the variety of the cucumber important as well

[G-DUB]

Right now cucumber selling $250 ah bag and expedition is the best variety on the market.

Anyone ever plant large scale cucumber? A padna of mine try planting 5 acres of it under caroni green and it failed terribly.

Dey does plant seed or seedlings? How do they set up the land?

[EFFECTIC DESIGNS]

Somefolks planted 3 Acres of cucumber where I live which is same soil as Caroni and it came real good. But offcourse they plough up the soil real good full works, real chemicals and tons of fowl manure. He had the seeds soaking in some kind of chemical over night in a bucket A black looking chemical.

I plant 200 cucumber trees in a land that was abandoned for 30 years so the soil supposed to be very fertile I guess I go see how good they gonna come or if this experiment will fail. I didn't plough though. it also needs a LOT of water

[Chimera]

I feel it wud be better under pnm. Avinash singh is a actual farmer who would understand the needs of farmers.

I give up on swipering this land and decided to buy poison instead and spray it. I spray about quarter acre 2 days ago but not seeing any chance int he grass. I use Swiper Poison $120 a Gallon. Mixed it correct 250ML for 4 Gallon of water. I soaked the grass pretty good I would say, any idea on how long it would take this grass to start drying?

The grass is like 7 Feet tall solid hard bamboo grass. . Is that too tall to spray

[shake d livin wake d dead]

would be difficult ^ but try 2-4-D in addition to the swiper

[Pointman-IA]

If it is raining, the swiper won't be effective.

In about a week ..Once you spray in sunny conditions . The spray needs to penentrate for at least an hour before it rains ..you should be fine.

All glyfosate are the same. I use Glyfos + __L . Takes a little over a week to start to show and should be used with a sticker. It's the best for grass, it goes thru the leaves and down to the root to kill the weeds. That's why it takes so long to notice. It is broad spectrum and systemic . Lasts longer than gramoxone to control weeds. Safer / less toxic...but doh drink it eh!

[York]

Oh a tractor woulda cost $200 to cut that quarter acre. They charge $600 per acre now.

anyone knows how many pounds of cucumber is produced per plant? Tried a few seedlings today. I had tried seeds a few years back but was not productive. Did ploughing and rotovating.

[EFFECTIC DESIGNS]

Ow ok thanks didn't realize it would take a week to see results, yeah I spray when it was sunny. Rain came 3 hours later so I think that should have been enough time for swiper to soak in, I know roundup advertises as rain proof in 30 minutes not sure if swiper is the same.

I would have paid a tractor but its more than quarter acre, its actually 1.25 acre I sprayed 1/4 Acre so far is what I meant. Just wanna see how it goes first before I spray more.

Fellas I have a Pommecythere tree that's basically dying branch by branch...the trunk is turning completely white as well.

There are still some healthy branches on it...was wondering if saving the tree by growing cuttings from it would actually work???...they're about 3ft long and still green

If not i'll just have to cut it down :'(

This happened to me tree got a fungus so I chop down everything and left it to grow all over....I'd take pics to show how it is now....

[Ronaldo95163]

Thing is that it was previously cut down and it started back to blossom.
Was growing really quickly till the fungus started affected it. Now it's dying branch by branch

[York]

Arent there any effective fungus treatments? Check Caribbean Chemicals...

[Chimera]

ent acrobat is a fungicide

[Chimera]

yuh hadda beware of agri shops eh

better u ask here or other farmers

dem agri shops does sell u any and everything they have

[York]

From time to time, Caribbean Chemicals does have free testing on diseased samples at Southern Chemical on Ramsaran st, chaguanas. It's not just any fungicide, it's specific to the one that's causing the problem. There's a kinda greenish-blue one that attacks many fruit trees.

The benefit of a forum like this is that you can share your experiences, so....

[Chimera]

the agri office in chase village use to do free diagnosis as well

the first or last friday in every month.....cant remember the day or if they still do it
just hadda walk with yuh branch or plant n dey guh tell u d scene
