Adamma91:It appears almost all the weeds are grasses. Herbicides that can kill those grasses without affecting your ugu leaf (and anything broadleaf) may help in cutting down cost. 2 Likes |

OluchiDelly:This maybe risky killing grasses and leaving broad leaf has not been fully proven to have a very good herbicide best option is mulching or hand weeding , cucumber farmers can attest to that Adamma91: |

Adamma91:Honestly speaking, this thread is God sent, I just aquired 2 plots of land this January somewhere in Ughelli, Delta State and I am currently planning to use one for yam and the other plot for ugu. I have a little idea of yam cultivation, but I honestly know zilt about ugu. So please I'll be most grateful to be thoroughly tutored on this. |

CzarChris: Is your proposed ugu farm for personal consumption or commercial? |
Re: Starting My Ugu Farming With My Friend And Mentor by Adamma91(f): 8:00pm On Mar 10, 2020 |
noeloge82:thank you sir, so it is not advisable. |
Re: Starting My Ugu Farming With My Friend And Mentor by Adamma91(f): 8:02pm On Mar 10, 2020 |
CzarChris:am glad you got value but I will advise you to look for any ugu farmer around you to put you through |

noeloge82:I don't give what I have not tested. I used it on my both tomato and pepper farm without any negative effect. Instructions on labels is vital. 1 Like 1 Share |

tonee1:commercial of course. I definitely can't plant ugu on a 100x50 plot of land for personal consumption. 1 Like |

Adamma91:For me its not advisable and like he said he has tried it , if u have to try it , it will be best to try on a very very small portion and check out d reaction after 10 days of trial just to be on a safer side 1 Like |

noeloge82:I've heard testimonies of others who have used these selective herbicides for grass.. it only kills grass and not effective on broad leaves.. |
Re: Starting My Ugu Farming With My Friend And Mentor by noeloge82(m): 9:40pm On Mar 10, 2020 |
Psalmy2cute: You maybe right am only calling for caution cos most selective herbicides I seen or used works well with particular plants like maize , rice so if one needs to try this caution is not a bad idea [sub][/sub] 1 Like |

Psalmy2cute: Many a times when we make blunders, and the result is not palatable, we shift the blames to the products. Let me site myself as an example. I once applied insecticide, like the 1st 3 lines of my cucumber gone while other lines are OK. I sat and began to reason. Later i realized someone used the sprayer to apply paraquat herbicide. Tho I rinse it b4 using it but there was almost half liitre of the herbicide hanging in the compressor chamber which ordinary rinsing cannot remove except you flush it out with enough clean water. Another instance, same quantity of insecticide I normally used for knapsack sprayer, I erroneously (with the mindset that i was holding 16L sprayer)poured same into my 2L hand sprayer. The result...all my nursery plants got burnt. Another one. I broadcast 1 paint rubber of ewdu seed. As a first timer, I didn't know they used to per boil it. The thing refused to grow. The following year, when the land was turned for planting a different crop, all of them started germinating as weed. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Adamma91: I commend your great efforts. Its a nice venture. How is your fertilizing routine like and have you encountered any signs of disease? Also whats the spray diameter of the sprinkler? |
Re: Starting My Ugu Farming With My Friend And Mentor by Emmafly(m): 5:43pm On Mar 11, 2020 |
Adamma91: Hi Adaeze, Can you please find out the price of uGu seed paint bucket from your supplier and the cost of transporting it to Lagos. |
Re: Starting My Ugu Farming With My Friend And Mentor by anjowaka510(m): 1:27pm On Mar 13, 2020 |
noeloge82:My only fear is the toxic effect of the synthetic chemicals. They are always persistent with long half life don't forget the leaves can take it for long and when consumed it will actually have adverse redidual effect on consumers,I think u better weed manually, selective chemicals can be so good when applied in maize farm,pepper and other plants,but on vegies I think it is not ideal because we consume the leave that pick up the chemicals. 5 Likes |

Emmafly:, OK, I will call her, when do you need it. |
Re: Starting My Ugu Farming With My Friend And Mentor by Adamma91(f): 8:12pm On Mar 13, 2020 |
Mrkellz:, I have not really checked the diameter it can cover, it does not sprinkle far, as you can see I am looking for better sprinkler, I won't advise you to buy this type. It takes the wholr day to irrigate just three plots. |

Adamma91: Dear Adamma, I will need it by first week of May. How are your plants doing. Hope the Ugu variety is the broad leaf type. Also can you help me confirm the current price of the 20L Bucket from the seller. |
Re: Starting My Ugu Farming With My Friend And Mentor by Adamma91(f): 9:23pm On Mar 24, 2020 |
Emmafly:ugu price had already gone up oo, it was 6500 last week, by May it will be more than that, for the ugu, it is bold type. She measures in 4lt bucket. |

Adamma91: Hi Ada. I like to know the cost of a paint bucket of Ugwu seeds at the moment. You mentioned 4000 Maura per paint bucket. I wanted to verify if this is still intact |
