AgricultureRe: How To Keep Squirrel Off Vegetable Garden.. by aquila3: 11:47pm On Mar 18, 2018
Onijagidijagan:
Don't try poisoning them it will not work reason is that they will perceive d offensive odour and will not eat it.

I faced d same problem three weeks ago, when the squirrels were digging and eating my germinating corn seeds.

I will give you five clues that has worked for me in the past.
just make sure you use three out of the five correctly it will work.

1.I bought odourless poison, mixed it with corn and vegetable oil (high concentration) and planted it.

Results:

They came and dug d geminating poisoned corn, ate it and die.

I replanted my corn again with great success. (it was untouched)

2.You need to scare the squirrels

You need to dress small trees in your garden like human (human decoy), do it in such a way that the wind would be blowing it here and there and up and down.

it will scare d hell out of them to dat extent u won't see them on your farm again.

3.If you have any big dogs like Boerbel, Rottweiler, etc take their urine and sprinkle it on d edges of d farm. it will send them a message that a predator is near by and they will run on perceiving d odour.


4.The Last and the most important one, you need to unweed your garden and remove all d necessary hideouts for squirrels.

5.When next you want to replant your seeds, do not leave a planting mark on the soil of your garden. there is a way thet plant corn without digging d ground and the top soil's surface will appear untouched but my English is too poor to express it.

Don't forget to replant d damaged plants.

Lalasticlala.
pls could u tell me name of the odourless poison or show the picture, thanks in anticipation for your quick reply.

I think he's talking about parasitic drain of the battery power. Note the alternator keeps the battery charged after a drive. But it drains overnight! He needs a technician who can trace the leak.

AgricultureRe: New Harvest (sesame Seed And Soya Beans) From Nasarawa State by aquila3: 2:44pm On Dec 16, 2017
jopedom:
Please. I am based in the South West Ekiti State to be precise and I am interested in soya bean farming, I want to ask, is soyabean farming feasible in Ekiti and if yes when is the appropriate time for planting?. Thank you.
very feasible, is usually planted in july. The problem with we ekiti farmer is our lack of exposure we re streamlined to certain crops unfortunately for ur most of these indigenous crops we re used to doesnt command good premium.i'm happy to tell u that sesame seed grow well on our soil here also by the end of this year i wl start harvest my beans.

AgricultureRe: Open Field Tomato Planting In South-West by aquila3: 7:35pm On Nov 20, 2017
fluentinfor:
Will mention readily available ones.
Systemic Fungicide: Carbendazim, Metalaxyl, and I think Dichlorophen is too.

Contact: Mancozeb, Copper based insecticide, Calcium bicarbonate, Potassium bicarbonate etc. There is a popular solution called Bordeaux.

From what I have seen, contact seems more advisable if you can really spray it to coat your leaves. They say prevention is better than cure. Systemic cures, it does not prevent. It is why many brands combine both contact and systemic in their products - copper I oxide + Metalaxyl.

During dry season, if you can spray mancozeb, bordeaux mixture, or any copper based fungicide, you will get it right. Contact is protective. Spray before infection. Spray spray spray. And i spray systemic + contact during vegetative period. As soon as I start harvesting, I minimize everything drastically. This is when you expect the immune system of your plant to work for you. You can help with potassium bicarbonate.

During rainy season better choose a fungicide with very high % of systemic. Seriously, I cannot find that around yet. Maybe Carbendazim is the best choice for now.

Here is my style. I rotate spraying copper, bordeaux, copper mixtures, and systemic during vegetative. During flowering I move towards Mancozeb and any other contact type, and use less systemic. It takes time for systemic to get washed away from plants. As soon as it is like 2 weeks to my first harvest, I switch completely to acceptable organic fungicide: Sodium Bicarnonate and Potassium BiCarbonate.

If you follow these steps, you will never get it wrong and if your fruits are tested, they may take them for organic fruits.

Hybrid:
I do not make recommendation because I do not want to promote any of them. What you should do is: Make sure the variety can tolerate Bacteria wilt, TYLCV, and any other wilt. To get ones tolerant to blight is hard.

Since you asked me for recommendations:

East West International:
Padma for rainy season; platinum for dry season. So the company says. I cannot verify them since East West is not sincere and open about information of their seeds. Petsonally, i have not tried any of them but I think padma makes more sense since it fetches more money during rainy season..

Technisem:
Cobra seems to be their best for now. Followed by Panther. I have cultivated cobra and I can tell you that it is ok. Many farmers say cobra is for rainy seadon but I disagree. It is all year round as long as one can fight blight and some other wilt problems. Very strong one. Technisem got it right with this one. For me, i will choose this over any East West. It is even cheaper.

Continental:
Commando and Ranger come to my mind. For greenhouse, Maxim is nice.

Finally, I am not cultivating any of these brands for my next tomato. I am doing something special this time. I hope to create a thread fof this soon. Pray for me to get it right and I will share my experience. Right now, we are just recruiting farm hands for land preparation.

I can shoot you some pdf files of these brands. I won't want to post them so I do not violate any of their regulations. With this solid info, you can make professional decision and choose wisely.
