The suppergrow is working perfectly.

Sure, I know it's usually after 14days. They are doing well now.

I have started applying npk .

Rain hasn't been failing for the past 8 days now. I keep wetting morning and night except this evening I am chatting.

I think what u call "working" is as a result of good soil or good and vigorous plant variety not as a result of the application of super grow. Super grow has none of the macro and micro nutrient/elements and so it is NOT a fertilizer. You cannot rely on it to give u good fruit or even make the leaves green, it is basically to minimize translocation in plants by helping them conserve water, and this is rainy season translocation is not a problem.

This "GRADE 1", "GRADE 2" ...how do u class them, is it by weight, colour or time of harvest??

Farmerakinloye6:

@Farmerakinloye6,
I have been an ardent follower of your thread for a while. Please I need information on GMO seeds that are available in Nigeria, and your experience if you have ever planted them. Thanks.

You want to eat forbidden fruit?

You are doing mixed cropping with tomatoes?
Wow that is interesting sha...
Looks like a viral infection to me, and thrips, whiteflies and grasshoppers could be helping spread it

Thank u. I have started spraying Aceteforce for the flies because that was what i suspected... Concerning mixed cropping, I settled for that because I i saw that the workers that cultivated the ridges spaced too wide and I also spaced the maize, can they harm the tomatoes like that?

Farmerakinloye6:
you have not apply any foliar fertilizer too? If yes, then it is cause by overdose insecticide or fungicide.

Wow...Yes, i have applied foliar plus cocoa, i thoght 120ml per 15L knapsack won't be much as that is the recommended dose from the manufacturer...

Tituxy:
Let me try,
The first picture, looks much like fertilizer burn...

The second might be effect of harsh weather..

For the 1st one I have not even applied fertilizer, they were transplanted last 2 mondays; 2nd one it's rainy season naa, how is the weather harsh? i dont think so

Good day farmers in the house. Please how do I deal with this kind of infection on my tomatoes: Pix 1. at the edges of the leaves, they appear to be burnt and a bit folded downwards, is that a fungal disease? Pix 2. they fold upwards and become stiff, not growing well (sort of stunted)
