Why Greengo F1 is one of the best commercially oriented cucumber seeds in town

There are many varieties of cucumber in Nigeria from different seed companies, some are good but one stands out due to the reason underlined below.

Deep Greenish plum fruit: Greengo f1 has one of the finest deep greenish colour of fruits you can find in Nigeria. Asides, it produces averagely equal sized fruits that are plum which enhances its package-ability.

Dioecious: Cucumber by nature is a monoecious crop but Greengo f1 is a dioecious. What this means is that it is similar to local papaya plant that has male and female flowers on different plant stands. In other words, out of ten plant stands, one could be male and the remaining nine, females. Mostly in ration 10:1, the few male plants stands are expected to pollinate the very many female plant stands with the help of beneficiary insects/winds.

Resistance to weather changes: Cucumber plants often respond to day length, heat, time of the year etc. This changes in environment causes cucumber plants to mostly produce predominantly male flowers with few female flowers resulting to potentially poor yield. Having an exclusive female plant stands from a diecious crops like Greengo F1 has solved this problem - A female plant would always be a female plant.

High yield: This is one of the benefits of planting only dioecious seeds. Since the ratio is mostly 10:1 in favour of predominantly female plants, you have potentially high yield every other thing being equal.

Market sentiment: The fresh veggies markets are predominantly disposed to deep greenish cucumber fruits especially in Southwest Nigeria. You have a better unit price from planting this type than the light greenish ones.

Resistance to Downy Mildew: This is perhaps the major threat in cucumber cultivation especially in raining season. There is no degree of preventive measures you can take to stem this infection if the variety in the first place does not have intermediate to high resistance to mildew. Greengo f1 has a very strong resistance to mildew even without preventive measures (though not wise).

Long shelf-life: This cucumber variety can stay for a week without depreciating in colour or firmness. Only few varieties if any can equal this. This is perhaps an attraction to both retailers and consumers.

Early maturity: The first harvest is as early as five weeks and a half from planting

Lastly, if you are still in doubt, just give it a trial and you would never cultivate other varieties of cucumber again in this class. Remember that in veggies farming, it is never a wise decision to always go for cheap seeds with cheap genes.

GreatNegro:

What is your view on Mona Lisa f1?

Jawn:
Thanks Op. Pls what are your prices on grams ? I want to give that a try. Though am on darina now.

es144000:
What is the cost f greengo. F1,price and how many seeds in a pack?

hybridveggies:
You would never regret trying it. Luckily enough, it is packaged in small UV pack size of 500 seeds. Just get a sachet and in 6 weeks time after planting it, you would order for a truck load. Please note 500 seeds is around 20g

aquila3:

Jawn:


How much is this one sachet ?

hybridveggies:
You can transplant your cabbage seedlings during this raining season between 3 to 4 weeks provided they have developed second level of leaves formation. Carrot would also require nursery because of the size of the seeds. The seeds are so small and tiny that planting them too deep would hinder their germination. On the other hand, planting them too shallow without any form of protection against heavy down pour would result into waste of seeds which is the reason why planting them in shallow soil but in nursery is very essential to having good germination and survival rate.
Lastly, carrot can be planted during this period as well. I hope you are aware of the retail price of carrot presently in town, I wish it stay that way till your harvest. You could visit our site www.hybridveggies.com for more resources that are indigenous to Sub-Saharan Africa. Cheers!

@op wat is d difference between greengo and five rings

DEBJOCH1:
I did MuranoF1 some times in 2015, I got my seed from you through some one, at first stage, my plant did so great, but I was hit by sever draught then, the reason was because I targeted doing drying season farming thinking that getting access to water won't be my problem, toward late December to January, I was hit by sever draught my well dried up, every effort made to get access to water proved abortive, that was how I watched my promising Murano F1 died one after the other, within the month of February 2015 I felt like my God....., though I have learnt my lesson, I have gotten another site with availability of water but I am still hunted by the fears of the past. will greengoF1 now be my Savior as I am having at list a plot of land and I intend running a pilot farming on Greengo F1 cucumber there to know how my next step will be. kindly advise if I am good to go about that now. Your advise is welcome

hybridveggies:
Thank you for reading. MonaLisa f1 is also a product of Eastwest seeds also Greengo f1. However, Greengo f1 is a superior variety compare to monalisa f1. While monalisa f1 is a monoecious seeds , greengo f1 is dioecious though bothproduce deep greenish coloured fruits, the later is high yielding and has a long fruiting period than the former. Lastly, greengo f1 has a better resistance to mildew. Combining all these attributes make it more expensive than monalisa f1

AktiViti:


@HYBRIDVEGGIES, there's a cucumber my friend planted sometimes last year (though I do not know the SPECIES) and after producing flowers, it did not form any fruits.
DON'T YOU THINK THESE GREENGO F1 or MONALISA F1 would have caused it since they have only one set of flowers
