veggieman2be:the hose is not fixed,it is moved all around the farm from row to row,that is one drawback of hose irrigation it needs labour,time and skill , standing and dragging hose around an acre farm for 4-5 hours is not a laughing matter. |

Good day, Please, I want to purchase as a matter of urgency cucumber seed this week. Where and how can I get it at this period of lock down. I need to occupy myself this week. |

Pls where can I get Hot pepper seed in Kwara state? |
Re: 30k Twice A Week From My Pepper Farm by okoroemeka(m): 8:34pm On Apr 26, 2020 |
waxingmoon:what quantities? it can be waybilled to you in kwara once the lockdown lifts but what we have is improved high yielding Cameron pepper variety. |
Re: 30k Twice A Week From My Pepper Farm by waxingmoon: 5:02am On Apr 27, 2020 |
okoroemeka:Thanks Boss! The Lockdown is really affecting. Kwara State Government allows movement from 8 am to 12 pm on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. |

Please how do you store your peppers if you do not wish to sell to market immediately? Keeping them in a well ventilated cool dry place, they lasted 7 days before showing signs of decay. Are there tips on how they can be stored for a longer period? |

numen:. Transplanting to grow bags give them the opportunity to grow bigger and stronger. But it is not a must. Once they reach 4-9 weeks u can't transplant to farm, but do so in the evening and water them. 1 Like 1 Share |

bassey25:. U can use pure water satchet or all those small nylon use by market women. |
Re: 30k Twice A Week From My Pepper Farm by FarmTech(m): 8:29am On Apr 28, 2020 |
codeQue:. Better to sell as soon as possible. |
Re: 30k Twice A Week From My Pepper Farm by codeQue: 11:31am On Apr 28, 2020 |
FarmTech: Okay thanks. That does leaves the farmers at the mercy of the off takers. I've watched several documentaries on storage methods used by the indians, where they build cold rooms using charcoal. It increases the shelf life by another week. I'll give it a trial, even if it isn't this season. |

FarmTech: Can I transplant it to nylon n leave it to grow n harvest it there |
Re: 30k Twice A Week From My Pepper Farm by FarmTech(m): 10:14pm On Apr 28, 2020 |
codeQue:. I've read about that too. Very interesting and I have it in mind to build one. But for now, I sell as soon as possible. But it seems like the charcoal cooler will work well only during the dry season when humidity is low. I'm not sure but if that is the case, it may not solve your problem as perishables normally go up in price during dry season. |
Re: 30k Twice A Week From My Pepper Farm by FarmTech(m): 10:15pm On Apr 28, 2020 |
ahmedio2017:. No oo. The roots will find the space very small. |
Re: 30k Twice A Week From My Pepper Farm by okoroemeka(m): 5:49am On Apr 29, 2020 |
codeQue:I don't see the reason why any farmer will wish to store his pepper harvest if he is not planning to dry it and add more value to it,I don't see the reason why, because pepper is a commodity that is consumed by also everyone in Nigeria at least once daily and the demand is always strong or less the farmer could not think out of the box to get other buyers from other places he will be tied to the monopolistic agenda of the marketers close to him,I went on market survey yesterday and I remove my hat to anyone that struggled to farm peppers this year because the payoff is surely coming,one flour bag is ₦17,000 while a vital feed bag or blue garri/rice bag is ₦12,000 in barracks market onitsha,I was just laughing when some analysts said that farm produce will fall in price during this health crisis,it is obvious they have not learnt about the simple economics of supply and demand,the supply is now seriously affected by the lockdown and the demand is just at 30-40% due to restrictions, when the demand will increase by 80% from 4th may when all the 63 markets and all businesses will start in anambra,your guess is as good as mine because prices will have no were else to go but up 1 Like |

ahmedio2017:. U can use cement bags. But why go thru the stress? Irrigating it esp in dry season is not easy. Search NL for sack farming to see samples. |
Re: 30k Twice A Week From My Pepper Farm by FarmTech(m): 10:15pm On Apr 29, 2020 |
okoroemeka:.. Hmm. I'll check the market and see. |
Re: 30k Twice A Week From My Pepper Farm by FarmTech(m): 10:17pm On Apr 29, 2020 |
Olaleyeabdullah:. Probably a fungal disease. Spray fungicide asap - a mixture of a contact fungicide (eg mancozeb) and a systemic fungicide ( metalaxyl, carbendazim). |

bassey25:. okra, corn, tomato etc |
Re: 30k Twice A Week From My Pepper Farm by numen(m): 9:58pm On May 01, 2020 |
Did you uproot it before taking the picture or you took the pic as it was in your farm? If the latter, it looks like the roots are exposed. Olaleyeabdullah: |
Re: 30k Twice A Week From My Pepper Farm by austinomd(m): 10:24pm On May 01, 2020 |

austinomd:. Seems like the ugu lack manure. Good fertilization can help wade off diseases to a great extend. Fertilize with manure and prune out diseased leaf. Staking will also help a great deal. |
