Good job bro. I just want to start mine, pls what insecticides or pesticides did you use for the land preparation before planting? Thanks

I did not use any insecticides or pesticides for land preparation since the seed is already treated.i feel all hybrid seeds are treated.

I don't know how many? But a 50g pack can take care of 1 plot.

Yes Ezinwa25 is right.Most high breed seeds can take 30 days but the particular one I'm cultivating is 37-47 days.

. Can I have your contact so u can guide me on how to start cucumber cultivation. I have a piece of land in Benin that I wish to use for this purpose.

I give God all the glory for the help and also to thank my nairaland mentors,not forgetting those following this thread.
I did first harvest and the second and I'm so happy even though I was disappointed when I was swindled by market women,the first day of my sale.
I sold a bag for 2300 but I swear never to go to them again unless I can sell upscale.
I went to places, I discovered some upscale eatery buy in kg and 1 I eventually had a deal buys for 200/kg

So happy growing such veggies is being demystified by the day. Within the next 18 months growing a crop like Strawberries in the South will spread as "something" is being worked on.

I have been doing research on strawberries but my challenge is the market sir.

l think the challenge should rather be achieving good harvest not the market! lt is a high value crop and sells premium!
