Alright boss, I understand Greengo produces dark green and bigger fruits and that it exhibits greater resistance to diseases.

On the average, how many cucus do you have per stand of your cucumber?

How many cucus fill up a sack?

humidity is still high in most places in the south, I hope you are not using only mancozeb fungicides o

if your female flowers are aborting, especially in high numbers, something is wrong with your farm!

Olaleyeabdullah:
boss please what is the shelf life of nandini f1 like

. Oga, I'm not a boss yet o. Fruits from a well managed crop should be okay for 5 days. Most of it should still be edible by the 7th day except the head region which would likely shrink.

i experienced drooping of the plant when sun start coming out. So I was kind of afraid let it not be that is heat stress which may lead to bitter fruits. So asking if anyone have experienced such

Good morning nairalanders, please I am seriously in need of drip tape and greengo cucumber seed, please you can contact me on 08076258076

pls! enlighten me on this, am using only Saaf, and buying Cabrio now doesn't Worth it. Or are you suggesting I use something like funguforce?

I think he meant using copper based fungicide and I think timely pruning will reduce DM as their would be better ventilation

copper based fungicides are very good and also a lil bit pricy as I always see them in small 50g packs @ N500, I wonder how many packs he will use per application since his farm is big.

funguforce and saaf are just the same chemicals with different brand names (mancozeb 63% carbendazim 12%). funguforce gold and ridomil gold are made up of mancozeb and metataxyl, though they are a lil bit more expensive. if I were you, I would buy that cabrio, use it once and then alternate with the other fungicides, both mancozeb and copper based if the infection is not at the stage of NO NEED! cabrio has a better systemic action, and as such will help manage the issue better than funguforce and saaf, then you prune the affected leaves if you can.

I've not really noted that. But on average you should plug fruits in 40 to 42 days from germination.

the way we use it here. I am using it at an interval of 7 days so thinking maybe that s too long

Olaleyeabdullah:

during the dry season, 7 days is enough and @ 3days interval for the rainy season...but is the weather really dry these days?
