The plants are about 25 plants. I dunno the type of NPK i even bought sef.. but i know i was supposed to buy 15-15-15 i guess.

when tomato z @flowering stage u need less of n,but more f p and most of k like 10-20-20 or somtin like dt

I did fumigate actually like 3 times. Especially when my cabbage was been attacked. It worked and the unseen insects eating my cabbage leaves stopped. The tomatoes wasn't affected in anyway, but still i fumigated all the same.

U said d tomato looks funny. i prefer preventive to curative fumigation, i.e every 2 weeks for spraying. bc just one grasshopper can transmit disease all over ur farm. what fertilizer did u use

snipesdam:
Well I think during the dry season it may have been affected due to extreme heat. However water of the plants was done every eve of 48hrs... The plants now just look funny with all hard work put inside it. Its just an eye sore posting the images here.

Even when i applied NPK later to it, dunno if all the water leaves were the ones that enjoyed the thing. Honestly am disappointed with this project. I will restart soon anyway.

hw many tomato plants do you have?the plants are looking funny?i guess you neva used fungicides/pesticides at all. what was the npk type u used?

[quote author=Benekruku post=54826508][/quote]u'r asking abt market around here for real?do you know the demand for auto frn rivers,abia,cross river,imo and the rest.do you consider the distance b/w uyo and states closer to it. do you knw we deal a lot with cameroonians and a lil econ agreement opens up a hugely untapped market. do you consider the standard of living to cost of living balance in lagos to uyo as it affects labour cost.
and mind u,this project z nt starting in the next 2-3 years frm now b4 u bring up the uncompleted port.
only those who exploit new potential markets can possibly see how far!

Hello! Innoson presently can rival the least auto brand in Nigeria as of date. His top rivals would be closer to the market which will always knock him off among contenders.

Top brands of everything always stay in or close to the market.

You talked about deep sea port, do you know how many years that will take?

I believe if he wants to have a chance to compete. He needs to come the market big time.

When he has to contend with foriegn car manufacturers around lagos and cheap smuggled vehicles from cotonou through porous land borders,he has to create his market. do you plant tomato in northern/south west nigeria where competition is high and price z low to sell and still bring to ss/se region or south east/south south where demand z high and less competition from other farmers

Benekruku:
You know nothing about business. That's why Dangote, Indimi, Adenuga, Dantata, Atiku, Alakija and the rest have been soaring high. They know where the market is and go for it, right where it is.

how many factory/industries does dangote have close to lagos?
does lagos or any neigbouring state have an alumunium smelter industry?
there z a huge market for auto in this region with comparative price advantage compare a highly competitive market in lagos and cotonou.

You're very right I think that the sooth weather in portharcourt is affecting it. Only one plant in all is producing. I have just given up on it.

don't give up on it! the tomato plant z stressed up.
lemme make some assumptions
1)the poultry manure boosted the nitrogen levels in the soil at the wrong time.flowers wud fall off as a result and the plant would look healthier
2) i saw some signs of curly leaves.that may due to d fact dt u hv not fumigated the farm for disease nd pest
3)maybe the tomato species u got are nt for d tropical regions
it may also be due to low potassium/phosphorus levels, irregular watering, extreme heat. Take it as a learning experience nd neva give up

I'm sorry to bug you sir, but can you please explain how we are to apply and can that document be made in pdf format for those that use java phones. And how many people are you envisaging as your target trainees. WILL LAND BE AVAILABLE AT SUBSIDIZED RATE FOR TRAINEES TO WORK PRACTICALLY ON A EARN AND LEARN BASIS?
