Farmerakinloye6:
I applied potassium nitrates yesterday, I will see maybe it Worth it....men this fertilizer is too expensive 30k for just 25kg. Cucumber price at the moment is 7-6k.

.
Pls, is that pure potassium nitrate or does it contain other additives? Pls check the content label.

Lanjonath:
Lol..why though? You realize fungicides have little effect on insects right? And also when spraying in the evening all your beneficial insects will be off the farm by then.

You can even spray insecticides that'll normally kill/repel bees in the evening.ost of these chemicals deteriorate with time and in the presence of UV and should be long gone before your bees hit the farm in the morning.

.
Some insecticides will persist and kill bees for weeks. Eg Chlorpyrifos, dimethoat etc. It is better to stick to safer ones like lambdacyhalothrin, Abamectin, neem oil, emmamectin etc

How will hell fire look like? O sinner, u better repent now and submit to Christ.

Mide3367:
thanks Bro. I am aware of all you said. As for girls and alcohol, I no dey do any at all and I am aware of Abu girls. Which course did you do in Ncat? Where are you working now?

.
Nice. Keep it up. Avoid destroyers of destiny.

May I use this opportunity to advice everyone who care to listen, that immoral, in descent dresses will land u in hell. Ephesians 5:3-5 made us know that immoral and in descent people won't enter the kingdom of God. Repent, you may be next.

Nezzjnr:
During the Dry season... It might be okay

Fungicides tends to disrupt pollination some times

.
OK. One gud thing is that, in the evening, flowers are normally closed and that prevents pesticides from reaching the nectars.

willybaby:
almost 2 months, weather since planting has been terrible

.
The yield will likely be very poor. Maize can be very unforgiving.

Krak:
Pls how does one deal with an invasion of giant rats on my farm? They have almost destroyed my houng maize plants.

.
I think fish net will help. I'll be using it in my next watermelon farm to see how effective it will be.

willybaby:
Hello house, please your opinions are needed
@Farmtech
@Ideepaul
@farmerakinyole6
@Oluchidelly
What would you advice, if rains start should the maize be allowed to rest from the stress and probably takeup the npk left or should urea be applied immediately to help it overcome drought stress

.
Hmm. How old are they?

Nezzjnr:
That's why it's preferable to reduce Fungicide application when/during Flowering or at least none at all

.
Isn't that risky with crops like cucumber? Especially during wet, humid periods.

Nezzjnr:
Exactly!!!

But I'm bit skeptical about Spraying Fungicide during Flowering period

.
Fungicides too can affect bees. But I have no choice for now oo. That's why I'm still looking into organic methods.

IamAsiri:
But I thought people usually say that one shouldn't irrigate in the afternoons, that it can lead to burn.

.
Not true, from my experience. Plants love afternoon bath.

richeeyo:
When you look around the world
With the level of technology today
This complete Nonsense

.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a step. Can u tell us url own achievements?

Nezzjnr:
Best Advice ever

It's only best to spray in the evening

.
If u mean insecticides, yes, evening is best. And during flowering, use only bee-friendly pesticides. But for irrigation, morning or afternoon is best. During hot periods, afternoon is best.

abouzaid:
so you can only irrigate once a day with it been in the morning?

..
Depends on ur soil and weather., I irrigate once evry 2 days. In harsh weather, I irrigate daily.

bassey25:
Please, Will this be a good irrigation system for cucumber

. Yes, but u have to avoid irrigating in the evening to minimize fungal diseases.

emmaachile2:
I bought with agro chemicals like funguforce gold and cabri duo but waybill was 10,000.
I bought the tak agro brand of fertlizers outside magnesium sulphate because there are generally very good.

.
Tnks.

They should castrate the husband to serve as warning to others!

This one is death penalty.

SSP 50kg N10,500 Mop 0:0:60 50kg N19,150 Magnesium Sulphate 25kg N19,850 I bought from Abuja through htsfarms
.

. Thanks. Do they waybill it to you? If yes, for how much?

klbakare:
Do you have pics? Can you show me how it works? I will start making researches too. Where do they sell it in Nigeria?

.
It is a hose with tiny holes. It is better than manual, handheld sprinklers. Okoroemeka sell it. Below is a pic from a NL member:

klbakare:
my brother, it's a long story. Although I have gotten drip tapes now, but the challenge is that all of the accessories are also sold in bulk. like I need 15 connectors now, I want to buy a pack of 100. if I decide to use ground supports, I'd also have to buy a pack of 100. it's tiring my brother. cucumbers consume water like mad and watering with bucket is nauseating. Life is really hard for a DIYer in Nigeria. I am in Oyo State. Nairaland sellers are terrible, I have spoken or done business with some of them. Do you have any deal?

.
U would have gone for spray tube for the mean time.

emmaachile2:
You will get 20 average fruits if you follow the right schedule in open field. The fertlization is twice a month with a minimum of 15g-30g fertlizer per plant. We used npk 20:5:10 with zinc as trace, SSP 20%, MOP 0:0:60 and magnesium sulphate.
I tested this with my colleagues in 50 growbags in Lokoja at the height of the heat in March/May
We mixed the fertlizers according to the stages with a formula for blooming flowers @ 4 weeks after transplanting at npk 20:25:35 with a magnesium sulphate foliar spray of 2grams per litre twice a month.
I believe with a shadenet of 50% UV, you will even get more.

.
How much do u buy SSP 20%, MOP 0:0:60 and magnesium sulphate. and where?

FutureIsFemale:
I vowed that today I'm not going to post or comment on any rape related thread because today is a special day for me. Therefore, I reserve my comment.


Men can't control their sexual urge. According to them, it's natural. So the best thing to do is to keep females, mostly little girls away from them.

.
The future is God's kingdom.
.
This ur narrows minded view won't help u at all. It is just like saying: since Christians have failed Nigeria politically, let native doctors and witches take over.
.
Those men u hate so much, were they not raised by females? Look around u today and see how mothers now dress like harlots and teach their children the same. How gud is female then?
.
It is a problem of the heart. Until a man or a woman repent and give his/her life to Christ, they will remain tools in the hands of demons.

jumper524:
The corruption going on in this country, even the common man is part of it.
Until we totally scrap all this subsidies, Nigerians would forever remain lazy and never wake up to realities.
Imagine if fuel subsidy was scraped?
The $300million dollar we spend monthly would be used to develop other sector and maybe the electricity sector would have been more stable hence less consumption of fuel.
More billionaires would build private refineries without political cabals but the truth is that if they should dare venture, they'll be definitely run at a loss..

.
And how much will be looted?

The arms of satan will surely fail u, Igboho. I hope u repent and serve a living God, the father of Christ.

How many times will ebeano be burnt? People are wicked oo.

Afamsi:
But here in Nigeria if you help somebody desposite the poo in his farm, instead of the fellow to atleast bless you for the manure, he will start to unleash generational curses.

Raw feces contains deadly pathogens that will contaminate farm produce. But when treated in a biogas digester, it becomes safe.

CharisEleos:
Hm see how devil just used 5mins madness to destroy your peace and career...
Like why can't you people just be like Joseph in terms of self discipline...

Even the girl. Your parents sent you to school and the very first year, you're already sleeping with a man. Without protection for that matter..

If she's someone that has sense, should sex be the first thing she should go and be pursuing immediately she got to school or her career? SMH..

You see, that time you were about to engage in the act was when you should have done what youre doing here now. That is, reason and ask yourself some of the questions you're now posing to us. It is then you should have reasoned you didn't have a job yet and not ready to father a child or get married.

The bible that says flee every appearance of evil is correct after all.

You better go and see the family because the didn't force their daughter on you in the first place. So, now you don buy market, go and carry your goods.

Everytime Sex sex sex.. sex that doesn't give you a happy ending, is that one sex?

When I tell people I've been celibate for many years, they think it's because I'm trying to form super girl. It's because of all these nonsense super story that you men come up with once there's any little mistake plus the fact that my body is the temple of Holy Spirit and not for any coconut head man who's just looking for anywhere to ease himself.
Mtcheeeeewwwwwww.

Those of you calling yourselves a hypocrite for a harmless comment I made are the real hypocrites because if you were the girls parents, will give the op a bear hug for doing that to your daughter?

What you cant take, you're here advising someone to do it to others. Generation of vipers. Keep encouraging evil.

This is the opportunity you're supposed to use to condemn such wrong and immoral act so that the small boys and girls here can learn and desist from it, but you're busy spewing trash all over the place. Before you know it, it's already at your door step staring you in the face. Then ill see how you'll handle it will a wide smile.

.
Nice write up. I hope people will learn from his mistake.

Juliusmomoh:
You only had sex with her once. And the next she did was telling u that she's pregnant after several weeks... Is anyone thinking what am thing?

.
The child might not be his oo. But he made a terrible mistake. For those who haven't made such mistake yet, I advise them to keep away from girls with seductive behaviors and dressing. Bad companionship will always corrupt good morals.

U have not married yet u kiss and do other things. May God have mercy on u people.
