vivaAfrica:
A friend of mine in overseas wants this specie of yellow pepper from Nsukka, but he is asking for the name and specie. It is commonly called 'Ose Nsukka' here in Nigeria because of where it is mostly cultivated in the country. Nairalanders please help me with the name and specie . I also want to know if this specie is same with Cameroon pepper.

gthorpe123:
Insect Manure At N5,000 Per Ton. Never Use Poultry Litter Or Dung Again

Good day,

We have Black soldier fly (BSF) larvae frass, aka manure, called NatSoil available for sale. It’s an excellent organic fertilizer with chitin that deters pest and thus acts as a natural pesticide. It has no odor and contains all the vital nutrients for plants (see attached analysis for dried variant).

Please contact me on WhatsApp 08176499981 or on sales@magprotein.ng . Our factory is based in Epe.

Price is N5 per kg. Minimum order 2tons. Pick up from Epe.

Description and use.

Our product NatSoil is a 100% organic fertilizer and soil amendment that acts primarily as a rich soil conditioner and pesticide. It is derived locally from the digestate of the black soldier fly larvae. It is rich in essential nutrients such as;
• Nitrogen: 31.5g/Kg
• Phosphorus: 7.9g/Kg
• Potassium: 3.41 g/Kg

Made from insect exoskeletons and excrement, NatSoil is full of beneficial microbial life and chitin – the substance that sets NatSoil apart from other fertilizers. Chitin stimulates the plant's defence response leading to increased resistance to pests and disease, replenished microbe populations and boosted yields at harvest.
NatSoil also has “chitosan”, when applied foliarly, will protect plants from powdery mildew, and botrytis and other fungal disease. In summary, NatSoil is a natural fertilizer and has the following benefits for plants and crops:
o Promotes early plant growth and seed inoculant
o Beneficial microbes for plant growth and production
o Improved growth compared to competing products
o Low C/N ratio that promotes rapid mineralization and faster nutrient release
o 1 to 2% addition rate into soils and potting mixes
o Water soluble and can be used in hydroponics and fertigation
o Contains chitin and chitosan
o No odour
o Not a pesticide or fungicide, will not bring new insects into your garden or farm o Improves soil organic matter, soil condition and crop yields
Utilization
NatSoil can be used in the following applications;
Commercial Use - Farms, Lawns: Broadcast 5 tonnes per hectare. Incorporate into soil if possible.
Greenhouses: Incorporate 7.5 kg per cubic metre (12.5 lbs/cubic yard) of container medium.
Home Use - Urban Gardens, Established Plants, Lawns: Incorporate 2.5 kg per 10 square metres (5 lbs/100 sq ft) into soil prior to planting. Apply 2.5 kg to soil surface after seedlings have emerged.

Yes you can plant provided you have a ready market for the pepper.

okoroemeka:
my brother,there somethings you don't even wish to happen to your enemy,whitefly and leaf miner in cucumber and red spider mites iand fruit borers in garden egg,I laugh when I read some people talking about organic insecticide,I still wonder how it can be used on let's say 1acre of cucumbers infected with whiteflies,it's obvious the farmer will die from inhaling the baking soda,garlic, pepper and neem oil mixture before the insests.

I agree practical is better than theory but practical might not be feasible for some of us who are interested in tomatoe production.

Does your book cover the greenhouse construction and details of where you got the materials in Nigeria?

How then do you intend to succeed with growing tomatoes without practical experience?


No my book does not cover Green house construction

We grow Open field tomatoes for standard market

Burchester:
I’m a tomato farmer where can I sell my tomatoes ??

Visit the nearest market to you

udi2111:
Kindly post pictures of your farm and harvest?

Can the tomato from your farm be sold at the standard market( grocery stores and malls). ?

You can visit the farm at Farmvilla Resource Centre. Ago Amodu, Saki East LGA of Oyo State.

udi2111:
After purchasing this book and reading through, will I be able to start my own tomato farm under standard agricultural practices?

Theory is quite different from practical. Yes the book is detail but you need some practical experience

udi2111:
With this your eBook on how to cultivate tomatoes, one does not need the physical training again right?

Practical aspect is quite different from book explanation
Something's are better seen in practise

engrfcuksmtin:
I witnessed a court session late 2018 in which a farmer was sentenced to 2 years imprisonment due to injury he inflicted on a Fulani man that was alledged had been grazing animals on the farmers' cassava and yam farm. The judge's hand were tied by the law.
Since January 2019, I have been experiencing herdsmen wahala in one of the farms I consult for. They started with cassava, moved to oil palm and then pineapple, multi-million naira investment!. All efforts to apprehend them failed, we visited their settlement but they requested for evidence (I must catch the culprit in the act) before they can act.
As providence would have it, I held a meeting today with the staff of the farm on security lapses and requested a tour around the farm during which we met three herdsmen grazing in our oil palm farm. We made a video of them and took photographs.
Since we out numbered them, they were over powered and taking to NSCDC. They gave fake identity, address and claimed that they were just going on the main road and we bundled them in the car. Thank God we made videos, everything would have turned on us. We laid appropriate claims and settled out of court.
In my interaction with the law enforcement personnel, existing laws favours herdsmen than farmers, smallholder farmers are suffering in silence from menace of unruly herdsmen.
Nigerians need to stand and cry out for the poor smallholder farmers who have lost thier voice and hope of being saved from herdsmen invasion. Unruly Fulani herdsmen are threat to economic and Agricultural development. They constitute a major obstacle to food sufficiency in Nigeria.

Would have love to put this on my Facebook timeline. But what name do I put there as the writer?

None will take this serious with your monicker

Hello house,
I am interested in bringing tomatoes and pepper from the north and sell in Lagos. I plan filling a trailer per trip. I really want those that are into the business to come in and share their experiences. This should include all form of costs and challenges faced etc. I really want to be mentored and learn the trade.
I await the gurus in the house to come help out..
Regards

I will suggest you do your market survey from market and from the source of purchasing the tomatoes.

* Price fluctuate with time
* Transport could dissapoint
* Market might be saturated
* Agents are there to consider

Yes. I have done the business before
No. I don't have the time to spare for the questions.

Currently my team produce vegetables and take to market directly. We don't sell to agent or Middle men

Take time to understand the business

starlightcash:
Yes sir, I want to start up my own farm for commercial . I want to start with 500 broiler and 500 layers, in Umuahai Abia State . Is starting up with a day old chicken best or what do you advise ? How many plots of land do you think will be suitable for 1000 birds?. I want to acquire my own load , and I am planing on digging a borehole on it . From your experience , how much do you think I should set aside for 1000 birds ?.

I will suggest you find time to go understudy a practising farmer for few months.

You can't do agriculture with online information. It's quite different from reality

New set of peppers coming up

Once the peppers have enough nutrients to feed on, prunning might have little or no effect on the fruits size.

ogbongenet:
I don't get it madam, maybe you explain better

The lower and the newest branches or nodes are the ones removed not the top node.

Peppers

ogbongenet:
This is one of the secret of farming pepper, when you prune, you automatically increase the yield by 20-30 percent. Let's go there...

I think peppers are pruned at the base and not at the top
