The highest I did when applying poultry manure was wrap something around my hands, although I think spraying insecticide might require the nose mask.

However, my search for rabbit manure still continues, aside it has been said severally here to be better than poultry, I'm also damn sure it won't be as heavy as poultry manure, cos poultry manure is so so heavy to carry, walahi

I hope u knw they r more expensive dn chicken dung. a 50 kg bag may be ×3 dt of poultry... reason z dt u need a big rabbit farm 2 get them in large quantity and d farms dt can meet dt demand are knowledgeable on its value and booked already...

Yampotatocarrot:
That's why we seeking for alternative like rabbit's own

FMCASH:
As a brother I will advice you to do tomato this time and do cucumber dry season, cucumber wahala is too compare tomato, chili and bell pepper. I'm close to you, I'm in Owode Egba. You can give a call.

tomato glut is jst arnd d corner unless ur zone z special! or maybe u have special marketing strategies available

okoroemeka:
tomatoes,we will definitely summon the courage to do that next year,one basket sold for ₦30k mid may-june this year at onitsha army barracks market,for that sort of money in tomatoes at that period it's time we put on our thinking caps.

Onitsha dey learn where Uyo dey! price f commodities go scare even dangote...I got 5 bad looking tomato fruits for 200 nd a coke bottle sized cucumber 4 d same price 1 month ago. dt alone made me wise!

DeLaRue:
1. Climatic, environmental and soil conditions plus disease pressure in the South of the country can make growing tomato a major challenge. Against this backdrop, growing a determinate variety where nursery to harvesting can be completed in a relatively short time makes more sense. The longer your tomato plants remain in the open soil, the greater the risk of a devastating disease.

2. Unless you have a contract to supply buyers like supermarkets at a decent fixed price, there's no point taking the risk with indeterminate tomato plants for 4 or 5 months or more. Prices are often too low in the open markets to justify wasting all that time.

3. Determinate gives you an opportunity to harvest most of your fruits over a short period. This is perfect for targeting mid - May to late June when tomato price is highest in this country.

Good luck.

wow! this z quite educative! u have said it all, no wonder those experienced farmers don't do "long term harvest crops"
pls do mind to address d workability of polybags for tomato.
nd are there disease tolerant alternative varieties to cobra nd padma, a neighbour who collects my rabbit urine did experimental portions f d 2 varieties nd said market women gave a lot f negative reviews abt taste nd shape, d thing weak me sha

@ all d farmers in d house! why is it that semi determinates and indeterminate varieties are nt commonly grown in open field even wt d theoretical high yield potential attached eg maxim with yields f up 2 80 ton/acre, and does anyone hv any info on openfield polysack tomato and pepper farming, i hv found very little practical info online

ifedola28:
This is an excellent thread. Thanks @ Okoroemeka for sharing your knowledge in the simplest way that even a baby can comprehend. God will continue to strengthen you

wow! anty u sef don port come here? ...also learning a lot from ur thread tho

Yampotatocarrot:
Thanks for your input. How can one balance it out?

One challenge I had when I used poultry manure was chicken abi na hens scattering everything, did u experience such using rabbit droppings?

I believe d chickens destroyed ur crops cz f d grain remnants and d maggots in d dung and do so 2 rabbit droppings if d above factors abound! I avoid these by reducing amt f wasted feed pellet in droppings and drying d droppings. rabbits on solely greens don't attract chickens 2 dr droppings. I balance it in my limited knowledge by applying good amt f ash from wood and bush clearings if 4 fruit veges only... d experienced Ogas okoroemeka and cocoboms can help out on d balancing tin tho

excanny:
Yes. Rabbit manure is not considered "hot". And can be applied directly to plants


It's a better manure than poultry. Has the highest NPK level of animal poop.

I've been looking for it o. Do you rear rabbits? I was almost thinking of rearing rabbits again if not for lack of space.

meet an experienced rabbit farmer in ur area and u will see ways of maximizing ur available space through proper construction and u may b lucky 2 realize they don't have need for d droppings. I can't snap with my phone, I wd have shown u mine

Yampotatocarrot:
Does rabbit dropping have any effect when applied directly to plants? I'm having a hard time soaking my poultry droppings in water, because of the smell (Its a residential area kind of).

Which is preferable to use, the urine or droppings, and what side effect(s) do they have?

the droppings does not burn plant and encourage earthworm population explosion, but just be aware DT d nitrogen content in the (urine) z high and may encourage foliage growth at the expense of flowering and fruiting, so look to balance it out. jst my personal experience o, the snr bosses in d house can help out

okoroemeka:
you can use staking nets,reduces bamboo use by 60%,and we discovered that any spacing more than 30cm interval is waste.

wow! wud like 2 c an image f hw its used and hw economical compared 2 bamboo

okoroemeka:
the yield of that variety is simply crazy,if you don't top the crops in time the branches will be breaking because of fruit load,but unfortunately it's for dry season it doesn't like water on the leafs.

I will use d same GAP for cukes on d pepper cz d land will b fully available frm January next year...btw I m abt 2 trial cukes on a 12 by 16m space f land for abt 750 plants using spacing of 0.5 by 1m with 2 plants per stand, do u think d spacing z adequate? bamboo z crazily expensive in uyo! hw can i buy a bamboo stick for #300 each? will chat u up sir through WhatsApp

FMCASH:
efia?

no o! avenir

okoroemeka:
it will get more interesting when our peppers start to come out and we start our dry season sack farm with drip to tackle once and final the #500k from 1 plot issue.

pls no matter what happens, pls endeavour 2 post updates abt d peppers when u start cos I will start my nursery next february. I'm raising rabbit cz of the potential manure yield 4 d small trial farm f abt 20 by 15m...do u hv an idea abt 'real' yield of avenir

okoroemeka:
hmm,we have not done anything to the melon,we are so busy that we forgot the melon, even common fungicide or foliar we have not sprayed, thank God we applied good manure and nematicide before planting that why all insects ran away,they are crawling now with small tendrils appearing,it's time for 1st NPK/urea application,but I will give it to this melons no amount of sunlight can shake them,we irrigate every 3 days but their heat tolerance is unbelievable,no wonder they said it originated from the desert,and thing noticed is that no nematicide ,no vegetables farming for us as simple as that,that thing kills anything that flew,crawl,jumped or wriggled near the melons, including snails, centipede, millipedes,worms of various categories, caterpillars of different models,bettles of all colours,but only drawback it also kills earthworm,but a small price to pay for a good yield.

rabbit droppings can easily replenish earthworm population! or u cud buy vermicompost to replenish d soil...I think since d nairaland crash incident years ago, this ranks amongst d top 10 most educative and honestly open agric thread I've read, abeg no use paid seminar spoil am o

nairalandist:
does the school not have a website? how come you're unable to ask them... i'm kinda puzzled here sir

I have checked the site and there z no info abt tuition for international students. maybe I will have to call them...I was just hoping to get a response from someone with past experience

nairalandist:

I have googled it and no one is really talking abt it

42 views no help? I use una mama food beg una,make people help me na!

Franol is not an option for me, it worsens the condition. I am better of with Aminophiline and predosoline(I no go spelling school o) and so happy it doesn't hit so regularly...those times when I would go for exams without reading,just lucky I had friendly lecturers and coursemate

why u go rush go buy first to comment space?

hr987:
The best university so far to study any course is covenant University OTA

If I i have the covenant skl fees, I'll do any of these two
1:fight for visa and attend a better skl abroad or 2:use it to start up a business
That's not a poor man's skl. The standard is ok for a Nigerian skl, but not worth it compared to global standards... No Hating o

SlimSkipper:
lets mind our choice of words he didnt build d car (definately not d engines) he only assembled it

Can you pls enlighten us on where in the world cars are totally manufactured in a single location? I guess you are one of those saying Nigeria does not manufacture automobiles but assemble it!

baba11:
It depends on you to choose between computer Engineering and computer science. Both covers wide field of computer' while cybersecurity will just limit you to this field.I am a graduate of computer engineering and with a few certification, I'm a cybersecurity expert!!!!#act smart....

What of doing computer science and engineering as a single course?I guess that one is the best!

baba11:
It is better for you to do Computer Science first then Msc in cybersecurity.If i may ask,which school is doing this?

FUTMinna is offering it as a bsc programmer(Cyber security science)...sometimes I wonder which is more rewarding between cyber security science and computer science and engineering
