For spray tube, I normally use shoe gum and a piece of spray tibe to patch even large holes. Sorry for late reply. I abandoned NL for a while

Farmerakinloye6:
I don't have cucumber at moment. Irrigating time depend on the number of stands you have on field, if its 5000 stand 35minute in the morning and 35 minutes in evening should do.

REUBEN010:

Patch the holes using black tape.

Antibettings:

My ogas in the house..... Does anyone have practical experience planting cucumber on wetland (called AKURO in South West)
I have access to a large expanse of wetland that can only be utilized during DRY season, dec-march.
I'd love to learn from those who have successfully planted cucumber on such land before
*MODIFIED*

Yemighty2:




For me I use urea on the 15th day

And npk 15,15,15 after every 10days that makes it 35days.


But I would like to join the big boys this season by using mop on the 35day or 42day.

mastervick4glo:
please what is fertilization for cucumber

REUBEN010:

1. Those fruits lying on the ground are more susceptible to rot because of constant contact with wet/cold soil. In addition to a good fungicide treatment, the application of calcium (foliar, top dressing, or fertigation) will also go a long way in hardening the flesh and endoderm of the fruits.

2. I use double rows per bed to maximize space, shade the beds (reduce soil evaporation during dry seasons and control weeds), and maximize fertilization. Although it requires more intensive pest and disease management, the result is justified.

omoniyisam:

My feeding program is quite different o...
By Monday I will be applying MOP which is a potassium based fertilizer and SSP which is for phosphorus.
Other fertilizer l plan using later is calcium and magnesium sulfate....
Henceforth, I will keep fertilizing on weekly basis.
I've already applied manure twice.

Proper feeding always prevent fruit abortions

omoniyisam:

Only manure for now

REUBEN010:

Yes. Saw a few. The moisture from the rains is too much hence the few rot.
How prevalent is yours?

REUBEN010:

Thanks.

omoniyisam:


As at Tuesday, two weeks old
