OluchiDelly:


Agree wt you. Its because is not too concentrated like those from chicken.



If u try this with decomposed chicken manure without mixing enough soil, it may burn your seedlings.

Hasib04:
What is the effect of cutting those leaves infected by DM hope, it wouldn't affect the young fruits?

okoroemeka:
that's why systemic fungicides is a must during rainy season it does not wash away easily like contact fungicides

benardj3:
please sir can D.I grow substitute for urea ?

ideepaul:

Sir I was told to wait till month end for cabrio(systemic)...it's really a long wait...well thanks to advice and knowledge picked up from the elders here, the farm is alright @ 4weeks, just spotted some female flowers yesterday even when the male are barely out in good numbers(I planted Saira F1, a mono...)

ideepaul:

Na, it won't affect it seriously if you do it sensibly, but you may need to take into account the spread of the DM spores when doing pruning. From what I learnt from Okoroemeka, wiz2019 and the deactivated pistotita here, you should prune when the leaves are dry,
wear clean cloths
Spray immediately after pruning with fungicides and foliar fertilizers as the plant is stressed up at that point
Please I am open to corrections if I am wrong o

Hasib04:
How much is going to cost to fix drip irrigation on three plots of land?

HornyTave:


I did with chicken manure, left outside for more than 2 months and the few that grew had stunted growth

OluchiDelly:


Something should have gone wrong somewhere. Besides its over concentrated issue, Sawdust/wood chips used may also be responsible, some trees have poisonous a.i that can kill young plants even human being.
Don't underate the power of chicken manure when used in right proportion. i once used it in sack farming, none of the transplanted seedlings survived. I have also used it with brilliant results.

HornyTave:

ideepaul:
chicken dung left outside for 2 months?
If it's sawdust based chicken dung especially from broilers that you left outside without covering, just know the "manure" is 98 sawdust, and wood chippings has a high carbon footprint which can stunt crop if present in excessively high quantity. The poultry dung you should use should be sourced from layers and not broilers, btw,you were saying nothing beats pig dung based manure have you tried goat and rabbit dungs before? Just try it and I guarantee you will be searching frantically for where to source for them in commercial quantities

HornyTave:


that reminds me ideepaul, I'm still waiting for the quotation on cost of rabbit cages that could accommodate 20 rabbits

ideepaul:

U
You will need
22-27 pieces of 2*2 polines
4 pieces of 2*3 for the main support
30 hinges for the doors
60 pieces of capper nails for the hinge
1 roll of wire-nesh with large openings(buying full roll is economical)
7-9metre long aluminium pan or any suitable material for urine collector( don't use Nigerian zinc material because the urine will destroy it quickly)
½",1", 1½", 2", 3" nails ( I don't buy nails, so I can't help with how many pounds you will need)
Search Google for favourable designs as it is dependent on space, available materials, and management practices

Hasib04:
Good evening, this was infected by nematodes, am I right sir?

ideepaul:
I did that since last month, what you need is to search for a suitable design, the difference won't be much based on what you stated on the pepper thread...when you get a design in mind, just upload the image and I will help in modification of materials needed and necessary corrections to the design...btw if you can spare some extra cash, I would advice you use iron mesh similar to that used for poultry galvanized cage, it's durable an may last for many years

aquadude15:

thank you boss.
please is it compulsory I spray under leaves with this chemical listed or am good to go with just spraying the top

FarmTech:

.
Not compulsory. But it can help control stubborn pests and diseases.

aquadude15:

thank you boss.
pls I notice my cucumber leaves curl upward tgr next day after spraying pesticide (predator).
is their any cause for alarm

ideepaul:

That image is not clear sir, but if the plants don't wilt totally due to serious overdose, you may have issues of leaf burn and all will be alright with time. Btw what dose did you use per knapsack sir

aquadude15:
.
thank you sir.
I used two of its cover

okoroemeka:
sorry it's my fault, he is a farm manager that buys things from diekololo farm shop he will better direct you

ideepaul:

2 capsfull per knapsack? I don't know how big the cover is, but I believe it's past 30ml! For a 50ec Chlorpyriphos based insecticide, you should not exceed 30ml, I use 15ml per knapsack on my lil farm and it works ( I was told to use 30ml for vegetative stage and less than 15ml for flowering stage) I won't use it for flowering crops at all though. I don't use predator for the records, but I have tried my hands on other high conc. chlorpyriphos based insecticides. Buy injection syringe from pharmacy stores that will help you measure stuff accurately, and always ask the seller for guidance if instructions on bottle is not clearly understood

Emmafly:
