You are free to employ me as your farm manager. I graduated from University of Agriculture Abeokuta. Not only tomatoes include other plants plus animals. Permanent stay or contract is allowed

Is that what he asked?

This is a free forum... If you are that good, then show it.

Tomato farming is a good biz but very strenous and time consuming but once u pass the maturation stage u are good to go. you need to first get seeds if local, soak in water for upto 6hrs to break seed dormancy and then dry and add ash to protect and kill germs that could infect the seed

You have to sow seeds in nursery inside a nylon, u can use pure water satchet it is very very important to use nylon because when u transplant on the field u have to keep the soil intact with the root else u have abnormal seed drop only the nylon can ensure that. you transplant 3 to 4wks on properly prepared soil. you need to water well early in the morning or late in the evenings. neva water when the sun is high, it could cause burn.

Thanks a lot

This is the old method of planting tomatoes.

Yield from determine breeds are less than 5 tonnes per hectare.

I intend to adopt a better strategy albeit capital intensive.

Drip irrigation, soil-less medium, hydroponics etc.

If you have access to capital, then do it right.

Tomato doesn't like too much of water. So it is not advisable to plant during raining seasons. Raise seedling at nursery and start transplanting at the onset of harmattan. visit www.livestocking.com for information on any livestock animal.
