Are the neem oil and supergro made up to two litres with water? Or is it just the supergro/neem oil that you spray on the plants

jidestroud:
Present state of my tomatoes as at today 11/04/2019.

I will nursing 400 more cobra f1 seedlings before heading out.

Hi jide, I like us to talk. To save me months of conducting an experiment you've already carried out, I like to find out a think or two so we can consolidate ideas. Can we talk on whatsapp? Or can I call you?

My tomato leaves are folding up.. I don't know what can cause it

jidestroud:

Mind uploading a picture? Meanwhile, there's little or nothing to worry about when your tomatoes leaves or folding up. I do experience it once in a while especially when I forget to water the plants over a period of time. Then I noticed it all boils down to water moisture issues. Although some varieties are notorious for curling up . Nevertheless, feed your tomatoes very well and observe all the necessary guides in growing them. Above all, know your variety, it gives possible outcomes to a certain degree.

Peace.

jidestroud:

This ain't leaf roll if what I am seeing is actually what I am seeing Nevertheless, it still looks like a withered plant due to lack of water or soil root issues!!! Did you apply fertilizer lately? or any applications of any thing lately?

vosquare:

Water is not the issue cause I use drip irrigation method and I just buried npk like 4 days ago

FMCASH:
might be the NPK if closer to the plant. If your irrigating tank its for you plant only, fertigation is your best bet.

I don't use tank for the drip irrigation... It's straight from the bole hole direct to the pipe

If it's npk, I guess the thing will be generally and not one plant in a bed

Yampotatocarrot:


Please, the Agritropic office, is it the one before Ojo barrack?.. Their phone number will be appreciated, please. And how many seeds are in the 5g murano... Any idea?

Yampotatocarrot:


Considering how many crops you planting, will you still call it a garden?

jidestroud:


Agric bus-stop precisely.
0803 398 4354 that's number of the contact person.

Yampotatocarrot:


Thanks for the quick reply. I'll visit the place to get the murano to mix with the Cu99 already growing in the farm.

Please, estimate number of seeds in the 5g, any idea?

FMCASH:
remove the root and snap for better diagnosis. If its NPK you will see the end stem thin(burnt)

jidestroud:

Like he rightly pointed out, most likely the Fertilizer applied, and yes, it doesn't have to cut across for all. Could just be that particular one. Moreover, when did it occur? Was it before the application or after? Nevertheless, it's nothing serious I insist. If it's just a plant like you right said, why not uproot and discard. But while at that, let's have look at the roots for further evidence (just a picture of the root structure will do).

Happy Sunday

vosquare:
Here are the pictures

jidestroud:

Evening, thanks for the feedback. Going through the pictures and the former, your tomatoes case like I said earlier is physiological. There's a disconnect somewhere. You initially said one plant in a bed, but you also claim its been occurring before the NPK application. Do you know even too much water and nitrogen application causes leaf roll?, so likewise root damage.
From your picture, I could also see lots of root initials or bumbs on your plants. This speaks volume about the plant. Try not over watering the plant, what fertilizer are you applying? What variety did you plant by the way?

Good news by the way, it surely ain't a viral disease. (TYLCV)

Olaleyeabdullah:
pls bro...is it advisable to plant tomato in swampy area

jidestroud:

Tomatoes and swamps areas is a big NO!!!. In the real sense, tomatoes don't even need much water at all.
