My great grandfather was among d captured slaves to be taken to US but dat wicked man escaped and denied us d privileged of been a native of United States.... Imagine a country honouring a dog.. if it is in Nigeria, a hunter and his family will savour and even devour all d bones from a rabbit a dog caught and eat d dog too wen not satisfied ..... better to be a slave in US than a freeman in Naija

my brother I think whiteflies are the most stubborn insects to eradicate,I have seen a whole farm wiped out by excessive chemicals sprayed for whiteflies,if you have used dimethon I guessed you have used magicforce and action 40 ,if the fly still persists look for an acephate based insecticide like acetaforce and use,but if the flies are not there yet I think a weekly spray of action 40 will be a good preventive measure,some areas are prone to heavy whitefly infestation.

Most 100kg size bags contain 65-70 mudus.

don't underestimate the marketers at Coke or relief market onitsha ,one marketer can sell 200 bags of cucumbers daily.if in doubt go and see with your two korokoro eyes.

okoroemeka:
so you think onitsha cannot buy what you can produce

taking veggies to those two locations during dry season will be like taking drugs to Malaysia,be ready to tackle agbero,local government thugs,general nusiance idlers but in the end it's worth it

sorry for the erratic update s,we harvested for the second time on Thursday and got a basket and an increase of150%from last harvest, hopefully we are marching towards peak production.

okoroemeka:
if it is okra there's not much to learn about planting it,but cucumbers can be really tasking,I didn't learn from anybody because there's almost no farmer planting cucumbers in our area by 2014,I just consumed threads by jasper7,vanpele,olaimo,ishasguy,etc and combined more from goggle farm.

in the north we didn't eat much maize like that fresh.no any good market for it only dry one,therefore I don't have option than to allow it to dry before threshing it.

FMCASH:

okoroemeka:
if you are an expert in all those mentioned areas why don't you farm them and smile to the bank,we have done all expect rabbit what I will tell you is that it's not easy,the sound of mouth chewing bitter kola is obviously not the taste!!

shariff84:

50kg is 200 naira

we harvested the okro today,it's 54 days since we planted and we are just still having 30-40% flowering and 20% production,but by next week we will have full production,the crops was 1 feet 6 inches by harvest,just once npk 201010 application(3 weeks) and once manure(4 weeks) took it to this level,we will weed next week and apply another dose of fertilizer, compared to cucumbers the cost of production is very low and stress level non existent,we are seriously considering a dry season okra farm with drip irrigation,so far what we have spent so far is less than ₦10,000 naira on almost one plot of okra, ridges₦2000,seed₦1500, fertilizer₦1200,manure₦500, weeding ₦1300, insecticide₦2500(used only 30%).I could have included pics of the freshly prepared okra soup vs goat meat,but I think it could be graphic and could send many a stomachs rumbling.

Harvest volume as pa sequence is similar to that of cucumber and tomatoes. But not as lucrative as both, its only advantage is it requires less inputs: energy, time, resources, maintenace.Today you may harvest a bagco bag, next 4 days a 25kg bag and next 50kg, then diminishing return sets in from same portion of land.
As pa life span, I remember I planted one on independence day (Oct 1st) and I harvested till Jan. The thing died in Feb cos I stop irrigating. There was high demand in Jan n Feb due to its scarcity.

okoroemeka:
)i have tried many crops many worked and a few failed,but the sight of these okra plant flowering is indeed a beautiful sight
