how much is funguforce gold

okoroemeka:
there is no visible difference between the two in terms of plant vigour and disease resistance but the obvious differences comes up during fruiting,cu 999 will produce an average yield of greenish cucumbers (if fertilized well) with light whitish stripes and very big sized,we have measured one at 40.7 cm, while cu 986 will produce an astonishing high yield of medium sized,light green cucumbers that rarely exceed 20-22 cm in length,I stand to be corrected but I think the cu 999 is a mean machine.

pls which is the best variety to plant alongside murano for pollination.
I tried out shallini because of it more male population but it was a disaster because it got infected and transfered it to the murani which made my yield low

OK sir

@Okoroemeka, you have been a wonderful inspiration for many including myself. This thread is in itself a full course on cucumber farming, let's call it CU101. Thank you for your selflessness and sound guidance.

I would like to know the outcome of the cucumber cultivation you did in furrows with drip irrigation at 20cm planting distance. Was it sustainable? Did you have any disease or ventilation issues? Kindly update Sir.

what we found out is that planting crops at 30cm and excatly the spot the water is dropping reduces irrigation time to 20-30 mins per day and fuel bills,if you are using drip irrigation make sure to plant with the system on,so to plant close on the wetter area,surely we had running battles with all sorts of diseases with powdery mildrew also included,the furrow system is a great idea but the 20cm spacing is definitely not so smart

Thanks for this wonderful observation. I'm guessing that same system with planting distance of 30cm might be advantageous. It will save on time ( no need calculating the distance to create planting holes), easier application of manure (as it will be applied in a straight line) and better water management (as the water will first flow in the furrow where the plants are).
What do you think Sir?

that will be typical weather problems,the weather pattern is changing with nightly rains and very hot day sun and high temperatures,green bean, cabbages ,pepper,eggplant,even cucumbers respond to low or increased temperatures,peppers may refuse to ripe or shed fruits due to low and cold temperatures,eggplant will definitely shed flowers and abort fruits due to high temperature,cabbage will bolt and refuse to form head due to high temperatures,the same with green bean it will take more time to produce flowers and even if flowers set,it can still shed it if temperatures continue to soar as expected,you have to be ready to water it if the top soil dries out and plan how to use palm fronds to shade out 40-50% of the light intensity to create a cooler micro climate.

From what I have seen, the cu986 flowers @ 3weeks, that's a week faster than Saira in most cases! I hope my Oga @safarifarm can update us on happenings over there....and good news to Saira F1 farmers in Akwa Ibom, the price of seeds has finally crashed and it's readily available at most shops within uyo metropolis, thus, before cu986 can convince us to abandon the cheaper Saira, it will have some serious miracles to perform.

Please guru in the house rats and birds are eating my young cucumber what can I do?

Could you plz share address and contacts of sellers?
That AKEES guy you shared his number here the other time has to be one of the worst customer service ever. Called him and he says he was to busy to attend to me on call that I should chat my enquiry to him. Did that and he doesn't bother to reply after several attempts.

Saira is 42days from planting to 1st harvest, My Saira is 41 days today and I will be harvesting btw tomorrow or next dept on the endsars curfew ...I have not planted cu986 before, so I can't say a thing about its yield, but from what I have seen, i will harvest them within the next 2 weeks(under 42days),as it's already forming fruits

Na seniorman you dey call na , he is the one managing the state govt. farm in okobo. I am not defending him o, but he receives more than hundred calls a day, so maybe overtime, the attitude may show up( though I have never observed such). The next reliable shop is Ekponwa by ukana offot, and someone dropped the no. after my comments...

There are east west sales reps that have pasted their contacts on this thread,I don't know why farmers will be calling traders for inputs they can get waybilled to them for east west at a better price,cedaagro and David olatian are available for your farm inputs.

Good morning sir; please kindly help with the below review on Saira.
(1) Please, is the Saira darker than CU999?
(2) is it marketable in the East and West?
(3) Can it really produce 10+ fruits as claimed?
(4) is it a self pollinator like CU999 during during
dry season?
(5) how many fruits can fill chicken feed bag?
(6) I thought dark green cucumber like morano and greego is more Acceptable in Calabar and port Harcourt?

1) it's a light green cucumber unlike cu999, cu986 is the lighter version
2) I don't know about its marketability beyond the Akwa Ibom, cross river, and Rivers state
3)it produces more than 10 fruits if managed properly, though they are smaller compared to others
4)It's a self pollinating like cu999
5)It may take more than 120 fruits
6) Murano and greengo are not accepted at all around Akwa Ibom, don't know about Rivers state, even cu99 is not acceptable during the rainy season over here.

It's bad to treat a customer that way. Get a new number for your sales reps to handle your business then.

stay tuned to the channel,we will dissect the cost and expenses to start up a tomato farm and we have our scales ready to weigh everything that comes out,so we can have a very clear picture of the Dynamics of tomato farming.also I have a feeling that a well managed tomato farm can rival a cucumber farm in terms of revenue generated considering the cost of tomatoes around my Axis,let's not jump to conclusions only time will tell.
