The solution to Tuta is more of preventive.

Traps work best.

Don't allow them reproduce or their young will multiply the problem exponentially.

Intresting

Unfortunate.

A leaderless country.

Government of no direction.

Hmm...do we do research at all in nigeria? There should be a scientific solution

We do now have a scientific research institute for agriculture able to conduct biological tests on plants on animals specimens collected on farms nation wide. It only got running in the last years or so

razortruth:
Blame the GMO pedlars and their Nigerian corroborator s who happen to be very powerful and too rich, albeit from unwholesome and genetically modified foods that Nigerians consume which is the reason for upsurge in cancer cases. If you know the role Obama, Clinton and one billionaire from the north is playing in Ebola tomatoes in Nigeria, you will embark on thirty days of prayers and fasting to stop Clinton from becoming the next US president. Africa will continue to be Guinea pigs for experiment and systematic depopulation through GMO products. It's neo-colonialism. You may not understand this great secret. But just know that the scarcity of tomatoes in Nigeria and the Ebola tomatoes is man made.Sorry!

Do u mean almost every tomatoes in lagos to are genetically alter?

From a scientific point of view, this is false. GM products are safe. Expect a robust reply tomorrow.

Thanks for the video Lanre009, though I am not a farmer, I marvel at what our researchers and ministry of Agriculture and even the minister are up to. Throughout the period of Tomato drought, they acted as if the end was near and no solution was available. Apart from handing mobile phones to farmers, it will be assumed that such traps and other preventive methods will be made known to them during their periodic workshops with farmers. Even IITA had nothing to provide.

This is a shame, giant of Africa is notby mouth. These little things are what should set us ahead. The minister and our researchers have failed. The pestilence was a no brainer since another country already had a solution. The people making rat gum papers can produce the sticky papers. All that was left was make the pheromones available and massive enlightenment. The shameless, inactive minister and researchers dragged the whole country into a near famine due to their lack of foresight and laziness .

OK. After your "robust" reply, I will equally furnish you even more robust information

No. But watch out for those tomatoes that are extremely reddish both externally and internally. Those are the GMO tomatoes and they are dangerous to your health

Genetically modified foods are safe for humans as they have passed every test which is purely rigorous. What exactly are GM foods? It is the gene or a particular gene that has been modified or cut off to enhance either its nutritional content, disease resistance, drought/weather sturdiness, cross breeding, hybrid vigor(Heterosis) etc.

The world population is expanding and this accompanied with the adverse change in the climate which corresponds to less land; which has been eroded chemically with excessive fertilizers. The solution? Grow more with less land. How can it be done?

* Develop GM seeds and sell/give to farmers which will help them cultivate more on less land. An instance is Burkina-Faso which increased its cotton production. GM seeds did the magic.

* Enhance research into crops and find how they can grow even in the most torrid of conditions.

* Develop more nutritional value for our crops and food. An example is the carotene in cassava which adds the vitamin A into a formerly excessively polysaccharide meal, and a staple one at that.

There's absolutely wrong with GM foods. What Nigerians are displaying, unfortunately, is ignorance. Our agric sector cannot continue with its traditional mode of cultivation. This is why the likes of Brazil, India, China and without mentioning the US have exceeded us in adding value to agro-products and this is where we need the likes of Syngenta, Monsanto, Bayer CropScience, BASF, Bill Gates, IITA etc. Hopefully, I'll write an article in the dailies on why we need GMOs/GM foods.

If you say it's not safe, read this article about the world's intelligentsia affirming that GM foods are safe for consumption.

Here's a broader discussion about GM foods on Nairaland not long ago. https://www.nairaland.com/3012292/say-no-bill-gates-cassava/2

Genetics Engineering is so interesting and a blessing to man in my own opinion; however, I think Genetic Modification which is a by-product of Genetic Engineering in relation to Agriculture needs sincerity from the part of the producers and consumers. Monsanto isn't as evil as people portray it in my own opinion.

By the way, would you make profit if you harvest and replant again F1 hybrid seeds (scenario: you planted hybrid seeds, harvested fruits then you removed seeds from the fruits and planted them again) which have been accepted? I am aware that farmers can harvest only open pollinated seeds from their farms and plant them again. So, are the producers of hybrid seeds evil because farmers keep going to them to buy seeds? The fact is you keep returning to producers of hybrid seeds too just like the GM producers. Go ask Technisem/Premier Seed/Monsanto which set of seeds they promote more. Of course hybrid! And you can't harvest those seeds and plant them again. There are million reasons manufacturers tell you to buy hybrid and not open pollinated seeds. Manufacturers always tell farmers that hybrid seeds are cross-pollinated to give farmers better harvest. How? Can resist/tolerate diseases, give more yield, earlier harvest etc. Yet hybrid seeds are becoming super, hyper and crazily expensive daily.

The issue of GM products is so crazily argued. Yes, I agree with you that some of their products back-fired BUT it doesn't mean the producers are 100 percent evil.

I won't want to use food as an example of the benefits of GMO but I will use the same cassava used in the headline of this thread. Starch, one of the by-products of cassava is a raw material for many industries. Mind you it's not all types of starch human eat. So, if a cassava variety is modified to produce better quality starch, is it an evil project?

I want you to kindly give references or links (scientific ones and not just rants from agrieved, overwhelmed competitors) that cross pollination of GM plants affect neighboring plants badly? I am just interested to read such scientific papers as they can broaden my knowledge on the subject.

NOTE: Neither am I a supporter nor opposer of GM products. I am just an individual who is open to new technology and I scrutinize very well. Also, I believe so much in research and I don't just take rants from losing competitors/politicians who are already losers.

CLUE: Perhaps hybrid seeds producers who kicked the butt of open pollinated seeds find GM seeds producers too tough for them to handle; hence, they come out fully using politics and past errors of GM producers as their weapons.

QUESTION: If the developed countries want to wipe off Africa, why would they have GM foods in their grocery stores? #JustAsking

LASTLY, I am not saying GM food is the best. Nope! I am just saying we should take caution and not act stupidly like our great-grand-parents who didn't have access to information and just went by promoting propaganda from losers. Good research is a prerequisite to good criticism.

Sorry bro

I think you can use what is call bio-pesticide, it is said to effective in the control of the moth.
