Our research in progress of how to produce garden eggplant in dry season is giving results,we wanted to use sacks to prevent certain issues we have with our previous failed dry season projects,sacks lift the crops off the very hot soil and created another micro climate more suitable for high production and healthy crops,our sack farm test crop is more than healthy and flowering heavily,we have proceeded to start the sack farm with a nursery prepared today, hopefully by September we will start harvesting and push it through to may next year hopefully,3000 crops in 3000 sacks it will not be an easy road,but the first shots has been fired.

dmz1:
how do you sell the seeds of the egg plant? and can it still be planted now?

50 grams #15,000 naira,25 grams #10,000 naira,we even did another nursery today to Target the elusive dry season December and next year Easter market.

Depriest2020:
It's lacking in Federal character, Dominated by Igbos and Yorubas. Not evenly spread amongst the over 350 ethnic nationalities in Nigeria. The rest Nigerians needs a spot too.

so you expect to see someone from zamfara state on that list,a state that produced 20-30 pupils for the last common entrance examination vfrom a state of almost 4 million people,and ironcally a state like that will have many important positions and appointments reserved for it under guise of federal character,merit had been sacrificed on the altars of mediocrity in Nigeria.

AAT! The iron, the liquid metal, the indaboski bahose? I believe this not. The Lion himself, and I was just wondering the day he will go to a zoo and challenge a real Lion. na dat day we go dey find who go settle the matter

haaahaaaa!!it will end like that fool of a prophet that jumped into the Lions enclosure in unibadan zoo claiming he is the modern Daniel in the llons den and before the zoo keepers can rescue him it is only bones left

You may not agree but this guy is a good man. Not many pastors will apologize.

Iyou will also agree that not many pastors will say those type of insensitive words,the imo akwa and ikeji festivals are two of the greatest gathering of masquerades and culture still left in igboland and the charlatan wants to stop that,is not freedom of religion a fundamental human right,the coming of the white man and his religion is the worst thing that happened to Africa,many Asian countries that resisted foreign intervention like China and Japan developed at their own pace,the white man only came to Africa with one agenda to loot and pillage as many resources as possible.

johnnyblaze424:
I planted cukes and it rained for five days straight....... all the seeds got rotten!!!
this raining season is something else

a good farmer monitors the weather closely,we now have good weather apps that helps in doing that now,don't plant cucumbers if a brief break in heavy rainfall will not appear for 3 days,heavy rainfall will cover the seeds with more soil,the seeds will go down more into the soil and the temperature will be too cold for germination,doing the middle of serious rainy season we just do nursery and cover with tarpulin after germination we transplant.

How can you protest increase on something that's not essential ? If they increase and you can't pay then dump their ass and opt for NTA's Startimes which I hear is like 500 naira a month for many stations ..

I have used DStv from 2005 to 2015,when I simply decided to dump it because of the price increase,bad buhari economic policy and the lack of good and interesting programs,the time I bought DStv in 2005 it was #45k with the dish magazine,they were showing almost the whole football league in the world that time french,Spain,Brazil, premier league,2nd division,American,italy,Russian,the list is endless,their other channels are so educative and interesting,but down the line even premium channels like Discovery and history starts to show pawn stars and other rubbish,I am predicting that smart phones is the next frontier and it will sink DStv.

Olaleyeabdullah:
can egg plant be topped like pepper?

yes of course,

semid4lyfe:
5K is just the cost of renting the spraying booth/oven.

The painter will not do the job for free and will charge 10 - 30k depending on the vehicle and the amount of work it'd require.

Now, let's do the maths

Panel Beating - 25k, Paint - 50k, Rent of Oven - 5k, Painting Workmanship - 15k. TOTAL - 95K.

Not cost effective at all.

the last paint job I did was February last year,the panel beater even came to my house to fill and sand the car with putty and filler for 3-4 days,he stayed with me and I fed him for that 3 days,after that we took the vehicle to an expert sprayer in enugu who sprayed it with #5k and the car was collected next day,so total cost is panel beater #25k,paint #40k,sprayer #5k, accessories #15-20k and it took 5-6 days to complete the job,I don't have time for artisans games,if you park vehicle for them some can take up to 1 month to complete job that will take 4-5 days,don't have time for such nonsense,if I want to do a paint job my panel beater comes to my house and do it ,no time for games.

Tomiwa69:
Even in the bible...tell me How many sin or death Was in the name of Satan..but yet ur loving sky daddy has caused countless genocide..rape and slavery..the Only death caused by Satan which was job and his family wasnt even Without Gods consent.. When Satan said eat the fruit and ye shall become like gods..he Didn't lie..Y God was trying to hide the knowledge of the universe from man Eg by banning the study of astronomy.. Satan was Trying to Show us how to become immortals ourselves...y was was trying to degrade our species to feeding off his foot.. Satan wanted to show humanity how to fish themselves... Ur god is an oppressor.. A tyrant..an slowpoke entity who is hell bent on destroying the Human race or succumbing them to his authority .....If u actually read ur bible with logical reasons and not with a succumbing mind u will see the absurdity of these god u all speak of

I really pity the Philistines,amalakites,hitties,egyptains,etc,they really suffered in the hands of a warlike god that loves war,genocide,slavery and death as if differences cannot be diplomatically settled.

Green garden eggplant harvest is rolling in,the sweat,tears and agony of working and waiting is finally paying off,and for any farmer that is still skeptical,there is still time for Rainy -dry season projects and seeds are still available,Mr try does many things and Mr try will definitely enjoy many things.

The current state of our pepper farm. Very short and already flowering. I prunned 90% , the 10% left is to compare production. 1,982 stands of Avenir f1. We sold over ,4000 seedlings. I do really appreciate this house

kudos,that pics is a very healthy pepper crop,I think you should apply urea fertilizer at this stage for incredible growth, remember your fungicides,check leaf underside,track, uproot and dispose any plant showing signs of abnormality,leaf crinking or wilting.

Easternsun2020:
The north likes ruling others when they have not been able to rule themselves.

The only thing keeping Nigeria together is the collective hatred for Igbos. The north is on a self-destruct mode. Even Buhari, IBB and Abdulsalami (all present and past presidents) cannot stop bandits in Daura, Katasina and the entire north.

Later some people will start shouting, "Igbos hate themselves." I hope you all can see the kind of love Hausa/Fulani are showing themselves. May God never allow us show our brothers the kind of love Hausa/Fulani are showing themselves and their neighbours.

Don't quote me because if you do, I will make sure your boss sends you to bandit-ravaged Zamfara, Katsina or Sokoto to continue your work.

I must quote you because your opinion is nothing but the bitter inconvienent truth, Nigeria is a jigsaw that is held together by oil revenue,we in the south east and south south are being held against our wish to be a willing partner in a forced lopsided marriage,it is glaring that Nigeria cannot be one country,the average igboman has an independent mindset to be financially and physically free,so hard work, Enterprise and prudence are highly revered,less than 50 yrs ago all commercial and private businesses were completely destroyed in the civil war and the Nigerian government instead of giving out loans and incentives so ordinary people can start afresh,they sized the little funds the people has in the bank and everyone was given 20$ ,even if you have millons before the war,is this not a well planned deliberate policy to subdue a people or to make then to be on the same level with them,let us not continue to deceive ourselves Nigeria is not one country but a collection of counties and sooner or later it is bound to be balkanized.

Pls can u list some of the special fungicides u use?
.
I have been hit by the bacteria leaf spot at seedling stage. But with the coming of dry season, it cleared off. If not, it would have been very bad. But I did applied fungicides - mancozeb, hexaconazole, burgundy' mixture and saaf.

the special fungicides mix is not for public consumption,the formula is a secret mix of fungicides and insecticides that farmers around mambilla uses to cure and clear pepper diseases,WhatsApp me ,it's strictly on a need to know basis.

Money will open any legs
Short

I don't think so,all ladies are not the same so don't generalize,I have given money,phone,etc,but failed to open some legs,while in some cases I have given nothing but the legs keep opening ever wider,money is a good bait no doubt about that but first impressions ,manner of approach and composure are the final game changer.

Donbran101:
Can someone help me identify this challenge in my pepper farm am new in this business

first I can identify 2 very common pepper diseases already by looking at the pictures,the black coloration on the stem,stalk and leaf margin is classic anthracnose,it also causes fruit to have soft watery spots and spoils easily,the other disease is bacterial leaf spot also easily identified by the yellow spots on the leafs,I have been hit so hard with diseases in vegetables farming that the first mandate in starting any new farm is disease prevention,I don't know the type of seed or variety planted,but all I know is that the farm is doomed,the infection percentage has passed the tipping point and no amount of ordinary fungicides will turn it around, only a special mixture of fungicides and a certain insecticide can salvage the farm,the best defense against problems like this is first good quality seeds,weekly or biweekly application of
special fungicides,aviod entering or touching crops in the morning or when wet.

This is well timed,this road will relieve traffic pressure on Nike road,liberty ,abakpa junction and trans ekulu/timbershead,it is well thought of,thank you mr governor.

[quote author=Dubem50 post=90026763][/quote]sprinkler irrigation is the worst thing for a vegetable farm except maybe ugwu,we tried raingun and hurriedly packed it away,the fastest way to ring dinner bell for foliar disease on cucumbers,pepper,etc is constant wetness of leafs,the best form of irrigation for crops like that is drip or hand watering targeted at the stem,also that seed extraction technique,do you know that 60-70% of pepper disease also infect the fruits and subsequently the seeds,if you extract seeds from a hybrid crop,an old farm that has a 100% chance of been left to diseases that seedling is already doomed before starting,almost all common pepper diseases and viral infections are all found in the seeds from antracnose, bacterial leaf spot to viral mosaic disease(leaf curling),so the best defense against disease starts from the seeds and extracting seeds without proper checks is simply not a good idea,the small advantage in reducing cost will be wiped off by high application of fungicides and subsequent loss to high disease pressure,pls be guided.

We are currently transplanting pepper on 2 acres,but from one plot and half eggplant farm we have started harvesting can give you insight to possible returns,we used a total of #30k to set up the site to harvesting,after the first picking and 4 harvests in 16 -20 days the money spent on the farm is already down and the farm will still be harvested till September-october.

whirlwind7:
okoroemeka, can you make some input here, pls.

from our own perspective and the crops farmers are actively cashing out on apart from cucumbers are garden eggplant and fresh pepper,okra could have made the cut but it takes long to mature(60 days)and don't last,unlike garen eggplant and prppsr that will be harvested with proper management for months.

dmz1:
the cucumbers I harvested from my farm today is very bitter

the major cause of bitterness in cucumbers is stress caused by poor irrigation and hot temperature, that is why if there's no water source around or means of irrigation it is not advisable to plant cucumbers, a friend of mine has 2 acres of cucumbers that are bitter more than chloroquine and all the harvested fruits are been used for pig food,imagine the effort,money wasted and time,if he had followed my advice and did 3-4 plots that can be covered with drip or easily watered manually it will not end badly,but he is still lucky the rains are back and he can salvage something out of the farm but the damage has already been done.

Boss Good evening

Please go through his thread... You'll know you're dealing with a clown

well let's give him a chance to prove himself, who knows what a clown can do,especially pulling a rabbit from the hat

after years of owning different cars and trucks also doing countless paint job,this is the tactics I discovered for the best car paint finish,contract a panel beater to do the sanding and filling part the hardest and most critical part for a smooth finish,(#25-30,000 naira)then go and buy original paint yourself from sikkens,akzo Nobel or ppg(#50-60,000 naira)then take the car to expert sprayers booth (#5000 naira)the panel beater will be available because the sprayers will thoroughly inspect the car and refer him back to bad spots,most panel beaters are not painters, there are people that spray cars only for a living,and most important is the paint quality,I bought a #40k China paint and resprayed my car and regretted that decision in 2 months,whatever the cost don't buy any other paint apart from those 3 and go to there office

Richfarmer:
hmm this is interesting,

will the yeild be as good as immagined?

What will be the cost of getting the seeds and making land preparations in 20 hectares of land?

this is a public forum,whatapp08119942049 for more detailed estimates.

I have been experimenting with a pepper variety sourced from the Caribbeans islands that has an incredible aroma and flavour,if planted organically on a massive scale,air dried,ground and packaged it will change the way people view pepper, it will explode the market with different pack sizes to suit needs,it will relegate local Cameroon pepper to the back seat.there's no pepper sachet in the market currently it will be a game changer.

pjc:
You guys are f*cking running a private business more or less. Do what you gat to do to stay in business or quit. Some people are ready to take up the available opportunity am sure.

the company has pointed out the problem that a 70 seated bus is now carrying 21 passengers due to social distance and at same old rate,and I guessed the government will direct them not to increase fares,because the normal thing for a private business to do is to increase fare by 40-50℅,so what they are doing is the smart move to force the government to pay the subsidy,because as the MD pointed out that they are not running a social service.
