Okay my soil experience. Now, the young cucumber seedling needs a strong boost of soil nutrient for rapid early growth. Very important.
How do you enhance their nutrient at early stage? By doing top dressing before planting. What is top dressing? No be wearing of cloth o or shirt o. . It's the application of manure/fertilizer to the top soil before planting. It's very vital that this is done. To guarantee healthy seedling like mine in the pics

Hello House. I tried Cucumber out on a small portion left in my house. Then I started noticing some spots on the leaves. Then some of the cucumber turned yellow and withered. Any particular problem i need to address?

Thanks.

Did you plant and abandon?[b][/b]No. Its just a little area in my compound.

Did weed overtake the cucumbers?[b][/b]Not at all. The weeds are uprooted almost daily

Where did you get your seeds? Bought seeds from Shoprite just to try it out. They are "Starke Ayres" seeds

These are what you need to provide info to before you can be advised.

It's a fungal disease tho, which could have been prevented if you didn't use an infested soil.

There is no cure. Pull out the infected plant and burn it. Wash your hands and any tools use in removing the diseased cucumber plant with disinfectant thereafter.

Pray your other cucumbers didn't get the infection.

Thanks for your response. Its just a trial in my compound. The other plants look healthy though.

Well, I have been postponing this for a while, just because I dont believe in "internet farming". But I feel the need to encourage other Nigerian youths out there who want to venture into agribusiness. Came back to Nigeria after University studies to invest in my country, it has not been easy so far to farm in Nigeria. The challenges have been enormous but *in Lil Wayne's voice* "we doing aite".
If I start my story, the epistle will be too long, so... I'll just get straight to the point.

I am a vegetable farmer. And farm majorly cucumber. I am pro-organic farming (it's very expensive in Nigeria). I employ technologies from around the world (especially thailand) that suit our climate and culture. I've been into this for quite a while now.

Decided to upload pictures of how I plant and the agronomy I employ in my cucumber farming. To get more ideas from the pros here and to excite the intending farmers. Just follow up
