Psalmy2cute:

Where can I get this cucumber seed bro?

Any seed seller should have it. I bought it 2700 for 100grms.
The fruits get bigger, I was just impressed by the color I had to eat 1.

OluchiDelly:

From the pix, it shows thiis is the opv they call Jos.
Since this is not raining season, what made you draw the DM conclusion? Or did you see traces of DM in the plant/farm?

This is griffaton's supermarketer.
I'm usinga a swampy area so DM is expected.saw just2 instances of PM. Had to prune the infected leaves at about 4weeks, then sprayed fungicides and fertilizer, worked wonders.

So I'm liking my supermarketer trial...This is the most green cucumber I've ever harvested. The difference really is the manure. Land preparation continues. Downy mildew so far has no effect on the fruits.

Psalmy2cute:

Ofcourse you'll use mulch, bed weight size 120cm double row.. distance btw each plant 30cm distance btw bed 50cm

Y such a wide bed with so little spacing in-between?

So this was my supermarketer test plot.
They're coming in now at 6weeks and fruits are so green.
Thank God it was a success even with DM(I expected this from the swamp which was the reason for the test in the 1st place) and it seems systemic Fungicides work just fine.

Psalmy2cute:

The cultivar you're planting will speak for you....

I can't speak for cutivars but I don't have that mind o...I'm only confident about close spacing for cucumber close spacing.
My question is how will Weeding be done?

Psalmy2cute:
you can get up to 2000 plant with 30cm spacing .. double plant per bed

30cm is quite small for tomato and the disease pressure won't be funny, don't you think?

So I've started my dry season cucumber.
Circumstances won't allow complete planting yet.
So 1st batch land prep

Psalmy2cute:

30 to 32k depends on your area

Thanks.

Psalmy2cute:

I think efia is the best opv seed you'll find in the market,... some will even tell you it is better than most of these hybrid seeds from technicm...

I'm not even interested in hybrids fresh pepper.heard most still get devastated by bacteria and fungi so what's the point? I just need a nice fresh pepper with shombo-level disease resistance. I would be so made.Lol

Psalmy2cute:

Sellers contact 07068278983

Thanks

Psalmy2cute:

5 gram per sachet, minimum of 1100 seeds

That's expensive for an opv o.
Pls send me the contact of the seller. thanks.

Psalmy2cute:

I ordered mine from Ibadan at the rate of 1500 naira per sachet

Thanks
How many grams per sachet?

Psalmy2cute:

Efia (east west seeds)

Pls how much did you get it and where from?

Psalmy2cute:

Thank you very much.. I had this slant system in mind as well,.. I'll use 50cm

Alright. What cultivar are u planting?

Psalmy2cute:

What would you recommend then,?? 30cm 40cm 50cm 60cm?? @least what Is the minimum spacing you'll use for ata rodo.. if you're managing space

50cm Column by 50/60cm row in double rows with 1m walkway. I'm no expert though, just what I've deduced so far from the peppers I've seen. I think this spacing would work with more of a slant instead of planting right next to each other.

Psalmy2cute:

Could same spacing be used for ata rodo??

I don't think so.
Fresh pepper spreads more than shombo from what I've seen. Even this spacing I believe isn't ideal for shombo. I'm trying some out soon to get more Information. nursery already started.

Okra is something I like and is easy to care for but is only really profitable during the dry season

So I've tested out some crops this yr and I've discovered what I like...More posts to come

okoroemeka:
well super marketer will be cancelled out because it is longer than the normal marketer,that cuke is an opv variety from a not too known seed company,I can remember when we planted Gloria cabbage from technisen and it crashed but a friend planted the same Gloria cabbage but the seeds were bought from Jos and it was a Danish company that made that Gloria cabbage seed and my farmer friend smiled to the bank,I have a strong suspicion that the cucumber variety is an opv variety probably from continental, Amira,chia Thai,etc, less known seed companies.

Pls do you know the name of the Dutch company?

Seedworld:

OluchiDelly:

Your location?

Benin city

Does anyone please know where to get good quality neem oil? I believe the only problem I had was infestation by those red and black bugs. Always mating on my plants...chai

my2chains:


i think forliar spray seems to work very well with okro plants,

but the okro you planted is it the dwarf variety or just the normal type?

Yeah. I think it's cuz the leaves are soft,also broad.

Some are dwarf, some are a bit tall, say 2m.
The taller ones delayed for about a week to 2 weeks after the shorter ones started production.
I saw up to 4 different cultivars.

okoroemeka:
not possible,even cucumbers don't mature in a month

I've actually had okra mature in 5weeks during the dry season.just seeds from d market and foliar feeding along with fungicide and pesticides. No manure or fertilizer.tho it was just my test plot... also a virgin land.
