green go and Murano are scare in the market right now,do your research and look for any other available variety that you can manage,cu 986 is another good medium sized cucumber variety that is suited for many markets

Thank you as always boss, but my concern is if the cu986 is dark green. I am doing a bit of research on other variety.

Darina performed very poorly on my farm.. same Farm greengo and cu999 did well.

After trying out 5 cucumber variety,

Murano 2 F1 - terrible planting it alone and got ripped easily
Tokyo - takes too long, not mind blowing production
Greengo - sweet production,
Cu999 - another sweet production, just that my market is selective
Darina - worse ever for me... maybe I don't know how to cultivate it.

Greengo is my preferred choice(just that this seed is damn expensive) and cu999 as a pollinator

For AKEES 500 oron road, call 08108013872.
Sorry I could not get Ekponwa's no as I went for a burial.... btw, I hope you are not calling them for greengo seeds? I am certain you won't get it from them as that cultivar doesn't sell around here

Oh, I intended calling for greengo. Obviously the seed is out of stock. Thanks all thesame.

cu 999 is an incredible cucumber variety,it is reliable and dependable,we have tried all the varieties above including marketer,supermarkter,Poinsett,market more,lion seed,monalisa,saira,cu 986,etc.but the cu 999 has an unbeatable pedigree,due to market preference it may be well fertilized to achieve deep green color and harvested at 40-43 days to get medium size fruits

I have heard so much about tomatoes and I think it's time to give it a trial,a friend planted the Thai agro uc3034 variety and smiled happily to the bank,we are gearing up for tomatoes next year rainy season that when tomatoes are very costly.

.
Is this tomato resistant to sudden wilting?

okoroemeka:
a bag of cucumbers by January cannot be anything less than #5-6k per bag,it is almost impossible to fail with cu 999,it is guaranteed old school variety,Murano with low male flowers and lack of pollinating insects in January harmattan will not be funny, bending Yash cucumbers will plenty for that farm.

currently selling for #5,500 to #6k at mile 12

Zhitsu:


Good evening brother
Can l get 5g of Murano 2F1 and plant it along side Cu999 on a plot??

And do you know where l can get staking net?? And how much is it?

How much can l get 5g of Murano please?


Thanks

staking net available @#4,000 for 100m length by 2m high

Intendy:


currently selling for #5,500 to #6k at mile 12

maybe an artificial high caused by the unusual long August break,it may still fall when farmers start planting again or it may even continue to rise, nothing is normal anymore

okoroemeka:
1 plot and small attachmeñt like one third of a plot

How many bags can be achieved from 1000 sacks�

What is your contact and location?

Plz where can one buy cu999 seed in abeokuta.......

I predicted the increase in the price of cucumber during the lock down and that was why I planted immediately after the lock down. Currently I ought to he smiling to the bank but guess what,

I planted a seed variety of cucumber I wasn't used to. Closed to 18,000 stand of cucumber, barely producing to fill 20 bags. When the last 5,000 seed variety I planted, I got almost 300 bags total harvest.

Right now I am pissed and disappointed. I invested alot and I am losing.

Thanks for the tip, i will look for fertilizer before weekend and apply some, i have only applied manure and urea before now. though i have cut some more than 4 times, is there still hope for those ones to produce pods?

On your intention to start planting by Novembermber, i would suggest you start planting a bit earlier if you have the means, ugu gets very expensive between November and April and still sells fairly in May. that gives you 6-7 months of good sales, but if you start planting by November, and start harvest by January, the plants will need up to another one month to start producing at high capacity, that leaves you with a maximum of 4 months for sales with good price.

Dear All,
i thought about coming here to continue sharing my experiences on my Ugu project. I decided to leave it alone for seeds and not touch it due to the wicked market conditions and it ended up being a blessing in disguise as the drought finally set in. This is approx. 7 weeks of no rainfall at Ikorodu, Lagos and am smiling because the weeds are busy protecting my very vulnerable plant roots for me to avoid them from burning out while that of other farms has started withering off. Male flowers has started forming so i intend weeding & fertilizing it once the rains begin in September while praying & hoping that it will produce the seeds i will use for my dry season farming in November as the cost of Ugu seeds is outrageously high and that is the only limiting factor for me to embark on dry season farming.
i am patiently waiting for those who set the market conditions during the dry season while i will keep updating the house as i journey through.
potential dry season buyers should keep this number 08183549869- Emmanuel.

I'll suggest you water now and apply fertilizer if you have the means to do so, those weeds will be competing for nutrients with the ugu, especially now that you are expecting fruits, so if have access to water, you should clear the weeds, allow them to dry and use the dried grass as mulch at the base of the plant, this will help in reducing water loss due to evaporation.

You plant greengo with cu999 as pollinator

Good evening to you all, which one is the best between rabbit and chicken manure?

And can someone plant directly to rabbit manure?

Hello farmers in the house. Please can I plant Murano alone? 1000seeds alone.

Good evening to you all, which one is the best between rabbit and chicken manure?

Rabbit manure is the Best by a long margin...but it's not available in large quantities, and it's really expensive!
I would only advice you use it's manure if;
You are planning to cultivate that land for the long-term
You have a rabbit farm and it's available to you cheaply
The farm is in a densely populated area

Which seed Variety did you use this time around

Darina. Got my hands burnt... I have instructed them to clear everything off.

Silvereze:

Not that greengo canthe grow on its own, just that I like playing it safe because from research, greengo is a gynoecious (or is it pf can't remember ). However, I planted it with cu999 to be on a safe side with the male flowers.

Darina. Got my hands burnt... I have instructed them to clear everything off.

Sorry about that

Why didn't you go for Murano and use cu999 as pollinator

It's not good to change what has been working for you... Instead improve on it to Increase your yields

Boss, I have learnt the hardest way. Over 2 million naira investment still languishing. I hope I can recover. Else I leave this country for you all.

Please an really interested in this cucumber farming.
Also I need a good farmland for sale around the west any idea pls.

My advise, don't plant murano alone, though I once planted murano 2 F1 alone come see all my flower aborting also It ripen on time.

But if you want to go for it, plant it with a male dominated cucumber to be on a safe side.

Below are the cucumber variety I have planted and my convlusion

Murano 2 F1 - terrible planting it alone and got ripped easily
Tokyo - takes too long, not mind blowing production
Greengo - sweet production,
Cu999 - another sweet production, just that my market is selective

Darina - worse ever for me... maybe I don't know how to cultivate it.

My major issue with murano is that it gets ripe on time. And those aboki will start using it as an excuse to price is cheap

Murano2F1 easily ripped off as in how??

Okoroemek suggested cu999 as a good pollinator for Murano2F1

What's the duration of cu999

I cannot experiment with any unproven variety again,cu 999 is very flexible and can be grown for specific market,proper spacing of 50-60cm and good fertilization program will give you dark greenish cukes also you can choose to harvest from 40-44 days to get medium sized cukes.with good management cu999 never fails to give good yields,but some varieties even with top notch management their yields are miserable,an example is when we planted lion seed and cu 999 on same land and same management but the lion seed gave 60% less than cu999,it is incredible to see healthy green crops with no cucumbers to harvest, incredible!!!
