In order of production

Super Habanero F1 - the fruits are as big or slightly bigger than Avenir ( I have not tasted it yet so i cant tell how hot it is ).
Avenir F1
Efia
Piquante red is not fruiting yet, we transplanted that late.

We did not prune any of the peppers. Super Habanero F1 and Avenir F1 are very busy, Efia is less busy.

There were some moralities of healthy plants. They just dried off. I chatted @okoroemeka, who was very helpful in recommending a copper based fungicide. I used this along side making some changes in the farm.
We increased the irrigation period from 3 hours to 6 hours, based on the intensity of the sun. The plants were healthy and the mortality stopped.
Some weeks later we noticed another one and after investigating it shows signs of Nematode, so we applied Velum (a nameticide).

All has been good since then.
I have not been to the farm in 2weeks + now cos of this lagos lockdown. I only monitor remotely.

I can relate to what you've just said here. i irrigate atleast 3 hours a week.. i noticed some of my plants wer growing slow compared to others.. (insufficient water) sometimes i had to prick the drip emitter to stop this.. noticed some of my plants suddenly dried up.. I've checked the roots.. no sign of nematodes yet.. but I think it may be due to insufficient water.. or other rare soilborne diseases.... but my efia which I transplanted on the 1st of Feb are already fruiting even the local opvs are fruiting.. but not all of them yet.. I'm hoping by April 20th to 1st may, it should be ready for harvest..

.
Try and prune out all those leaves that are close to the ground. It will aid air circulation and prevents fungi diseases. Rainy season is coming.
.
How much did you bought the velum? And how many liter/gram is it.
.
If u are finding it difficult uploading pictures, reduce the file size . Maximum file size for pictures is 4MB.

how did you apply the vellum Nematicide?? and how much did you get it?
Re: 30k Twice A Week From My Pepper Farm by codeQue: 9:25am On Apr 05, 2020
Thanks for the tip, will do that.
I planted a test quarter plot, which are 6 months older than the main project.
The leaves below automatically shed off, i was hoping same will apply to these.
But ill prune the leaves as recommended. Thanks.

Re: 30k Twice A Week From My Pepper Farm by tpben: 9:17pm On Apr 07, 2020
Use normal insecticide na.

Just increase the volume to 40-50ml.

Aphids have dealt with me in life but I destroyed them by increasing the volume of insecticide.

I was using cypermethrin [Best] mixed with imidacloprid [imiforce]. I measured 20-25ml but they didn't die.

I increased the volume and it did the magic.

NOTE: I sprayed my farm weekly with the earlier measurement and the aphid was ravaging my farm. [watermelon and cuke]

You must not buy everything.

Reduce cost.

You are even panicking over market and still increasing your expenses.
Re: 30k Twice A Week From My Pepper Farm by tpben: 9:19pm On Apr 07, 2020
Be tactful.
No go burn your plants.
