It's cu999 sir. When should I prepare for second harvest @okoroemeka Kipp

in this rainy season 4 days is sufficient xx but I noticed your fruits are not big,did you harvest it small to suit your market because I know that variety but can get as big twice the size of the one shown

dreymania:
First harvest of my cucumber. I got 4bags from about 1700 plant stand. Hope it's quite reasonable for a newbie

you did quite well,I am predicting 8-10 bags second harvest,what variety is that?

jidestroud:
Lol...
But in all honesty, Super gro is a very good product. If you have it in your possession, PLS DO USE IT. It is a substance that greatly helps the use of other products. i.e a great adjuvant. Use it with your fertilizers, pesticides & other products. I for example use it with my organic product and produce was optimized. It is not a fertilizer like most say but it certainly with boost intake of nutrients by your crops. If you can afford it, buy & use. (I use it always). Super gro is not a scam/audio product, but you can do without it.
My opinion.

the reason that i labelled it an audio fertilizer is because it is not a fertlizer in the first place,,super gro makes soil wetter and helps plant absorb more nutrients because the moisture to move the nutrients will be available,then came the problems,what if a novice farmer applied only super gro and relax thinking it a fertlizer or now in the rainy season is there really any use for it,super gro will only be economically effective during dry season to extend watering intervals of crops but in the rainy season it will be as useless as taking coal to enugu.

Thanks boss.
I will try d worm force.
Also how can 1 identify nematode before transplanting because some1 told me it was already infected before I transplanted but I checked d root before transplanting except the ones in nursery nylon

also that is the main reason to burn firewood on top of were you want to do nursery to sterilze the soil,if you see round nodes on the roots then nematodes is there,but you could have avioded all this by planting a variety that is resistant to nematodes

Nigerian leadership has a serious problem of misplaced priority,do the state need a car production factory,how many people can afford a new car or will the factory be producing Keke for transportation which may even be more lucrative than car production,innoson and other automotive companies are still battling to stay afloat in Nigeria and they want to build another company that is already doomed before starting,there are other areas the government can invest that will benefit the common man,a mega palm oil or cocoa plantation could have been a better bet,with processing factories to add value to finished goods it will be vertical intergration at it's best,the type of products that will come out of such estates will be world class ,from raw oils,edible oils,soap,beverages,food products,even animal farms can be set up to utilize the waste cake for meat and milk production, Africa is a virgin ground for business,many countries in Africa depends on food imports from Europe and Asia,to survive,Nigeria is in a position to fill that gap.

veggieman2be:
What treatment can be applied to a pepper stand that is already fruiting but infected by Root knot Nematode
Thanks

nematodes maybe difficult to treat if the crops are already infected,that is why soil treatment is done before planting,but you can still use wormforce and hope for the best,also the survival of a farm starts from the seeds,that's why we used avenir pepper as the foundation stock for our yellow scorpion and red scorpion varieties because it is resistant to nematodes of any type

safarifarms:
Pls what is the usefulness of the super gro?

what wiz2019 is talking about is not by anyway related to super gro,he is sharing observations made by using different types of real original fertilizers. not audio fertilizer like super gro,let it be known to anyone who cares to listen that super gro is not a fertilizer but a soil conditioner that makes soil retain water for a longer time,it is unscrupulous dealers that label it a fertlizer so they can sell more,they even advice farmers to use it for livestock like fish and pigs so they will grow more,don't try that at home results will not be funny especially In fish pond.

Hasib04:
Good evening, what can I use sir?

classic Downy mildrew,remove all the affected leafs and spray throughly a mix of redforce (50 grams)and zforce(100 grams) fungicides for one knapsack,also find good foliar fertilizer and put inside,the leafs are not greenish enough.

FarmTech:
@okoroemeka, pls how much is spray tubes?

last time I checked it was #100 naira per meter,200 meters will cover 1 and half plot of land,with water spraying 4 meters left and right.

All white people are hardwired to view black vpeople as inferior and more related to monkeys and apes than human beings,the few that shows tolerance don't have any option but deep in their hearts they loath black people,we don't need any apologies from them,after all what respect did you expect from a race the captured,raped,killed and sold us like Christmas goats,as long as the black man lives he will always be hated by the white man

CanadaOrBust:
Let’s agree on this: a marriage is more likely to last if only one partner is sleeping around, than if both partners are sleeping around. Look around u - even poor men stay married to same woman for life, despite being womanizers

yes,many marriages last even when the woman or man is cheating,the problems starts when the man or woman will ignore his responsibility and foolishly fall in love with their cheating partner,I have seen many examples of husband's that love their wife and family but has a sexmate for casual or one night stand,such men or women don't have permanent cheating partner but can cheat occasionally when the opportunity to presents itself,for many individuals sex is just a reflex action and any small gesture or action can turn them on,I have seen situations when perfect strangers spontaneously have sex without even knowing their names ,many perfectly normal people don't even attach any big deal to sex,to them it is as natural as going to the toilet or urinating.

That pusi(my first time of hearing such term) will not be enjoyable because it is given under duress,I have been in similar circumstance and the dick shut down Midway into the action due to unresponsive pusi,well the price has to renegotiated and I ended up giving 50% of the money due to unresponsive pusi syndrome that caused dick malfunction and subsequently the contract was breeched.

safarifarms:
Please does anyone know or have experience with the attached fertilizer (Agrovert)? Is it effectively for cucumber?

The fertilizer has 3 varieties with different NPK values (didn't take note) meant for different stages of growth.

@okoroemeka
@vosquare
@tangoalpha

I can easily see cucumber flowers on the plastic can so it means it's ok for cucumbers,but check closely the npk values if it has higher N then it is for vegetative growth,if it has lower N and higher K then it is for flowering and fruiting.

TAYO124:
It is not possible to make 500000 from cucumber farming with just one plot of land. Be realistic and remove your labor and total expenditure.

well the target is making #500k total revenue from one plot ,i think it is highly possible if you plant in a very fertile soil,a good variety,good agricultural management and mostly plant to harvest by January-march that's when a bag can skyrocket to #7k a bag,we have done a sack farm of 800 empty cement bags,with 2 crops per sack total 1600 crops and got a total of 50 bags in 10 harvest,we sold at #4k per bag and got revenue of #200k from a land that is not up to half plot,and the production figure is 3.5/4:fruits per crop which is not even fantastic,I have seen production of 100 bags from 50 grams of seed in Edo state,don't doubt most things because there are determined people hell bent on making the impossible a reality.

Is it advisable to water at 2pm hot afternoon? Do you water 3 times a day during the dry season?

I was banned for 2 days by the antispam bot,they just bailed me,yes you can water cucumbers at anytime without any problems but can that be said about you that is standing in the blazing sun and watering it or less you are using drip irrigation

Pes13:
Good evening sir okoroemeka.

I decided to test the effect of NPK 20-10-10r as a fertigation fertilizer, and also the dry grain on about seventy 1 week old cucumber plants. To my surprise, 100% of the plants I apply the NPK as a solution to died, while about 90% of the one I apply the NPK as a wet solid to died as well.

Please sir, I will like to know the optimum concentration of NPK in grams that Will be safe to mix with water, to use for fertigation. Thank you sir.

you have to very careful when applying fertilizer on cucumbers,we have lost 70% of a 5 week old farm to urea application,we have used half painter (2kg)of urea for 100 ltrs of water and fertigated with no problems

Blackmoran:
The institution marriage in our generation is not realistic.. The main purpose of people getting married is to stay and live a monogamy life with your partner which is hard to practice, because both sexes now a polygamous in nature, with the invent of social media and technology both sexes have the ability to meet with a lot of people and are been distracted.... So what is the purpose of marriage when the vow you make deep down you know its likely you break it. And secondly how does marriage benefit a guy.... Pls give me 3 reason and don't tell children and cooking I can achieve that without getting married..

honestly I can say companionship but that could also be easily achieved by not getting married,social media has given women the freedom they needed for thousands of years to advertise themselves and meet various exotic men,i am now married for 20 years now but this days of social media has made me not to look too deeply into most things ,you just have to develop an open mind when staying with women of nowadays.

LukasPodolski:
Excuse me sir, what do you mean by a tribe getting 90% of all the businesses in Nigeria?

what he means is the market business of buying and selling,you cannot help but admire how this guys managed to monopolize such business line,let me illustrate,I met a Senegalese spare parts dealer in mgbuka onitsha and I was asking him how on Earth will he come all the way back from Senegal to onitsha to buy parts,he told me that igbo business men has invested in joint ventures with owners of scrap and junkyards in Asia that any non igbo speaking buyer cannot buy from them,so they only sell to their brothers,so that is the cause,hmm.

EmmaNuella77:
Well,


1. I haven't kissed
2. Haven't had sex
3. Haven't been to a native/doctor
4. Haven't travelled out of Nigeria
5. Haven't been in love with anyone else since I broke up with my first boyfriend(Temple) in 2018

what you should say is that since 2018,you have not kissed or fvcked, because this two things are main ingredients in boyfriend/girlfriend relationship,if a relationship don't have these two things then it's is a friendzoneship.

apart from urea we have used for fertigation without any problems,NPK is not water soluble and not meant for fertigation,it is used as soil application,there are fertilizers that are meant for fertigation like Haifa, maxiforce,multik etc, caution should be used when using any type of fertilizer on cucumbers be it organic or inorganic they can kill without mercy especially urea and chicken manure.

What if one improvises with PVC pipes that are punched at the right internals, won't it serve the purpose? Or won't it be cost effective?

drip tapes has small inbuilt emitters that gives the same amount of water(4 ltr/hr) through out the whole setup,but if you open PVC pipes the first hole maybe dropping 20 ltr/hr while the last holes maybe 1-2 ltrs/hr,also the cost a 15ft length of PVC is #800 naira to get 3000 ft(1000meters)you will need 150-170 lengths,while a 1000 meter drip with accessories is roughly #60k

This very sad incident is a sign of the terrible scourge of new synthetic drugs which is the clear and present danger in this generation,when we are growing up marijuana is the worst you can do,but now the list is endless from Colorado to skunk and Crystal meth labs are all over the village in the east,if you see crazy atrocious behavior like this believe me drugs are the fuel behind it,there is a joint they sell Crystal meth(mkupuru mmiri)near our farm and we have seen our fair share of crazy acts.

Sweetgoodie:
wait this is not Anambra State

I don't think you can see that type of mud houses in anambra state again,it's simply not possible.

niyidenrele:
pls can u explain further, why the plants can produce more than 6per plants, is it due to constraints in extending further down the field, cos I know they are types of plants called creepers, or what, pls explain, because right in my premises that I worked one of my Oga planted cucumber there and I can proudly tell you that this will be the 12 time wilbe harvesting on just one strand of plants, can u juxtapose and explain the reason why compare to your argument

the first problem in open field planting is weather,if the temperature is not controlled with shade net or any means high temperatures will make cucumbers produce more male flowers, irrigation is another factor and also management,if crops are grown in green house or hydroponics the nutrients supply is steady,disease are kept at Bay because no rain is touching the leafs, pruning is a must because of space and it gives better outputs and irrigation is steady with drip because rainfall tend to leech out nutrients,that one crop in your backyard will perform well even without any treatment because there's no other cucubit crop around to transfer disease,try and go out in the bush and plant like 2000 crops and see the big difference, Downy mildrew and other disease is a big factor that reduces the yield of cucumber crops

Cucumbers cannot produce 20 fruits,it is simply not possible in open fields planting but can be done in cotrolled green house and hydroponics system,even production of 6 sound fruits from a single crop in open field will be considered extraordinary, because that will mean from a single plot of 2000 crops you will get a production of 12,000 fruits which vis roughly 100 bags, cucumbers flower in 28 days not 2:months,by 2 months you may have harvested 3-4 times.,and for your information it is one of the most expensive crop to grow,just to spray an acre of cucumbers with agrochemicals weekly will cost an average of #10-12k

safarifarms:
How do you move the wet manure to your farm

the manure is not Soo wet like slurry type but just thick and damp like garri ,so we just get empty cement bags with our pickup truck and wait when the farm workers will start clearing the cages,they start clearing the battery cages everyday by 9-10am,so they just fill the bags for us,from roughly 25-30 chicken pens,the manure from one pen fills more than 80-100 bags,so we choose the pen that has the thickness manure for easy handling and transportation.

pipi84:
The green coloured one is for growth stage while the pink coloured one is flowering stage....

hmm,a very interesting and in sight full idea,now I see the difference,but this is a let down by the manufacturer for not providing sufficient information on the pack,thank you my brother this is a real eye opener

lloydtruth:
Who knows about this Thai agro ltd? Earlier in the week I ordered for 50kg of their CU 999 and the promised to deliver by Friday latest. Since then haven't heard from them, their both lines have been switched off since yesterday.

did I see 50 kg or is it a typo error, maybe the op meant by 50 grams because I doubt if Thai agro can sell such quantities to one individual farmer,50 kg cu 999 seed will be almost a million naira to be planted on which land.,moreover the office phone is only open from 9am-4pm,monday-friday,if you are trying to call them off this period you are wasting you time.

Kemyrolex:
I bought Haifa bonus and noticed that the contents are green coloured crystals instead of the usual pink I've been seeing. I don't know if that's how it is now, or I never came across this particular type or maybe I bought an adulterated one. Plus I've not seen results like the previous ones. Possible suggestions from here will be of help

the green is the original color of Haifa,the pink is a new production but all are good,but I prefer the green type.

Very sad story,may his soul rest in peace
