commercial ugu farm during the rainy season is not a good idea because of the simple economics of supply and demand,any Tom ,dick and Harry will have ugu now for sale because of ease of production,but let it be from November to April,I doubt if you will even have enough for local marketers talkess of advertising for external buyers

Emmafly:


Thank you for the advice.
Though I had intention of selling the leaves based on promises here and there especially from the so called market. but you know, until your product is ready before you know your customers behavior. I then realized that the law of demand and supply governs market behavior and not relationship. they suddenly started changing their mind. I even decided to give them on 2 weeks credit but they are even reluctant to receive it. I can imagine how oyingbo will be flooded with vegetables by now plus the extortion in the name of registration with the union. I have decided to use it for seed production to fortify my dry season November farming if I do not get a good market for it. may God keep us till then. but anyone still interested can call my no. 08183549869.

Have you tried leaving any ugu plants for seeds to come out before now? I'm asking because the few ones i planted are over six months now, only 2 plants showed signs of pod formation and the tiny fruits usually gets dry and fall off after a few weeks, the rest have just been showing only flowers. Kindly share knowledge if you have any experience in pod production.

Also if you plan to start selling leaves from November then i don't think you can wait for your own plant to produce pods before you plant.

I've achieved more than 10fruit before but with Saira east west seed

I have Cabri Duo but I poured little on a leave it get burned, that's why I am afraid to use it.

I think maybe because I didn't dilute it, I bought it last year.

Emmafly:


I do not plan to sell leaves by November. I plan to start planting by November so that my leaves will get ready by January. then I will sell throughout the dry season. I have access to at least 2-3 acre swamp for that and I tend to utilize it very well. though it depends on accessibility to and cost of seeds at that time.

on seed formation, you need to apply fertilizer especially potassium and calcium based fertilizer if your plant exhibit such symptoms. Ugu will naturally start to produce if you leave it for that length of time without disturbing it. though, from experience, you need to have cut it for at least 3-4 times before leaving it for seed.

If you look at the nutrients chart you will agree with me that wood Ash will be beneficial to a heavy feeder like cucumbers,we have already mixed wood Ash from a nearby oil mill into the manure we will apply tomorrow on our crops and see what will happen

Good afternoon, I have used Ridmoil Gold on my cucumber farm, and I have cut some leaves infected by DM, and it affected some fruits.

I still noticed sigh of DM on some leaves, what should I do now?.

FarmTech:

.
Don't prune out too much leaves as that will reduce yield. In case of next time, apply fungicides preventively. And use different fungicides in rotation.

after today's stressful harvest

okoroemeka:
you deserve some bottles of cold Budweiser and goatmeat pepper soup,well done,but I am seeing habaneros,tatashe and other crazy looking pepper varieties,make sure you use punch insecticide weekly or worse biweekly to fight off mites, aphids,thrips and all joy killers in between.

DAVIDMOE:
the pepper seeds where locally sourced thats why it's mixed up. though I will be buying your scorpion for next year.

the price of pepper this year is heartbreaking

quantity of pepper sold ₦1,200 last year is now selling for only ₦400 �

I have decided not to apply chemical again because this pepper farm is not giving me joy
