I called the line, he said they don't sell Cucumber seed.

sorry it's my fault, he is a farm manager that buys things from diekololo farm shop he will better direct you

funsoul:
Be very sure it is actually nutrient deficiency. I had something similar during last rainy season (around week 4). I had already applied mgso4 around week 3 and decided 2 apply it again thinking it wasn't enough.Used mgso4 with d other fertilizers. Rather than improving it kept on spreading to d points where d leaves were browning n drying off
On making further research I found out that insects attack (spider mites in particular r responsible). It was rainy season so felt I shouldn't b having any insect attack but alas when I checked d undersides I saw something that looked like black dots n even tiny black looking insects.
I also got to know that imidacloprid makes it worse(I had already applied it by then)
They r very difficult to eradicate.U can make further research on it

you are very correct,red spider bite is another problem that farmers constantly overlook,we have encountered it on our garden eggfarm and we used dd force for it and it worked,or miteforce also hallkat will work also.

Start with a good idea.
Zhengzhou Huaqiang, China's most high-quality fertilizer granulator manufacturer, provides you with the best quality and cheapest fertilizer granulation equipment and favorable fertilizer granulator machine price, tailor-made and reasonable complete fertilizer production line, we successfully sold fertilizer equipment to all parts of the world.

Organic fertilizer production process:
In organic fertilizer production line https://www.zzhqhi.com/production-line/bio-organic-fertilizer-production-line.html ,it is to be equipped with the different organic fertilizer granulation machine. The fertilizer mixer machine and fertilizer crusher machine to deal with the raw materials.We can use the chain crusher machine,and the horizontal mixer machine to deal with the organic raw materials.Next,when producing the organic fertilizer granulator,the fertilizer granulator machine are necessary to be equipped in the fertilizer manufacturing process.

NPK compound production process:
In npk fertilizer production line https://www.zzhqhi.com/production-line/npk-compound-fertilizer-production-line.html ,we can use the rotary drum granulator machine which it is also to be equipped in organic fertilizer production line to finish the production process of the npk fertilizer granulator.The rotary drum granulator machine generally to be used by using the wet granulation method to finish the production process in npk manufacturing process https://www.zzhqhi.com/production-line/npk-compound-fertilizer-production-line.html .This point is different from the double roller granulator machine that it is usually to use the dry granulation method to produce the fertilizer granulator.

Bio organic fertilizer production line:
There,in bio organic fertilizer production https://www.zzhqhi.com/production-line/bio-organic-fertilizer-production-line.html line,we can use the fertilizer granulator machine to finish the granulation process,the fertilizer granulator machine https://www.zzhqhi.com/fertilizer-granulator-machine-series/ type to be designed different type,we can choose the suitable fertilizer granulator machine type to finish the granulation process.

this type of turnkey machines is theain reason 80% of the fertilizer in Nigeria today are fake, unscrupulous people just use the machine to mould clay soil into pellets,mix it with urea and sell at #3500 naira a bag.

GavelSlam:
Hmmm.

If it wasnt typed in 1983, why the figures in ink?

I also doubt such figures were being donated in 1983.

No vex.

pls don't doubt the igbo man when it comes to money matters,anyway that no 5 is my inlaw Eze M O kanu,ochirizuo of arndizuogu, Imo state,he imports stockfish in shiploads then and the owner of agura hotels Abuja,a very very wealthy man .

Sambai65:
@benuejosh what is update on your bambara nut storage

the update is that Bambara nut storage is lucrative,very lucrative,benuejosh bought his B nuts at #17000 per bag in January,I personally checked the price in anambra state 2 days ago and it was #30,000 for a bag of carro white B nuts,we are gearing for the storage next season,come hell,l come high water.

Hasib04:
Do well to show us how you do it sir.

we are still even trying to learn how to use that,but what we noticed is that if you sprinklevon cucumber leafs it will burn it,so soil application is the only way.

If you look at the nutrients chart you will agree with me that wood Ash will be beneficial to a heavy feeder like cucumbers,we have already mixed wood Ash from a nearby oil mill into the manure we will apply tomorrow on our crops and see what will happen

To solve this problem plantic recommended inorganic fertilizer that will contain calcium, magnesium and potassium,but let us tell yourselves the truth is it possible for a local farmer to get such materials,even the common NPK 201010 in the market is fake moulded clay,let's look at the second organic option which is wood Ash, interestingly this common overlooked material has all three elements and more,it will be a perfect substitute for costly fertilizers

Plantix results

Many farmers has planted cucumbers,applied manure and fertilizer but still the crops will still have yellowish older leafs, obviously it cannot be foliar disease and the only culprit is nuritent deficiency but which one,so we used the planting app and the results came in magnesium and potassium deficiency are the two culprits.

Hasib04:
Thanks I bought two pack last year, I haven't use it, I saw it when I'm looking for something else's in the house, hope 50g will be okay for 16L Sir?

yes,50 grams is the dosage for knapsack

Hasib04:
Can I use ridomil Gold if I couldn't get of Z-force?

that ridomil gold is far better than zforce,it is both contact and systemic actions,while zforce is only contact.why we use zforce is due to availability of ridomil around our axis.

Funjosh:
I didn't get the place.

090+2384+5593 call this no,

RTSC:
Where is the Federal ministry of agriculture?

I am sorry there is nothing like that in Nigeria,I cannot forget the day revenue collectors came from okigwe to our farm to collect tax,a farm that has no roads,light or water,I gave them the option of waiting and seeing the business end of our shotgun or fleeing back to their useless office,they decided to be reasonable and flee.

[quote author=Me4bas post=91330337][/quote]farming is lucrative if done properly and according to the rules,imagine what you get from one seed planted at the end,if you use calculator to be multiply and add before even planting it will make you lose focus with the big picture,which is good agricultural practice,I have seen farmers that embark on an hectare project after typing calulator and the job ends up stopping Midway due to lack of funds and materials,many cucumber farms are crawling on the ground due to lack of funds for proper staking,many rookie farmers will want to make millions from farming but lose focus and sound judgement,a well managed 2-3 plots of land to me is better than a poorly managed 1 hectare.

Funjosh:
Cucumber farmers in Abeokuta, and where can I get cucumber seed to plant.

we have done a project in abeokuta and usually get some of our inputs from diekololol farm shop,near police headquarters,elewaran.,on your right going to funnab.

Hasib04:
Good evening, I want to ask between direct sowing and nursery of cucumber seed which is the best?

Someone told me, he planted seed all of it germinated but after 7 days some of them will just cut or die off.

direct sowing is best,if you transplant especially in the dry hot season the mortality rate can hit 50% or more,even the survivors will not grow for at least one week because of shock,the cause of that cutting is caterpillars,they hid in small holes during the day to aviod birds and other predators,but come out at night to feed on the young leafs ,spray sharp shooter ,caterpillar force or any good insecticide on the crop to stop such.

The pics below is prove beyond reasonable doubt that planting the correct seed is a big factor in winning the battle front on the farm,the pics shows side by side comparison between red/yellow scorpion and common hausa danjarawa or rodo,the bigger fruits are the scorpions while the smaller ones are the local variety,if you are still thinking about using local pepper let it be clear to you that the farmer that planted high performance variety will harvest 40-50% more fruits from his farm with same number of crops with the local seed

All nah just plenty talk MultiChoice can't dump EPL and champions league

When they know that that's what is still keeping them in business

That EPL and champions league right just be like their pot of gold the number of adverts alone sef don do them to make profit


If not for their greediness how can they be complaining again when they are operating in a monopoly

350 million dollars is a lot of money, billions of naira,the company is facing economic realities and have to make tough choices,the question is if they pay such huge amount can they get it back from adverts and subscription almost 100+ billion naira,they may just drop the damn thing and manage whatever revenue they will get

A journey of 1_3 hrs is now a nightmare of 4-5 days,i really made a mistake asking one of the stranded drivers what do he have to say about the present goverment i was nearly strangled.

It was a very bad day today that i have the misfortune to pass through a road called enugu to onitsha expressway,its quite an irony if this stretch of muddy quagmire is an idea of a highway it befuddles the minds,an unbroken chain of big trucks line the swamp called highway from ugwuoba(enugu state) to awka(anambra state)a distance of nearly 15-20kilometers,i was nearly moved to tears to see the level of suffering by drivers on the roads,most have stayed 4-5 days because of the nearly impassable natture of the roads,it makes one to wonder if this is not a delibrate ploy to stifle economic growth in the south east because this road links two capital cities enugu and awka to onitsha a commercial nerve centre and yet the federal goverment has the money and efforntery to plan another useless satelliate launch and to finance an absurd socialist agenda by paying people to do nothing,it is best left for you to look and decide by yourself that nigerian leadership has misplaced priorities,i left off the most graphic pictures to aviod offending sensitive minds.

The above vehicle is needed,if you have a fairly clean one pls contact,whatapp 0+8+1+1+9+9+4+2+0+4+9

Obviously the man is a sadist and also sadly has serious mental issues,for a man to bind a woman,use pliers to tear out her hair ,then remove her eyes and then stabbed her 11 times,no type of crime warrant this type of punishment even if the wife cheated which is fairly common this days it will never deserve such ordeal,but seriously any man considering marriage in this social media era will have a mind not to poke into most things and always have an open mind,if you are hot tempered,insecure or jealous work on yourself first before planning to get married because you end up dead or in prison.

Bobby4090:
Read between the lines where he said former NWC members are free to contest in 6 months time. Could it mean Oshiomhole is coming back for a fresh 4 year term. This country is funny indeed and the more I look the less I see. Am just as confused as any onlooker.
I won't be surprised if the deal with former NWC members is.... Don't go to court to challenge the dissolution and in return in 6 months time we'll back your re-election.

that is excatly what happened and the party hierarchy will use that six months to blow out disloyal members,it is just a ploy to let the dust settle

Kemyrolex:
You are right sir.
It's a great adjuvant, I've seen some good results.
Like you rightly said, we can do without it.

it is a good product no doubt about that if you use it for what it is meant for,the manufacturer of the product did not lable it as a fertlizer,it is written vbold and clear on the pack that it is a wetting agent,I have seen a lady fish farmer rendered almost destitute by using super gro in her fish pond the whole fishes died a lose of almost #400k,it is dealers that misled farmers to use it for what it not meant for,I am still seeing adverts for super gro that it will be used for animal feed,what concern animal growth with wetting agent.

Wild cats,civets(small leopardlike cat),rats,these are your likely culprits

benardj3:
pls sir, in the absence of Haifa bonus , what other foiler fertilizer can be used ,cause no one seems to know about Haifa bonus here in Jos

it's surprising to hear such because Jos is the vegetable capital of Nigeria,but use maxiforce,agrovert,boostxtra,di grow,plantzyme,etc

Seems like you no longer use binding wire in staking.

we do use it in some site to reduce bamboo consumption,

Babaibejii:
Guy she is CHEATING.....they all do. Dont let her manipulate you with blackmail abeg. I keep saying it, get a freshyo 18yr pussie. You will never be bothered again who sucking your wifes flat tits and drilling the borehole again. Infact you will feel.pity for the dude.

haaahaaaa !!! Very funny advice but I have come to realize for a marriage to work in this era of social media someone between the two parties must have an open mind and most times it is better to be ignorant of a situation than to know what will kill you or land you in kirikiri,

Wow, 1metre pathway? Mine is not even close,Thanks for the correction sir, I do highly appreciate.

pics of a 1 meter walkway in our farm,that 1 and half feet walkway picture above will close up by 46 days and the workers will be struggling to access the crops,and unecessary contact with crops is not good ,it is fastest way of spreading disease

Is the Cameron pepper resistant to nematodes?

yes of course

ideepaul:
I planted 1789 cucumber seeds on the 8th of june(I could not buy extra seeds again, so still have some uncultivated beds), about 68 did not germinate. Lost another 100+ 10-12 day oldseedlings to bush rat attack, I had to spray a highly stinky mixture to confuse them, I think it's working so far. They are currently 16days old
Spacing 50cm, 2 row per bed of 110cm, pathway 50cm
Corrections, advice and criticism is highly welcomed

looks ok,but your walkway is very narrow,it will close in no time,we use the length of a shovel for our passage way
