okoroemeka: stunted growth, yellow leafs,plant wilts when sun is shining and does not come back to normal even when irrigated,if u pull it up u will see round nodes on the roots and stem will be rotted,and if it eventually bear fruits u will only harvest max 3-4 times it will wilt and die off.
okoroemeka: preparing the mega nursery for 7000 plants in paper cups,the crops will stay 10-12 days before going to the field,many may question the need for such stress in doing a nursery,well we discovered that nematodes reduce the yield of cucumbers by 50%,so we used a super treated potting mix in the nursery and when it will be transferred to the field it will fumigate the soil very effectively it lasts 70days in soil,pls don't ask the name of the nematicide u can't find it in nigeria.we have plans of planting such every month and will increase the number when our mechanized equipment arrives,this will surely be an interesting year.
Great job bro, please what are sign to notice when nematode its affecting cucumber plants, thanks.
jethro2: With our raised bed system we have been having 5 bags per bed.
An acre has 80 bed with our kind of measurements.
However several things need to be put into consideration * Manure application * Plant population at planting * Water management * Pest and disease control * Staking and training * Prunning etc
It's only when you get all this right that you can attain that average no of yield
Great job ma, please how many can of tokyo did you planted on an acre and your harvest do last for how many times per cycle, thanks.

Fortune109: Only keeping hunger off which so many food can offer without all the toxicity of pork... basically you just been cunning with the other points.
7 Health Benefits of Pork Meat 1. Fat While fat has certainly gotten a bad rap with its link to heart disease, there is no question that a certain amount of fat in your diet is essential. Pork certainly contains fat, but it does not have as much as red meat, making it a good way to get the fat in your diet that you need without overdoing it. 2. Protein Like fat, protein is another absolute essential in the human diet. Meat products are known for their high protein content, and pork provides plenty of protein without as much fat as red meat. Protein is especially essential for people looking to increase their muscle mass. 3. Healthier choices There has been concern voiced by some experts about the chemicals that are used to prepare and preserve meats like pork. Both nitrates and nitrites may be linked with cancer, but the good news is that there are now pork products available that do not contain any nitrates or nitrites. 4. Vitamins Pork packs a whole host of vitamins, and it is particularly rich in B vitamins. B vitamins are recognized for the benefits they offer the brain and may help ward off issues like depression and anxiety. B vitamins are one of the key concerns for many vegetarians since meat is such an important source, prompting them to take supplements. 5. Minerals In addition to vitamins, pork also provides a number of beneficial minerals which include both zinc, phosphorus, and selenium. The combination of these three minerals help promote the growth of new cells in the body, boost the immune system, strengthen teeth and bones, and also help protect the walls of blood vessels. 6. Carbohydrates As ideas change about what’s healthy, carbohydrates are coming under closer scrutiny by many medical researchers and health professionals. A reduction in carbohydrate intake is often recommended for people who are trying to lose weight or have diabetes.
7. Pork keeps hunger at bay Protein is likely to stick with you a lot longer than many other foods. Although there’s no doubt that fruits and vegetables are some of the healthiest things you can eat, they just don’t keep you feeling full for very long. With its high protein content, eating pork will keep you feeling full longer and may help you avoid unhealthy snacks like those found in vending machines in the workplace. http://viralventura.com/pork-health-benefits/ Pure breed and Fattener available for sales.
okoroemeka: it depends on soil,some soil are so infertile that fertilizer is a must,while some will give a good yield with only manure and foliar sprays,and also in very big farms using manure every 2 weeks is almost impractical,moreover the 1500 batch we planted without chemical fertilizer is out we have harvested twice and it is still like new..inorganic fertilizer is a double edge sword it will give u good healthy crops ,if used well but it will gradually destroy the land,if manure is used on a land it reconditions the soil and the microfauna that the soil can be used indefinitely without losing fertility. if given a choice I will take manure we don't have large lands for crop rotation in the east.and also note that chemical fertilizer do not increase yield it only makes the crop healthy what gives yield is the genetics of the seed,A GOOD YIELD STARTS FROM THE SEED!
okoroemeka: yes u are right.we have stopped using chemical fertilizer but we apply foliar fertilizer for micro nutrients, going organic all the way.more stress but u can reuse the same soil indefinitely, we have now planted 6 times with the same soil in our sack farm,we top it with manure every 2 weeks
I thought you said we should adhere to foliar spray this dry season to avoid burnt?

pamdaniel: you are back dated and lazy dats why it seems impossible for you who have not taken a bold step. when you visit my farm you would notice that I have advanced... I have new systems and less tudios formats of planting cucumber
okoroemeka: intensive pruning they removed 80% of the leaves so the plant will focus all its energy in producing flowers and fruits not maintaining leaves.
what's your take if we start pruning cucumber leaves during pruning?
okoroemeka: but if u plant more than 2 crops in a sack the watering will increase more than twice daily especially when fruiting, I wander how vanpelle managed to plant 4 in one sack it looks impossible to me.
he planted 4 can and harvested 87 bags I think due too disease. Moral: over population increase rate by which disease spread.
okoroemeka: we harvested it 5 times and got 32 bags then my workers used urea fertilizer on it ,because I traveled to Enugu and the crops died I was hoping we will get 50+bags,but we have replanted it 7 days ago..
sorry for the loss bro, does your rain gun works effectively for the sack? 2) did you turn the soil in the sack before replanting or just wet and replant direct?
okoroemeka: (1)the type we are using is 100 metres radius(300 feet),it covers 2 plots at a go,the time it will take depends on how wet you want the soil.at less 20-30 mins the ground is already wet. (2)drip tape needs elaborate set up ,overhead tank,PVC pipes and assesories,if u are planting in the deep bush that is not acceptable u need a setup that is quick and easy to install.(3)price #50,000 without stand ,3 inch's china water pump and blue flexible hose.
okoroemeka: we put manure (pig or chicken)and turn it with the soil inside before planting.this is very important it will be the first nutrients the young roots will get.
okoroemeka: pics of the one plot that has been planted with 1500,each hole has organic manure in it and 2 seeds are planted in it that why the hole is rectangular.
good job bro, after digging, did you later pour some top soil back or you just planted on the thick sub soil like that?
okoroemeka: went to the farm we are doing in partnership with eagle food processing,the farm is so big that 4 guys are working everyday just harvesting cucumbers. we had problems with one of the rainguns,problem later solved, we have plan a,b,c,d,e even to k.
good job bro, please how many plot of land can this rain gun cover and it takes how many minute before the job is done. 2) why did you prefer rain gun to drip tape for cucumber farming? Thanks. 3) what's the cost of getting this rain gun and set up, thanks.
