A Porsche is better than 5 Toyotas.. lol..talking about quality..

That's true but how many farmers know this? They all go for one popular brand which is not even half the production/quality of Mydas. A well raised mydas will give more than 35 fruits per plant but they won't agree. I once posted I got above 40 fruits per plant but they thought I was lying. Maybe you will tell them your current experience with Mydas.
They only close alternatives I see are Darina f1 and other parthenocarpic variety.

If mydas enters many markets, all other cucumbers must wait for it to sell out. Rijk Zwaan is not an ordinary company.

Their pepper seed mawenzili is compared to super habanero but I don't have the raw data but I still believe mawenzili will beat it hands down as someone said he got about 6kg per plant which I even consider mild. A well fed mawenzili could take up to a year of harvest because it's adapted for long production cycle.

A 4000 plant mawenzili farm was harvesting 1,000kg of fruit weekly. You can imagine if you harvest like that for 8 months!

A redjet Rz f1 farm of about 380 plants was harvesting almost 180kg of pepper weekly. The seed companies I consider close alternatives are Bayer and Syngenta.

opes:
There is a reason why mydas is only 100 seeds per pack..lol..

It's because it's likely pricy but quality. There is a 500/1000 seeds pack

oladipuposadeeq:
no sir but let me confirm from my colleagues because I only know hth chlorine, chlorine stones and liquid chlorine.

Ok

oladipuposadeeq:
Citric acid anhydrous

Did you sell chlorine dioxide ?

Dakar f1 cucumber at 4 weeks +

If you use the right nutrition, anything below 20 fruits per plant is not accepted.

Good morning Boss, sorry to deviate from topic...pls could you recommend a market for seed yams around Benue or Niger state around December/January and how much is a 911 coach from the middle belt to the south south

Paiko international Yam Market, very close to Minna, Niger State.
Pricing for yam is never fixed as it depends on size and market price. You can buy a trailer load of yams easily here.

Kehfie:
Thanks Mr..Emma..what make of digital scale do you use

Kitchen scale 5kg maximum

opes:
Thanks for the reply, earnestly waiting for it. I have complete fertilizer (15-15-15). What is the mixing rate with Haifa potassium nitrate (13-0-46). I will bury them on the soil.. how many part of npk with KNO3 and at what rate (g) at 5th and 7th week.?
Thanks always..

Is the Haifa potassium nitrate foliar based?
If it's granular, you can give 15g per plant using below formula every 2 weeks into soil. Don't mix in water. If fertigating, it's a different ball game.

10g of 15-15-15
5g of potassium nitrate

opes:
Fruiting already, could only get foliar MOP, didn't buy though but can it be option if the granular not available at my location? Alternative is potassium Nitrate which i can get and use as dressing? Thanks

Potassium nitrate or poly4 vegetable is another option

opes:
Nursed the seeds today..

For what variety of seed?

opes:
He measures with the calibrated container. But I should think 1ml is equal 1g or equivalent

Have you started your farm?

FarmTech:
.
For NPK fertilizer I normally use 20:10:10. First application is 1 weeks after sowing @ 15ml per plant. Second application is day 28 after sowing (30ml per plant) and the third is 46 after sowing (50ml per plant).

ml or g?

opes:
Thanks for the response on the other thread. Based on previous discussions, hope am good to go with this fertilisation schedule, variety is mydas (cucumber)

Week 1
NPK (15-15-15) = 5g

Week 3
NPK (15-15-15) = 10g

Week 4
Fruit Master foliar (15-5-30 +2MgO+TE)

Week 5
(2 parts NPK 15-15-15 and 1 part MOP) = 20g

Week 6
Fruit master foliar = 100g/15L

Week 7
(2 parts NPK 15-15-15 and 1 part MOP) = 30g

Week 8
Fruit master foliar

Week 9
(2 parts NPK 15-15-15 and 1 part MOP) = 30g

It's ok but you will still need magnesium sulpahte

opes:
This is between 20g and 30g NPK. Can i use this quantity at week 5 and 7? Though I plan to use foliar fertilizer that is more of potassium at week 4 and 6. Week 1 and 3 will be NPK 5g and 10g.

Foliar is never enough. That's why people get low yields in vegetable farming.

You can use 20g npk every 10-14 days but npk straight is not good for any fruiting vegetable outside okra.

Get an extra potassium like mop or.potassium nitrate and with an npk 20 10 10,. You can use the formula below to mix for cucumbers that's flowering and fruiting.

Attached is a picture of what the plant needs at this stage though adding an SSP will be perfect.

opes:
Thanks for helping out. Lastly, can Mydaz stay long/days after harvest like greengo before getting spoilt?

On the shelve, I have kept more than 10 days

opes:
I have 15-15-15, MOP, SSP. I also have foliar fertiliser that contains 15-5-30 (I usually use this at fruiting)

You may not need SSP since your npk is already equal. You can spray foliar at 4th week. You need to add calcium if you not.using SSP to your plants too.

Mydaz needs more potassium as the fruits are plenty and large

Ist/3rd week
Ratio 1 1 1 (only use npk 15 15 15)
5g/10g

5th/7th/9th week
Ratio 1 1 3 or 1 2 3

For 1 1 3
Fertilizer (npk 15 15 15 2part : mop 1 part)
20g/30g/30g

If using 1 2 3
Fertilizer (npk 15 15 15 2 part: SSP 1 part: mop 1 part) for 1 2 3
30g/40g/40g

opes:
Hope this is applicable;

5g at a week old,
10g at 3 weeks
20g after 3 weeks

To be applied from a mixture of fertilisers from;

23g SSP
23g MOP
122g 15-15-15..

Am planting next week, want to get everything right. Thanks always

Which fertilizer do you have?

Fertilizer ratio
1st week 2 1 1
3rd week 1 1 1
5th week 1 1 2

opes:
You have planted mydaz F1 before. Any difference in its production (regarding pest control, feeding/fertilisation) compared with greengo? Thanks

It uses more fertilizer and produces far more fruits and doesn't need pollination.
Pest control is same across all cucumbers.

opes:
More thanks for prompt reply. So i can mix based on the formular doing;

100g SSP
100g (15-15-15)
50g MOP

And follow the application rate and date above and placed/buried 7cm away from the plant (cucumber). Lastly, the days should be counted after sowing, transplating or germination?

That's the equivalent
23g ssp
23g mop
122g 15-15-15

Days are counted after transplanting.

opes:
Thanks for this. For cucumber with this formular, what is the quantity to be applied per hole/plant and at what stage/age?.
i usually use 15-15-15 and later change to 15-5-30 commercial fertilizers at fruiting.

5g at a week old,
10g at 3 weeks
20g after 3 weeks

For Beans:
There was poor harvest this year as a result of pest infestation and late rainfall which affected the outlook of the seeds.

Ginger also experienced outbreak reason why there was low yield.

We have issues of Fulani Herdman,they attack without warning this has Force some people out of farming craft.

Finally,the demand is higher than the supply,I don't know maybe our population is exploding.
People keep on buying goods excessively regardless of how expensive they're.
To get some food stuffs now is WORK,I won't mention those foods though but I'm optimistic God will prevail this Year.
It's going to be the worst year ever in terms of food inflation.

Amazing Morning To You Sir

Its simply exportation of food items due to devaluation of the naira
