yea thanks for your opinion,

anyways my current okro plants are 2 weeks now,

in a month or so will upload pictures of my first commercial harvest.

Its good to be good,
but you really need to know this is lagos and everything vegetables sells,

just come and take a look in my area here to see prizes of vegetables,

you will keep on wondering is it not this same vegetable that i see everyday in the farm that is been sold this costly?

Although will upload more pics when the time comes

i never knew this yellow nsuka pepper is hot cake here in lagos

i stoped water leaf farming because of its low prize in market,

if every vegetable is to sell at 100 per piece then you will see that same size of water leaf for just 50 naira,

just to tell you its not that lucrative,

only to be added in the farm to help you generate money to be fuelling the generator and some other farm expenses!

Or else you can plant water leaf in a big acres of land or move down to akwa ibom to make a kill in it there!

cheers!

Baba, come on na. If one calls for investors, there should be binding agreement. Investment in farming is just like any other kind of investment.

You won't put your money into a business without an agreement whether farming or any other, will you?

ideepaul:

If u ever have a stubborn pest/disease problem, consider spraying under the leaves. I've came across a research where farmers have to combine 5 pesticides at high doses just to control whiteflies. But the researcher just used 1 pesticide at the right dose. He sprayed both under and on top of the leaves and got the same result those farmers got.

Garrywllm:
Thanks for the reponse
Would be starting a poultry farm soon, layers to be precise and i would love to have details about it before going in.
Like medication and feeding

Garrywllm:

Psalmy2cute:
one of the majure issue I experienced with by plants is blocked drip emitterz.. do you know of any affordable filter you can recommend?? I'm currently getting my water from the river without filter.. and this I'd causing alot of damage both on my plants and driptapes

Psalmy2cute:
I'm thinking of doing tomatoes on the other side of my farm.. i used not more than 2 and half plot out of an acre.. pepper takes too much time for it to get to maturity.. I currently have nothing less than 1200 stand right now..

but I'm currently trying to add new stands on the farm.. to make up for the ones I lost

EMMAACHILE:
lol. I dont think you need to spray weekly maybe depending on the type of insecticides used.
There are many systemic insecticides but some are stronger than others. In my experience using chemicals, the most efficient are often the most toxic like the chlorpyrifos which some called the alternative to Sarin gas ( a nerve agent). In combination with dimethoate, nothing will survive on the farm including snakes, scorpions.

Psalmy2cute:
aside the bad news.. a large number of my plants are bringing fort a good amount of food for their young age

nxtEinsten:
Please can I get answer to the following questions

1. Please, has anyone planted Sunny F1 pepper here before?
2. Please what the the recommended spacing for Forever F1 pepper and that of Sunny F1 pepper
3. What is the production like for Forever F1 pepper and Sunny F1. Also, like How many bags (size of bag indicated) should be expected per acre or number of crops.
Thanks

codeQue:
Heyah, sorry. I must have been really lucky on my farm then. As @okoroemeka said he sprays weekly, i fight my workers when they suggest we spray, if we don't see any signs of insects i don't approve their spraying.

The things i'm seeing are really scaring me.

Psalmy2cute:
damn, when did this happen??

FarmTech:
Sorry for that. Those little white devils had once gave me a fatal blow. But thank God I now know their weaknesses.

FMCASH:
Forever f1, 440 seedlings from 5grams, 63% germination rate.

Psalmy2cute:
now what I dont know is.., will these plants bring out new foliage?? or they're completely dead @ okoroemeka , ogbongonet, FMCASH , Farmtech

what do you think??
