okoroemeka: Another downside of growing cabbage is that it takes approximately 120+ days to mature and you only harvest once ![]() |

DeLaRue:please the net used for or nylon used for the nursery wasn't gotten in Nigeria?? |
Re: 500,000 Naira From One Plot Of Land In 90 Days. by okoroemeka(m): 6:43am On Aug 11, 2019 |
anelka78:it depends on the climate zone you are in,but I think a properly shaded farm with palm fronds or shaded net will reduce the temperature , with drip irrigation in place and daily showering of the crops with water at high noon can bring good results,and it's not too difficult to shade using palm fronds as long as there's availability of palm trees and bamboos in the area,we have shaded two plots of cucumbers at the height of the dry season with good results,the sun was just too much. |

DeLaRue:@Delarue,this your cabbage nursery pics has a cooling effect on the body if you look at it too long,I really like things like that,and don't you think the spacing is much between ridges? |

okoroemeka:Hope you soaked the seeds in lukewarm water b4 planting to break dormancy faster. I would have sent you enough seeds of okra yellen via PMT or ABC, but I have temporarily relocated from Lagos axis for now. I reserved seeds when i cultivated it. it matures less than 2months, good heat tolerant, sweet taste and dwarf plant. 1 Like |

tpben:It depends on the variety u are planting, some less than 90days. Bro if everyone is considering d downside of some crops, such crops would have become extinct or scarce o. For instance a cup of shelled melon was once between N50 to N70. Suddenly the thing jumped to around N150 per milk cup, probably because most farmers can not endure the stress involved in the production. I once studied what a neibouring farmer passed through to get that egusi seeds out and clean. From harvesting the balls, packing together, breaking each ball with big plank, allowing to ferment for days, packing out the seed with lots of debris, washing with lot of water stage by stage to remove d rotten debris, and so on. Since that day, I praise those egusi farmers. |

okoroemeka: Are the okra from Nihort OPV? |
Re: 500,000 Naira From One Plot Of Land In 90 Days. by okoroemeka(m): 11:25am On Aug 11, 2019 |
excanny:yes,I think they are improved opv varieties,I saw the okra farm in June when I want to get tenera oil palm for a client and I was impressed at the height the crop was fruiting at 2 feet for the NHAe 47-4 and 3ft for the LD-88.. |
Re: 500,000 Naira From One Plot Of Land In 90 Days. by okoroemeka(m): 11:37am On Aug 11, 2019 |
OluchiDelly:ha,one cup of shelled egusi is ₦350 in my side,no body dey look your face ooo!but processing the rotten egusi balls can be mechanized,I am even having visions of a machine that can do that like a mini palm oil digester and thresher connected with water to wash and seive efficiently. |

tpben: From day of transplant, our cabbages are ready between 68 and 72 days. A lot depends on variety. Just like cucumber, you can make money on cabbages. If you have 10, 000 cabbages on an acre, that could give you betweem N1.2 million or more in just over 2 months. If you're organised, you can easily have up to 25,000 plants at different stages of maturity at any given time. Growing cucumber at that sort of scale is a major challenge. Think of the bamboo palaver alone, & most importantly, the amount of work required to prepare the land before planting. With cabbage special land preparation is not necessary. It's more rugged & will generally grow in most types of land. However, I find cabbage to be highly labour intensive. Because of its weight, harvesting, moving it to the packing area, packing in giant bags and even loading into vehicles require a lot of heavy physical work. Cucumber doesn't have these challenges. One man can handle all the work in a small scale cucumber farm & still be bringing in money. Cucumber is easier, but if you have the manpower, knowledge, and resources, with cabbage, you will laugh to the bank & have little or no competition in your local area. Market women will just be rushing your super fresh cabbage. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

DeLaRue: How much did you sell a bag and how many cabbage heads inside sir? |
Re: 500,000 Naira From One Plot Of Land In 90 Days. by excanny: 8:52am On Aug 12, 2019 |
okoroemeka: What rate did u get them Sir? Cos some random seller in IB is offering me a some unknown dwarf hybrid for 1kg/N5000. Any idea if Nihort Ibadan have similar ones too. Just to know if it's even justified to move all the way from Lagos to get some at Nihort. |

okoroemeka:Sir how many seeds did you put in a hole? Good morning |
Re: 500,000 Naira From One Plot Of Land In 90 Days. by okoroemeka(m): 1:44pm On Aug 12, 2019 |
excanny:definitely yes,nihort ibadan is the parent institution and also the headquarters of nihort Nationwide,you will get all the varieties you need and even more there, don't buy any random seed use improved varieties,certified heirloom or hybrid varieties.we got 500g @₦1500. |
Re: 500,000 Naira From One Plot Of Land In 90 Days. by okoroemeka(m): 1:49pm On Aug 12, 2019 |
Idemujoseph:we put one seed per hole, because we soaked in water and every seed we planted have roots coming out already,we used 40 cm spacing and will replace the ones that didn't germinate after 5-6 days,don't even think about transplanting,we have abandoned the nursery we did because at germination the roots has gone so far inside the soil that a successful transplanting is impossible. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Re: 500,000 Naira From One Plot Of Land In 90 Days. by okoroemeka(m): 7:58pm On Aug 12, 2019 |
DeLaRue:hmm,this is another interesting info,if it turns out to be Clemson spineless then it' has an added bonus on easy irritant free harvesting,but time will tell. |

Pls does anyone know what to do if a cucumber plant produces too many female flowers at a time also when a plant produces up to 5 fruits simultaneously? |

Re: 500,000 Naira From One Plot Of Land In 90 Days. by okoroemeka(m): 6:34am On Aug 13, 2019 |
Mrkellz:the main cause of fertilizer burn is urea fertilizer,it boosts plant growth very fast,and if not used properly kills even faster,so if u don't know how to use urea stay away, soaking manure in water reduces the burning effect,at least we have used it without any negative effect. |
Re: 500,000 Naira From One Plot Of Land In 90 Days. by okoroemeka(m): 6:38am On Aug 13, 2019 |
Mrkellz:that's the problem with gynocieous varieties,you have to remove some of the undeveloped fruits so the crop production will not fluctuate wildly up and down. |
