I use only dimethoate and ddforce.
the combo works well and I don't think they have grown resistance against the combo for now
.
Better to use bee friendly pesticides during flowering.

thank you boss, a larger percentage have started fruiting and it is not curvy as before. leaf is green also
.
I'm happy to hear that. But watch out for tiny pests like thrips, whiteflies etc. Early detection and control is critical. Apart from dimethoeat, what other pesticides are u using?

my2chains:
hmm that means heavy water hanging on the seedlings is the cause of it

i was even thinking maybe the seeds are just too weak to survive thats why they die off early

looks like i will devise for a new way of wetting them from now on
.
Water every day but in the morning only. Also spray them with fungicides every 3-4 days. Damping off is likely the cause. Not protecting them from sun can also cause it. Pepper seedlings need good shading.

We are talking about Adultery here. A married man or woman looking at another sexually when he or she has a wife NOT a single person. And when is human nature according to the bible sinful...you guyz just take things out of context
.
For single persons and married people, it is called 'lust'.
.
Human nature according to the bible:

"Romans 8:6-16
Bible / Bible Versions /
Good News Translation / Romans /
Romans 8 / Romans 8:6-16
6 To be controlled by human nature results in death; to be controlled by the Spirit results in life and peace. 7 And so people become enemies of God when they are controlled by their human nature; for they do not obey God's law, and in fact they cannot obey it. 8 Those who obey their human nature cannot please God. 9 But you do not live as your human nature tells you to; instead, you live as the Spirit tells you to - if, in fact, God's Spirit lives in you. Whoever does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him. 10 But if Christ lives in you, the Spirit is life for you because you have been put right with God, even though your bodies are going to die because of sin. 11 If the Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from death, lives in you, then he who raised Christ from death will also give life to your mortal bodies by the presence of his Spirit in you. 12 So then, my friends, we have an obligation, but it is not to live as our human nature wants us to. 13 For if you live according to your human nature, you are going to die; but if by the Spirit you put to death your sinful actions, you will live. 14 Those who are led by God's Spirit are God's children. 15 For the Spirit that God has given you does not make you slaves and cause you to be afraid; instead, the Spirit makes you God's children, and by the Spirit's power we cry out to God, "Father! my Father!" 16 God's Spirit joins himself to our spirits to declare that we are God's children.
In Context Parall" - https://www.biblestudytools.com/gnt/romans/passage/?q=romans+8:6-16

thank you boss, I will do just that.
I frigate manually and deeply. I have applied manure twice and npk oncr
.
Manually? That would be tough oo. Watering is not enof If u get bitter tasting cukes. Let's see what happen. Meanwhile, control pests well with other types of insecticides like chlorfenapyr, emamectin benzoate, abamectin etc. It is not gud to use only 1 type of insecticides. Read up insecticide mode of action groups.

The larvae can also be used to compost faeces and manage smell from animal farms.

What are your results as you feed them to the chickens?

I’m going to take a break for 4 days from this handle, I joins my neighbor in harvesting yesterday for the first time and bro the work no be for here.
We got to mile 12 around some minutes past 9.
The current price for a bag is 5k to 6k
I won’t disclose how many bags cause I’m not in the position to do that.

What I learnt is keep a transport vehicle at hand , a couple of them
Secondly strictly for Lagos market, have contacts of various vegetable farmers.

Day #32 mixture of Murano and Marketer
The plants are on steriods
Weeding has been completed
Couple of flowers
Marketer already has flowers planted it five days before Murano
Trellis nets have been placed
Cycled chemical application, fertilizer and manure
We are counting days.

98% are going to hell then. How will you look at a matured woman same way you look at a 6 year old girl. To admire the curves and femininity of a woman is human nature but you say it is lusting. Hasn't God made us differently and to say a woman is beautiful is to say you are attracted to her which can eventually lead to you going for her because you like what you see and from there develop a relationship that can lead to Marriage. How is that lusting...Let's be real. Don't you admire a beautiful woman when you see her because she has good feminine characteristics which God has put in place.
.
Lust is when u look at someone with sexual thoughts in ur heart. U said "To admire the curves and femininity of a woman is human nature". But remember that human nature according to the bible, is sinful. U can't make heaven with human nature.

The Bible clearly said divorce is not allowed unless in the case of Adultery,



So even if my husband beats me, drinks and smokes.. I should still be with him
.
Did u consulted God before u married him? Did u attracted him by seduction? Many women are the cause of their headache. If ur husband abuse u, don't seek divorce. Take it to God instead. If u fail to suffer for ur sins here on earth, u will suffer for it in hell.

OK sir.
can you pls assist with a better fertiliser I can use sirhuh
I spray my farm weekly because of white flues and they always come back
Which insecticide did u use for whiteflies? It matters a lot. Another thing that matters a lot is where u spray. U will get better result if u spray the under side of leaves.

This was the same tough debate we had with pistotita. grin He smiled and told us to try them out on a small scale. I know you are not a cucumber or tomato farmer but just checking articles here and there. Maybe to discredit him. We went on pilot, farmers in Jos had entirely different result and flowering was better than in Ibadan and Enugu Read his answer in his link again. This is a topic we discussed very well. Check the pictures from technisem and eastwest he added. Did you read where caution on heat bringing out more males? Better you talk to East West technicians and ask if monalisa needs it. They will even tell you greengo does not really need it. How to mix is a complete different story to maximize profit. Please, use information on internet to your advantage because most of the articles you read do not weather like West Africa. I wish I know how to explain like pistotita. Can you read more people coming out to talk about him? Pisto is too straight forward. I hope you do the right thing he pointed to you because you are a mod. I wrote that you sound like a good guy, but it is looking like you are trying hard to discredit him. There are strong evidences he has posted but you are silent.
.
I am trying to find out the truth and not to discredit anybody. I have farmed cukes like 3x. Mostly Cu 999.
.
So are u trying to say that even with gynecious cukes, heat will make them produce more males than females?
AgricultureRe: First 1 Acre Cucumber Farm In Ogun State Diary by FarmTech(mod): 11:58pm On Jan 30, 2020
About gynecious cukes, I got this:

"The female flowers of gynoecious varieties still need to be fertilized with pollen from male flowers, so a certain percentage of monoecious plants need to be planted along with the gynoecious plants to serve as pollenizers. Most seed companies provide cucumber seed blends that contain 85% to 90% gynoecious seed and 10% to 15% monoecious seed. These blends ensure that the optimal proportion of male to female flowers are present in a planting, resulting in good pollination levels and high fruit yields." - https://seminis-us.com/resources/agronomic-spotlights/understanding-flowering-habits-cucumbers/

And this:
"Gynoecious varieties are special hybrids which produce predominantly female flowers. Seeds of a standard monoecious variety are commonly included in the seed packet to ensure adequate pollination. (The seeds of the monoecious variety may be dyed or placed in a separate packet.) Gynoecious varieties often outproduce standard varieties when a pollenizer (monoecious variety) is present." - https://hortnews.extension.iastate.edu/faq/how-do-gynoecious-cucumber-varieties-differ-other-varieties.

In liquid form.

I saw how grassy ur farm is and I suggest u use paraquat to control weeds between rows and then for those weeds close to plants, use hand.
.
For ur staking. What did u use to support the net? Remember that when cukes start developing they will have a lot of weight.

@Lofarm, keep it up and make it work. Don't be discouraged. I dont know much on whether to combine murano and other cuke varieties but the link below recommends it for proper fertilization. I'll like other experienced farmers shud come in on this.

Pistotita:
I appreciate you for promising to look into the matter. Now, I will keep my part of the deal to stop replying them. Please, look at it deeply, you will surely see the pattern. I even read healthserve complained in his recent post he was banned for 2 weeks when he operated last online Jan 10. He mentioned you on the post in my Agric thread. I guess he was banned and cautioned by a mod. He is everywhere with is scams. His handwriting is everywhere. There is no way you pay attention to him and you will not see it. Just follow these 3 monikers: kunleweb, healthserve and arlanticfire. Look at the old posts and you will see the pattern. Then, look at threads where he has been shouted at. You will see same complain from different people in different sections. He thought he is smart to cover his tracks, but the evidences are in his posts. Please, take time sir. All his 3 monikers are guilty as charged.

If these 3 monikers are banned for life, he will be frustrated. He will open new ones, and we will monitor him again. The moment his group realises that NL has started clamping them down, and that Pistotita is watching, the camp will be forever disorganised. Many NL members will be vigilant to tackle them. Please, look at these 3 monikers again. And when you see this similarities please, help us notify our oga Seun or whoever has rlthe power to permanently delete these 3 monikers.

I will never reply any of them again to allow peace reign in this agric section henceforth.

Thank you and God bless.
