Thanks.
I went there today...... Farm inputs are now extremely costly

Chidiebubeoji:
This sir. The roots dry out. Is this really fertilizer burn or damping off or something else.... I still can't tell. What do think is the cause sir?

Ayemileto:
Hello guys.

I'm a first time Cucumber farmer, and many of my Cucumbers are coming out strangely.

What can be the cause of the attached issued?

Is there also anything I can still do to correct this, or it's gone?

REUBEN010:
Too much heat, inadequate water/moisture stress, insect attacks, nutrient deficiency, etc.

The foundation of those crops is poor, they don't look redeemable.

Farmerakinloye6:
insect, lack of water and enough nutrients. Your first pic ripe (sun), second pic insect cause the rotten and third is cause by lack of water and nutrients.

Farmerakinloye6:
like how many stand has the same issue?

REUBEN010:
Farming as an occupation is becoming too expensive for the poor.

FarmTech:

Similar thing happens to mine but not much. Might be damping off

Farmerakinloye6:
then the burn is cause by fertilizer or manure.

What is the mixing ratio of your manure tea with water? I use 1:4 and apply once a week for my cabbage

bassey25:
Thanks for the response boss. Its going to be my first experience with using venturi and mañure tea. The manure I intend to fertigate with is rabbit manure. And I have already loaded the manure into.a drum and mixed with water..

Does this mean after seiving out the manure tea I still havw to.mix it at the said ration of 4: 1 or I can juat send the directly throught the venturi?

Pls how long should cucumber stay in seed trays before I transplant them?


This is the first time I'll be nursing cucumber in seed trays.

Farmerakinloye6:
it should be ready for transplanting between 7-9 days.

opes:
I use fresh chicken manure, I put inside sack, about 50kg, tightly tied and soak in water (200L) inside drum. After two weeks, I remove and dispose the sack, then strain the liquid and get my manure tea. I don't use raw, i dilute with water, 1 part manure tea and 4 part water

Farmerakinloye6:
it should be ready for transplanting between 7-9 days.

komoland:
Kindly transplant your cucumber nursery from 5 to 6 days to prevent nursary overgrowth which may result in cutting of young seedling during or after transplanting.

johnnyblaze424:
Thanks.
The only reason I want to use seed trays is to get good germination rate, harmattan don show

Chidiebubeoji:
