Every tomato seed is good.
Though hybrid seems to give more yield than open pollinated seed when properly taken care of.

In terms of resistance, the open pollinated is the best.
They have been acclimatised to the system.

They can withstand insect and pest invasion.

They have high diseases resistance than hybrid because of their adaptation.

jethro2:


Profitability is determined by the effort and management involve.

Currently into open field planting

Can you assist in setting up a tomato farm, am presently into a cash crop farming and thinking of what to do on a short term.

jethro2:



Ewedu is a good crop to plant during the dry season.
The price automatically double because it become so scarce due to no rainfall.

I have never taken the time to study the cost analysis for ewedu.

Please get in touch with rural farmers in your vicinity to see if they can be of help

Will do. Thanks

Yes i can set up a tomato farm for you.

But No. Tomato is not what you do on a short term basis.
It require having the knowledge, patience and persistence to see it through.

Those Northerners growing it were born into it so they have become expert over years.

And still at that they do meet their own challenges.

Wow!!! Wow!!! Wow!!!
That's all I can say.
This thread is just so resourceful that I had to spend nights reading even though I end up sleeping at work
At last I made it to the last page. God bless you dearly @Jethro.

I have similar passions with you, but you are one already living the dream "Raising a generation that will maximize the potentials in Nigerian agriculture"

Kudos.

I see you are not really bothered about making money rather than helping people. Hence, have you thought of starting a TV program or radio program in this regards?

Do you think you are ripe for that?

Anyways I believe its time we youths rise up and get the Nigerian economy to the Zenith it ought to be. And i can tell you, agriculture is the future, the major realistic driver in that regards.

BTW, there was a guy that you recommended for ppl to buy ugu seeds from. Kalaus or so. can you give is contact and link to his thread again?

Thanks.

Glad i could be a tool to bless someone.

Thanks for appreciating this.

With time, we will look at either a TV programme or a reality show of the practical farm training.

Kalusam is the name i recommended

Thanks for the contact.

The reality show you mentioned caught my attention

I like the way you think.

If multi-nationals could sponsor reality shows, and make ordinary people to become mega-stars (Even though these stars end up just depleting our moral and traditional values). I think bringing these same multi-nationals to sponsor reality shows that will encourage ready-to-do-the-hard-work youths (these kind of youths are more deserving of being made into stars and millionaires), and also boost the economy by improving our foreign exchange.

God help you.

God help us all.

Fresh animal poop will burn your plant.
It can be either prepared as manure tea or composted into dry pelleted stuff before use.

You can choose to participate for a month within the 3 months.

Its a systematic continuous training so participants can learn from the nursery managements to harvesting.

Its advisable to start at the beginning of the set. Some other colleagues can fill you in on our the crop develop

rhothymie:

thank you ma.
pls how i go abt the manure tea

Add manure to reach one third of a container. Fill it up with water.

Stir every other day for not less than a month.

Sieve and add at ratio 1:10 water.
Feed the plant
