You should try and get a comprehensive guide. Which variety are you planting?

haven't decided yet, the land is still under cassava, would want a small sachet of seeds to try out.

I don't think I have Mydaz cucumber seeds anymore but I will check. If available, I will alert you here.
You should a variety in mind. I have programs schedule for Mydaz RZ F1 and there is a crop guide from east west for cucumbers too.

The schedule for each variety is different but similar. Mydaz F1 produces average of 20 fruits per plant and can't be compared to other varieties with less than 10 fruits averagely. The fertlization /spray program will definitely be different.

I spray insecticide only when I see insect.
I alternate any fungicide I lay my hand upon

Good day sir, this mydas hw do you compare the average fruit size to murano 2f1 or cu99 . I want to try the mydaz variety .

Where in Oyo state are you?

klbakare:


my brother, it's a long story. Although I have gotten drip tapes now, but the challenge is that all of the accessories are also sold in bulk. like I need 15 connectors now, I want to buy a pack of 100. if I decide to use ground supports, I'd also have to buy a pack of 100. it's tiring my brother. cucumbers consume water like mad and watering with bucket is nauseating. Life is really hard for a DIYer in Nigeria. I am in Oyo State. Nairaland sellers are terrible, I have spoken or done business with some of them. Do you have any deal?

Mydaz is big and dark green, but you won't get 20 fruits per plant in open field sha. 91-95cukes should fill a bag

You will get 20 average fruits if you follow the right schedule in open field. The fertlization is twice a month with a minimum of 15g-30g fertlizer per plant. We used npk 20:5:10 with zinc as trace, SSP 20%, MOP 0:0:60 and magnesium sulphate.
I tested this with my colleagues in 50 growbags in Lokoja at the height of the heat in March/May
We mixed the fertlizers according to the stages with a formula for blooming flowers @ 4 weeks after transplanting at npk 20:25:35 with a magnesium sulphate foliar spray of 2grams per litre twice a month.
I believe with a shadenet of 50% UV, you will even get more.

It is a hose with tiny holes. It is better than manual, handheld sprinklers. Okoroemeka sell it. Below is a pic from a NL member:

I bought with agro chemicals like funguforce gold and cabri duo but waybill was 10,000.
I bought the tak agro brand of fertlizers outside magnesium sulphate because there are generally very good.

So sorry, I am bothering you alot these days, but now you are back, lemme learn a bit from you sir
Have you thought about mixing your own fertilizer in the ratio needed or met individuals who have done them successfully, eg mixing MOP,SSP, and UREA to get a better version of the NPK at your plant specific needed ratio, not for storage o, but immediate usage, and maybe with a little bit of the other special grade fertilizer like borax for optimal results? I suspect some of the fertilizers I buy in my state are totally adultrated, and some stay more than 6months - 2yrs without dissolving and with no observable plant growth, especially the TAKAGRO sold here, I have seen the same TAKAGRO brought in from a neighboring state dissolve faster and with improved performance
