how are we coping with this irregular rain fall

SAME here in some part of Ibadan, in about 19 days, rain fell on my farm just two times.

I have resolve to daily watering.

3 bags from 800 cucumber(first harvest) , I don't know if that is a fair harvest, perhaps insufficient rain might be responsible for several fruits Inability to develop after pollination.

its being close to 3weeks of no rain here in onto stàte

. I usually thought those areas will have the greatest rainfall.

[quote author=Pes13 post=90350044]Good evening sir, @okoroemeka.

I got my murano 2f1 today. I took the pain to count the seeds in a can (1, 916 seeds in a can). I got two can in total to be planted on 1/2 acres.

I have some questions

1.Can I use NPK 20-10-10? That is what my supplier have at the moment, and I don't trust must of the 7k per bag NPK 15-15-15 in ibadan.


2. I have about 10 bags of poultry manure, which was bag since last year( I hope it is still good enough) . However, my question is that what quantity should I mix with soil as basal manure, in other to avoid burning my plant.

3. What other things do I need to get, to start the game. I have bought ridmogold fungicide.

4. I need a supplier of staking net and hafier bonus or maxiforce in Ibadan, I will be grateful if you have any link in Ibadan that can be of help sir.


Please, can you connect me with your supplier? I need Murano seeds if it's still available. I am in Ibadan too.

[quote author=gokefolaranmi post=92366666][/quote](1)NPK 201010 can be used in cucumber farm ,due to non availability of npk 151515, but use a balanced foliar feed and make sure what of what you are buying 50% of fertlizers in the market is just moulded clay soil. (2)I think it will be a better idea to mix recent manure with the old ones,at least another 10 bags + the old ones.(3)what you need mostly after planting is insecticide and staking immediately..(4)we have used staking net and ii am not a big fan of it,it is not as durable as presumed and we use black nylon twines which can be used for 2 planting,it's more work but worth it at the end,check SOLOKAD in ibadan,he sell agric inputs.

Sack farm and ridge farm which one will be better and give more yield,I think it is time to find out so farmers will know which way to go this coming dry season, we wanted to bag 1000 sacks and plant 2 crops per sack but we gave up and ran away at 800 bags(not a funny job)so we have 1500-1600 crops in sacks and similar quantities planted on ridges.

Am in Lagos and it hasn't rained in over 3weeks, am thinking of trying it in small quantity though. I did some research on it and it seems to be a high yielding cultivar.
Can u pls contribute if u know more about it. I also saw Kareem f1 do u know it
