Tumeric have a lot of health benefits not only to man, but to our chickens and livestock also. A little research showed me that it can grow in nigeria! But I've hardly seen it being sold in the market. Where can I buy one to plant?

Hello fellow farmers. Pls pardon my ignorance. Whenever I read about some crops, they normally mention something like "1 inch of water" as water requirement for the crop. In simple, clear language can someone explain this to me? Thanks in advance.

Good day everyone. I don't know if anyone have ever thought of this. Banana and plantain trees look exactly the same! Is there any way to differentiate them?

When I planted some cucumbers for experimental purpose, I did not know how much fertilizer to apply, so I used 1 handfull for 2 plants. They grew well but I don't know if I over-fertilized and wasted fertilizer. Your help will be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Pls Who knows? I've not had the time to experiment on this. At least with this valuable info we can estimate the number of bags to get from 1 plot of land.

I have experienced a lot of damage from fruit flies and I've seen them perching on my cuke fruits. One very effective way to get rid of them is by using a protein attractant mixed with an insecticide. The idea is that the females need protein-rich feed before they can mature and start laying eggs. By poisoning these protein attractants, you can kill alot of females and minimize their damage. Will protein rich foods like milk, meat, soybean meal etc do the job? Is their any diy protein attractant recipe I can use?

My experience with gtowing crops like cucumber and watermelon has been a disaster because I didn't applied fungicides to control diseases. And one bad thing is that these diseases normally take hold during periods of constant rainfall and drizzles. So I'm wondering if fungicides will be helpful under such condition. Who knows how I can effectively apply fungicides to control diseases?

Hello all, which pre-emergence herbicide can I use in a cucumber farm that will have no effect on germinated cucumber plants?

Stevia is a safe alternative to sugar. The extract is 300x sweeter than sugar. Healthwise, it has no bad effect on diabetic patience. It can be use to sweeten drinks, baking products, tea etc. All these are interesting. But my headache now is where i can get the cuttings to plant. They said it is better to plant the cuttings than seeds because the seeds hardly germinate and plants grown from seeds tend to have lower sweetness. Pls does anyone know where I can get the cuttings in nigeria? I seriously want to plant it in large quantity.

Good day all. I'm having problem with worm-like creatures that eat my peppers before they ripen. So I'm considering harvesting them when they are mature but still green. Then freeze them for a day or so to kill the worms and then allow them to ripen. Can they still ripen after freezing?

A lady I knew used atrazine in her farm where she planted maize, cassava and some cucumbers and she complained about poor growth. How is it used?

Building pen for poultry no be small expense oo. Pls house I'll need advice to avoid story that touch.

From pictures and description of this disease, I suspect they've always plagued my cucumber plants. What is the best fungicide can I use against it?

Will it be harmfull to them? I'm not concern whether they'll eat it or not. I know that animals, goat inclusive, will hardly eat something they are not used to - except it is extremely palatable. But if you starve them and mix the foreign feed into a very palatable feed they'll eat it and soon get use to the foreign feed. The same thing can happen with cucumber leaves. So my major concern is whether cucumber leaves will pose any danger to goats. Any help?

is it in order to feed maggots to fish?
