Chidiebubeoji:. About 1.5 bags. I use little for young plants Even when the leaves are diseased, so long as you fertilize well, spray and water u'll still harvest enof. They can try. |

FarmTech: Exactly sir. Thank you. |

Nezzjnr: please do we apply it round the plant or drop it one side 5cm away from the plant ? |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by mattbass(m): 9:40pm On Jul 18, 2023 |
Very interesting, sir have you tried Starke Ayres hybrid seed of cucumber (Ashley). 40-45 days you have harvested your products and very viable. It comes in 100g and 200g will be enough for an hectare of land sir. We also deal on tomato UC, Rio, Okro, Onion, Watermelon etc You can contact me on 2347034813439

kirn:One side 5cm away from the plant. Applying round it might lead to Plant burn because of the high concentration of the fertiliser 1 Like |

Chidiebubeoji: Please sir, can 100k run one plot of cucumber ? If possible, pls can you break it down for me how ? I mean, how to manage it - what and what to buy. I am in Ogun state. I 'v no pump machine, though the land is close to a river and I am ready to wet manually. All masters in the house help please |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Farouq94(m): 8:58pm On Jul 20, 2023 |
Experienced farmers in the house, is it advisable to have cucumbers of different ages in the same field? For example, can I divide a plot of land into four and plant every two weeks? I have noticed fungal diseases appear much later in the life cycle of cucumbers, can the older cucumbers infect the younger ones? Thank you! cc farmerakinloye6 farmtech flowmama |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by flowmama: 10:27pm On Jul 20, 2023 |
Farouq94: Not advisable sir. You'll be spraying without ceasing. Best is to plant all at once on the whole plot. Same applicable to tomatoes, only pepper being perennial can withstand that. All the best sir. |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Farouq94(m): 10:32pm On Jul 20, 2023 |
flowmama: That was my fear too. Thank you very much!!! |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Chidiebubeoji: 2:10am On Jul 22, 2023 |
kirn: Ok sir. If you're using my kind of spacing, half a plot can take you close to 2k stands. You can do 1.5k stands. So if you're watering manually, I suggest you run half of the plot. If this is managed well, it will give you Satisfying results. About the 100k stuff. If it's in my area, 100k should be enough for me to do the half plot (with manual irrigation oh). Cost of agro inputs differ from State to State. I don't know of Ogun. The following are the basic materials you'll need; I'll assume it's my project and put estimated prices 1. Good hybrid seeds ( consult your market to know which one is most respected) 50g- 14k 2. Enough manure. 10k+ 3. At least 1 bag of 50kg NPK 15 15 15 20k+ 4. Zforce 1kg, or any good contact fungicide 5k 5. Cabrio duo or any good systemic fungicide 9k 6. Insecticide 250ml 3k 7. Nematicide ( if your are using the land for the first time) 3.5k 8. Urea about 2 paints 5k 9. Staking rope. (poly twine). 1 bag 14k 10. Caterpillar force insecticide (for fruit quality) 100g - 3k Total - roughly 86.5k 11. And every other inputs you find necessary to add e.g Foliar fertilizers, other granule fertilizers... Etc Note: additional cost, if you're buying sticks or bamboo for staking. Additional cost, if you're employing labourers. |

Please how many kg do you fertigate for urea flowmama: |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by kirn(m): 7:16am On Jul 22, 2023 |
Thanks @ Chidiebubeoji. Ogun and Lagos endorse the same type of cucumber(dark green). So I will be going for greengo. Please do you know somebody who av' it instock presently ? Thanks |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by flowmama: 9:42am On Jul 22, 2023 |
TosinOnofua: I only give them equivalent of 2gram per plant when plants are still young before 18 days max... After that the nitrogen they need they will get from either NPK or Potassium Nitrate... Except you know how to mix urea with other high Potassium and Phosphorus fertilizer, don't apply urea after 20days max cos too much Nitrogen will make flowers abort. All the best sir |

Chidiebubeoji: What's the name of nematicides you're using |

kirn: You're welcome. Find a way to contact Cedagro via their website 'cedagro.com' Then click on the WhatsApp icon to chat them up. I think they sell around that area. But if she doesn't have, then you've got tons of sellers on jiji, contact a trusted seller. |

Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by mattbass(m): 10:43am On Jul 23, 2023 |
kirn:Greengo is from East West seed. You can contact their sales rep |

Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by opes: 12:20pm On Jul 23, 2023 |
FarmTech: Sir, the manure must be very dry and the application must be at what distance from the plant? Any effect of this weekly manure application on bi-weekly usage of NPK? Thanks |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by FarmTech(m): 8:41pm On Jul 23, 2023 |
Yemighty2:. If this is your first time pls start small. I will soon write a step by step guide that anyone can follow easily. |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by FarmTech(m): 8:57pm On Jul 23, 2023 |
opes:. My manure is usu mixed with sawdust. Wet or dry doesn't matter. I apply 5-7cm away from the plants. During harvest I apply manure or npk weekly. Sometimes both. |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Chidiebubeoji: 9:42pm On Jul 23, 2023 |
Yemighty2:You're on track bro. I also agree with FarmTech's advice. |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Yemighty2(m): 12:05am On Jul 24, 2023 |
FarmTech: Thanks boss, I am currently using drip for irrigation and this is not my first time I just want to make sure I get 50 bags this time around that's y I need advice and more clarification. 1 Like |

mattbass: True. I have their econeem and Imiforce too. Wow, you worked there... That's nice. Lucky me ! I hope you don't mind answering some Questions sir. While I am uprooting my old cucumber plants, I'm spotting these on the roots. They look like fresh nematode attack. So to eliminate or control them, Is it effective to spray this neem extract on the soil ? Econeem is fungicidal, insecticidal and nematicidal. 2 Likes

Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by FarmTech(m): 9:19am On Jul 24, 2023 |
Yemighty2:. Ok. But just know that manure is very important. Some also recommended MOP. I will try it someday. |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by mattbass(m): 7:06pm On Jul 24, 2023 |
Chidiebubeoji: It will be in the soil cause it will penetrate and come in contact with the nematodes. 1 Like |
