BIG SUN VIRIETY I MEAN SIR

Edmagr:
@everyone, do anyone have an idea on how to get/make cheap and reusable containers for pepper nursery? am thinking of using big bottle water containers or buying the black plastic plant bags. But in all am looking for something i can make in house (DIY) and reusable..any ideas?

Adeoye007:
Please o , is 100k enough to cultivate 3 plot of habanero pepper? And also is basal application of of Organic manure good for vegetable.

okoroemeka:
I will give you a cost estimate of what it will cost us to do 2000+ habanero pepper on 3 plots (1)seed 25 grams₦15,000,(2) clearing of land ₦10,000,(3) ridging 3 plots ₦15,000,(4) fungicide/fertilizer/insecticide ₦30,000.(5)labour transplant /manure application ₦6000,this is all I can remember now if things go according to plan,IF !!!

When I was reading online this evening I came across this article .......................

"The idea behind companion cropping is to create a mutually beneficial ecosystem and functionally diverse plant community to increase individual plant production," he said. "When we have different crops that fill different functional niches, we find diverse planting can produce more overall and decrease input costs."

The study included intercropping peanuts, watermelon, okra, cowpea and hot peppers.

Peanuts and cowpeas are legumes, which fix nitrogen from the air and supply it as nitrates to companion plants, Masabni said. Watermelons were chosen as a smother crop to suppress weeds and provide soil shading to conserve water moisture. Okra was chosen for its tall growth form and as a potential pollinator attractor due to its large showy flowers. Hot peppers were chosen as a potential pest barrier.

Franco utilized five treatments to test the intercropping system within the same rows, including a row of peanuts and watermelons; peanuts, watermelons and okra; peanuts, watermelon, okra and cowpeas; a row of all five plant species; and a strip intercropping system of peanuts and watermelons consisting of alternating single rows.
We found that three to four species consistently yielded higher per-unit land area compared to crops grown alone," Franco said. "We reduced inputs like fertilizers and herbicides. We actually used minimal fertilizer and no herbicides, and the only major input we utilized was irrigation. So we enhanced resource use efficiency by planting the crops together."

Masabni said intercropping is an ideal method for small-acreage growers with limited land space.

"The results are encouraging for these growers because we proved you can get better yields if you choose the right crop combinations of nitrogen fixing legumes, tall plants and smother crops," he said. "It makes me wonder how they knew to do this, but Native Americans knew exactly what they were doing, and we've proved the concept works."
