Pls bro, need you help on my jst starting farm |
Re: Planting Tomato - My Experience(photos) by rabzy: 1:36am On Jul 02, 2016 |
holluville: It depends on if your soil has the required nutrients. For a starter plant, it needs good nitrogen to grow and be sturdy, for adequate stem growth and foliage. But be careful with fertilizer especially nitrogen rich fertilizers so that it won't burn your palnt |

lordhugo: I'm curious how did your tomatoes fare? I've read NOT to plant tomatoes with any of the brassicas as they inhibit tomato growth. |
Re: Planting Tomato - My Experience(photos) by lordhugo(m): 5:57pm On Jul 11, 2016 |
dashiki: Hehe. Tomatoes that i have sold. The tomatoes did good. The brassicas do not inhibit growth. They simply use away the nitrogen that would have gone into making leaves for the tomatoes (inhibiting growth in a sense) while leaving more phosphates in the soil which helps flowering and fruit setting. This is "common sense" as most organic and inorganic ferts available in the Nigerian setting are rich in nitrogen... Imagine tomato likes dodo while brassicas love beans. So it's like i gave both of them beans and dodo in one plate because the food seller doesn't sell one without the other. Let them sort out their feed themselves. This is necessary because if tomato is in a nitrogen rich medium, it will get too leafy and bushy with less fruit. (to others people- abeg brass I as are simply cabbage and its family members) I planted in sacks recently and here they are... 4 Likes

Hoop-Mulching and Advantages @ NATE FARMS ENT. NIG LTD an Agro/Livestock company in Nigeria Focused on changing the face of Agriculture in Nigeria/Africa Call us today for your Agriculture turn-key projects @+2348132478092 or email info@natefarms.com Advantages Increased soil temperature: At a 2 inch depth; 4 to 5°F under black mulch, or 8 to 10°F under clear mulch. Reduced soil compaction: Soil under plastic mulch remains loose, friable and well-aerated. Roots have access to adequate oxygen and microbial activity is excellent. Reduced fertilizer leaching: Water runs off the impervious mulch, resulting in maximum utilization of the fertilizer. Reduced drowning of crops: Water is shed from the row area and excess water runs off the field thus reducing drowning and other excess soil water stresses. Reduced evaporation: Soil water does not escape from under plastic mulch. Plant growth on mulch is often at least twice that on bare soil. The resulting larger plants will require more water, so mulching is NOT a substitute for irrigation. Cleaner product: A mulched crop is cleaner and less subject to rots due to elimination of soil splashing on the plants or fruits. Note: Beds should be firm and tapered away from the row center. Plastic should be tight to promote run-off. There should be no puddles on the mulched beds! Root pruning eliminated: Cultivation is not necessary except for the area between the mulched strips. Therefore, roots are not pruned. Reduced weed problems: Black and IRT plastic mulch provides good weed control in the row. Clear plastic will require use of a herbicide, fumigation or lifting the mulch and cultivating. Often, weeds between mulch strips can be controlled by a herbicide. Earlier crops: Black plastic mulch can result in 2 to 14 days earlier harvest while clear plastic can result in a 21-day earlier harvest. Increased growth: Plastic mulch is practically impervious to carbon dioxide (CO2), a gas that is of prime importance in photosynthesis. Very high levels of CO2 build up under the plastic, because the film does not allow it to escape. It has to come through the holes made in the plastic for the plants and a "chimney effect" is created, resulting in localized concentrations of abundant CO2 for the actively growing leaves. 1 Like
