Hmm maybe. A few stands from different part of the farm just droop their leaves and start dying off.
It mostly affected the smaller ones.

I mixed NPK and urea and applied at exactly 5cm I think to all.

But now that the plants are taller, l haven't seen any more new droops.

What do you think?

Urea is the culprit. I only apply urea through fertigation. My fear of urea no be small.

sure you can spray fungicide. You can as well attach picture for us to see maybe it Downy mildew or it has to do with water or nutrient.

I sold 7.5k-7k this morning...

Nothing is wrong with your cuke bro.
Just spray the surrounding with a lil conc insecticide, make sure it does touch your seedlings

Alright

Hello everyone,I'm planning to plant cucumber after my tomato is done this month,during my cucumber market survey,I realized the dark green cucumber isn't really the favourite in my area..they prefer the lighter ones...

From what I've learnt from this thread,I can see greengo is the king here,but unfortunately it's dark green,pls I would like to know what other variety is a good as greengo but not dark green..

Below is a picture of the variety most sellers have

Please any farmer here in Awka axis? Kindly indicate. Thanks

Omonaijani:

Ota Ogun state.

mcyemite:

Ota Ogun state.

Yes, from your location in Ota, down to the main markets in Lagos, CU99 (now African giant) sells more than other varieties, the only thing is the dark green cucs sell at higher prices of like N1500 or N2000, but the fact that the African giant variety sells more than them means it's the most chosen in these axis.
Another thing you should know is that African Giant compensates for the short fall in price by producing more fruits for you, also a bag is filled up with fewer number of cucumbers because of it's bigger size compared to the dark green types with the exception of Deawy by eastwest.

mcyemite:

Ota Ogun state.

please confirm very well before you plant.
am in Ilaro, Ogun State and the only thing they want is Deep green, most south west state accept deep green compare to others.
but if you are sure of the colour you can go for saira f1 very strong cucumber but not deep green.

Farmtech this guy Orwasen has begins his spamming this year again. Pls do something to his moniker!
