Exactly! Dissolve the fertilisers with sufficient water in large barrel and then connect to drip irrigation using the venture.

Pls it there any need to calculate numbers of drops the ventury has to release as flow pass by

okoroemeka:
you don't need to apologise this is the people's and farmers thread,any information that is beneficial is very welcome, even the obvious wacky ideas can sometimes work.

Ask the guy how much is logistics to your location
It will amaze you!

Simplyleo:
Absolute nonsense and ingredients.

Obviously for the gullible ones who know next to nothing about energy. Someone up there is already talking about govt turning blind eye, lol. As expected.

The only way water can generate electricity is through dam or any waterfall where it hits a turbine blade thereby turning it and ultimately converting potential energy to electrical energy. Or water being forced to drive a turbine as in gas stations. But in this case, the energy forcing the water must come from somewhere.

But for a portable generator running on water as fuel, 100% impossible.

Pls if you know nothing about physical sciences, just hold your peace, don't bother quoting me.

The first man to make such scientific breakthrough of creating energy out of nothing will be a multibillionair in few weeks.

Are you not aware that water is H2O which when separated hydrogen and oxygen is derived.
Hydrogen is highly combustible which can be used as fuel..
Only the process they say is complex and expensive
If the guy found a cheaper way to break it down then bravo!!
Nothing is impossible..even d word impossible when separated mean im-possible

Study more bro..

Wizs2019:
So my people total harvest numbers from this cucumber planting season:

Jorad section: 146 bags
Cu999 section : 324 bags
Total harvest: 470 bags

We didn't quite make the 500 bags but I am so grateful to God. More than 100% return on total investment in approximately 8 weeks. However there is plenty of room for improvements. Another area of my farm is currently been prepared, it is slightly smaller at about 4 plots than the one used to get the quoted harvest, but the target this time is 500 bags.

Wish me luck!

PS. Bros Emeka, have you planted yet? You definitely need to install drip irrigation on your farm because with this system in place you can definitely get your target of 50 bags over an half plot area (and with fertigation it should be relatively easy). I am working on putting some useful material (cucumber planting instructions, best practices and the recipe I am currently using and still developing) together for the public audience in this thread. Watch this space!

My God bless you
for your willingness

Pls to the boss on this thread how do I use ridomil gold effectively (or red force) to fight DM
What dose how early from sowing and how often till end of harvest
Do I need to add other fungucide because of much rain
Thank you in advanced sir...

I will respond as long as it is not chemical or anything which can cause infection. Or not too exhausting when I know the person can also learn it but not just interested.

Basal is the foundation, formed from the word base. The first nutrient needed by plants is phosphorus. For cash crops, I gat recipes that will still be there for years. The first stage of plants is the root, and phosphorus get it done. Then, Nitrogen build is needed for chlorophyll which builds stem and leaves. In addition, little pottasium is needed. DAP means Di-Ammonium Phosphate. It supplies Ammonia as Nitrogen, and Phosphate as Phosphorus. SSP means Single Superphosphate. I prefer TSP - Triple Superphosphate as it has 3 times P of SSP. I got a brand of TSP from Kenya one time when a Kenya agro specialist partnered with me on a project. If you know how to formulate fertilizer very well, you should dump all required P in the soil before you sow seeds so you do not need to ever add P again cos P is always locked in the soil. This is why experts are so concerned about P more than K in the soil. Also, N must be in your soil. But the issue is that N evaporates, so anyone who fertigates is at advantage. K also evaporates and it's why N and K are applied to soil mainly via drip. And then, good farmers apply calcium to soil esp to correct PH. You should only add more Calcium through fertigation or via foliar only if you can't add enough before you reached the optimum PH level. Or if you notice that salt accumulation may kill microbes or interfere with your plants.

Big Secret
How do you calculate what your plants need? You must know the total kg of N, P, and K and all other nutrients. For example, an expert for a crop sent the following to me: [i]Nutrient requirement is 220kg Nitrogen [/b]. This is all I need to know. He does not need to tell me the quantity of P or K or all micro nutrients..Just from this statement I can formulate basal, vegetative, flowering, fertigation, side dressing, etc using different kinds. ..npk 20 10 10, ssp, dap, npk 15 15 15, MOP, MPK, Epsom Salt, etc. If you do not know how to go about this, you will keep asking how many grams of dap? How many grams of NPK? Two people asked me this same question when I first wrote about DAP, and I pointed them to where to research. I mean how do I start teaching you the maths? But it is very easy. One picked it, and returned. He was so happy cos I released a life time solution for him. And he was able to start proper discussion. And I know it was going to be the first and the last discussion cos he definitely does not need me again to formulate anything. But really it took him like a week to unravel the mystery. And he would return, and I continued helping him. It was easy for me to discuss with him. How do I explain to someone who does not understand the concept?

On the other hand, the second guy kept asking.....how many grams of dap, how many grams of ssp. I gave him that of Tomato from basal to fruiting based on his cultivar. And then, he wanted me to start all over with cucumber and Eggplant. And that was when I told him that oga leave me alone. You cannot kill me. lol. Ha ba! Go learn am yourself. If I see the person is elderly or has challenges, of course I have ways of attending to them. I can just tell the person to give me more time. But this person is smart, sound, and he still wanted me to do the all work for him. It does not work that way. These secrets I dish out to interested people during training are too many. Do not ever rush to the bush. Get the theory first. And almost everyone wants me to be telling them again and again grams, grams, grams. Even to read instruction on the pack of chemical is a big problem for many. How do I keep telling everyone to use this grams and that grams? It is just too exhausting. (I am taking my time to explain here so you people do not get annoyed when I don't respond at times. It is exhausting and tiring answering the same question to multiple people daily in different dimensions)..Some will say...hey..
I have npk 15 15 15 only...help me formulate. Ha ba! lol!

The content of N in Urea, DAP, NPK 20 10 10, NPK 15 15 15, Calcium Nitrate, Potassium Nitrate, etc are all different.. Another issue is that Nitrate is different from Nitrogen. When I say NPK 15 15 15, the figure means 15% of N, 15% of PO2, and 15% of KO3. You still need to break all these down into pieces. Lack of basic skill like this is why 99.9% African farmers cannot do hydroponics. These are tricks I wanted to find ways to download in this thread, but the attack I received from bush practical farmers who are faster than Xerox copiers especually on the 1st page made me to just pull back. Sir, Agric is sweet when you really understand the concepts behind it..

For me, it's passion. And it is why I just can write epistles. Hehehe!

I prefer organic soil preparation. I am improving on it daily as this is my focus.

Thank you sir
I think I am getting it ..I will try my best

Please sir can you please trow more light on the meaning of DAP and SSP in basal formulation....pls don't be offended for bieng late to ask .. thank you

Burat**I...oya fight for us

netpro:
I am sure if Atiku had proposed it, most of those wailing will find reasons to accept it.

To curb herdsmen clashes with farmers, they need to settle in a place. So why are States and communities giving them leprosy treatment? Even if you rear the cattle up north you still need to keep them alive in the south till they are sold.

Who's money are they using to execute this project

Emrixx:
Hmmm adonko bitters if u know u know

How you take sabi am like this

FMCASH:
3 sachet (75 grams) to 16 litres
4 to 5wks or when you notice the deficiency

Thank you

DeLaRue:
I use 6 - 8 table spoons per large paint bucket of water. Some might use more than that, but I like to play it safe.

As for regularity, I only use once or twice during the lifetime of a cucumber plant. Excessive magnesium may interfere with the plants ability to take in other nutrients.

More importantly, if your plants are green and lush and showing no signs of distress, you should ask yourself if there's any need to apply magnesium.

Thank you so much

FMCASH:
Manure
Espom salt
Staking will do the job.
Spraying organic that contains beneficial microbes its not bad too

Pls what is the quantity of the Epsom salt when to start using it and how often

Following with keen interest

okoroemeka:
Total monalisa,first pic and total cu999,last pic,I just pity any farmer that plants monalisa,cu 999 yielded 97% of the cucumbers we harvested today was cu 999,we got 7 bags and I doubt if it's monalisa we planted through we may not have up to 2 bags,the results surprised even us,I know that cu999 will win but I didn't forsee a comprehensive demolition

Wao.. great results!
the cu999 look so dark green not always the case for cu999 .. could it be as a result of cross pollination?

Pistotita:
I really want to write about gardening (not for profit), but not sure how to go about it. Don't know if I can get suggestion on how to do it?

Pls do it here for us if possible
I have been a silent reader of your posts and I must confess it has moved me higher..
May God continue be with you amen

The man is special, read TB Joshua story too, these are people with extraordinary gifts. From their childhood you will discover they are special ones. And op you can do better by completing the story for others to read.

I read somewhere that he was physically challenged, didn't marry, had an assistant a lady called Abiodun...

Yes ..and coincidentally TB Joshua is from the same place with Orimolade Moses

I have noticed that Murano 2 f1 can comfortably produce 10 fruits and above with a very good fertilization program.

50g of Kenzo 2 f1 when I bought mine was 6700 naira.

Please how can I get this kenzo2f1 to buy
