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

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?

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.

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.

don't even think about that trust me it will not work,the farm will be doomed before even starting,most most pepper fruits you will get in the market is hybrid and if you recycle the seed it' will not work properly and other fruits will be from old farms that are already infected by numerous diseases and from those seeds you pass the infection to your farm,just forget about that idea,go and get technisem Safi it's cheap.

How do I get the "Safi" variety because they don't have a lot of seed in Benin city. Don't see people doing much else than cassava.Lol

we have done a batch that was topped and already flowering before it was transplanted out on the field,I guess it can stay 3 -4 weeks maximum before it became root bound.

How many weeks before flowering?

if you read wiz2019 posts you will see that he planted 2 varieties for the mile 12 market ,jorad and cu 999,and the jorad got better prices than the cu 999,just go and plant Murano 2f1 and save yourself unnecessary headaches.

I've finally seen his post.A bit surprised though. There's one dey call baby cucumber in my city. Do you know the name of the variety?

you don't need to buy all at once and keep, when starting a project we have a scale of preference,we get the ones that is needed that particular time like wormforce,then we plant,for 4500 plants you need 2300 holes at 2 gram per hole you have 4.6 kg and it's sold for #1700 per kg pack,you will use roughly 3 bags of rope,for the others just buy 1 pack or tin of everything after using you buy another.for fertilizer just get one bag.

Thanks a lot.will start purchasing some of the items ASAP

opv cucumbers is not a good idea in commercial production,it takes too long to mature 55 days and will have a running battle with DM,find a hybrid that has the same size and shape of the opv like darina,Tokyo or kenzo,or at least don't try pointsett,marketer is the best among the 3.

Thanks.
Which of the hybrids would you recommend with good DM resistance and dark skin? And how can I get it? Cuz I've not seen a single hybrid over here.

I've read kenzo F1 has strong disease resistance and dark color.does it get bitter or require other pollinators?

have you tried this tactics before,try out a little before going full scale,that bag looks like it will melt if watered seriously.
I intend to try it this yr. "I can't play bet9ja" with 10plots.
If it's not doable I'll find an alternative.

Thanks... straining it has been so difficult. Land prep on the way, gonna plant soon.Only OPV sell over here from what I've seen. Pointsett,marketer, marketmore. So that's what I'm gonna plant.my test pllot earlier in d to yr did quite alright.

we don't strain it no need,just add water to get it slurry like and that palm bunch ash is not a bad idea at all,it will stablize the pH level and push much needed phosphorus in the soil.

I heard it contains a lot of potassium (potash was actually made from wood Ash), calcium and magnesium so I just had to get it. Also thinking of mulching with this.

okoroemeka:
I don't think that's possible,a seedling will mature in 55-60 days from transplant,so you see if it stays 3 months in a bag it will be root bound
pls would it still be root bound to biodegradable bags because that's what I had in mind?
