Limited quantity of the Cameroon pepper seed is available,if it finishes will take time to mount another James bond like mission to Cameroon to get another batch,this people hold on to the seeds and don't like selling to outsiders,to maintain it unique Ness but we will break Thatcher cartel,come hell,come highwater

the pepper been a heirloom variety can be replanted using saved seeds if you can preserve it very well,it doesn't have variety just shombo,I can't remember the cost,but it's not costly around ₦400-500 for 5-10 grams

fresh batch of green garden egg and Cameroon pepper seed is available from across the border in Cameroon,after we finish this batch we will definitely stop trying to get this things,the heat and bullets flying on the border is simply to great a risk to take, previous escapeds are worthy of a James bond movie but this last one is more like a Rambo film.whatapp 08119942049 for more info

limited quantities still available,this is now time for pepper and garden egg nursery,so commercial harvest will start by Easter next year, Stop blaming buhari,MR TRY DOES MANY THINGS.

it's pepper without any doubt,for garden egg you will battle red spider mite, nematodes and if rain stops no more production due to fruit borer invasion

red is the color of the ripe variety,it turns brown when you blanched it in hot boiling water for drying.

Hello Okoro. When u blanch any pepper in water and dry, it will retain its color. Is this cameroun pepper different?

first batch we transplanted February 19 are flowering already and one leg is already across the finish line,buhari or not we don't care money must come.pics will come tomorrow of that batch.

Pls I need this info because I'm interested in selling dried pepper. People have always associated Cameroon pepper with any pepper with dark color.

from careful observation we found out that all habaneros and scotch bonnet varieties both opv,avenir hybrids or any hybrid and Cameron pepper always turn a brown color when blanched and dried,we have successfully dried and prepared a batch of avenir that even the market women cannot tell the difference between original Cameron pepper,but we're I am skeptical is chili peppers because they always retain their red colour even dried,that makes me to wonder if they are only sun dried or is it the blanching the changes the colour to brown,these are interesting questions that need answers,I think it's time to put on our thinking caps and conduct further experiments.

Thanks a lot. I have blanched some nsukka peppers and dry them. They maintain their color. May be it has to do with chemical composition.

maybe,or soil pH,but what I know is that 80% of dried ground pepper in the market today are not Cameroon pepper,but ordinary habaneros blanched,dried and crushed.

haba,@farmtech this your question has expired now,we transplanted February 19 and irrigated it till flowering and fruiting now March 11,also rains are coming and you are still asking how we are planning to irrigate,we have already won the battle,my workers uses flexible hose connected to a borehole to water them every 2 days.they can water 1000 crops in 45 mins.note the hole system used, it contains and reserves more water

like the farm above will start production by April month end and it will continue till rainy season will stop by October end,then inevitably due to no more rain fall fruit borer attacks will increase in such a way that it will be impractical to spray insecticides,best thing is to give up and step aside and prepare for next season,but there some farmers that have ways to keep on harvesting during the dry season,how they manage to keep insects at Bay is a mystery.

Thanks. I strongly believe that all stubborn pests and diseases can be effectively controlled by spraying under the leaves.

my brother when rain reduces or stops from October/November there is no type of pesticide that can rid an eggplant farm from fruitborer (oti) invasions,there mode of operations is simple they will just land on a developing fruit bore a tiny hole inside and lay egg and then fly off, all your crops will be healthy greenish and full of fruit,but if you harvest 70% of the fruits will have maggot like larvae inside,we have tried every thing possible believe me,but rainfall is the only check for those pestz.

I'll try it and see what happens. Using insecticides like chlorfenapyr, emamectin benzoate and imidacloprid may work. Which insecticides did u guys tried?

you also have to make sure of what you spray on a fruit that is harvested and eaten raw every 4 days, Even before you are aware of them the whole farm is totally infected,there's a reason a bag can go as high as #12-14,000k a bag, during dry season,70-80% of eggplant farms are shut down by that nuisance,if a farmer is getting 10 bags every 4 days@₦5k per bag do you think he fold his hands and watch such money go away,he will try everything under the sun to chase the pest away,but unfortunately nature is the one factor that eradicates the pest 100%
