Good day senior farmers in the house...

Please I need urgent help.
My diva F1 plants are wilting just after they started flowering.. platinum are standing strong in the same location but divas are wilting what could be the issue please.

@Oluchidelly
@farmerakinloye6
@aqudude16

Did you treat the soil with nematicide?
Uproot one or two infected ones and check the roots for nematode infestation. You can snap and post the roots zone if you don't know how to check for nematode. 2nd suspect is likely BW.
Unlike Padma and platinum F1, I don't think EWS really provide details of diff disease resistance of diva F1 in the public domain. Diva is meant to scale up in size (and color) above platinum. When sizes get bigger, one or two disease resistance is usually sacrificed. Thats what you experienced on your farm between the two. This is also applicable to cobra 26 and cobra 34 where the latter sacrificed Vd resistance for it's bigger size.

This question has long been settled on this thread. Check out page 30 for details.

pls what's the best planting between tomatoes plants

planting what? time or variety? throw more light bros

mcyemite:


give it sometime...keep wetting the bed.

its 2 weeks, she said since feb 22nd. tom seed takes less than 5days maybe extra 2 days if something goes wrong.

Avuu2204:


I did a field nursery with Platinum F1 on Feb. 22nd and I sprayed insecticide/fungicide on the bed prior to planting the seeds.

Noticed that half of the seeds did not germinate. Have you ever experienced this with nursery beds? I was wondering what could’ve gone wrong because I didn’t experience that when we used to plant local varieties.

Could this mean the soil type won’t sustain Platinum F1 if transplanted?

soil should not be your problem since u have don it before with local breed.
1. did you cover it with leaves to induce warmth/heat and to minimize evaporation?
2. in dry season open field nursery, unlike during rainy season, you wl need to remove the leaves midway (like on the 3rd day) , wet it again and then return the leaves. possibly the ones that did not receive enough water are the ones that did not germinate well.
3. the mass of sand you used to cover the seed should not be too heavy on the seed otherwise you wl be conducting burial service for the seed.
4. i hope you are not been carried away by the denser population of seedlings from local breed nursery? just because local seed is too cheap, some farmers close theie eyes and broadcast it heavily and this result into a denser pop of seedlings. but hybrids are always scanty inside their sachets...so you get what you broadcast.

IRIENBOY:
I need okro seed

my contact is on my profile. you can send just a text msg, will pick it up from there.

trutharena:
Something interesting happened in the video if people can take note.

Babagana Kingibe wife is Ireti-Kingibe and she just won the Labor party Abuja senate in the concluded election.

She is the one kneeling down to greet Tinubu in the video.

Chai. They don carry Obiidiots handicap o.

She looks way too young. I guess she can't be his first wife.

Bros, you are doing well. however, @the bolded, you should at least try to acknowledge the original poster nah so that people will not see you as an impostor.

Redomi:
Please which fertilizer is the best for vegetable farming?

oluko, which type of veggie? leafy or fruity?

Rocky98765:
I need okra seeds 3 variety. each 100g. pls contact

recruitment.vivong@gmail.com

Thanks for reaching out. min order is 500g and we have only one variety.

RuMiRgO1stSon:

Oh okay... Hope you will try planting the beans two day😁

Bean get plenty wahala o esp picking the pods is back breaking and the labourers here don't do a thorough job, they will harvest half and ignore the remaining ones.

RuMiRgO1stSon:
pollen grain! yes of course, but not on me though😁 my skin doesn't react to it

On the pollen grain being to toxic to other crop, I don't believe thats true because 2021 I plant 3kg of beans under the maize crop and harvest 3bags 100kg size...aprox. 4½bags of beans...
This year's own, is just that water too much for the soil, even the maize crop barely survived the water.

i cant say much of beans cos i dont grow it but fragile ones like cucumber and tomato will never do well with corn.

RuMiRgO1stSon:


Ans....
1. I used cattle drawn plough

2. The implement I used was planting how i.e Manually.
3. don't know what you mean by fertilizer regime but i used Golden brand of NPK fertilizer 50kg... Can't tell the exact dimension of the land but a pro. 1hect. I applied fertilizer twice due to poor quality of the soil.

4. I used both contact and systematic herbicide (paraquat and uproots) to control the weed.... Though I have used selective herbicide too but in very limited amount... I used paraquat to control weeds in the farm

Thanks for sharing.

BTW: see regime below as copied from oxford dic:
​(also regimen) (medical or formal) a set of rules about food and exercise or medical treatment that you follow in order to stay healthy or to improve your health.
or a system or ordered way of doing things.

And to your failed beans project, don't intercrop beans with corn again. The powder (pollen grain) from the tassels is very toxic towards some fragile crops. Have u ever notice itches all over your body when u entered a maize farm during tasseling stage esp by noon,?

RuMiRgO1stSon:

Of course

Ok ,thanks.

1. Which farm implement did you use for ridging, it looks neat.
2. Also, ...for planting. cos I observed you did not use wheel seeder.
3. Due to the terrain,I sensed you grow in the north meaning you must have applied fertilizer.
What's your fertilizer regime?
4. Your herbicides regime also.

Misplaced priority. Is pos operator the cause of naira scarcity? As long as I don't support outrageous charges and, at the same time you cannot expect someone who spent the whole working hours of the day on the que just to collect 20k per day and we also expect them to charge N300 as usual. from this same 20k, he will pay salesgirl/boys salary, rent of the shop he's staying and other everhead expenses. Make we reason am well.

RuMiRgO1stSon:
I got whooooooping 18bags 100kg from the farm

With capital of approximately #137,000

bros you only show us fish but you did not show us how to go fishing. can a novice like me ask some questions?

kingreign:
More

Oga sir, if the guy continues with the 100% electric, you think say govt no go kill the dream? will they allow Nigerians patronize this guy for the fear of low demand for fuel in the future?.

god bless u sir for speaking up

ublight:


This statement cannot be understood. I bet u are d only 1 that understands the statement.

Please say something we can all understand

Lol, the still in his post should be a typo, change it to till and u will understand it better.

Jub101:

What I mean is that you should wait till weed germinate before you spray herbicide otherwise the application of herbicide is useless since the herbicides are post emergence

They said you should speak the language we can all understand, you are still speaking agric vocabulary .

Farmerakinloye6:
36 meter is not that long for you to divide it, I even have 80-90 meter long. Maybe I don't understand your question, add picture so I can understand More. OluchiDelly , FarmTech pls help a brother here.

You have done justice to his question brodaly. A standard plot of land in places like Ogun/Lagos state is 36m x 18m (120ft by 60ft). So 36m is just the same as the the length of a plot of land which is not that long according to your submission.

nnekaike:
This is serious, so sorry about this. The guy just threw away a strong business just like that.

@your last sentence, Exactly what I told him last year when this thread was created. I told him he can make fortunes from this biz especially now that shariff can no longer satisfy all his customers due to over workload and logistic problem but unfortunately he allow the opportunity slide away from him.

Zombiedients:


Ode ni Zombiedients

What have you done for the same country except speaking down and tearing up everything?

Do you even pay taxes?

hired political thug constituting nuisance online...it's in you, they can't make sense without abusing others.

TheNiceGuy:
Yes you're shameless or how many acres of farm do you have or invested in?
Tell me

only if you are not sounding like a political thug, i would have sent you some of my harvested produce FOC to quench your hunger. You should have done underground check of some of my posts before you quote me.

TheOgaBoss:
the ones that dared to invest in agriculture, your Fulani brothers have terrorized them from their farms.

Thank you the boss. i have been their victim times without number but we are not relenting, we are getting stronger.
The pic below is one of my many sites, thank God i removed my harvest last month. This week, they broke the wall, imagine the effrontery, just for their cows to gain access and eat grasses inside.

FarmTech:


Solskyi said that the grains from Ukraine would arrive in Nigeria in February under the initiative called ‘Grains from Ukraine’.

My country no dey shame. A war torn nation with less than 45m population has more than enough to feed herself and still dey dash us food. We that is suppose to be sending relief materials to Ukraine. we country need serious help.

gten10:
good day, my fellow nairalanders. well my account can be new but I'm not new on this forum. please can someone tell me how much I can budget for cultivating of cassava an acre farmland. i wish to setup a poultry biz but no much start up capital. I just concluded the land payment with my personal savings because i dont wish to lease it. now, i wish to acquire 1 acre but they measure 2 for me. i've completed payment for one, and i have the privilege to use all the 2 acres till i complete the payment.
Please advice me. I want to know if what I have can reach me for the budget

now, the plan is to cultivate cassava[b], how much can I budget for cultivating on one acre[/b] and the possible profit will be how much. i learnt they sold it per load.

How thick is the vegetation on the land, is it stump free? If the vegatation is light and stump free, then u spend less on land cultivation, with less than 15k u can plough with a tractor. If the vegetation is very rough, you may resort to manual clearing and ridging which will cost more.
Check out the rough estimate below.

ploughing: 15k

Herbicides: 8k(glyphosate+2,4-D/any good pre emergent.

Cass stem, 20-25bundles: 15k.@N500/bundle

Planting: 7k

Selective herbicide @7-8wks: 7k

Herbicide @4 months:3k(paraquat, spray wt caution).

You can intercrop with maize( but your herbicide regime will slightly change) to recoup all these expenses within 3months.

Tohsynetita1:

you mean mulching can't avoid weed?

1. Well, i dont know the type of of mulching u are talking about. Whether mulchinng film or dry grasses, none is even applicable here as the OP is talking about 50 acres(not 5) of melon farm(not cucumber, tomatoes and the likes).

2. Be careful with the chemicals you recommend on line, wrong prescription can ruin multi milion naira project. To the 2 herbicides you recommended above, Fulsilade is only applicable if the weed on his farm is >90% grasses. It does not kill broadleaves. i used to buy a bottle around 10k which can serves one acre. imagine the OP has more of broadleaf weeds on his farm and he ignorantly takes your advice and buys 50 bottles for the 50 acres...almost N500K fruitless venture...after spraying, the weeds will still be smiling. To the 2nd herbicide you mentioned, it is more applicable for root crops: cassava, yam, ginger, etc. I have used diff brands of it...forceuron, royaluron, etc. none of these manufacturers mentioned melon. Let's be guided, peace.

Tohsynetita1:
Use Fusilade forte or force uron or you mulch it.

This is misleading.

From this ur previous thread https://www.nairaland.com/7505727/father-wants-chase-me-wife
Na u take your hand drag wahala to yaself. You dey under your papa roof impregnate your wife, sote she born, u still dey there.

Se your wife cum vex pour hot water be cos say ya papa wan pursue Una comot for him house?

fman:
ur story no complete...

Thats just part 2. He created a thread on part1, check out his profile, his papa sent him parking maybe for him to be self independent, probably his wife took offense in the action of the father.

ozome15:
Is possible to co- plant okra with another crops?

Yes, but with some side effects such as delayed maturity, stems will become longer(instead of being dwarfed) and it will not yield its full potential. You may have a better results if inter cropped with some well spaced trees like palms.
