Our sprouting process started on 14th day of June 2020 indoors in sack.

immediately it germinates take it outside but still maintain temporary shelter from harsh sunlight with palm frond.

First of all I spotted some errors that i will like you to correct on your next planting,first the hills is not the best for cucumbers,for staking the crops must be in a straight line and also hills waste space,I also notice that you didn't make holes or depressions on top of the hills to accommodate the manure and co that will be applied,also you didn't even apply manure as basal before planting,that is the worst oversight,if you apply good quantities of manure before planting the crops will have a fantastic start that will boost them to maturity,below is pics of how a cucumber farm is prepared during rainy season,if you look carefully you will observe the hole in which every crop is planted,it serves two critical purpose manure and irrigation.

How does this one compare with Cameron pepper?

they are excatly the same size, flavour,yield,etc,,the only issue with Cameroon pepper is the availability,it is difficult to get,that's why we have to find an alternative which we now have in red scorpion and yellow scorpion varieties.

Also from our dear Cameroonian friends we have perfected the tech of heat treatment,fungal and bacterial treatment of perennial seeds for effective preservation and high germination rates.

Hybrid pepper is different from Cameroon pepper. Cameroon pepper is not an hybrid
cc Okoroemeka someone needs your Cameroon pepper

Thank you for drawing my attention to that,the Cameroon pepper is definitely not a hybrid variety but an improved variety from ITAR Cameroon,it is liked by farmers because of high disease resistance and high yields,but we have also added two more incredible pepper varieties and it is the work of 5 years of selective breeding,the story started in 2015 when we planted an F1 avenir red pepper farm and discovered several things,first 1-2% of the red pepper crops produced only yellow fruits throughout their production cycle, secondly many of the crops falled to disease during the peak rainy season and thirdly few crops survived the disease,so we went to work and preserved the seeds from the yellow mutated crops and the survivors and planted the next year as second F2 generation,we futher discovered that 20-30% of the yellow pepper plants produces yellow fruits that turn red when fully riped ,also on the red pepper farm we discovered also some crops has diseased leafs,so we uprooted and discarded the offenders and selected the best performing crops for a futher F3 and F4 cycles ,we have now seen the perfect results we need in this F5 generation we planted exclusively for seed with no changes in flavour,aroma,fruit size yield and plant vigour,so we now have yellow avenir variety and red avenir disease resistant variety,but for trademark issues we have decided the varieties be known as yellow scorpion and red scorpion,the desire to embark on such a tedious task is caused mainly by the erratic supply of seeds from Cameroon and the germination and disease issues with the F1 avenir,I cannot help but thank Mr vituss aneke a silent nairalander and the first farmer to get the yellow scorpion variety (100 grams)in PH last week,the flavor,aroma,size and yield of the old F1 crop now in a yellow package.

if you have weaners in Lagos that is affordable chat me up.07053636065

still looking for pigs during this swine fever pandemic,or have you not heard that oke aro pig settlement has shut down due to swine fever,do you want to buy infected pigs?wait till the rainy season stops before buying any pigs for your farm,the most critical swine fever months of July to September is still ahead.

BECALMBECALM:

Access to information is the different and am happy for the lovely entrepreneurship you have taught your children keep it up.

Though I'm into poultry I will definitely give vegetables a trial soon even if to experiment with cukes.
Keep your good work up may that is why God is blessing you. Some would had ask for money or selling some e-book but you gave the information free.

I didn't pay for any ebook or for knowledge from the advices and eye opening ideas I got from my mentor,the director of eagle foods processing,anambra state,I don't have any choice but to share whatever little I know so people can take their destiny in their own hands.

EMMAACHILE:
You are doing a good job and a lot of research. If you break through, you will be rewarded greatly.

thank you sire for the encouragement.really need it.

We also depended heavily on the fact that peppers are self pollinating that is the key to the success,if it pollinates like cucumbers it will be an exercise in futility because their are many red variety all around the vicinity.and also many bees.

EMMAACHILE:
See the results especially after fruiting before saying you have cracked the code. 200g is a lot of seeds

we have planted only the yellow variety for three production cycles or 3 years and the yield,colour,flavor,aroma,fruit size and high disease resistance was consistent that why we are going to full scale production,we noticed at the second cycle some plants will have yellow fruit but will eventually turn red when fully riped so we selected carefully only ones that remains yellow after fully riped and did that for another 3 times before breeding out the offenders,we did 200 grams because we need 5000 seedlings and a monastery nearby also needs some couple of thousands..

We have been conducting series of tests and research about the viability of naturally selecting yellow mutated peppers from a field of red avenir pepper farm,then heat treat it and also pretreat the seeds with seed treatment fungicides and bactericide,and for four years we have selected the best traits from the best performing plants and this now is the fifth cycle , ladies and gentlemen we are happy to announce that we have cracked the genetic code and now have in full production yellow avenir pepper,we decided not to use the avenir name again because of trademark issues but we have a new name for the variety and it will be called yellow scorpion,we now have a farm of 300 yellow scorpion plant that we are been managing solely for seed production,the seed treatment secret was transferred to us by our Cameroonian partners after greasing their hands heavily,we have done a 200 gram nursery yesterday for a hectare farm,with fingers crossed we will have yellow scorpion for market consumption by September,no low germinating issues,no low disease resistance in rainy season ,a perfect crop.,the red variety which is more common and cheaper is now red scorpion.,the flavor,aroma,yield and fruit size are all the same,necessity truly is the mother of inventions.

We yorubas knows ibos will never rule this country, is buhari that is granting innoson the leverage to succeed even his brother Jonathan didn't grant him much, let's see how it goes

~ afamed dec 2019

what has ruling Nigeria benefited the north,they have ruled so long but still have the highest poverty, illetracy,hunger and underdeveloped rates in the country,the spirit of self survival mindset of the igbos make them see opportunities and use it were there's none, ruling Nigeria will simply just benefit some politicians and their fellow cahoots but creating opportunities and a level playing field will benefit Many that are ready to take the bull by the horns

Hello @ oga okoroemeka, pls is it ideal to plant watermelon at this period of high rainfall. I wish to plant Koloss F1 by technisem and i read that it can adapt to rainy season.

well,watermelons don't like too much humidity but it definitely needs a trial,you can take half or one plot and plant to see how it will go

Boombaby:
Pls where can I get improved seeds to plant. Pepper, ball pepper, vegetables, okro in Lagos pls. Thanks

we have improved varieties of different veggies seeds and other inputs just check my WhatsApp no up on the thread for more info.

Hello sir. I have few questions to ask

1)is this format of fertilizer application right
First application of chicken manure before planting
Second application will be done day 20-24 before flowering stage
Then npk will be applied from day 34-38. And also after every two harvest
Fungicide, foliar will be applied every week from day 14.
Insecticides will be applied when there is sign of insect attack.

Hope this format us right and I stand to be corrected.

2) when using drip do you apply npk manually or you pass it through the drip.

3)and what are the list of chemicals do you apply when using drip and in what format.

4)what's the advantage of drip over hand watering
Ok
Thanks for your reply

the only change will be that npk fertilizer will be applied before flowering and fruiting (before 28 days),the nutrients required is now coming up and manure alone cannot cope,you can fertigate urea from 2 weeks but stop after 3-4 application to aviod runaway growth,we use maxiforce and co,drip is the best irrigation solution for vegetables especially cucumbers and melon,comparing drip and handwatering is like comparing a Kawasaki ninja with a Bajaj boxer.

I was at bodija international market today to get first hand information. A bag of pepper( flour bag) 24k and a basket for 5k... picture attached

hmm,na waa oo!pepper is the crop to beat this year, imagine #24k for a flour bag,last year we have a farm that is producing 5-7 bags consistently every 4 days and it was sold then for #6-7k, imagine if we have such farn now.

I cannot forget to the year I got infected with scabies,I tried everything that is possible and went to numerous hospitals and clinics but no help in sight,the itching was increasing on a daily basis and I am been driven slowly insane,in desperation I tried another clinic and after telling the lady doctor with nice clevages my woes,she decided to to inspect the offender and incredibly the dick Rose to full erection with the first touch even with the rough blisters covering it,the good doctor politely asked if she should continue the examination,the stress and my gradual desent into maddnes by the scabies itch did not even allow me to be embarrassed,she finally recommended benzyl benzoate and it restored my sanity

Don't worry,we planted melons in sacks around 100 and we are experimenting to see how it could be staked successful in preparation of the coming late melons planting season,I will be updating this thread on the progress

This thread reminds me of what happened when I buried my late father in 2009,I have been saving money to change my old opel Omega to a Singapore used Toyota Camry xle thiny light with full options at #550k in onitsha,I have already test driven the car and will pay next day,when my father died suddenly from cardiac arrest in the evening,that's how the car was left and I ended up spending almost #1.5 million for the burial and didn't change that opel Omega for another 2 years.

Pes13:
Good morning sirs. Thank you for the good work here.

I called my suppliers, several hours ago, and she said only murano 2f1 and Tokyo seed is available for pick up.

I have never planted murano 2f1, I am only familiar with greengo.

However, I need to know what to plant to balance the high female flower of murano 2f1.

Thank you sirs.

Tokyo is hybrid but I don't think it is an all female flower producer like Murano,you can plant the two ,at least tokyo will have more male flowers for proper pollination

tpben:
Help recommend good people.

Which brand of fertiliser 20 10 10 wotks well.

Giy one tjat isn't working at all.

look for wasott,ebonyi fertilizer, Springfield,etc,any fertilizer that is around #6-7000k a bag,but all this solar,golden,etc,that is sold for #3-3500 naira is just moulded clay soil with little urea added.

can egg plant be planted close to pepper

yes,they are the same family and has almost same diseases apart from leaf curling and viral diseases of pepper,it doesn't affect eggplant.

If the compound is floored or you don't want to disturb the soil we have workers that will set up an eggplant sack farm,it can be placed on any surface,it is mobile and can be moved around even when crop is fruiting,the yield is better because manure and other nutrients are concentrated in the sack and not leeched off,sack farming g is the new innovative frontier on drought resistant dry season farming.

The best crop for a new unseasoned farmer like the op to manage properly is garden eggplant,it is adaptable,resistant to many diseases and yields high,we still have available green garden eggplant seeds at our farm near umunze,it is even close to the op location,a 3 plot farm of garden eggplant will contain nothing less than 1200-1300 crops which is a big deal when the harvest starts rolling in,you can contact us on WhatsApp 08119942049 meglee farms

Yampotatocarrot:
Transplant them when they are 3/4 weeks? Tell me you are joking, please

cucumbers are best transplanted at 5-6 days old for best results,but I remembered a farm we did and rats ate 50% of the seeds and it was growing scantily and we decided to shift the whole remaining crops to normal spacing on one side and replant the reclaimed area,we transplanted more than 1000 flowering cucumbers with shovel and they survived but the work is too much.,to be used only on emergency cases not possible for whole farm coverage.

egg plant produce this long?

yes,we have done an eggplant farm that yielded from April to October and it was still producing but rain stopped falling and also fruit borers invaded the farm we left it,but this time. we will irrigate it when rain stops and be ready to attack fruit borers.
