Jove2012:I think fertilizer expiration can only affect organic based fertilizer not in organic,I am not too sure but bags of granular npk fertilizer don't have best dates on them,I have a friend that used 4 yrs expired Plantzyme fertilizer by biostadt and will swear that it worked.note that Plantzyme is seaweed extract. |

ogbongenet:I just read this thread from page 1 to the end... And I must say I've learnt alot from everyone especially you op I'm not sure theres any other thread on this forum as educative as this thread on pepper farming I recently bought one acre of land in ogun state.... I bought this land for the purpose of pepper farming.. I've done alot of research on pepper farming.. but sadly I have no experience.. I'd love to visit your farm just to learn a thing or two from you.. I currently live in abeokuta okelantoro area... |

okoroemeka:Good day to all in the house. I have been a silent mentee of this thread and do appreciate the contributions of all in increasing our knowledge base. @Okoroemeka, please what variety of pepper is most favoured in the eastern market - avenir, efia or Cameroonian yellow pepper for commercial production and marketing? |
Re: 30k Twice A Week From My Pepper Farm by tpben: 12:33pm On Sep 23, 2019 |
Psalmy2cute: An acre for a start? Why not try small and scale up. Don't be deceived nor carried away by paper projections on profitability of pepper littered here and there. Try it first. Know your market and other unforseen circumstances like disease outbreak. Make you no go lose your capital. My candid advice 2 Likes |

tpben:Well I did put that into consideration... but I had to make a different choice.. since I'll also be employing a farm manager.. who lives at the community where the farm will be established ..... Besides that what I want right now is experience I dobt want to feel like I have to rely on the farm manager for everything... infact... I dont want him to know I have no experience in farming.. hes from kotonu border area.. and he have decided to relocate to ogun state just for this project 1 Like |

Psalmy2cute:. Gather the experience doing it yourself, that's the best. Read stuffs online. Add cucumber too Better returns and short maturity period. |
Re: 30k Twice A Week From My Pepper Farm by Psalmy2cute(m): 12:49pm On Sep 23, 2019 |
tpben:I've never really thought of adding cucumber to my farm.... How long does it take for cucumber to mature for harvest |
Re: 30k Twice A Week From My Pepper Farm by Psalmy2cute(m): 12:51pm On Sep 23, 2019 |

ogbongenet:I am a new member in this forum. I have been enjoying the conversation here for some days now. I will soon be a retiree. What about security of the pepper. Because it will be very expensive to fence one or two acres of land |
Re: 30k Twice A Week From My Pepper Farm by ogbongenet: 7:28pm On Oct 06, 2019 |
freshrose:Good evening sir , I don't think you have to fence the whole farm for security, thieve will only harvest to eat ,it will take many hours to harvest acres of land,so don't worry about that too much sir.whenever I'm planting I always believed 0.005℅ for thieves and animals |

You can call for your Fermented Rabbit Urine (FRU)and rabbit poo. Both are organic fertilizers that the intelligent farmers are using this days to cut their expenses and experience bountiful yield. Watshap 08169496284 Call 08055269033 A trial will convince you. |

Psalmy2cute: I like you mindset Sir, I had the same earlier this year. Had an acea of land proposed for Pepper, but I have less than half a plot that survived. My discovery and recommendations are: 1) Think and plan big 2) Read and learn wide 3) Be ready to experiment 4) Never be far from your pepper farm ( if you really want to learn) 5) The Farm manager should do maintenance work majorly while you spear head the project. 6) Pepper farming requires real patience and a never give up spirit 7) Learn how to Nurse your pepper yourself and do so ( only buy seedlings from reliable and trustworthy farmers, as it's different for a novice farmer to differentiate the specie of young pepper plants) 1 Like |

Jove2012:Oh, I plan to do the nursery myself (including the manager).. i just want to be sure i have the right seeds though... hybrid seeds to be specific |

REUBEN010:the shape,size of Efia habanero is the most commonly available pepper in the market called rodo or danjarawa,avenir is bigger and scotch bonnet but due to it's big size and crazy yield it beats every other pepper in yield,if it's topped and properly managed 1 Like |

@okoroemeka, have you ever grown Etna f1 hot pepper from technisem? |
Re: 30k Twice A Week From My Pepper Farm by okoroemeka(m): 6:27am On Oct 16, 2019 |
Cocoboms:not from technisem but we have grown nihort shombo variety,Etna is shombo with fingerlike pods,it's very resistant to diseases |
Re: 30k Twice A Week From My Pepper Farm by Cocoboms(m): 9:53am On Oct 16, 2019 |
Okay sir. I'll like to compare etna f1 yield with that of Avenir f1 since they are both from technisem. okoroemeka: |
Re: 30k Twice A Week From My Pepper Farm by Olaleyeabdullah(m): 12:09pm On Oct 16, 2019 |
okoroemeka:what is your assessment of nihort seeds compared to technisem in terms of yield |
Re: 30k Twice A Week From My Pepper Farm by okoroemeka(m): 3:01pm On Oct 16, 2019 |
Olaleyeabdullah:all heirloom varieties are the same,even if it's technisem,East West or nihort,the difference is the packaging,it's when you go for hybrids that's when you see big difference in vigour,growth,yield,etc |
