Why Greengo F1 is one of the best commercially oriented cucumber seeds in town

There are many varieties of cucumber in Nigeria from different seed companies, some are good but one stands out due to the reason underlined below.

Deep Greenish plum fruit: Greengo f1 has one of the finest deep greenish colour of fruits you can find in Nigeria. Asides, it produces averagely equal sized fruits that are plum which enhances its package-ability.

Dioecious: Cucumber by nature is a monoecious crop but Greengo f1 is a dioecious. What this means is that it is similar to local papaya plant that has male and female flowers on different plant stands. In other words, out of ten plant stands, one could be male and the remaining nine, females. Mostly in ration 10:1, the few male plants stands are expected to pollinate the very many female plant stands with the help of beneficiary insects/winds.

Resistance to weather changes: Cucumber plants often respond to day length, heat, time of the year etc. This changes in environment causes cucumber plants to mostly produce predominantly male flowers with few female flowers resulting to potentially poor yield. Having an exclusive female plant stands from a diecious crops like Greengo F1 has solved this problem - A female plant would always be a female plant.

High yield: This is one of the benefits of planting only dioecious seeds. Since the ratio is mostly 10:1 in favour of predominantly female plants, you have potentially high yield every other thing being equal.

Market sentiment: The fresh veggies markets are predominantly disposed to deep greenish cucumber fruits especially in Southwest Nigeria. You have a better unit price from planting this type than the light greenish ones.

Resistance to Downy Mildew: This is perhaps the major threat in cucumber cultivation especially in raining season. There is no degree of preventive measures you can take to stem this infection if the variety in the first place does not have intermediate to high resistance to mildew. Greengo f1 has a very strong resistance to mildew even without preventive measures (though not wise).

Long shelf-life: This cucumber variety can stay for a week without depreciating in colour or firmness. Only few varieties if any can equal this. This is perhaps an attraction to both retailers and consumers.

Early maturity: The first harvest is as early as five weeks and a half from planting

Lastly, if you are still in doubt, just give it a trial and you would never cultivate other varieties of cucumber again in this class. Remember that in veggies farming, it is never a wise decision to always go for cheap seeds with cheap genes.

Biko oo, my brother is in FUT minna, Niger state and it's obvious that the arbokis have gone haywire again. Should i call him back?

Ask him to seek transfer to an Eastern university like UNN. Education is only useful to the living.

This is a nice development.

Here is a brief review of the resources of the South East region: Abia state This is the commercial hub of fabrics in Igbo land. The state is gifted with human and natural resources meet for fabrics such as clothes, shoes and other wears. The ingenuity of the Abia people lies in their somewhat mystical talent to construct and reconstruct whatever design of wears and fabrics ordered on them. Created in 1991, from the old Eastern, partly from Imo which it bears boundary with, Abia was included to the other 8 Niger Delta states as an oil producing state in Nigeria. Although its capital is Umuahia, its commercial hub is Aba, an ancient city busied with heavy economic activities which had harboured the British outpost. Abia is blessed with numerous resources which if explored will no doubt set the state as one of the very best in the world. Here are the natural/mineral resources in Abia state: Laterite, Tar, Crude Oil, Natural Gas, Lead, Zinc, Flora like Iroko, Mahogany, Obeche, Bamboo, Rubber Tree and Oil Palm, Gypsum, Limestone, Iron Or. Exceptions to these resources aforementioned are the yet to be discovered ones believed so to say, to be domiciled in the state. Anambra State Anambra a name concocted by the British who for their intellectual deficiency of phonological ological interference, were incapable of pronouncing the real name “Oma Mbala,” a name the native people got from their river, Mbala, yet startles the mind of the immeasurable capacity of its people to drive success and development and their distinct ability in dispensing their skills to irk out a living even virtually out of nothing. As ancient as it is, it is one of the newest states created in 1991 with its capital at Awka and commercial hubs as Onitsha, Nnewi, Ekwulobia, Ihiala and some other viable ones. Commonly called by its slogan “home for all,” Anambra borders Enugu to the East, Imo and Rivers state to the North and Delta to the West. The state is blessed with the following resources: Bauxite, Natural Gas, Crude Oil, Rubber; not forgetting that it has 30 Trillion cubic feet of Gas, deposit of coal. Ebonyi State Just like Anambra and Abia states, the people of Ebonyi are primarily business. Carved from Abia and Enugu state by Abacha in 1996, Ebonyi stands as one of the best agriculturally progressive states in Nigerian. They started off from, though rapidly growing beyond it, subsistent farming. First of its natural resources is land. The land in Ebonyi state including its capital, Abakiliki is a major wealth creator in the state as many of its indigenes engage in Agriculture as their major source of living and creating wealth. Amongst the numerous quite indispensable products produced in the state are rice, yam, potatoes, maize, beans, and cassava in Nigeria. Rice and yams are predominantly cultivated in Edda, a region within the state. The resources of the state include: Lead, Crude Oil, and Natural Gas, but Few Large-scale commercial mines and huge limestone deposit in Nkalagu The state government has, however, given several incentives to investors in the agro-allied sector to encourage production. Ebonyi is called "the salt of the nation" for its huge salt deposit at the Okposi and Uburu Salt Lakes. Others include Sale, Zinc, Lead, Natural Gas, Crude Oil, Gold and other Solid Minerals. Enugu State The coal city (state) and its people share some similarity in business mindedness. Enugu was the capital of the old Anambra state and was split with Anambra in 1991, still retains its capital as Enugu. Commercially viable cities in Enugu state are Enugu town, Agbani, Awgu, Udi, Oji-River, and Nsukka, the home of University of Nigeria, Nsukka which is the first ever indigenous University in Nigeria. Enugu is well endowed with Coal which is where it derives its slogan “Coal City state” from. Other resources include: Zinc, Lead, Oil. Imo State Though it is usually regarded as more educationally minded with its people more seemingly more engaged in academics than business in comparison with other parts of Igbo land especially Anambra and Ebonyi, Imo state is yet blessed with natural resources aside the intellectual resources with Owerri as its capital and commercial hub, borders with Abia State on the East, by the River Niger and Delta State on the west, by Anambra State to the north and Rivers State to the south. Towns that engage the state as a viable economic hub and house its resources aside Owerri include the oil rich Oguta, the business friendly Orlu, Isu, Okigwe, Akokwa, Mbaise, Mbaitoli, Mbieri, Orodo, Nkwerre, Ubulu, Ngor Okpala, Omuma, Mgbidi, Awo-Omamma and Orsu, Ozara etc. Imo is Naturally endowed with natural resources ranging from crude oil, natural gas, lead, zinc, Flora like the iroko, mahogany, obeche, bamboo, rubber tree and oil palm predominate. Though the state battles deforestation as a result of its increasing population with limited land mass, a problem virtually all the Igbo states suffer, it is still a force in the vegetation business second to Ebonyi state.

May God grant you safe jorney back home. Amen Lets make Igboland great again.

Good day house,

Pls I would like to hear from rice farmers in the house:

Pls what quantity of rice seeds is required on average to give a yield or harvest of 10 tons on one hectare and one planting season?

Pls your responses will be deeply appreciated.

Thank you.

I'm a newbie in rice farming, some rice farmers gets up to 4 tonnes in this dry season farming. I will advice you to join FADAMA group because FG is giving grants to rice farmers.

Agritech:
Step One: Plant the ugu seeds in sawdust. if the sawdust is in a container, ensure the container is perforated at the bottom so that excess water can drain out.
After about 5-7 days, the ugu seeds would look like this and we would be ready for step 2.

Pls, should I add manure or fertilizer and soil to the sawdust?

thanks Op!

ENUGU—Immediate past Governor of Anambra State, Mr. Peter Obi, has called for the release of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, and other detained Biafra activists. Obi, while fielding questions from newsmen in Enugu, yesterday, emphasised that the use of force was not the solution to the Biafra agitation as such agitations are best resolved through dialogue. He said: “I wish to appeal to the Federal Government to change its hardline posture on this issue and yield to the persistent clamour for the release of Nnamdi Kanu and other Biafran activists to douse the tension in the country, especially in the South-East and South-South geo- political zones. “The Federal Government should engage them in dialogue. Every agitation in the world is resolved through dialogue and not by means of force.” The former governor recalled that he was among the first to advocate a political solution to the renewed Biafra agitation and expressed disappointment that the advice was yet to be heeded. “This has been my consistent position, and I remember making the same point when I spoke at an event organised in Enugu in February 2016 by the Igbo Youth Movement,” he said. He noted that while the Federal Government may have reservations about the Biafra agitation, it should realise and acknowledge that the agitators, like other citizens, have their fundamental rights of freedom of expression and assembly guaranteed by the Nigerian Constitution.
