Zzchampion:Hopefully I will give the analysis soon. Though am I new farmer but frankly I doubt if there is any variety of cowpea that takes just 40 days to harvest. Sorry for the delay 1 Like |

Thanks all for the constant interest you have in my cowpea. Am not a good writer so please bear with me. I will do everything in my power to explain how it all went and where we are now. It's approximately 15 weeks since I planted and am yet to harvest. The late variety of cowpea normally takes that much time but hopely I will be harvesting in 2 to 3 weeks time. The journey so far has been good really but definitely stressful. I will start with the challenges, the most important one is insects, throughout my investigation i was made to understand that i need insecticides 2 or 3 times only but currently i have sprayed insecticides 6 times. The pests have been really annoying. I used basic two types of insecticides and one fungicide; Lara Force, Magic Force and Imi Force. 2 Likes |

I've been following ur thread wit keen interest cos next year I want to join the agribusiness as well. Although I am more interested in rice but am looking for a backup crop cos rice farming is very difficult and risky. |

Yildiz:how much for the insecticides and how did you apply them? How do you know when Cowpea is ready for harvesting? |
| Re: My Cowpea Farm In Kano by Yildiz: 3:33pm On Nov 03, 2017 |
Krak:Magic force is 2500 per litre. I used 16 L sprayer with half milk tin per sprayer load Cowpea is ready for harvesting when the pods are dried. I will upload a pic 2 Likes |
