Sorry to digress a little,which insecticide should i use for bee that is sucking fluid from.the leaf of my plantain? do u apply the insecticide on the leaf? i alreay have a sprayer dt i used to spray the herbicide. I noticed an insect dt looks like bee scuks the fluid of my plaintain and after making some repeated movements on the leaf, the green colour in the area it made the movement changes to brown. ive noticed the coloratn in the leaf, but finally saw its an insect (likely to be a bee).that causes it. |

mercylicious:It cant be bees. Bees don't destroy crops. Bees are beneficial to farms because they pollinate flowers that produces fruits. I will advise you post your concern on some of the plantain threads in order to get assistance on time. I m a dummy in plantain cultivation. Best of luck. |

Cucumber pointsett variety still flowering at 6 and half week. There are few fruits within the farm. We hope to commence harvesting by the 7th week

Re: Cucumber Farmers Your Advice Is Required by jethro2: 10:25pm On Nov 12, 2014 |
Murano F2 and pointsett varieties at harvest today. Thee longer cucumber is murano. The advantage of Murano F2 over the other variety is that it matures at five and a half weeks while the other varieties matured at 7 weeks. Murano also produce bigger cucumber than pointsett and marketer. The disadvantage is that Murano is quite expensive. 2 Likes 2 Shares

Jethro Boss, pls can u give d rough estimate of cultivating an acre of cucumber. Especially the cost of seedling, of d two varieties ( and where to get the seeds) as well as d cost of herbiciding. |
Re: Cucumber Farmers Your Advice Is Required by jethro2: 9:02pm On Nov 17, 2014 |
Juliana7:Yes its like pepper and tomatoes. It will be getting matured every 4-5days |
Re: Cucumber Farmers Your Advice Is Required by jethro2: 9:07pm On Nov 17, 2014 |
ptoall:The seedling requirement for an acre is 300g of seed. I can give the estimated calculation per acre until after harvesting. Murano seed is N5,500 for 50g while marketer and pointsett are N1,500 for 100g 1 Like 2 Shares |

ptoall:The mentor in the farm said between 40 - 50 bags if its perform well. Since i am just harvesting I dont know what my harvest will be |
Re: Cucumber Farmers Your Advice Is Required by jethro2: 6:03am On Nov 18, 2014 |
christian11:I cultivated about 5 - 6 acres. An acre is 40m by 40m. Not sure what plot is that |
Re: Cucumber Farmers Your Advice Is Required by jethro2: 6:11am On Nov 18, 2014 |
One of the lesson i learned is that one should endeavour to have a very big farm. This will assist in easy transportation to market. For example, my first harvest was 5 bags. It was difficult to get transportation to farm because I can not chatter a vehicle/car for just 5 bags. But if the farm is very big, the first and second harvest will be much. |
Re: Cucumber Farmers Your Advice Is Required by Pavore9: 7:54am On Nov 18, 2014 |
jethro2:Averagely, how many cucumbers are in a bag? |
Re: Cucumber Farmers Your Advice Is Required by Pappyshoes(m): 10:32am On Nov 18, 2014 |
