Another thing I noticed from that farm is their no nonsense aggressive pruning of leafs and branches,,my brother each crop is just left with 20-30% of the leafs remaining , everything else is stripped bare, unlike your farm that has all the original leafs left on it.

Obatobi1:
I have about 8000 stands,
and its on 4 plots

8000 stands in 4 plots that will be 2000 crops per plot,the drip tape used will definitely be 30cm to accommodate such plant density,it will be a tight fit ,I have a feeling that 2000 crops per plot is too much,I am gathering up research to plunge into tomatoes by January,what spacing did you use to get 2000 crops in one plot,I am considering a choice of Padma and garnhar varieties,pics from a farm planted with the garnhar variety and I can't believ
e what I am seeing,I don't even know it is possible for tomatoes to bear such yield

myBraine:
I don't understand

What's the agenda behind these protests?

Protesting against policing of the Nigerian people

I am in shock.

they are not protesting against policing but the cruel and wicked ways these sars police handle people,if not they were chased and videoed they have already shot that guy and made away with his SUV,many people that are currently missing is a direct result of the atrocities this people commit,they kill people like Christmas goat and nothing happens,some years back sars akwuzu killed and dumped 58 bodies in ezu river and nothing happened,

Life is beautiful, why will you take that away from yourself so young, cutting your journey half way is not pretty, you know you still have a lot to do, ups and downs of life that is how the scale is... right now am typing on a scale of broken glass, if it is too late so sorry if it is not, this is your second chance to life don't do it... life is so beautiful beyond what you can imagine....

life is not all beautiful when you go to bed hungry at night, with no idea were the next meal will come from,some days are like that,you cannot prevent someone that has made up his or her own mind to commit suicide from doing so, some people has a very weak mind that trivial issues can cause them to kill themselves heartbreak, economic conditions,even one died last week because she lost her phone,can you believe that,a phone that is replaceable,in my own opinion I don't think there is any need for a sucide help center or hotline, anybody that wants to die should be allowed to do so,after all freedom to die is also a fundamental human Right

Okoroawusa:
What is happening?

I Love PMB

the idea and foundation was laid by good luck Jonathan in company with rochas , Peter obi and the transport minister,it's a pity it took PMB almost 6 yrs to start operation,moreover total credit is going to Mr George muoghalu he is director of waterways or something like that,he is the one vthat is making this to happen,not PMB.

how many cucumbers fruits will make a complete bag ..... I sold about 74pics of cucumbers in a bag to a retailer and she said it's must be hundred pics all big sizes ..... that's how she buys from ubolo in Enugu State @5500 please anybody in that area should confirm this,,am a newbie..

considering she is buying #5500, putting 100 cukes will not be too bad, providing you find a way of putting 100 big size cukes in one bag,what you will do is mix the very big ones with medium sizes so it will enter inside one bag with cap on it,but I am still doubtful if you can bag 100 big cukes in one bag,from the pics below you get 4 coach's of 20-23 cukes in one bag + the cap making it roughly 90 cukes,

It is very wise to fear the unpredictability of a marijuana smoker,the police took a smart move to diffuse the potential volatile situation that may arise if the marilan general comes out with his army of smokers,it is a very good general that wins a war without fighting.and for the police the end justifies the means.

She is mentally unstable. And the unfortunate thing is we have people like her policing us , charge with the responsibility of protecting lives and properties. People that are supposed to be in correctional and rehabilitation centres.

You think all these SARS are mentally ok?

she is not mentally unstable,it is the junk they take to get high that is causing the mental instability, imagine if you inhale pit toilet fumes,rubber solution used by vulcnizers ,PVC gum,etc,I am assuring you that the bolts holding her head together was undone by the exotic cocktail of different chemicals they use,it is quite a satrical humour to ban folks from drinking alcohol and allow them to eat shit to get high.

Oga how can I get this cu999 seed in enugu

what you need in enugu is cu999,check my WhatsApp no up there

Giantfarmer:
pls I sir emeka can you give me F1 generation seeds to buy I can't afford to buy the original cu986now pls

WhatsApp 0+8+1+1+9+9+4+2+0+4+9,it's the F2 generation you mean

In some places in igboland such death is a taboo and she might not even be buried but left to rot in the forest,it is a sacrilege to take your own life in igboland

mickelkingz:
how much?

whatever you do never plant marketer in a commercial farm,you can plant a few with the hybrids to help in pollination but from intensive practicals we conducted we found out that apart from poor yields and longer maturity periods,marketer cucumbers succumbs easily to fungal diseases and will eventually transfer it to the hybrids ,we have rejected the use of marketer even as a pollinating agent,better to use cu 999 or 986 with the gyno cucumber varieties.

This is the result of a PLANTIX diagnosis and the treatment below,you cannot get carbendazim alone but you will see it in mixture with mancozeb(funguforce/saaf),also that copper stuff can also be replaced with copper oxide like tandem, redforce or ridomil,mix this two fungicide funguforce or saaf + redforce or ridomil,than add punch insecticide and foliar fertlizer and apply weekly

my pepper leaf is falling off ,the lower part of it.
please what's the solution?

cc okoroemeka
cc Farmtech

if you can get pictures it will help to better evalute the situation

Safari farms is playing nandini against cu986,I think it's better to wait for him to give his own results and findings but nevertheless I have already placed my bet on the CU to win,so no going back.

bassey25:
Please, What's the difference between cu99 and cu986 in terms of yield, vigour and disease resistance. Thanks

there is no visible difference between the two in terms of plant vigour and disease resistance but the obvious differences comes up during fruiting,cu 999 will produce an average yield of greenish cucumbers (if fertilized well) with light whitish stripes and very big sized,we have measured one at 40.7 cm, while cu 986 will produce an astonishing high yield of medium sized,light green cucumbers that rarely exceed 20-22 cm in length,I stand to be corrected but I think the cu 999 is a mean machine.

mobolaji234:
LOL... Ugu is also high value esp during dry season. Thanks for your contribution Sir. Pls can I get your whatsapp contact

0811+9942+049 WhatsApp or call

Giantfarmer:
hi great Farmers pls help

can I alternate fowl dropping for cow
dung in cultivating cucumbers ..cus
fowl dropping is scarce in my area if
yes how can I use it and what is the effect

cow manure is the coldest of all cold manure and I don't think it is a good idea to us it exclusively,pig manure is a better alternative after chicken manure.

mobolaji234:
Bro, do you have any idea on ugu cultivation to share with me?

there is no special method of planting ugu except your plant spacing and staking which will be a game changer,I don't see the need to involve and waste my time and energy in any crop that is not high value,why doing ugu while I know pepper, tomatos,eggplant ,melon has almost similar maturity vperiod or cucumbers that have even less,I look at ugu farming as a job for retired pensioners and women, farmers like us need serious challenges with vegetable crops that give farmers nightmares.

oguguo20:
oga Emeka which seed command good market at relief market in lmo state

cu 999,imo state is the hometown of Thai agro and allied industries that unleashed the variety on unsuspecting farmers, it is cu 999 or nothing in anambra and imo state.

If when the final trumpet blows and we all line up to be judged with the same people that is living in that country it will be sheer partiality because this people are already living in paradise on Earth and we are in hell on Earth

Maybe it is due to the fact that melon is called ogbanje crop for a reason, problems can just come out anytime without sign,cause or remedy in sight,a healthy greenish melon farm can turn yellow overnight and die completely in 4-5 days,it is unlike cucumbers that if you plant you must harvest,melon farming is 50/50 probability.

It's very sad but tragically incidents like this will only keep increasing due to the effects of the new drug in town crystal meth or meth in the igbo dialect,this generation of young men has smoked Indian hemp to the point it is looked upon like cigarettes,it is only hard drugs like meth is giving the needed highness and kick and with it strange and violent hallucinations,

safarifarms:
Just planted the cu986 this afternoon. Nandini will be planted on Monday. Didn't have enough courage to buy more of the cu986.

Will update as it goes.

I am placing my bet that cu 986 will perform better than nandini,we have planted it before by mistake thinking it was cu999,the yield was very high indeed,we will wait and see the outcome of this challenge

IamAsiri:
Please how do you make your square holes sir? Do you make them with the aid of a machine?

my worker Emma with a good shovel in his hands can do more than 500 holes a day.

greatbuc:
Pure murder. The crime scene is very unrelated to suicide. The killers did a very poor job.
Pointers:
He was probably killed before his body was lifted to the noose.. See the folded part on his trouser indicating he was lifted.
No stool or block to have giving him the height he needed to hang himself. How did he climb up to the noose?? If you say the hole in the walls then he should have been facing backwards and his foot should also be dusty and bruised.
He is scared of dying from covid by wearing a mask but took his life by hanging? Haba. Poor job by the criminals.. Let them check how much was left for him to complete the instalment money.. Some people fit kill person so the bike will be theirs even when the instalment money is almost completed.

very good observation just like Sherlock Holmes,the poor guy was definitely murdered, another clear pointer is the lack of urine stains,every hang victim always pee when the noose gets tighter,even many male victims can ejaculate hot steaming sperm on themselves.

3 plots for a start is not too risky, especially now we still have rain,but I will point out a few oversights,you will need hire labour for some jobs like planting,you can't possibly plant 3 plots alone,looks like you are the one doing the land preparation, because if a labourer does ridges like that he must be sacked,that double row on the ridges is not a good idea the foliage will come fast and thick and there will be no ventilation,then downy mildrew and powdery will come hard,also your spacing looks too far apart 30-40cm is best,seems you have access to poultry manure but your planting hole looks shallow,a good rainfall will cover the holes and you need that holes for manure application at least 3-4 times application ,because you have poultry farm,also plan to start staking immediately after planting,once the seed is in the ground it is a race between the farmer and the cucumber,the pics below is how we do holes to contain sizeable quantities of manure,also the ridging type,planting and staking pics is for futher illustration .

calixjabs:
due to how expensive Nandini F1 seeds is can there be any alternative apart from cu999,that does not sell in my location.
I stay in rivers state

cu 986 or kayin F1 will give you similar if not more better results than nandini, especially that cu 986 the yield is incredibly crazy,I hope safarifarms will give us updates about the progress of the cu 986 project,many farmers in the south south are confused which variety to plant due to the selective nature of their market,

bassey25:
Please at what quantity in grams per hole.? And can pig manure be mixed with poultry manure too

yes,you can mix the two,it helps to reduce and neutralize the burning power of chicken manure,we are even mixing today to apply on pepper,after mixing one full hand of manure is ok per planting hole.

aquadude15:
Caterpillar are boring and spoiling my cucumber fruit.
pls what can I use

caterpillars are the easiest to eradicate,get sharp shooter at 30 ml per knapsack that caterpillar will turn to danfo
