download the PLANTIX app on Google play store,it will help you identify and tackle issues in crop production,just take a good pic of the diseased crop and the app will diagnosis the problem with treatment options,but the name of their agrochemicals are different,you can't get it easily but you can take the name of the active ingredients and look for similar product in the local market.

Thanks a lot brother

a 1 hp borehole pump can only open effectively 500 meters drip tape at once,but a 5.5 hp pump can open 1000 meters or more very effective at once,I don't think it is a good idea to fertigate NPK fertlizer through drip tapes, because the npk filler is mostly made from soil materials and it can block the emitters causing huge problems,pls use only water soluble fertilizers like urea,Haifa, maxiforce, potassium nitrate,plantzyme,boostxtra.and also as a reminder super gro is not a fertlizer.

Thank God I asked !!! You mean granular npk can cause blockage of enmitters ? See me looking for cheap fertilizer .Thank God !

Please sir,my cuke is at flowering and fruiting stage . How do I mix the potassium nitrate and how often should I give the plants ?

Sir,at what stage did you give them urea ? Thank you very much sir. God bless you sir

For my next production, I will buy some of the water soluble fertilizers you mentioned above. I was even thinking super gro is also a fertilizer. I add it to what I spray once in a while. I will just have to forget it entirely. Thank you s much sir

okoroemeka:
during the first 4 weeks we use a high nitrogen fertilizer like Haifa or maxiforce and fertigate weekly or every 5 days,but from flowering we switch to potassium nitrate or multi k for fruiting and flowering,but apart from balanced ferts like Haifa and co we experimented with urea46% nitrogen as a replacement for more costly Haifa and maxiforce and the results were simply unbelievable,I didn't believe it is possible for a plant to grow so fast and so healthy,we used half painter roughly 2.5kg of urea to 100 ltrs of water we set the Venturi to the lowest setting and fertigated 500 meters(1666 crops) in roughly 30 mins and we switched to another 500 meters with another 100 ltrs urea stock mix and the results were better seen to believe.

Oga Okoroemeka please take a picture of your Venturi injector, I'm having a hard time on how to connect mine to the main pipe.

. How far about that manure fertigation?

I thought it's 12 weeks ?

Talking from a commercial point of view. At ten weeks, the marketable fruits have been harvested.

25g red scorpion pepper seeds ordered and received from my boss, @Okoroemeka.

Thanks boss.. Thanks for the covid19 palliative

I really don't think my father and their forefathers saw anything like covid-19,even during second world war church's didn't totally close down, during Easter imo government ordered church service for Easter but the church's refuse to open their doors,God will see us through,it's well.

We got these pics of supposed npk fertilizer 151515 from a befuddled farmer,it is clear that thing bagged and labelled is nothing but moulded pelletized clay soil,how did it got so bad?this year 70% of the npk fertilizer in the market is fake,farmers will only breath easy when dangote fertilizer hits the market,sure it will be a monopoly,but it will be far better than pelletized soil.

Hello bro, pls how far about that manure fertigation?
.
I have never encountered fake NPK. Although some will look like mud when wet, they still work.

the manure fertigation worked very well the only drawback is particles and microbes clogging up the emitters,if you can find a way of tackling those issues then organic fertigation is a very low cost means of fertilization

Boss you have not snapped the fertigator for us.

HornyTave:


Boss you have not snapped the fertigator for us.

we have disconnected the whole setup and packed it,we are no longer using it now due to rainy season,we will continue during dry season,but I will fix the fertigator to illustrate

This is an old pic of our organic manure fertigation setup,as you can see the big pot in the wheel barrow is roughly 80 ltrs of liquid stock organic fertlizer,the white pipe is the suction for the Venturi injector and the red dial controls the rate which the fertlizer is injected into the irrigation water going to the drip tapes,the big white hose that goes into the Venturi is water pressure from the borehole pump.,also the T connectors and red valves controls water pressure,one side is 500 meters after ifertigating one side with 80ltr ocm,we switch over to another side and use another 80ltrvfor that

Oga okoroemeka does this Venturi injector set up without the bypass allow high pressure of water to pass through it?

HornyTave:


Oga okoroemeka does this Venturi injector set up without the bypass allow high pressure of water to pass through it?

the bypass is just to continue irrigation without the Venturi,so if we finish fertigation we just disconnect the input hose remove the Venturi and connect back the input water hose to drip system,we can even use same Venturi in another farm not necessary to have Venturi at every nook and corner

Is there any farmer here in Enugu state

What is the pressure of the set up like with the Venturi injector?

nothing concern by pass with pressure,the bypass is just to cut off the Venturi when not in use and push ordinary water to the drip tapes,the pressure is from the pump not from the bypass.venturi is used only when fertigating
