Edibleskit:
I have a question. Pls how can i use raise bed for nursery.

bosagro23:
Well done boss. Whats your fertilizer regime like? Which seed from east west did you use. Did you fertigate? Whats your expected yield? Your own ni o. Not the one on the seed. . Well done once again sir.

Psalmy2cute:

what variety of tomatoes did you plant?

jidestroud:
@Farmerakinloye6

Beautiful job you are doing there sir.

Do you mind sharing the tomato variety used so I can interpolate with the picture posted and your staking choice.

God bless.

Farmerakinloye6:
platlium 701 f1.some are 90cm interval why some are 120cm.

jidestroud:


Oh Platinum F1. Good one; High resistant variety to damping off disease.

Hr: ToMV, Vd
Ir: BW, TYLCV
Maturity: 60 - 70 days

Type: Roma small determinate

Fruit weight: 70 - 80 grams

I'm really interested in your staking methods. From the picture uploaded, are you sure those trellis would hold? (Well, the platinum fruits ain't that big though so I guess your method might just pull through).

I have other suggestions you could employ by the way.

Farmerakinloye6:
you have said it all.pls go ahead,I will be happy to learn more. Like you hint.. the talless is getting out of hand. Have given some 4 line (rope) why some are requesting for 5 now. The thing is I have use 1 sack of rope finished..I just said to the tomato this morning "if you like request for 10 line, I don't have any money again." Bro TOMATO DEY CHOP MONEY LIKE!

jidestroud:



I was going to just spill it immediately I saw it but this is nairaland agro section ooo (I thread carefully now ). Moreover, I did face a similar challenge with my platinum F1 & Rodeo pilots where some plants stand grew so tall; (most over 5 feet), I could have sworn that it is Semi-determinate . We had to employ both horizontal and vertical staking.

Farmerakinloye6:
after you do the raise bed, use piece Baboo to make line,put your seed one one, cover it with light sand,then cover it with mosquito net.if not because of coro madness I will have suggest you use cocopeat and nursery tray.

my2chains:


ok how much can cover for a plot?

bosagro23:
Why dont you apply more potassium based fertilizers during their fruiting. You can get more than 3kg per plant.

Farmerakinloye6:
the least they can sell is one 1 bundle@ 60k which can cover 3 plot.

my2chains:


please can you send me their phone number to 07041246325

Farmerakinloye6:
pls give me example that is on market.

bosagro23:
kno3, mop, sop,.......

Farmerakinloye6:
Like Psalmy2cute will say "coro madness" smile.. coro is truly mad! I ask around price of tomato,and am told it range between 15k to 18k at the moment, instantly my stomach laugh. Even if I sell at 10k per basket I will share testimony. Two weeks more I will be eating the fruit of my labour ! I pray the price do not rise than that.

bosagro23:
:Dlol. It will still rise. Still going to 25-30k. Mark my words

Farmerakinloye6:
I don't pray so . Pls what there price ( fertilizer)

bosagro23:
mop is 18k for 50kg i think. Kn03 is 23k. The price flunctuates especially now

Farmerakinloye6:
appreciate bro,thanks.
