Can someone out there give me a breakdown of ugwu farming. Cost of seeds, fertilizer etc. And also its yield per acre and hectare respectively. Thanks.

@ OP if I may ask do you know how the said crop is been cultivated? It management, handling, challenges, marketing etc......

amerengues:
Thank you for visiting. I have in mind to plant cucumber,watermelon,Ugwu+ewedu. Though I know I may not have enough resources. But what is your advice?

Which among these crops do you have knowledge about and which among is highly demanded for, make ur findings and go for the one that will give u good revenue............

NB planting watermelon at this time is 50/50 chance........

Manuge:
I hav just started d process of planting my water melon on 300 by 300 land space.

300 centimeter, Meter, Kilometer or mile?

You can contact ths guy, just read it here on NL, I decide to copy and paste His thread:

My wife found this in our neighbourhood. Any ideas?

Pic 1: The outside

Pic 2: The inside

Th plant which bears this fruit is called “Ejinrin“ in yoruba language, the leaf is used to treat/cure malaria, the plants and the fruits look similar to bitter gourd which cure diabetes (reduce sugar lever)...

Pics of my new hatchery

well done boss.

saliubello:
Under what trade name are copper oxide marketed? Same thing is happening here.

I know of koxide. U can ask ur dealer for other brand.

webhostbiz:
@soloxam thank you. The seed I planted is murano the one I bought from your office at ibadan. I will buy the copper oxide and use to see the result. Thank you

if it is murano u planted don't be disturb, it is tolerant to downy mildew, just get copper oxide and spray at 5 days interval. Cos it infected already. But I advice every cucumber farmer to start spraying as early as possible to prevents this disease, they said prevention is better than cure......

Itanola:
more.pics

Waooo madam in Ekiti, I got u, welcome on board, God bless our hustling.....

OLAMIMO12:
l will spray fungicide soon........l suspected leave roll on two plants

Leave roll is cause by red spider or TYLCV, I advice u cut out the affected parts or remove the the two plant completely.....

Neduzze5:
How can he/we get the copper oxide?

Go to any agro shops who sales chemicals, tell them u want any fungicide that contain copper oxide...... I know of KOXIDE.

@ op you said no chemicals has been used, I think this is a fungi infection called downy mildew, it started with a brownish spot at the middle and the leave margins burnt........ Copper oxide is the solution. It a major disease cucumber farmers face especially during raining season. One way to control is that avoiding over head irrigation but how do u control that in raining season? It not possible cos u can't stop rain..... That is why we advice u plant a resistance verities or a verity that is tolerant to such disease......

If it and Hybrid seeds u planted, don't worry much just apply the copper oxide but if it an open pollinated, pls try again later......

mercylicious:
@ solxam and joive, will d altrazine also kill plantains? Ive already bought it. I plan to mix it with forceup for my plantains as the weeds have outgrown my plantain.

@joive, how is your maize farm? I tot you would have delighted us with updated pics.
I spoke with the stock exchange maize woman I told you abt, she asked if I could trust you, after much talk, she requested for your no . so bad I didn't go out that evening with my phone that has your no as it was evening. I will see her again. She asked for same day harvested corn. She asked if you needed someone to help you sell.
When she calls, tell her exactly what you want and discus how she will get the same day harvested corn.

That woman is a champion this side as ppl drive extra distance to get her corn. Ppl be truthful to her and don't disappoint.

@ Mercylicious sincerely I have not used attrazine in plantian farm cos I don't farm plaintian bu I will ask from someone who sales this product......... Get back to you soon.....

Hybridseeds:
In agriculture and gardening, hybrid seed is seed
produced by cross-pollinated plants. Hybrid seed
production is predominant in agriculture and home
gardening. It is one of the main contributors to the
dramatic rise in agricultural output during the last half of
the 20th century.[1] The alternatives to hybridization are
open pollination and clonal propagation.[2]
All of the hybrid seeds planted by the farmer will produce
similar plants while the seeds of the next generation from
those hybrids will not consistently have the desired
characteristics. Controlled hybrids provide very uniform
characteristics because they are produced by crossing two
inbred strains. Elite inbred strains are used that express
well-documented and consistent phenotypes (such as high
crop yield) that are relatively good for inbred plants.[2]
Hybrids are chosen to improve the characteristics of the
resulting plants, such as better yield, greater uniformity,
improved color, disease resistance. An important factor is
the heterosis or combining ability of the parent plants.
Crossing any particular pair of inbred strains may or may
not result in superior offspring. The parent strains used
are therefore carefully chosen so as to achieve the
uniformity that comes from the uniformity of the parents,
and the superior performance that comes from heterosis.

Though it a copy and paste, am sure you can see that both are not same and u can desired which to use among the two......

WHAT IS GMO? A GMO (genetically modified organism) is the result of a laboratory process where genes from the DNA of one species are extracted and artificially forced into the genes of an unrelated plant or animal. The foreign genes may come from bacteria, viruses, insects, animals or even humans. Because this involves the transfer of genes, GMOs are also known as “transgenic” organisms. This process may be called either Genetic Engineering (GE) or Genetic Modification (GM); they are one and the same. The term “genetic modification” is used both commonly and legally to refer to the use of recombinant DNA techniques, in ways that are not possible or desirable in nature, to transfer genetic material between organisms. This concept of genetic modification brings about alterations in genetic makeup and in the properties of the organism developed. This technique using genetic engineering is highly mutagenic and leads to unpredictable changes in the DNA and the proteins produced by the GMO that can lead to toxic or allergic reactions. GM proponents will argue that “genetic modification” has been used for centuries in an attempt to blur the lines and create confusion. Traditional genetics used selective breeding, tissue cultures, hybridization and other methods that assists nature but does not circumvent natural laws. The methods used to transfer the genes of modified DNA of a genetically modified plant are imprecise and unpredictable. These unintended changes are possible differences in the food’s nutritional values, toxic and allergic effects, lower crop yields and unforeseen harm to the environment that cannot be recalled.

Please, I don't know if you know any were I can get cocopeat and trays for plant nursery to buy in Nigeria. I live in Edo State.

OLAMIMO12:
Mr Sam, you know me now. l dont disrespect. check all my post, l dont fight at all. l mean the seed producer, not you suppliers. Let me tell you this. l asked a supplier of maturity days of an hybrid cucumber presented to me, the one said 68 days. can you imagine that ! So, dont personalise issues again. this is social forum. Anyway, am sorry.

@Olamimo, you know me as well I don't fight too, but I just have to clear the air. So that people who are reading this for the first time will not think it same every where. Am sorry too if I have off set u or anyone reading our conversations...........

God bless us real good.

Neduzze5:
I planted it deep in the ground. I feel that is the reason but I will check it tomorrow to see how far.

except that.
