Nezzjnr:

Yes

This one is just very easy and less stressful to do than the one you are talking of.

In my next Cucumber project... I'll show you a practical example using pictures

Do tag me when the time comes

Nezzjnr:

Applying the Manure and the Ssp in the middle of the bed.

It works perfectly than just applying at a spot

Is this method diff from the convectional basal method where manure/fertilizer are buried few inches away from the seedlings?

Nezzjnr:
Applying Manure and Ssp in the middle of the beds just like the way of Applying Akara to Bread.

If you do this... Your Cukes will Thank you very well.

Farmerakinloye6 have you tried this out yet??

Can you pls throw more light on the " bread and akara" method?

In response to the rise in price you posted above, i remember I made d comment below around June in one of ur maize/cassava thread.

OluchiDelly:


When everyone plants at the onset of rain in April, the effect is glut after 2 months time. Another fairly short period of cashing out will be in the next 2 months when then current batches have been exhausted, so the right time to plant is now!

Welcome everybody to this latest thread, truly 2021 season has had its up and downs esp downs, climate change is definitely here and in action but we will never give up only evolve, adapt and improve.

This thread is all about salvaging our season, this thread is about a risk worth taking, about making money and that's why we want you all to also be a part of it..
Before anything else I wanna give a shout out to
@Oluchidelly
@ideepaul
@okoroemeka
and last but not the least
@nairaland

make i carry my chair sitdown for front, cos nobody be boss for this corner. One hectare of any veggie farm no be moin moin, i will be learning from this adventure too cos i have never planted even an acre before not to talk of hectare. By this time tomorrow your seed should have landed in Benue.

Cedagrochemical:
Active ingredients - azoxystrobin + cyproconazole

suitable for all crops

suitable for the cure of early blight, late blight, powdery mildew, downy mildew etc

volume - 100ml
dosage - 200- 300ml per hectare

How much?

Farmerakinloye6:
2 of this is 1 crate...I think that one should be around 4.

You guys separated your markets from local/illiterate farmers with local variety inside local baskets.

Dayo1988:
Lagon

He said maize is a month plus...isn't it a pre-emergent?

And they will receive pardon but peaceful protesters and agitators will be treated like terrorists, naija it's well.

emmaachile2:

Not really biase but facts. Ansal had 190g weights, Kilele about 120g while Padma was 85g. If these go to the market, more people will patronise the large type fruits and definitely command more price.

In Nigeria, there are still good varieties available from the kilele f1 to the Gamhar Rz f1 and Rambo f1 because these ones guarantee above 100g if your management is good. It seems the cobra 26 F1 is not red enough !

It's ok. The color appears stretched and blurred cos i over cropped the original pic from almost 1mb to below 250kb B4 it can be uploaded.

RedEnergy:
Here's my story. I heard about the FRSC ongoing recruitment, so in order to apply i opened the official government FRSC recruitment portal https://www.recruitment.frsc.gov.ng.

After filling all my details, i clicked the submit button. But to my greatest surprise, i got an error message on the page saying this:

"Sorry, the E-Mail you are trying to register with is already in use by another user, please if it was you, try logging in with your user account and try this application again."

I was shocked, because i never in my life applied for FRSC before and it was my direct personal email i used, nobody has access to use that email and i was not hacked before, so how can another user already be using my email on FRSC?

Ok, i said you know what, let me try again eith my second email address. Guess what happened? After clicking submit, i got another error message saying this:

"Sorry, you have a pending application on this portal, kindly check your E-Mail for instructions"

I was shocked again, because i have never applied to FRSC before, so how could i have a pending application? And i have never received any email from FRSC portal before, since i have never applied. I have tried again with a 3rd email and it's still saying the same thing.

Then it dawned on me that is this not recruitment fraud going on? Who has been using people's emails to set up fake applications? Because i have never applied before and all 3 emails i tried with have been taken. Later they will say recruitment application is over and portal closed but it's fake. This is my experience with FRSC recruitment portal.

the world needs to know the truth about the extreme level of rottenness and corruption in Nigeria government.

Before u open the portal, open your e mail account first, don't log out, then open the frsc portal (using the password sent to ur email). Click on your name, "my application" and "complete application"to continue with the remaining pages.

dutch4u:

Thanks for this, please what is the quantity of force-uron that will be apply on 16L sprayer?

The maker quoted 120ml

emmaachile2:

He didn't come out straight but you will notice Ansal F1 from seminis and Kilele f1 from Syngentha is preferred by him due to their disease resistance and big sized fruits.
East west has a new product called Diva F1. It may be better than the padmas and platinums in size and look (red colour). Any tomato below 100g at this age is a no-no for the current competition. What's the average yield for these padmas?
Cos I know a Rambo F1 farmer who gets 30 tonnes/acre in a group consistently.
Seminis have a new breed called the Xaman F1 but is not available here. It caught my eye because it does not need staking.

What's the major feature of the xaman F1 that makes it not to require staking?

bfag:
For me I planted both cobra 26 f1 and platinum f1 I discovered platinum is overrated compare to cobra and has low tolerance for bacteria Wilt

My brother cobra F1 na one stubborn n rugged plant/fruits. Flood overtook my farm after many days of prolonged rainfall, yet it did not succumb to wilting easily. people who have not planted it before assume the fruit is too small, maybe because the breeders even underrated it by quoting 80g as the avg weight. I got about 110g avg, some fruits that we left on the kitchen shelf almost 2weeks remained intact.

Farmerakinloye6:
star force. How Big is your farm? What is the level of weed and cassava? You g can as well use contact herbicide too.

StarForce is good but it can only kill grasses and all plants(like maize) that the leaves look like that of grass , all broad leaves will be smiling after application. He can use it if all the weeds on his farm is grass.
Force-uron is better if the weed is less than a month, it is selective for cassava and yam and kill both grass and broadleaves.

ogbongenet:
Between 25k to 28k per bag

I guess it should be 50kg flour bag and not 25kg bag. That was the price of 50kg sack in my area at that period.

Nastolly:
I'm located in oyo state, igboora

You seem to be closer to Abeokuta town, which is a Capita city. So market should not be a problem.

Nastolly:
Haven't riped yet sir, how do I go about it when I'm about to sell sir

Mr student, What happened to the 2nd question you were asked above? That's even the most important question. When you state your location, people from that axis can give u a hint.

Btw, what variety did you plant? Local or hybrid?

willybaby:
@OluchiDelly good morning sir, sorry to disturb you with this but there is no better person I can ask but you our okra expert..

sir from the pic of an okra basin attached below how large do you think a farm land will be in order to produce 200basin of okra, GAP, fertile land, fertiliser, dwarf hybrid seeds, irrigation etc take it all is available.

I for 1 am of the opinion 5plot of a 100by 100 can give it, sire ur opinion is awaited

Hello brotherly,

First of all, this issue of controversial measurements of plots across diff states of federation is funny.
Some places like ogun and Lagos, it's 120ft by 60ft, some states like osun, etc, it's 100 by 50, yours is 100 by 100, the thing no balance at all. Your 5plots of 100 by 100 is 10plots (100by50) in my area.
To your question sir, with all the conditions you stated above, 200baskets for the whole lifetime of the crop is possible from 5plots of 100by100 ( this is almost 2 acre in my side )

Btw, did u just say i be expert? i be learner o.

favorite123:
I need hybrid tomatoes seedlings urgently in Ibadan

Why can't you buy seed and nurse yourself? . In just 20days u can transplant if u do a well structured raised bed. Don't let ppl sell local variety seedlings to you as hybrid.

I have about 20g (jaguar F1) left over from the 50g tin i bought. I can sell 10g to you at a give away price.

Farmerakinloye6:
Last year it was cracking which I don't experience this year like that probably because there is no rain. This year Nah this! Abeg my people waiting dey cause dis one? Nah insect,virus or calcium deficiency? Please my people I need answer so I can improve by next year!

The first pix appears to be insect infection.
2nd pix is due to sudden exposure to sunlight. The fruits have probably bn displaced by wind or human activities from the tomato leaves that was covering/shielding it from direct sun rays.

Alberttahir:

They are wrong. Beans farming is profitable if planted at the right time and properly managed. I did a trial with local variety last year and was amazed at the outcome. Sowed 3 small milk tin of it and got more than five bowl (happy family rubber, the 35ltr type). It was intercrop with cassava and maize. But its harvesting is very stressful once it start drying. Any dried one not harvested will rot if there's rainfall. That's why the planning is very important, just like someone earlier pointed out (planting it 40 days towards the end of the raining season). Plan the planting in a way that there'll be no frequent rainfall on its drying period.

How did you remove the shell?

Omo-ale

willybaby:
boss, thanks for visiting this thread I will be ordering your sweet dwarf seeds soon o, please start keeping my share

no mind me o. I tried to modify a typo in my old post here, the thing no gree, instead it reposted the modified one as a new post in a new page.

Olaleyeabdullah:
I am also about to plant...when I read your post yesterday, I decided to increase my spacing to 60cm. Please sir what is the best use rate for ridomil gold

@60cm spacing, will you be using 1seed or 2seeds per hole?

Krak:


This is so sudden. Seems okro farmers are not cashing out this season. When will the price start going up?

The cashing out period has since elapsed, it's between Dec and May. I was even surprised it lingered till mid June this year.
When everyone plants at the onset of rain in April, the effect is glut after 2 months time. Another fairly short period of cashing out will be in the next 2 months when then current batches have been exhausted, so the right time to plant is now!

willybaby:
Who can guess how much this basket of okra is

Okra price has just crashed.
Maybe around 2k, if not less, depending on your location.

Meritbaba:
Please where can I sell Okra in Osun

Osun has many farm markets, it depends on the one closer to your location/farm:
Sekona market beside Ede,
Gbongan market,
Osu , etc. Each with its own days.

willybaby:
First week of June our lands were ploughed, and harrowed..

What's the cost of ploughing/harrowing in the basin?

Krak:


Pls which months do you have glut in the South-West and which months do we have relative scarcity of Okra? Plus what is the current estimated price per bag or basket in the Southwest.

OluchiDelly:


From mid Dec to May, okra is scarce. I don't have the idea of the current price for now.

i was in the market to do market survey in prep for our tom and pepper that will be hitting market.
The attached bucket is the yardstick commonly used for okra, pepper, tom in Osun state. It's around 8 to 9L capacity, that's about 2 small paint rubber. Farmers can decide to measure 2, 3, 4, 5... of the bucket into a basket as we don't have a standard basket measurement here .

Okra is 1.2k(m still surprised okra is still on high side at this time)
Pepper is 3.5 to 3k
Tom(local) is 2k.
