good evening great framers. my pepper has stuntted grown due to transplant shock and fungi infections. presently spraying weekly with a fungicide and liquid fertilizer. Planning on applying Urea 46, will like to know the frequency at which am to use it. weekly or once every two weeks.

veggieman2be:
I visitedd my farm and saw some pepper been cut off. What can be done to wade off insects or pest that will just cut off one's pepper on its stand

@ veggieman2be if it's a newly transplanted pepper, then caterpillars might @ work in ur pepper farm, you can spray with fighter
If it's a fully grown pepper plant, maybe at it's productive or fruiting stage, then termite might probably be d bad guy running affairs there..

Those are nymphs of stink bugs. I also sight them on my pepper farm. So far I've used methomyl and Abamectin against them. I'm watching to see what happen. There effect:

"To obtain their food, stink bugs use their stylets to pierce the plant tissue to extract the plant fluids. [32] In doing so, the plant loses necessary fluids, which can lead to deformation of seeds, destruction of seeds, destruction of fruiting structures, delayed plant maturation, and increased vulnerability to harmful pathogens. [32] While harvesting the plant's juices, the stink bug injects saliva into the plant, creating a dimpling of the fruit's surface and rotting of the material underneath." - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_marmorated_stink_bug

and also transmit diseases in the process,that is the main reason I hate such goddamn critters,why they will leave the whole plants in the forest to target and destroy our precious crops I don't know,maybe the gods has a sense of humour.

I appreciate brother. Thanks.

That's the baddest thing about most of these pests!

It seems like my methomyl and Abamectin pesticides did not work oo. I tried imidacloprid today.

Good afternoon my fellow nairalander most especially the like minds from the great Agricultural section, we are the best because we feed other sections,na we be their father.
Now, let’s look into pepper farming and the benefit of starting it as a business. In the process of researching business opportunities in Nigeria, I have discovered that no one has any good reason to be poor. If you are poor, it’s either because you want to or you’ve not been properly informed. There are many things you could pick up today and walk yourself up there within the next three years. One of them is pepper farming. I'm starting my pepper farming now wish I promise to share all my activities here for correction, learning and encouragement from everyone. My goal is to generate at least 30k twice a week from my investment twice on a week.... We shall see if it's possible or not, may God help me.
I'm planting herbanero pepper (Rodo) and jalapeno (bawa)
Got my hybrid seeds from technism, Avenir f1 and forever f1 variety . I have done the nursery by broadcasting it

Nice!!

I'm interested in farming but don't know anything about, abeg how you fit help me, I really want to go into agro business

DAVE5:

What do you want to plant or farm?

Then use 50ml of fighter or sharpshooter mixed in n 16l of knapsack spray and spray once every week

I am a farmer in Port Harcourt Rivers State and I have got my own share of experience both good and bad, smooth and rough when it comes to nursery and raising seedlings.
I thought of opening a new thread to share it with fellow farmers but on the other hand, I decided to share it here because I feel it's also a way of giving back to this little community that also contributed to my success in one way or the other in terms of perfecting my skills in raising pepper seedlings. So instead of creating multiple thread, I will prefer to pour all my knowledge here giving you guys weekly updates with photos so that if any body stumbles upon this thread, he/she would find it to be an encyclopedia of hot pepper farming from vast and different contributors and first hand field experience. Not e Farmers. I wish everyone of us also follows suit. Rather than reading through the thread and going our different ways with the knowledge we got, or even running to open a new thread, let's give back, let's make this one concentrated, refined and very rich.
B4 I open my own personal thread, I have promised myself to give back to this thread dat contributed to my success. And I won't give crap, I will make it detailed, rich and well laid out. And for those of you still learning, I will make out time out of my tight schedule to consult u via zoom video call or Watts app FOR FREE to help new or intending farmers catch up quickly.
I will start writing by tomorrow. I know it's gonna be tasking, but I will do it anyway. So get ready for a new ride on hot pepper.

Really Happy to see you giving back to the Community.
Will be waiting for your contribution. I am a new farmer who is willing to add more knowledge.
Thanks Bro

What do you want to plant or farm?

Pepper, tomato and any other profitable product

DAVE5:


Pepper, tomato and any other profitable product

Tomato, pepper, cucumber and the likes are profitable but could also send you into despair! as a newbie, I would advice you attach yourself to a local farmer around you or you do a little garden to learn the basics. there is a lot to learn Boss and it may take years to master the art and science of cultivating a particular vegetable , and no online tutorial can prepare you for the southern Nigerian farming experience!

Very well noted sir

Start with hot pepper and only hot pepper alone!!!
Sorry I didn't emphasize on that fact enough
START WITH HOT PEPPER AND ONLY HOT PEPPER ALONE, PRACTICE ON NOT MORE THAN ONE PLOT OF LAND THEN SCALE UP BY ADDING HALF OF THE LAND SIZE YOU STARTED PRACTICING WITH TILL AT LEAST 3 ROUNDS FOR EACH PARTICULAR SEASON ( either raining or dry season)
B4 going into large scale production.
I know I might sound like an idiot for giving you such strict instructions but when the jungle matures, u will understand better.

B4 going into large scale production.
I know I might sound like an idiot for giving you such strict instructions but when the jungle matures, u will understand better.

REASONS
1. HOT PEPPER is likely the easiest to manage as a newbie, no staking, easy marketing, has a higher chance to withstand excess rain fall than tomatoes,. Easier to learn the ropes.
Please and please again, don't start with exotic breeds that you must rip off your arm just to buy one seed, source from your locality and plant ones that are in high demand there. Use open pollinated variety for a start then when u a good at it, try hybrid, before trying to buy a seed that cost 1k just for one piece. Patience is the key, keep growing slowly but steadily at this entry stage of urs.
2. The pitfall of many newbie farmers is that they think that landmass=output or profit. They then neglect other factors such as good cultural practice, labor sourcing and management, quality farm input, proper irrigation system etc and plunge into acres of land, thinking that the gurus taking it slow and steady are stupid, within an interval of 2 months, millions have vaporized into thin air with out nothing to show for it.Then watch them sit on the judgement throne to apportionment blames; my staff caused the fall of the project, my farm manager was sick, oohhh , labourers messed me up.
Brother, that old adage " slow and steady wins the race" is strictly a farm principle. Never bite off more than you can chew.
3. I told you to perfect just pepper plant first before going into another thing because inexperience and distraction are the greatest enemies of a newbie not even lack of capital as many erroneously think. Never try killing two birds with one stone, I don't know if it works in other profession but as a newbie in agriculture. Hmmm, doom is your starting point
The key is to practice and perfect only one crop first, then go into another.
Personal experience: I lost half of my melon farm to weed just because I wanted to intercrop with eggplant. Reason being that it was my first time doing melons and I wanted to claim James Bond by multicroping . Went to source and prepare the eggplant nursery. My absence for just seven days dealt me a dirty blow. It will only take careful analysis to know that if I had decided right from the start to plant melon and dat alone, nothing could have kept me away from my farm, not even for two days. B4 I co rally labourers in this hot farming season when they are scarce and everyone telling u they have been booked, it was too late ( mind you, I have done first weeding ooo)
4. Note that knowledge and skills for rainy season production is different from dry season production for each single plant. So if u practice pepper during rainy season, don't be mislead thinking u r an expert already for both rainy and dry season. If u master rainy season, keep scaling up in rainy season production while practicing in microscale in dryseason or vice versa.
I can't tell u the importance of mentors or coach enough, my brother, even at my level, I still visit and work on people's farms for free just to add to my practical knowledge. I have an endless list of people both lower and higher than me I still call to confirm stuffs from.
My last advise for u is this, at this preliminary stage, don't look at the millions quoted by farmers, most of these guys have spent nothing less than a decade learning and fine-tuning their skills. You will only reap sorrow if you do.
Your ultimate goal is to gain knowledge.
Good luck

Why would you say u might sound like an idiot

I believe in the philosophy of start small, starting small also allows for me to know their strength and build on it

thanks very much for ur input
