abouzaid:
what about fungicide? how often did you spray fungicide and insecticide?

You should try and get a comprehensive guide. Which variety are you planting?

OluchiDelly:
It's ok. The color appears stretched and blurred cos i over cropped the original pic from almost 1mb to below 250kb B4 it can be uploaded.

Ok

I really noticed the bias though I wont blame him as the preferred brands are doing well compared to our EWS that hype up products without giving out detailed explanation of the cultivar characteristics leaving you to your fate! To me, cobra 26 is better than Padma and platinum based on my experience here.
I read about the xaman, but it's not worth the stress for now based on the cultivars available to me, and I believe every cultivar has its unique plant Care and nutrition demands which we should learn and improve upon to get excellent results even from the cheaper and commonly available hybrids.

Not really biase but facts. Ansal had 190g weights, Kilele about 120g while Padma was 85g. If these go to the market, more people will patronise the large type fruits and definitely command more price.

In Nigeria, there are still good varieties available from the kilele f1 to the Gamhar Rz f1 and Rambo f1 because these ones guarantee above 100g if your management is good. It seems the cobra 26 F1 is not red enough!

OluchiDelly:
What's the major feature of the xaman F1 that makes it not to require staking?

Short height habit

ideepaul:
thanks for the link, he didn't comprehensively cover the whole matter, but I learnt a thing or two anyways

He didn't come out straight but you will notice Ansal F1 from seminis and Kilele f1 from Syngentha is preferred by him due to their disease resistance and big sized fruits.
East west has a new product called Diva F1. It may be better than the padmas and platinums in size and look (red colour). Any tomato below 100g at this age is a no-no for the current competition. What's the average yield for these padmas?
Cos I know a Rambo F1 farmer who gets 30 tonnes/acre in a group consistently.
Seminis have a new breed called the Xaman F1 but is not available here. It caught my eye because it does not need staking.

Eluagwu:
Does potassium nitrate make cucumber fruit taste better and look better?

It makes all fruits better, bigger and sweeter. My citrus/tomato and even pepper have not been sweeter than now after applying mop 0:0:60.

IamAsiri:
How do you mean sir? Do you mean that it doesn't last long or that it doesn't have many legit seeds? (Some of the unpeeled melon either have lots of shafts and undeveloped seeds or rotten ones)

It's watery and has less value.

Comparing 9 tomato varieties including Kilele F1, Ansal F1, Padma F1, Nouvelle F1, Safa f1, Rafano F1, Rambo F1, Terminator F1.
The smallest size was Padma f1! but many fruits.

dondo83:
I will like to store egusi this season , which one will you advise me to store ? Lafia or niger? Peeled or unpeeled and what are the prices

That Niger is poor joo.

Farmerakinloye6:
Last year it was cracking which I don't experience this year like that probably because there is no rain. This year Nah this! Abeg my people waiting dey cause dis one? Nah insect,virus or calcium deficiency? Please my people I need answer so I can improve by next year!

the second pics is caused by sunburn while the first is caused by thrips. Use Renova 5gm per knapsack to prevent it next time.

numen:

osram:
airalanders I need help ooo


I applied for a new passport since last year August2020 and was called for capturing at the immigration headquarters Abuja in March 2021 till now I have not received my passport....they kept on saying no booklet and as I speak have lost out on an opportunity to go to Poland....please help out nairalanders am depressed already

In some states, passports are available same day you apply.

OluchiDelly:
A beg do. Cobra too is another excellent cultivar. Seems both have similar disease resistance catalogue.
I learnt the Rambo F1 is a Kenyan product, when will our own research institutes wake up? The only thing our own Premier Seed does is to be rebranding and repackaging UC, Roma, marketers and marketmore up and down.

I thought premier seeds only do maize seeds?
The Rambo F1 is one to watch as it's has all the checked points; bw resistance, large size tomato above 150g , and should be classed in the category of the Sakata Martyna F1.
East west, Technisem and co are still behind in tomato due to its small size.

Jessyj616:
How do I administer these?

Depends on your stock number and age

noeloge82:
This pics did not allow me to see how active the birds are, but if they are active then administer lasota tomorrow morning followed by clean water , the next day place them on NCO and center dicox and Vira mix for 5 days , let me know how it goes

Lasota is very risky at that stage of infection. It looks like the birds are infected with Newcastle, Infectious Bursal with cocodiosis.
He can try liquid anticocci like diclacox with Septrim, Vitamix and a very good multivitamin.

What I meant was KuilKuil, I thought Groundnut cake was the English name.

Anyway what's the wholesale prise and quantity of the one you said you know?

Kulikuli and Groundnut cake wholesaler from Lugbe
Call 08055457399

juri:
@shariff84, what's the prise for one bag of kulikuli ( groundnut cake).

Also are there vehicles in the area one can hire to convey purchased items and how much will it cost to hire a car to convey items from your Maraba office to Karshi, Abuja. Thank You as always.

Is Kulikuli really groundnut cake? I have someone who sells both in wholesale in Abuja

toluxa1:
Guys, I will like to know if some of the veterans here and those who have had running systems with Lithium battery up for a while, have actually done cost analysis of your system in relation to cost of grid? Like Ikejaelectricity tarrif I believe is about N30 per KWh or there about. Is it possible to both generate and store power from solar at such low rate? Or is the advantage only in the constant electricity derived? I did some rough calculations for an off-grid system and it appears even in 10 Years I might not break even compared to paying PHCN.

It depends on the user.
Public power will always trump solar if it's stable. Someone running a 20kv ice block machine will not think of a solar setup.
Many parts of Nigeria including Lokoja, Suleja, Kaduna, etc have a direct line from the national grid where power is almost 24/7. Those people living in these areas don't install solar. The aedc bill is about N46 kWh and 64 kWh for commercial users.

100kg bags Lokoja market
Maize 24,000
Guinea corn 26,000
Millet 26,000
Soyabeans 34,000
Beans 52,500
Bambara nut/Okpa 55,000

Tomato Hausa basket local variety was 32,000
Pepper bag was 15,000

All seeds have been sent to identified users. You will likely get your order after 1 week.
