aliadi2:
Good evening sir am a new farmer at Ogun state and I would like to know which type of cucumber is these as these is the type sold in my local market when I did market survey or do you advise I plant these darina or any type.
Also I noticed they didn't make ridges in the picture you upload can we plant without making ridges, then what happens when rain comes won't it affect the plant sir.

I have no idea. It's looks like a malnourished cucumber from what I see.
Ogun market accepts Darina, Jorad or Dakar f1

Yellow leaf curl virus in farmers language is a dangerous disease.

Farmers can find refuge in resistant varieties such as
Tomato
Assila F1, Ansal F1, Kilele F1 , Big rock F1

Pepper
Super Habanero f1 (high tolerance)
Mawenzili (high tolerance)

A lot of resources is used to fight a battle against this virus attack that the farmer always lose.

Aphids transmit it too. Weed your farm and use plastic mulch if possible to reduce their population

Yes, first harvest on day 35 after germination.

Second harvest should be today or tomorrow. Will update more.

Curved fruits in cucumber is likely a result of low soil moisture. Cucumber need up to 3-4 litre per plant a day for optimum production

Both are ok but the spacing between the two rolls should be at least 50cm

Cross pollination can't happen. But you need to up your spray program because they both belong to same family cucurbits and can share some pests especially aphids between each other.

give us update on the 950 cucumber stand... i harvested mine two days ago... got one bag

I will when I receive pictures and data. The farmer in Ogun State is an unfortunate one. He is trying to be funny by hiding the statistics of the farm. I now know why some farmers will never succeed. I am done with that farm and in short small farms currently.

I will update on another two farms, one 2850 population at Ibadan (day 30) and the other 1850 at Awka (day 37)
