Tohpeh:
Mehn! This is work. Filling into pure water sachet will be stress not to talk of transferring on heap.

Why not transplant straight to heap from bed nursery?
Any thing I need to know please?

Thanks for the concern bro.
Some1 has expressed this concern as well, check my post above to see the reason for that.
But honestly is fun doing it. No stress at all

Update on sand sorting mixed with manure also more pure water sachet

The pictures are not displaying

Pruning undisputed...... The Champ!

I pruned some pepper while on bed. I did it on both beds. I saw it form another head of Y making two Y or two heads on a single plant while the remaining plants still have just 1 head or Y, they were also shorter and ticker.

But the one with manure is the best #Stronger #Thicker #Shorter. Manure all the way!

still transplanting on pure water nylon

Heap making have also started today.

May Jehovah bless my hustle

Pepper with manure and without manure.

The bed with manure have broader leaves while the one without manure have thin leaves;;

jidestroud:
Just sent you a message on WhatsApp.

Thanks I got it u d best

jidestroud:
Did you nurse them with tomato seeds?

Oh I see, seeds were gotten from open-source. Reason for the few tomato seeds.
Understandable.

@Jidestroud I sent you message via your email. Kindly check

Thanks

MDDarah84:
You could have just transplanted them to heaps.You are already stressing the plants and yourself by with the nursery.My experience in pepper farming is subsistence but I have full blown Benue pepper farmers around my factory.Heap and transplant, please

Thanks.

The rain is not yet defined planting on heap will require me wetting all plant in all d heap in a vast portion of land plus the heat that now na real die.

Buy if in a nylon you will manage it well in a small portion with adequate water. They will continue their growth there, I will have the luxury to transplant anytime I want

veggieman2be:
Thanks boss. I have filled about 250 pure water sachet with sand but without manure I will fill another set with manure and transplant in twos per bag.

Can I prune pepper while on the heap or must it be done on single grow bags

After much deliberation I finally took a decision.

I decided to transplant on the about 250 sachets without manure I had already.

Before you transplant to make the whole process easy do the following

I. Wet the nursery nylon already with the sand. After transplanting you don't have to wet again it also makes transplanting easy

II. Use your finger or stick that is not too tiny maybe the thickness of your finger to form hole at the middle of the nylon where you will deep the seedlings into and cover

I will post the practical pix later.

These are pix of the transplanted pepper and the difference between the two beds.

The bed with manure have broader leaves compared with the one without manure.

Manure all the way no contest at all. I finally see the work of manure

I've been so preoccupied with series of farm activities; from my goats farming to kuroiler monthly production at 4weeks, to my newly foreign turkey projects.

The whatsapp line has been deactivated jare. Got loads of people taking advantage of the line. Also stopped people from coming over, learnt the hard way . Nevertheless, I'm still very much in the tomato business. Setting up one around Mowo - Ikoga soonest.

I'm here to learn from you jare. Best wishes.

I want to learn tomatoes how can you put me through. The first one I did platinum yielded massively I did it between Aug and November but the leave started dying harvested some tomatoes anyways.

I even created a trend for it but due to busy schedule I could not continue with update

I will appreciate your help.

my2chains:
hmm, our dear pistotita death has caused us grieve a little

because of this i wont eat okro soup today,

just a gesture to respect this one time researcher we all knew him to be

farewell pistotita!

The man behind that moniker is a great man

Let me get something right. Pistotita as in death in real life or death on NL ( maybe no longer active)

Kindly clarify

.
May be sellers are cheating u. Furafan 1kg is sold for N400 in Onitsha main MKT.[/quote]Really

OluchiDelly:
The popular one is furadan. Its sold less than 1.5k per kg. Its tiny granules like ewedu seeds.
When you finished dressing your bed, broadcast it same way u broadcast ewedu seed. Slightly incorporate it in by using rake, then wet it after or before applying your seed.

Thanks for these insight

OluchiDelly:
Am not talking about the seedlings, but the seeds pls i need it badly, I have bn searching to purchase it. All markets here really crave for the Cotonou variety. Though the fruits are smaller than avenir and co, they assume all big fruits are not peppery

The seed is scarce here as well but I will ask and get back to you if I find any

veggieman2be:
How much is Nematicide and how do I apply or use it on the soil before broadcasting.

Thanks

Though what I did was burn fire as suggested by @Okoroemeka I then pile the left over allow sun to heat the spot then m I think the next day in the evening I tilledd the place. More info on what I did is on my messages on my trend

Psalmy2cute:
balls on the root? that's nematodes.. the soil was infected and they should have used Nematicide on the soil before making the nursery bed.. or even still, sterilising the soil would have done the work

How much is Nematicide and how do I apply or use it on the soil before broadcasting.

Thanks

okoroemeka:
that nursery is far too congested,problems may start to manifest,if you are busy and cannot organize for single grow bags , prepare another area were the crops can be thinned and transplanted out well spaced so they can continue to grow,but the best solution is to use single grow bags it saves a lot of mortality by transplant shock and excess heat, even if it's two plants by bag as we did with our eggplant nursery,we used ordinary black nylon used by market women there's a size that is same with normal grow bags,just get those use workers and fill it with soil mixed with manure,it will be added expenses but you will be grateful in the end

Thanks boss. I have filled about 250 pure water sachet with sand but without manure I will fill another set with manure and transplant in twos per bag.

Can I prune pepper while on the heap or must it be done on single grow bags

The Cotonue man that gave me the seeds told me he lost all his seedlings that they all dried up about 4 different nurseryg beds also the roots have something like balls entangled he said if you transplant such pepper with that kind of root that it will never do well.

My questions are

1. What are the causes because they don't know the cause but when he visited my site he was wowed by the germination and disease free seedlings.

2. Can fungicide be applied on nursery bed

OluchiDelly:
Pls I need this Benin rep variety, how can u be of help. The fruits are smaller, that's the demand of my markets here.

Am yet to transplant. After transplanting I will get back in touch with you to talk about how you can get them.

tpben:
Which variety?

Is opv from Benin Republic and Benue People Igede precisely

Psalmy2cute:
this looks like local opv, I may be wrong.. I dont believe anyone who planted hybrid will leave it open.. this is how local farmers in my area do their nursery... though it's quite economical.. and it leads to healthy competition btw plants.. Goodwork

Yes bro is opv. Which improved local or hybrid can I use during the raining season because I heard hybrid don't survive the rain, how true is that

jidestroud:
Did you nurse them with tomato seeds?

Oh I see, seeds were gotten from open-source. Reason for the few tomato seeds.
Understandable.

Yea bro. As I stated they are opv from Benue and Benin republic that is why few tomatoe are there.

Stay tuned for

1. Making of heap and spacing

2. Transplanting

But meanwhile am confused..... Some suggested I

I. Transplant on heap that the height is Ok, the pepper is just a month

II. Some say I should transplant on pure water nylon 1st to avoid shock that will kill most and also that the heat is too much

III. While others say I should still leave them on the bed till end of March then I can transfer them to the bed

Which should I follow also what treatment and fertilization program should I follow should I change my mind from using Agrited chicken waste ( Am using dried one must I compost it before using)

The pix as at today

Beautiful tread. Am interested in rice farming as well I have wanted to learn that from my dad who farms rice in the east. I will keep following this page to have an overview knowledge first

Keep us updated

What is the difference between broiler, noiler and kuroiler

@Okoroemeka and @Ogbongenet your input will be appreciated I planned using agrited chicken manure all through the harvest by Gods Grace. What treatment can I use since am using opv/ hairloom seed was my expected ROI if I do 1000 stands.

Thanks

I'm here to learn from you jare. Best wishes.[/quote]Good one bro knowing you moving forward. How do we reconnect add me back on your new line I want to ask some questions on tomatoes because the last one I did plantinum 701 was doing fine but suddenly after fruiting the leaves started drying off.

The pepper as at today...... The 2 beds. The one without manure is fuller while the one with manure looks scanty but no damage they all came out well

Okoroemeka advised moving them to SGM or pure water nylon after 21 - 26 days. But mine is almost a month yet to move because of another farm am managing, I will be moving them/transplantating on Monday.

I promise posting the result of the nursed pepper today here they are. This is after 8 days.

I did the following
A. Wetting every 2 days but discretion is needed always make sure your bed is not dried while the palm frod is still directly covered on the pepper. You can raise d palm frod to find out.

B. After the 8 days I carefully removed all the palm frod I then build a tent over the tender a pepper seedlings while still making use of the old palm frod together with new ones for pfor proper shading

C. Wetting was still done every 2 days with watering can but sometimes it can b a day interval depending on the soil dryness

jidestroud:
Good one. I'm here to learn

@Jidestroud where have you been. Thanks for your mentorship. Your wasapp line doesn't work again.

My pepper nursery bed of 3wks plus 4 days. Yet to transfer to pure water nylon

7. Covering with palm frod and wetting again

Update of the result will be posted tomorrow by Gods grace

6. Now the real work starts ..... I did the Nursery broadcasting in the evening doing the following ( I did the broadcasting on the 9th of Feb 2020 )

A. I used water to damp the nursery bed to make it wet and to cool the ground off

B. I used rake to further clear it off debris

C. Then I broadcasted (I used 2 beds I applied dried chicken waste on 1st bed and the 2nd bed just the soil to see if there will be any significant difference or damage)

D. Then the broadcasting ( the bed with manure I I used drip method for the broadcast just few lines)
