The difference is clear. There are only two cucumber varieties i know, Murano and the others

jethro2:
Murano F2 and pointsett varieties at harvest today. Thee longer cucumber is murano. The advantage of Murano F2 over the other variety is that it matures at five and a half weeks while the other varieties matured at 7 weeks. Murano also produce bigger cucumber than pointsett and marketer. The disadvantage is that Murano is quite expensive.

In recent times gamification has been used to learn new skills, however I always thought improving knowledge of Agriculture in Africa using gamification is not possible until I played the Farm Defenders game. The Farm Defender is a 3D farm simulation game spanning the entire continent of Africa that lets you create farms in every environment, from the lush tropics to the barren deserts. Grow your crops and become wealthy all while preventing disease, pests, and maximizing yield using real-life African farming techniques sustainably.

About 61 countries were represented there bro, wished I had attended!

Pappyshoes:
You've just said it all, Thanks. I can't even count the number of white men who came to display products and Services, Indians, Germans, Americans, Dutchs, etc. If agriculture is not lucrative, why will these guys leave their country to come &stay in Nigeria? Agriculture is the way.

Thanks for starting this thread OP. First I NEVER wanted to study Agriculture...I turned down an admission to study physics and had to do a one-year Pre-Degree just to end up studying Soil Science and Meteorology instead of the Engineering I wanted to study! But am proud to be a farmer today, really proud...Read my experiences on AGric and be inspired: http://kalusam./

@world1 something like this?

Its so funny as I read several posts of people wanting to see live chicken or their droppings! Seems you guys have never been to a poultry farm before, or how will you explain hosting your visitors inside a stinking poultry house? Let's be realistic, Poultry business is not only about the birds...it has a lot to do with feeds, vitamins, medications, incubators, automatic housing, drinking systems, debeakers, and the list goes on and on. Let's face reality, agriculture is not for those that talk about it but those that actually practice it.

Am proud to call myself a poultry farmer!

Boss, never knew you also into Livestock ooo, nice one.

Pappyshoes:
It's the congregation of stakeholders in the livestock industry both local and foreign partners, feedmillers, dealers in poultry drugs, vaccine, cages, additives etc. Great companies like Animal Care.Services Konsult, Obasanjo Farms, Agrited, Topfeed, Hybrid Feeds, Amo Byng, Diversay Solutions etc. Each participates in the exhibition, you meet people,farmers, distributors, connect clients, buy products, and make business friends. Product launching, lectures etc. You'll be glad you are a farmer.

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has advised loan seekers under its N220 billion micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME) credit to report anybody or financial institution demanding money for application form for the loan to the Department of Development Finance at the apex bank’s Corporate Headquarters in Abuja or any of its branches across the country or any law enforcement organization.
The action, according to a statement by the CBN Director of Corporate Communications, Mr. Ibrahim Muazu, had become necessary because while the application form for the loan remains free, it had come to the notice of the bank that some criminal elements have been going about defrauding unsuspected members of the public, fleecing them of their hard earned monies under the pretense that they would secure loans for them.

Closely related to common rhizome: Ginger, it grows underground and has loads of health benefits and also used as a spice.

world1:
Turmeric comes from the root of curcuma longa plant and has a tough brown skin and a deep orange flesh. This herb has a peppery warm and bitter flavor and mild fragrance, slightly reminiscent of orange and ginger to which it is related.

The rhizomes or under ground stem, have a rough segmented skin. The length of the main rhizome is approximately 2.5cm-7cm (1-3inches) in length, with a diameter of 2.5cm (1inch) with distinct nodes and smaller tubers branching off.
