pepper is #10,000k for 20 grams, maturity is 70-75 days.you can plant garden egg now,this is the season we are still planting a second batch nursery of Cameroon pepper and garden egg today.

Greetings.nice thread.
Pls is the Cameroon pepper open pollinated or hybrid?

it's heirloom local variety,but it's standing the test of this rainy season,our crops are fruiting now, will share pics tomorrow

okoroemeka:
If you have a good and fertile land, don't let it lie fallow,with good management ₦100k will start and maybe finish pepper project on 2 plots,if know what u are doing with good agricultural practice you can get ₦500k easily before it dies off.this is the rough estimate we used to set up a 2 plot farm,but note the cost may vary from location to location.(1) clearing 4 workers₦6,000(2) digging of holes and preparation 2 workers ₦4,000or ridges ₦8,000(3)manure/application ₦6,000,(4)seed 20gram ₦10,000,(4) fungicide/foliar/insecticide ₦10,000,(5)npk151515 one bag ₦8,000,(6)1st weeding 4 workers ₦4,800.(7)2nd weeding ₦5,000.this is what will push 2 plots of roughly 1000 pepper stands.

1. Pls what is the function of the hole to dig and what preparation are you talking about?
2. Where can I get the black nylons to transplant to make it stand alone? And how much are the bags?
You didn't mention it in your analysis.
3. Hope I can still plant now?
Thanks

the main function of hole is to retain manure /fertilizer so it will not be easily washed away by rain,also during dry season makes watering easier if u are using hose and pump.the black nylon is sold in markets,look for the size u want they have it and puncture the bottom when filled with soil,₦100-150 for 100 pieces,you can plant now if you know what you are doing.

pepper plant fruiting,we got a ripe one yesterday and it's slowly coming because of the cold rainy season,we are waiting for the weather to warm up before the next phase,the crops in the pics below was not topped or pruned,but we topped the second phase to compare yield.

Lovely...
I always look forward to your posts. Expert farmers here always motivate me. I'm going into pepper farming fully next yr.at least 10 plots of 100x100. For now I wanna do a nursery and test different species.
I will keep shadowing you all here and hopefully visit one of ur farms soon.
Pls how often do u harvest now? cuz u said it's coming in slowly.
Also have u tested d effects of fish pond waste water on pepper? Cuz I just discovered a fish pond and they just discard it,even stinks up d area.

due to the cold weather the peppers are riping slowly, peppers love heat, during dry season it's harvested every 4-5 days,that abandoned fish pond make sure there's no crocodiles in it before going close.

Lol...it's not abandoned. I will collect it whenever they drain it.i have about 8 25litre cans.
Pls how many days does it take to ripen during the rains?

Mrkellz:

it takes the same 4-5 days but the growth,vigor and movement is poor during rainy season,the perfect time to do that your 10 plots project is,you do nursery December 20-28,put in single grow bags January 15-20 in a well shaded location,by this time you must have finished preparing the land, January ending top the whole crops, February 1st week-2nd week field transplant.plant avenir 50% and efia 50%,to get a good mix of big , medium and small fruits,avenir is just too big.you will start harvesting by Easter or April and if your management is good,you will harvest till next dry season.

also don't waste your time collecting fish pond waste,let's be practical and do things that are realistic,just apply manure on your nursery bed before sowing,apply manure in holes before transplant and apply npk fertilizer every 2 weeks or more depends on soil fertility, switch to npk 151515 when fruiting,also spray foilar ferts every 2 weeks.

Thanks for the info. I also thought about starting the nursery early but it means I'll need to set up irrigation,cuz of irregular rainfall, which I can't Afford. Also I was considering some shombo, heard they have real good resistance. So far the pepper I have tested have zero disease attack,so few insects eat it too, but it's our local variety. I ordered some bell pepper seeds to see how d christmas market does well cuz that's when people mostly use it.

This is our local variety in Benin city.we use it for dry pepper. I think it's cayenne. I'm also trying giant chilli pepper, then I'll test the quality of the dried powder,its still growing.

I have free supply of poultry manure, I intend to also use npk 151515 or 121217, then manure tea and dissolved palm bunch ashes to drench the roots during production and Haifa bonus.later I'll upload pics of the palm byproduct I want to use as mulch.

The pond waste is just to reduce cost and reduce inorganic fertilizer use.

of all the peppers we have tried so far the shombo variety we got from nihort almost had no problem with disease,even though an avenir farm just inches from the shombo was devastated,the shombo not only survived but yielded for 2 yrs.Bell pepper is were you need to watch it,they don't take prisoners,very easy to catch disease,make sure you apply good GAP, also it matures faster than hot peppers,thank GOd for that .

setting up irrigation in a pepper farm can be a real hassle because of the spacing,,can use blank tapes,if u intend to use drip,but if u don't have the financial power to get a drip system,a good China water pump,lengths of hose,nearby water source and an unshakable will is enough, peppers are irrigated every other day or 3 days interval depends on soil type.

Wow... I keep hearing good things about shombo.pls what's d spacing? Cuz I have been considering using the 10plots for shombo then another 5 or more for fresh pepper. There is even way more space but I don't want to rush into problems.would just plant cucumber, watermelon, sweet potato, okra and plantain on those places.the plantain would be next to a farm. Nairaland farmers have really given me d zeal for farming.i thank you so much.

I believe for the population I'm planting, it'll be very risky to try that, considering distance from a water source and work ethic of these workers, thats how they messed up my first nursery.but when I did it myself at home I got 90%+ germination rate, especially shombo.
I'll probably transplant April. I'll probably face watermelon/peanut, okra/potato and maybe seed yam production by march. Time will tell.
By fire by force we will get there.

the best time to transplant pepper is January-march you will harvest during the rainy season when prices are at the highest

You're very right.i actually followed the market process for a little while till june-july which I was told was the peak period.

I think I found a solution.but I have to ask if you think a seedling can stay 3months in a grow bag, a biodegradable one.

Im thinking 8x10

I don't think that's possible,a seedling will mature in 55-60 days from transplant,so you see if it stays 3 months in a bag it will be root bound

okoroemeka:

The bag degrades in 3 months probably less.anyway won't use it without testing it out.

Thanks for your input.
Pls what's the spacing for shombo?

okoroemeka:

pls would it still be root bound to biodegradable bags because that's what I had in mind?

Mrkellz:

have you tried this tactics before,try out a little before going full scale,that bag looks like it will melt if watered seriously.

I intend to try it this yr. "I can't play bet9ja" with 10plots.
If it's not doable I'll find an alternative.

hello bro the chili pepper you harvest for two years did they pause production within if yes for like how many month. I've some few demon f1 I transplanted.

I think that shombo is not chili,maybe jalapenos,chilis are smaller and very spicy,but that shombo is fatter finger like and less spicy,the crop stopped production from November ,it withered and dried up so much that you can use it for firewood,if anyone told us that it's still alive I will not believe,but when the rains came march-april it regenerated and started production again.i believe that with irrigation it may not have stopped production at all.
