Rahsholah:
only if you can source well decomposed poultry manure and apply, also try and get agrovert phosphorus and spray 100g per knapsack twice a week, and lastly potassium nitrate at 150g per knapsack every five days for 2weeks at first then 300g per knapsack weekly.

Those figures are extremely high

HeavenlyBang:
There are li-ion batteries of that size on Jumia. I bought one to use with my rechargeable fan earlier this year for under 20k.

I need it for a knapsack battery sprayer. Hope the lion battery is working well.

Where can I get a 12v 8A lithium battery and what's the expected price.

OK Sir, please can you suggest any petrol engine that can cover that distance for irrigation. Thank you.

A 5.5hp or 7.5hp will be more than enough. I have used one before over a 130m length and it irrigated a one acre farm efficiently.

saysoo:
It has strong torque and consumes less fuel. The farm distance from water source is about 400 meters.
Please any suggestion?

I don't see any difference from petrol versions except you want to go solar which might not be safe in many areas.

Profs in the house. Where can I buy an irrigation water pump diesel, possibly 6hp machine.

Why diesel

The local nsukka variety is the hot pepper that has the highest tolerance against leaf curl virus in all the peppers we have tried .we planted 1000 nsukka pepper on same land that another hybrid pepper variety was infected 100% last year we didn't harvest a single bag from 2500 crops but the 1000 nsukka pepper with less than 5% infection rate has yield 40 bags from June till now at #60k per bag that is more than #2m from 2 plots of land.if you like plant anything if it is not that nsukka variety I am not interested.there is a reason nsukka farmers plant it year after year.does it mean they don't have money for super habanero?NO.they plant it for their ability to survive in the most hostile and disease pressure areas

That's true because most of this hybrids have a lot of issues with leaf curl but have very high productivity if you can take care of them.

somtovictor111:
Super habanero but it's very costly @116k for 1000 seeds

It is not resistant but tolerant. All habanero are susceptible to leaf curl. The only difference between them is the tolerance level.

Ayemileto:
It's actually veggie force I used, not star force.

I will try star force and see how it goes.

It's same outcome

Ayemileto:
Star Force.

For Pepper, Post Emergence.

Star force controls only grass.

Ayemileto:
It didn't work for me oo.

For Peppers. The weeds just dey grow more beautiful.

Which one did you use?

Can plastic mulch be used without drip irrigation?

Not possible

noobody:
I was able to share 5 times last month,afterwards I was not allowed,thinking it has been reduced to 5 times,
Now it's a new month,I still can't share,
Anyone experiencing this?

It depends on the data plan. Smart data owners cannot share data

Thanks a lot 🙏🏿

How far your peppers?

Jaywrld:
Ok pls i have a question it is said that rz hybrid tomatoes have a shelf life of upto 21 days when properly handled.
How true is that
Any one can contribute pls

If your fruits have the adequate calcium, it will stay that long. If the plants are given about 10g per plant per month, it's possible.

Jaywrld:
You mean super habanero,avenir f1 and the likes

Yes

Jaywrld:
Also I want to ask if it's profitable to farm tomato in dry season (November to February)or it will better to farm something else im thinking of onions

The best crop to grow in Nigeria all year is the habanero aromatic pepper that's sold in kg.
Nothing beats them in weekly revenue.
Instead of onions, you grow garlic since it's same management but garlic is more expensive for the seedlings.

FarmTech:
The little I planted are all showing signs of mosaic. What a pity. Pls which one is resistant to those viral issues?

Some are more tolerant but not wholly resistant. Super habanero, mawenzili can tolerate mosaic to a level but OPV varieties like antillais from technisem doesn't have issues with mosaic and can produce for more than a year .

Thanks. I finally bought piquante

Piquante red/yellow has low resistance to mosaic disease. That plant na ajebo plant. Guide it jealously.
It's a good plant with good production but susceptible to sucking insects viral issues.

Jaywrld:
Pls 🙏 where can I get ansal f1 seeds in Ogun state

Everything propagule has it. Call 07043202459

Jaywrld:
I have the same thought too
Grafting is not really ideal. If you search the internet the best way to avoid BW is planting resistant varieties
I haven't tried grafting though but I don't think it would be worth it
99% success rate that's questionable
If varieties like Rambo f1 can yield 2kg per plant then it's okay with the strong resistance to bacterial wilt it possesses

There are other varieties with high yield and bw resistance like Ansal f1. You can try that variety too.

I know someone who sells grafted Jarrah, Gamhar, Abale Rz seedlings.

Jaywrld:
Pls 🙏 just tell me how I can handle the bacterial wilt disease in gamhar rz
I transplanted them last week and ive been checking for signs of wilting there have been none so far

Pls 🙏 enlighten me on the managerial practices it woild be nice to learn from someone like you considering you farm the same cultivar in the same region as me

I need to know how to manage my crops come the bacterial wilt, so as to not lose my investment

What's your plant population?

Rahsholah:
What of kimono F1? like how many fruits can one stand have?

Depends on the management of the crop. Almost all parthenocarpic variety are capable of over 25 fruits per plant if managed well. Management includes timely staking of nets, good nutrition, timely sprays and avoiding weeds in the farm.

Hello OP. Please I would like to try out the super habanero f2. Seeds though I haven't planted the F1 before. But would love to try out the f2 seeds due to financial constraints..I would be glad if you can refer me to any farmer you know that is harvesting their F1 super habanero. So I can buy some fruits for seeds extraction. Thanks boss

Not advisable. You can try other affordable variety like the piquante red f1 from east west seed or even the Caribbean hot red pepper.
