The Hybrid Cucumber fruiting at 5 weeks. The pointsett variety is just flowering while the marketer is about to flower. All will be 5 weeks on saturday 1st. The attached picture is of the Hybrid Murano F2

I am comparing the growth rate, the yield and profitability of planting different varieties of cucumber. All the seeds are Technisem products. The varieties we are comparing are Hybrid Murano F2, Pointsett and Marketer variety

Following, infact, addicted 2 dis thread

I think you need water to avoid your fruit from bending or curving because of this dry season. I will teach people how to to staking in the nearest future . Well done

Murano F2 from agritropic is N5500 for 50gramms.
The contact no i know is 08030886296. Mr Dayo. He can possibly link you with their representative in the east.
I cant categorically answer the yield question. The picture was my first harvest. I planted 8acres. After full harvest i will be able to give more guidelines but not specific answer

You are highly welcome. Seed alone can not determine the growth rate. The soil type, pest and insects in the environment, fertilizer application, water application are some of the factors that also affects the germination rate of your crop. The Murano is fast but i m thinking the size should be bigger than that. When the other varieties are out , i will be able to compare.

My brother it didn't work. I lost the few cucumber I tested it on.

Sorry about your cucumber. Thanks for sharing. I have earlier read that there id no selective pesticide for vegetables. The practical confirms it. It has to be manual weeding

@ jethro. What time is d right time to apply fertilizer on cucumber. I read ppl talk about staking, did u stake ur cucumber?

I applied NPK 2 weeks after planting. I also applied liquid fertilizer when its start flowering between 4 _ 5 weeks. Fertilizer application time varies for varieties. Soil fertility is one of the factors to be considered.
Yes I have read and heard it too. I didn't stake this present one but planning to stake for next cucumber planting

What about spraying insectide and how can one stake.

@jethro2 nd world1 nd others. Is compulsory i make ridges for my cucumber and how many seed pa hole. At what time should i start applying insectide. For those in ijebu ode of ogun state,when can we plant next year.

Most insecticides don't work with most vegetables, cucumber included. My cucumber start having pest by second week after planting. The first application was effective. Subsequent ones was not. The insects became resistants' to the pesticide we are using. There is no sure method for insects and pest control
Stake is when you make some stands for the cucumber to crawl on. Like we do for Ugu vegetable and some tomato varieties. Instead of spreading on the soil they spread and crawl on the stake

Ridges help to reduce weeding. Its not compulsory but advisable to make ridges.
Apply insecticide once you start seeing insects. At times the leaf will start having holes. These are made by the insects.
Cucumber can be planted anytime of the year provided you can wet or supply water of minimum of an inch per day to your crop. It requires a well drained soil and lots of sunshine

Thanks jethro, for ur swift response, u ve been resource to me. Pls sir, how is d liquid fertilizer applied on crops, i only know about d granuled ones

You are highly welcome
Its usually mixed with some quantity of water.
For instance, the recommendation for GNLD Pro grow that we use is 16 litre water + 3 Spoonful of the liquid fertilizer for an acre of cucumber
Each liquid fertilizer has its own application uses

But is it harmful to the leaves, does the fertilizer affect d leaves when sprayed on top of d plants.

Liquid fertilizer is not harmful to the leaf.
