Farmerakinloye6: What variety are you talking about sir? I plan to have 4000 stands and have obtained drip tape to that effect |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Farmerakinloye6(m): 8:54am On Jan 22, 2021 |
okoroemeka:I will make enquiry and get back to you. One is okay right? |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Farmerakinloye6(m): 8:59am On Jan 22, 2021 |
SESknowledge:I replied to your question now "Darina". Start with 1000 or max 2000 stand first, after harvest, then increase in your next planting!!!! |

Olaleyeabdullah:In my experience with the cucs I've planted male flowers usually show up first to signal pollinators to include the route to their flight schedule so that when the female flowers show up pollinators are already abundantly available. |

Farmerakinloye6:thank you sir. nice doing business with you 1 Like |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by aquadude15: 1:41pm On Jan 22, 2021 |
Olaleyeabdullah:it is normal sir. the male flowers attract bees before female flowers start coming out. you would have less aborted female flower when compared to female dominated varieties |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by SESknowledge: 8:35pm On Jan 22, 2021 |
Farmerakinloye6: Advice well taken. Thanks for the response. I'll try the Darina then and revert to this thread as events unfold. One more thing please, is there any misconduct in planting water melon at another section of the same farmland where cucumber is planted? |

A research facility I'm acquainted with here in Nigeria produces and sells tissue culture suckers to farmers. They have to order large quantities though. Minimum of 1,000 or 10,000pieces. I don't remember which now. Emempaul: |

SESknowledge:no problem at all but water melon is not easy as you see it. It is a commodity that is sensitive and attract pest (Human and Animal). I planted half hectare in 2017 and I didn't see 1 eat talkless seen to sell, quail and gray squirrel eat everything all. Focus on Cucumber first. Bro hope you no cucumber dey shop money? 1 Like |

Farmerakinloye6: I already contacted someone to manage the farm and he's reputed to have done well with watermelon with verifiable evidence while I want to do cucumber. Hence the reason for considering having the two separate on two-two plots. Please enlighten me on the additional cost involved in cultivating cucumber. I know of seed, fertilizer, fungicide, insecticide and staking . |

Saybal:my farm is 38km from akure, if you want to visit no wallah but your own feeding will be on you and you will work |

Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Farmerakinloye6(m): 9:10pm On Jan 23, 2021 |
SESknowledge:okay, God help you.if you can handle pesticide and staking then you are good to go. |
