REUBEN010:
Have you checked with Solokad at Ogunpa market?

Dropped a message for him on WhatsApp, yet to get a response

Pls can anyone recommend a reliable irrigation accessories seller.
Ibadan will be most preferred.

ideepaul:
Some people in my state cultivate pepper, okro, and cucumber in these wetlands and according to them, the crops do better. But you may need to consult with farmers who have experience growing crops in these soil types so you don't run into loses due to ignorant decisions

Thanks man

Chidiebubeoji:
Wetland? Never heard of this. Does it mean the land is always wet?

During raining season, yes.
But the water recedes during dry season

My ogas in the house..... Does anyone have practical experience planting cucumber on wetland (called AKURO in South West)
I have access to a large expanse of wetland that can only be utilized during DRY season, dec-march.
I'd love to learn from those who have successfully planted cucumber on such land before

Botragelad:
Stop spreading propaganda that holds no ground here.
Your message contains several assumptions and errors that need to be corrected and clarified.

First, Hamas is a Palestinian militant Islamist group that has been designated as a terrorist organization by many countries and organizations. A terrorist group that has been involved in numerous attacks against Israeli civilians and military targets, using suicide bombings, rockets, missiles, and other weapons. This same group have also been accused of human rights violations, from using civilians as human shields, torturing prisoners, and suppressing dissent.
Both Hamas and Boko Haram are terrorist groups that use violence and extremism to pursue their political and religious goals. See the similarities?

Now, the claim that Hamas seeks the freedom of its people from an apartheid oppressor called Israel is also false and misleading. [b]Hamas does not seek the freedom of its people, but rather the destruction of Israel and the establishment of an Islamic state in their BS nation. Go read Hamas charter!

Hamas also rejects any peaceful solution or coexistence with Israel, and considers any negotiation or recognition of Israel as a betrayal of its cause. They do not in any way represent the interests or aspirations of all Palestinians, but rather imposes its ideology and agenda on them by force. Oppresses its own people by imposing strict Islamic laws, restricting civil liberties. How's that for the people?

Innocent children do not die regularly shot by Israeli soldiers, but rather occasionally killed or injured by crossfire or collateral damage during armed clashes or operations. Israeli soldiers do not target or shoot innocent children deliberately or indiscriminately. Go read and see how Israeli soldiers also face constant threats and provocations from Palestinian militants who use children as human shields or recruits for their attacks .

Ukraine is entitled to fight back against Russia because Russia invaded Ukraine's sovereign territory without any justification or provocation. Russia violated Ukraine's territorial integrity and sovereignty by annexing Crimea in 2014 and supporting pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine in the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian War . Ukraine is defending itself from Russia's aggression and interference in its internal affairs. The situation in Ukraine is not comparable or relevant to the situation in Israel and Palestine. The conflict between Ukraine and Russia is not the same as the conflict between Israel and Palestine. The causes, dynamics, and solutions of the two conflicts are different and complex. You cannot use one conflict to justify or explain the other .
Simple sense!

Pls don't stop whatever you're smoking

REUBEN010:
Using 2000m drip, expect 4,000 - 5,500 stands.

Thanks

REUBEN010:
Spacing, plant population, day length, management, climatic and edaphic factors to a large extent determines yield.

2nd Quarter of this year, I got 74 crates on 3 plots with 2,000m drip tape (Cobra 26F1). Although there was some compromise on management, we hope to do better with subsequent batches.

Boss, do you have a rough estimate of plant population on that 3plots

the same cobra i sold last tuesday for 7.5-9K per crate was sold today for 13k. Price seems to be picking up gradually. Hopefully it remains so

omoniyisam:
Bros you no lie ... They even have some local that now looks like hybrid... I was shoked when my customer told me the price is now 10k here in osogbo o

seems like I'll be planting only during off season. the effort put in plating tomato is too much compared to the price they're buying here

Farmerakinloye6:
Pick few bags yesterday and sold 11.5k flat this morning.... harvest continue proper tomorrow.

Pls can i have your contact boss?

Farmerakinloye6:
Took cucumber to market this morning, grade 1 diva this morning range between 18-16k why plantinum 16-14k.

your market seems to be more farmer-friendly compared to osogbo here.
A crate of hybrid tomato goes for 10k here currently.
Those local tomato don cast market no be small

any update boss

Farmerakinloye6:
fine fine! Pix 1 is the Cobra just begin to flowers, pix 2 diva. Cobra appear friendly to grow, no too much foliage, never even prune at all. Unlike diva and plantinum that I will do minimum 2 times pruning during this weather.

looking forward to the yeild

Farmerakinloye6:
Land dry today took only plantinum to market and sold 12k flat..there was mad rush this morning!

baba how is the cobra f1 doing

[color=#990000][/color]

Farmerakinloye6:
Market continue to RED! I sold diva 12k why plantinum 9k.

boss how is your cobra f1 doing?
Lets compare with platinum and diva in terms of plant vigor, disease resistance, yeild, flowering habit et al

With this unavailability of hybrid seeds, people might be forced to plant f2 seeds. This coming dry season will be interesting. Despite being unavailable cobra f1 now sell for as high as 45k for a 50g can

wiseworld:
Yes same here in Ibadan there are many tomatoes in the market today ,I took 7crates to market in Ibadan.

pls how much did you sell per crate

what cultivar did you plant

Antibettings:
I planted like 6k stands of tomato now.

I noticed you're using maize stalks as mulch.... seems you're not planning to stake

OluchiDelly:
Seriously reaping you off! I m also in Osun. Anything called pepper is currently very scarce. I sell @ 9 to 10k per the big paint bucket.
Sometimes, we harvest like 2 buckets or a little above/less per every 5 days, from less than 400 stands that we experimented with. Next year by God's grace, we are going for at least 1 acre.
Pix at it's very early stage in April...

to get pepper and tomato is now a tug of war in osun oooo.
I pray the price remains favourable when my tomatoes matures by august

That pepper variety called bawa is notorious for heavy fruiting, especially if you planted f1 and also use manure as basal.

Veddywhite:
What I am saying is that there many farms that are not more than 5years and they own like 2 hilux few farm trucks….. why is it that we have trend of 3 years on nairaland and all I could see is 2plot of tomatoes on the same trend since 3years…. Is it that it not profitable or when them scale up they stop coming to nairaland? In fact my father gave some some land to cultivate tomatoes last year… they have expanded this year to a bigger space if I give those women 3years they will cultivate up 10acares soon… why is there no development in a trend of over 5yrs it still same 3plot of tomatoes or cucumbers or pepper

oga calm down, you've just answered your question above, when people upscale they naturally tend to become busier, hence you get less feedback from them.
a typical example is jethro2, okoroemeka just to name a few

picture, location and price
am in osogbo

Farmerakinloye6:
Did another nursery yesterday... first time I will be planting Cobra...let see if it Worth it .

I'd really like to know the outcome of this current project.
are you doing cobra 26 f1 or cobra 34 f1

Lovely

OluchiDelly:
when you have decided to choose the wrong path, why then are you asking for direction?

smiles

REUBEN010:
Not all components of NPK 15:15:15 will be absorbed through the leaves. You end up wasting the fertilizer while exposing your crops to leaf burn and disease attack. The remnants on the leaves will serve as breeding ground (infection court) for proliferation of fungal and bacterial diseases.

I think I'll experiment this on a few stand in my garden (not the main farm).


just curious

great farmers in the house, has anyone ever experimented with using NPK 15:15:15 as a foliar fertilizer?
I mean dissolving the usual NPK 15:15:15 granular fertilizer in water, then use the solvent as foliar

Seems the planting of tomato will not follow the usual pattern this year. Imagine how everywhere is dry by may. Its my opinion that tomato will be very expensive this year. Smart farmers will smile this year

Self control is a great gift, while silence in the face of provocation is divine

Mr. Mide, i've been following this project of yours since inception and g must confess its been an inspiration to me. I've been considering something similar but a bit different for a while {four years} now. My greatest challenge has been LAND. pls how did you go about acquiring that land? May God bless you sir.
