Hello Jethro good work there . I followed this thread and am convinced that you r a practical farmer .I would have loved to attend the training at Ago Amodu but I couldn't make it. I want to ask what is the best tomato hybrid seed to plant and where or how can I get it. Waiting to heat from u thanks

There are lots involve in tomato farming than seeds.
The best seed with poor management gives you zero returns.
To be successful, one needs to combine all the factors involve in the production such as
Seeds
Water management
Soil management
pest and disease control
etc

Babalagzy:
Ok, that's cool.
Hope it doesnt get too hot in the nethouse though cos thats the main problem. I am using shade nets over the greenhouses and that has reduced the heat but the plants still get the needed sunlight.
The effect of heat etc is more noticeable when you plant semi-determinate seeds

The net house is performing wonderfully. And my team is constructing another one again.
I choose not to post pictures until we successfully harvest.
We will be shifting to net house all the way. The open field challenge is too much.

UniqueMB:
Alright thanks ma, I will send you a mail.

You are highly welcome

Babalagzy:
@jethro2 Is the top of the nethouse covered with net or plastic sheet?

The top is covered with polyethylene nylon and the sides with net

ishayaauta:

groovie:
Hi jethro, am really interested in this training. Is it possible to get this online or by email because i am constrained by distance.

Sorry. We don't have online materials. Its purely on farm practical training

Pamelayoung:
Please if a person wishes to go into the vegetable farming, do you have provision to manage the farm for the person?

No we don't manage farm. We only train prospective farmers and farm managera

ishayaauta:

Ehen ma, please do you have an idea on where I can get in-determinant tomatoes seed? I can't find it in the north, thanks ma. please keep on your good work, you've helped many 4 dat I still see u as a mentor thou we have never met. but I've consumed most of your write ups tnx a million my success story can never be completed without mentioning you.

Is it free,?

Did you read the post at all?

Fhemmmy:
Thanks you so much, will be in touch

OK sir

Babalagzy:
Just a footnote regarding Dizengoff kits:
They will NOT give you 5 tonnes or close. (VERIFIED)
We should discuss at some point the use of Greenhouses in Nigeria.
Which are better for this region? Nethouses or greenhouses??
Unfortunately, some of us have to learn the hard way because there's either no research or access to research information regarding these issues.

Wow. Thanks for confirming this.


Net house is better.
My team has been working on some net house.
We have planted some tomatoes and waiting to get the result.

So far, its been fantastic. The tomatoes are doing fine.
Will update later

Its organic all the way.

Fhemmmy:
Madam at the top . . . .Longest time.
How much to cultivate one acre of land with tomotoes?
How long to be ready?
And how many basket would i realize from one acre?
How much per basket in the market and what is the ease of sales?

Good afternoon sir

I will reserve the first question for the last.

How long to be ready?

Tomato matures between 3-4months.

How many basket per an acre.

An acre if properly and well manage should give between 100 - 200 Hausa basket.

Hausa basket is between 50-70kg.

How much per basket in the market.

currently a basket is N20,000 - N30,000. depending on your location.

Peak tomato period is April - July.
Glut tomato period is Jan - March
moderate price other months.

Cost of an acre.

Tomato have series of challenges that makes the cost to vary.

1. Water source:

Rain water will be cheaper but comes along with diseases and infection.

Rain wash away the tomatoes.
Too much rain change the leave colour
Too little rain shrinks the leave
Acid rain brings septora whatever and others

Irrigation is expensive.
Borehole, drip sets, fuel for generator, maintenance etc.

2. Pest and diseases.
Each area comes with its peculiar one.
The pest are now resistance to the treatment eg Tuta Absoluta currently destroying tomatoes.

Alternatively
Build a screen/net house.
With local materials
Carpenters mess you up.
Can constru


or buy imported green house
Dizengolf sells 15m by 8m green house N1,500,000.

It takes 500 plants.
expected yield is 5 tonnes.
Not verified yet



These are some of the reason in variability in cost of production.

And lots more.
Seeds
Labour cost
Transportation
