nematodes maybe difficult to treat if the crops are already infected,that is why soil treatment is done before planting,but you can still use wormforce and hope for the best,also the survival of a farm starts from the seeds,that's why we used avenir pepper as the foundation stock for our yellow scorpion and red scorpion varieties because it is resistant to nematodes of any type

Thanks boss.
I will try d worm force.
Also how can 1 identify nematode before transplanting because some1 told me it was already infected before I transplanted but I checked d root before transplanting except the ones in nursery nylon

What treatment can be applied to a pepper stand that is already fruiting but infected by Root knot Nematode
Thanks

nappy760:
Picture updates would be highly appreciated.....to motivate us

By God's grace

Edibleskit:
Also is it adviceable to use net and frond to cover the nursery b4 the time for transplanting to avoid insects and pest attacts.

No issues if you can do that

Good morning dear NL

I fertilize once in a month with NPK but nowadays its very difficult to get ,so I have decided to go organic by adding some herbs to my rabbit urine and ferment for 20 days and it's really working Wonder. I don't know if you close by i can send 5lts to you.

How much is the 5ltrs and how how do I measure it in d sprayer b4 spraying

okoroemeka:
we have planted only the yellow variety for three production cycles or 3 years and the yield,colour,flavor,aroma,fruit size and high disease resistance was consistent that why we are going to full scale production,we noticed at the second cycle some plants will have yellow fruit but will eventually turn red when fully riped so we selected carefully only ones that remains yellow after fully riped and did that for another 3 times before breeding out the offenders,we did 200 grams because we need 5000 seedlings and a monastery nearby also needs some couple of thousands..

wow. ..great job. keep it bro

Edibleskit:
Thanks sir. Some suggested SAAF as fungicide and Lamdaca as insectide.

No issues u can use those as well

Edibleskit:
Please update this thread. I want to know if you spray pepper with insecticide or fungicide. If you use any chemicals what chemicals do you use and at what point.

Also I want to plant pepper this month, is it adviceable to plant pepper at this period. Am trying to plant ahead of December.
Thanks

I use redforce and Zforce as fungicides and attache but later switched to Lara force as insecticides/pesticide. Just look for any good fungicides and pesticides. You can start spraying 1 month after transplanting and @ 2 wks interval though some spray at every week

ogbongenet:
when there's no enough water for plant to survive... Farming this get as e be,the rain is not reliable at all . I help a friend transplanted some pepper seedlings(like than 1000 stands) on Monday,till Friday there's no rain ..

Thank God the rain has started the 2 heavy rains is answer to my prayers, the pepper have started rejuvenating the leaves coming out afresh including flowers and fruiting.
All praise to God Almighty Jehovah

jidestroud:
Walahi, the matter taya me ooooo!!! It's a win win for agro section. Got the seeds for N1,700 each 5grams.

which seed company sells them

What is happening to pepper farm this year. Leaf shrinking and flowering and fruiting slowing and even halting is it d lack of rain and what is d remedy

nzedon2:
@ Teetunz64 and codeQue the pepper has arrived I mean the bakker brothers but I noticed that the place the write the expire date is on a sticker on the pepper tin.

Where can one get it in Ibadan or Ogun state

What might be the cause of pepper leave suddenly becoming thin at the top and the leave no longer full

stfadaanthony:
Pls can I have your contact? I seriously need your assistance because I am starting my very very soon

zero8zero608000nine3 u can wasapp me

Remember that the maize will be harvested and give way for the pepper and d pepper will give way for Cocoyam\Ugboma or Elegede after d life span is over also d Okro will give way for d pepper I guess.
Since Cocoyam leave will be large while together u can bend or cut off the Cocoyam leave it will grow again.

As promised these are the pictures showing how I qaa able to intercrop pepper with Cocoyam, Maize, Okro and even Elegede it looks like Watermelon or Egusi when fruiting Igbo call it Ugbama or Ugbogolo.

My pepper update @ 3 months and 20 days.
1 stand already got a ripped fruit .....
We will also talk about space maximizing or utility
where you have additional crop e.g Okro, Maize or
Cassava on some heap on or bed especially if you
want e.g pepper to cover your land portion but don't
want to divide it.
It will be an open debate and how practicable is it.
Am doing it for the first time
Pix will be sent on the ones I have on some of my
pepper heap
Thanks

I have Cocoyam on the pepper heap pepper will go and give way for it to keep growing. When the lCocoyam leaves are too wide while still 2geda with d pepper I can either bend them or cut them off later they will grow.
I also have Okro and maize maize will go and pepper will keep producing.
What do u guys think
Scroll up to see the pictures including the ripening pepper stand

meat griller kill you there

Stop this on this thread pls

okoroemeka:
kudos,that pics is a very healthy pepper crop,I think you should apply urea fertilizer at this stage for incredible growth, remember your fungicides,check leaf underside,track, uproot and dispose any plant showing signs of abnormality,leaf crinking or wilting.

ideepaul:
I still believe Padma f1 and gahmar F1 from zwaan yield is better than this! The Padma I am doing a trial of about 100 crops is doing very well so far

Yes Padma F1 and Platinum F1 (I planted it last year during dry season the yield is amazing imagine having like 80 - 120 fruit on a stand) from East West are high yielding variety but I don't know much about Gahmar from Thai Agro that their marketer have told me about.
It was Platinum F1 I used to open this thread.
I will post the pix if I have the time

hargbolahan01:
are you in ibadan... I would love to learn from you

Am in Ogun State about 30 mins drive to challenge in Ibadan

bizzibodi:
Till d soil make raised ridges,wet d beds..planted d seeds & cover with fronds.

When u say planted the seeds you mean to say you broadcasted it right.
When pepper or other extracted seeds are not well prepared and stored it can cause the seed not to sprout.
Also make sure you buy seed from tested and trusted seed dealer or seller.
Why not buy improved or high breed seed next time
Thanks

bizzibodi:
It local pepper seeds.

How did you prepare your bed

softplace:
youve been banned just wait till like tomorrow evening

NL working fine on Opera but not working well on my phone default

jackomagnus:
Weldone.
Please what are the names of the varieties that we usually see in the market that command good price? Especially the round ones they bring from the north

thanks

That should be Roma tomatoes.

bizzibodi:
Why do I plant pepper & it fail to germinate is there a better method?do I have to soak it in warm water?

If is high breed you need to break the dormancy by soaking in warm water over night.
You also need to check the expiration date on the sachet always make sure is a year or two ahead before expiration.
Give us update if is high breed and the date on the pack and what variety is it

gabbysegzy:
well-done sir , but does it necessary to put it inside the pure water nylons before transferring it to the heaps after 25 days?

Not necessary bro but very nice if u can do it because from the bed if u transfer to nylon it will help you manage water and time then when rain is stable u can move it to heap but if u move it straight from bed to heap you will use more water and spend more time watering and if d weather is harsh it will burn your pepper just as many farmers experienced
