patwilly:
How many bags of cucumber can be harvested from 50 plots of land with good yield?

.
.
Pls start small first and grow. Cucumber have short shelf life. You may not be able to sell off what comes from 50 plots. Plus it os labor-intensive

Zocalite:
1000 is too much joor

.
Settling dispute isn't easy

emmaachile2:
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 a lot 🙏🏿

franvincoop:
Your proposal is good but not good enough.
It's very very easy for a scammer wey scam na im 24hr job to provide all this information and still carry money waka.
If you like add ID card and passport, it's still easy.
Based on the level of Tinubulation, I go Sabongari now with 20k, and obtain all you required for from 20 different people.

Oga, if you are serious to minimise scam, look towards the creation of an escrow, same like Paypal which will hold the buyers money until delivery, confirmation of quality and quantity is done by the Buyer before funds are released to Seller.
This way, you will eliminate 100% all fake sellers but you will be dealing with fake buyers now.
Buyers who will receive product and complain and request for refunds.
To eliminate the fake buyers, we need talk am in private cuz the left hand should not know what the right hand is doing.
If u drop whatsapp, I go give u more info.

The escrow to create does not necessarily need to be a website or an app.
But a simple nairaland page, with some trustworthy nairalanders you know acting as escrow agents, whose accounts will be used to receive payments from buyers and sending of payments to sellers after delivery and confirmation.
Even 1% fee no be small money.
PS: I am not trustworthy when it comes to money but try me when it comes to advice.
Good evening

Send me a msg

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.

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

numen:
It depends on your market. Your market might be rigid in the kind of pepper they buy or flexible. That's your first homework.

Many farmers on Nairaland has commended the goat meat aroma of Piquante Red F1. I'm also planning on planting the same seed. Initially I wanted to plant Rijk Zwan's Loleza F1 and Mawenzili F1 but their price tag is a bit steep.

.
Thanks. I finally bought piquante

Zico777:
I don't get.

.
Trace them to their house

mfm04622:
Who pays for the escrow service?

.
The buyer

Zico777:
What if they are stray animals?

.
Follow them in the evening to be sure

This was a mistake. Someone impersonated her to scam me of 9k.

recklesslove:
Pls I need your help sheep from a nearby village are eating my maize. Pls what can I do ? Someone said fresh cattle dung another said cattle dung won't work for sheep. Pls help oh.

.
Simply confront the sheep owners

Can u educate us here

buqi:
I have fresh cucumbers for sale please

.
Find cuke or fruit market in ur area. Ask fruit sellers where they buy their fruits

Mandem05:
I get your point. I have some Carolina Reaper seeds and I would like to collaborate with a pepper farm to see if this can be grown in Nigeria.

.
Please send me some. I'm in Anambra

JuanDeDios:
Nobody has ever farmed there. So all the manure from every plant and animal that ever died there is there.

.
Wrong. Rain do leach nutrients beyond rpot zone. Soil test will help u know weather u need fertilizer or not

braint:
Good day.
Does anyone know contact info of jubaili agro in Onitsha or anywhere i can buy magnesium sulphate in the south east.?

.
U can buy from Cedagro.com

buqi:
This is good please what is the price of cucumbers now in bags , I heard it has crashed.am harvesting from today please.

.
12 to 16k per bag in onitsha

Is this for medium scale farmers too?

Musty112:
His first mistake he did is admitting that he poisoned the farm. He should have kept mute and insist that he wants to go to court. Once the matter is in court, the parties are not going back to the police station. The police will rather extort both the complainant and the farmer with endless billings. Let him get a lawyer

.
Wise advice. Policemen are quite heartless

Start small first and grow. But you can plant mainly cassava and then try harder crops like pepper, cucumber etc.

Nice post but self promo is too glaring. Delete the last part and I'll help push it to front.

Nice post. But self promotion too much. Delete the last part and I'll help push it to front page

luvtoteach:
It depends on the the type of farm products to convey. If it's poultry or catfish, I think sienna is ok but if you're into cassava , yam, goat etc Truck will be better

.
Making sense

Read well b4 u start again. Also get a successful farmer to mentor you

Eg

To minimize scam, every seller in Agric section must identify themselves properly. Include the following information on the first post you make:

1. Your real name
2. Your office/home address
3. A passport photograph
3. Picture of the product you're selling. You should be holding the product or standing beside it.
4. A picture of you holding a placard or paper, with "Nairaland.com" written on it

Failure to do so may get your thread deleted or you banned.

I have bought some things safely from Nairalanders in the past. But just few days ago I wanted purple fleshed sweet potato vines from this lady [sefani(f)] here: https://www.nairaland.com/8387261/purple-fleshed-sweet-potato-vines.

Here is what happened. Another person contacted me via whatsapp, claiming to be the lady. It was a guy. I was too busy to noticed. I asked him few questions b4 paying. He did not deliver. He no longer pick my calls or reply my whatsapp. I lost N9k.

Please note, the lady, sefani(f), did not scam me. It was another person that impersonated her that scammed me.

To tackle scams, we're now introducing escrow service on agric section and here is how it works:

1. Before you buy, ask the seller to send you pictures or videos of the product. His face should appear and he should hold a paper with "Nairaland.com/agric" written on it.

2. Make sure it is what you want. Ask questions.

3. Payment: Instead of paying directly to the seller, you pay to agric moderator. Agric mod will now transfer the money to the seller after you receive the product satisfactorily.

4. Escrow charges: For now, this service attracts N1000 charge.

5. Moderator Contact: Visit this thread to use our escrow service:
