Oga mi do you prune to get the 120bags result.

Yes boss... I prune but not Everytime..... Only when my workers are less busy.

But if you can't prune... Please just leave it... You'll still get the desired result

I have been doing agribusiness for a long time now and I can confidently say that cucumber farming is one aspect of the Agric sector if done well.

I'd be sharing pictures of my cucumber farm here just to encourage intending farmer.

I will like to know more about this. Is this easier to farm than water melon? Please DM, thank you!

Nezzjnr:

If after digging the hole for transplant, can I add the chicken litter/manure and wet it very well with water .. leave it in the hole for 3-5days before transplanting the young seedlings?

Can I place the seedling directly on the soaked manure in the transplant hole and the cover with soil?

Won't the seedlings die if I do this for cucumber/pepper/tomato?

Please can you explain better how you go about your process of using chicken manure?

Mop fertilizer helped me out sha.... Try applying it on day 30 and immediately after your 1st harvest.

You'll see that your cucumbers will be very big and you'll hardly see fruit abortion... All these things no be rocket science oo.

Infact I would have gotten more than that but I got tired harvesting abeg... Make i rest.

And also I spray Fungicides immediately I make any harvest.

How were u able to put all those fertilizers you listed above. I mean the days intervals.

Why do U hang the cucumber leave with the white rope?

It's staking.
This is to help the cucumbers get desired shape and prevent fungi attack

abouzaid:

I use Urea and Mop.... Then Foliar Fertilizers too

If enough cash dey... I supplement with Calcium Nitrate... Magnesium Sulphate and potassium Nitrate.... This can be fertigated or sprayed... Most people prefer spraying all these.

Then I spray Amino acid to reduce the heat stress on my plants so I won't see any abortion on my flowers.



10 bags from 1200 plants.... Are you sure this isn't a mistake??....

please where do you buy all these fertilizers in Lagos?

uche393:
500m drip tape Carries 1200+ plants that's what I used, I'm suspecting fertilizer coz I'm new to it. thanks for your response

boss from who did you get this size of drip

Olaleyeabdullah:
boss from who did you get this size of drip

I got it from amadrip/amagrows here on nairaland

My brother I'm intrigued by your post. Can you kindly share more insight on the +ve effect of these chemicals(calcium nitrate, magnesium sulphate & potassium nitrate), when to apply them and at what intervals.

I understand you recommend mop at day 30 and after the first harvest. What of ssp? When and how should it be applied?

The amino acid to reduce stress and flower abortion, how often do you apply?

Also, can you give an Idea of the price for the fertilisers (solid and foliar) and other chemicals mentioned above? Can they be purchased in painters?

May God give you strength to elaborately answer.

Thank you.

Let me share a picture for you to know how I apply mine using drip... Then applying it without drip

It's even more better to spray those Magnesium Sulphate... Potassium Nitrate and Calcium Nitrate.

Spray Calcium Nitrate and Potassium Nitrate from Day 7 till final harvest... 5 Tablespoon per 16l knapsack... Start magnesium Sulphate from week 3.

Then for side placing... Continue with your Npk.... Urea... Mop.

Ssp comes in when applying your manure... Spray it ontop the manure... Then Cover it and leave for 4 days before planting... Water before planting and after planting.

Those calcium Nitrate... Magnesium Sulphate... Potassium Nitrate actually helps in more yields... Limited fruit abortion.... Bigger and attractive fruits.

Amino acids should be sprayed during the dry season and it should be a weekly spray.....

As for the prices.... I can't state it because it goes up and comes down... Best thing na to buy in bulk during dry season because we have few farmers planting cucumbers den so the price will be very low and there will be lesser demand.

Sorry for the late response Boss... Been so busy.

I appreciate you brother. Thank you for this.

One more question...what's the name of the Foliar Fertiliser you use?
