Ogas in d house, abeg how often should i water my cucumber plant to avoid story dat touch, for it not to be bitter. is just half a plot nd am using hand manual, bucket nd cup.

Please can someone here explain to me more about spinach farming,

i can hardly find any useful topic about it here on nairaland

why is it not cultivated more unlike cucumbers and peppers?

Is it that there is no market for it or the profit dont just add up.

Where can one market it or source for sure buyers.

I need a thorough research before Investing in it,

Good day house!
Please let's discuss planting two cucumber seed per hole. Do two seeds in the same planting hole increase or decrease yield?
Anyone with a practical experience should help to throw more light on it. Thanks!

decrease

Eyienyen:
decrease

Noted sir

I believe this has been touched on by Okoroemeka and others somewhere in this thread.

We plant 2 seeds per hole but make sure there is a gap of at least 1 foot between them,that is why our holes are rectangular

@Omonaijani go to adeniji at lagos island or ojota if you are based in Lagos and see for yourself what you want to buy. You will see dealers of whatever agrochemical you want at carton price. Don't let anyone here use you to chop in the name of call me.

Nairaland is free for advert for anyone that wants to be called.

To others saying he should call them, why not just tell him. Must everyone call you before a problem can be solved online. Imagine if @okoroemeka or anyone who give info here wants everyone to call him/her for information that is benefitting all of us today.

bozz okoro and other experts in the house, so I was thinking if someone knows the basics of operating drip irrigation on an open field. The difference between that and a green house is the use of shade net ànd use of partenocapic varieties? pls answers will be welcomed.

good morning.

it might be spreading from nearby bushes or farms.Also water the farm more frequently.

spray every three days and think that quantity is too much, you can reduce the laraforce gold to 20ml but be consistent with it, i believe it will reduce.

U are not using the right pesticide. Go for Abamectin (punch) or Imidacloprid (Imiforce or Courage) or emmamectin benzoate (Caterpillaforce or Hallakat). Irrigate well. After irrigating, dig few inches into the ground in several spots. If it is not wet, irrigation is poor.
.
Least I forgot, cover both top and bottom of leaves with the pesticide. That's how u deal with stubborn pests.

Well done thread here!

@ gurus, hope no late comer in this cucumber business?

I plan to plunge as soon as possible

Kudos to you all

sir but u know laraforce gold has imidacloprid as a.i, its just that white fly r highly regenerative. according to tip from bozz okoro. prevention is better than cure in whitefly control. using series of different a.i to confuse whitefly eg acetamiprid, imidacloprid, abamectin ,d.d force as early as 2nd week of planting every 5 days is good.

Ok, thats gud. He shud spray both top and bottom of leaves. One research shows that when u do this, u will control whiteflies successfully without using too many pesticides at once. He shud also clear surrounding bushes with herbicide.
