“Farming is now precision and that's why someone will get 300 bags from 1000 plants and another will be happy with the normal 40 bags from same plants!”
“Fruit Vegetables don't use urea or very little. Imagine someone using urea and 20-10-10. What formation is that?”

“Yellow leaf curl virus in farmers language is a dangerous disease.”
“Cross pollination can't happen. But you need to up your spray program because they both belong to same family cucurbits and can share some pests especially aphids between each other.”
“I will update on another two farms, one 2850 population at Ibadan (day 30) and the other 1850 at Awka (day 37)”

“This is downy mildew disease. You need good fungicide to treat them.”
“Hdpe pipes are best for irrigation farming. PVC pipes are simply not cost effective at all.”
“Darina fruits faster and has bigger fruits which will stress the plant more and it also has zero Dm resistance.”
