We are starting with the commonly grown vegetable crop "CUCUMBER". INTRODUCTION Cucumber, Cucumis sativus, is a warm season, vining, annual plant in the family Cucurbitaceae grown for its edible cucumber fruit. The cucumber plant is a sprawling vine with large leaves and curling tendrils.Cucumber may also be referred to as gherkin and originates from the foothills of the Himalayas, likely in India. Uses Although technically a fruit, cucumbers are used as a fresh vegetable, consumed fresh in salads. Some varieties are grown specifically for pickling. Yellow varieties are generally cooked before consumption. Propagation Basic requirements Cucumbers require warm, dry conditions to develop optimally, preferring both warm days and warm nights and growing best at a temperature of 30°C (86°F). Cucumber varieties One of the biggest considerations when choosing a cucumber variety is whether or not it requires pollinating and are disease resistant. Sowing seeds Direct seeding is the preferred method for sowing cucumbers as they do not transplant well.Cucumber seeds should germinate in 4–13 days depending on the soil temperature. General care and maintenance Cucumber vines are sprawling and require plenty space to grow. Vines can be trained to grow on a trellis or fence. Providing burpless varieties with vertical support allows the fruits to hang loose and grow straight. Cucumbers also require a continuous supply of water and where drip irrigation is not being used, plants should be watered deeply once per week, providing at least an inch of water. Shallow watering or watering less frequently will reduce fruit yields. Mulches can be used to conserve soil moisture and black plastic mulch has the advantage of warming the soil. Harvesting Cucumbers should be harvested from the plant when they are still immature and green in color. Mature fruits are yellow and the flesh is often tough with woody seeds. The size of cucumbers at harvest depends on the variety of the cucumber being grown and what it is to be used for. It is important to remove any fruits nearing maturity to ensure the plant remains productive. Their rapid growth means that cucumbers may need harvested every couple of days. 1 Like |

atuagbo:You can pay a visit to our farm. We sell majorly to our customers in Mile12, we also sell to local buyers around us especially when the quantity of produce to sell is low and we are building business relationships with hotels, restaurants, and retail outlets. You need to move around and ask questions. |

Our source of water is borehole, the farm is big and it is expensive to drip the whole farm that is why some parts are dripped and the other parts are manually irrigated. We fertilize when the plants are some weeks old and when they are about flowering. |
