@Farmerakinloye6 please like how many fruits are you expecting from one plant on the average; I'm asking because some growers say they get up to 15 fruits per plant |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Farmerakinloye6(m): 11:07am On Jan 01, 2021 |
hadex90:careful pruning cucumber has many advantage than you can imagine. Unpruned will aid habitation of insect, it will make your pesticide spraying time increase, working through furrow will not be easy, instead for your cucumber to be feeding main stand it will also be feeding two to three base branch, fruit per stand will increase but not viable for market, during raining season it will encourage sickness e.t.c NOTE understand how to prune before you do it!!! 1 Like |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Farmerakinloye6(m): 11:26am On Jan 01, 2021 |
Omonaijani:with what am seeing, I will have more than 15 per stand but not all will be viable for market. If GOD allow me to see 10 viable on each stand BABA my net pt go pass 1m. |

Get this for your cucumber farm and thank me later. Do you seek a simple and effective solution for plant nutrition with additional benefits for your soil? Neem Organic Fertilizer is here for you!. It gives 15-25% better yield than most other fertilizers. Moreover, Neem fertilizer controls nematodes and other soil-borne pests, thereby helping roots to absorb nutrients in a regular and optimum manner. The offered organic fertilizer has N-P-K in ratio 0.39:3.38:1.50 Message me on whatsapp https:///2347015585967 to buy. 10k for bag of fertilizer 6k for bottle of Neem oil

Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by ojbig1: 7:42pm On Jan 04, 2021 |
Please I need suggestions. I did a tomato nursery using coco peat and chicken manure. After 10 day the seedlings started dying mostly the stem shrinks before it die. I consulted with @farmerakinloye and realized the manure is the culprit. Am ready to do a fresh nursery using coco peat and npk 15:15:15 dissolved in water. Do I use this method or use coco peat and plain water. |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Farmerakinloye6(m): 6:50am On Jan 05, 2021 |

Farmerakinloye6:bro pls how have u been handling white flies? |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by komoland: 6:28am On Jan 06, 2021 |
Thanks, how do you apply NPk 15:15:15, is it by fertigation system or by hand application to the soil, am asking cos we are in dry season and hot weather now. Farmerakinloye6: |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Farmerakinloye6(m): 7:41pm On Jan 06, 2021 |
Olaleyeabdullah:I use rich soil as my insecticide.am stopping usage of insecticide tomorrow. How do you wet? If you are wetting from the head to the base,it is wrong! It will encourage disease or virus. Wet only the base. To my knowledge I don't think there is way to eradicate white fly fully in a farm. What is happening to the crop? Upload it 2 Likes |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Farmerakinloye6(m): 7:47pm On Jan 06, 2021 |
komoland:by hand application, light deep hole,few inches from each stand,then cover back after the application. If it is 20:10:10, then you will have to be very careful. Am learner, pls what is fertilizer application has to do with hot weather? |

Which Cultivar is this |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by komoland: 11:07am On Jan 07, 2021 |
Am a learner too bros, some farmers say npk fertilizer can be applied during the summer months if you are ''careful'' while some say it is not advised to applied it because it can burn the plants causing excess growth and lots of stems and leaves will outgrow the root system and create stress as the roots try to maintain the plant, that is why i'm asking and that is the reason i was not apply npk fertilizer to my plants during summer months because i would not like to take a risk i was only applied basal manure to the soil and foilar liquid fertilizer directly to the leaves, but now i will try npk fertilizer application since you had applied it and everything work well, i knew soil applied fertilizers feed the plant longer than fertilizers applied to the leaves because it lays in reserve in the soil. Thanks for this lesson, after transplanted the cucumber how many days interval you applied npk fertilizer to the soil? Farmerakinloye6: |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Farmerakinloye6(m): 11:26am On Jan 07, 2021 |
