500 seed is 7500 here and 1000 seed 15k. Have seen Tokyo production and it fine too, you can try it. If greengo Cucumber do well and don't sick@ 3k you will make huge profit. Using myself as an example, my first harvest is 20 bag, Do the math. Am going to market tomorrow to know current price.

Alright boss, I understand Greengo produces dark green and bigger fruits and that it exhibits greater resistance to diseases.

On the average, how many cucus do you have per stand of your cucumber?

How many cucus fill up a sack?

if your female flowers are aborting, especially in high numbers, something is wrong with your farm!

. Oga, I'm not a boss yet o. Fruits from a well managed crop should be okay for 5 days. Most of it should still be edible by the 7th day except the head region which would likely shrink.

i experienced drooping of the plant when sun start coming out. So I was kind of afraid let it not be that is heat stress which may lead to bitter fruits. So asking if anyone have experienced such

pls! enlighten me on this, am using only Saaf, and buying Cabrio now doesn't Worth it. Or are you suggesting I use something like funguforce?

I think he meant using copper based fungicide and I think timely pruning will reduce DM as their would be better ventilation

copper based fungicides are very good and also a lil bit pricy as I always see them in small 50g packs @ N500, I wonder how many packs he will use per application since his farm is big.

funguforce and saaf are just the same chemicals with different brand names (mancozeb 63% carbendazim 12%). funguforce gold and ridomil gold are made up of mancozeb and metataxyl, though they are a lil bit more expensive. if I were you, I would buy that cabrio, use it once and then alternate with the other fungicides, both mancozeb and copper based if the infection is not at the stage of NO NEED! cabrio has a better systemic action, and as such will help manage the issue better than funguforce and saaf, then you prune the affected leaves if you can.

I've not really noted that. But on average you should plug fruits in 40 to 42 days from germination.
