Thank you

Rahsholah:
only if you can source well decomposed poultry manure and apply, also try and get agrovert phosphorus and spray 100g per knapsack twice a week, and lastly potassium nitrate at 150g per knapsack every five days for 2weeks at first then 300g per knapsack weekly.

What fungicide will you recommend?

Eunice103:
What fungicide do you spray and how often?

A look at the background shows that the crop population is too dense for this season. Proper aggressive pruning and right agrochemical spray may reduce the spread but yield may not be as expected.

No, I did not use manure, they are flowering already with little fruit.

Is there a solution to it?

Rahsholah:
Did you use manure before planting!?.. And hope they are not under shade?

Is possible but kinda hard for cobra.

Rahsholah:
Average of 50crates per 1k stand. It's actually not how far but how well!. It's very much realistic under average management sef!. It amount to about 1-1.5kg per stand

Congratulations boss

What to do when tomato stem is lean? Please I need help on this, they are fruiting but with lean stem.

Farmerakinloye6:
Sold 45,43,42 and 40k this morning.

Please everyone, I am in need of workers urgently

How many do you think is good from 10k stands of cobra f1?

Rahsholah:
that's actually not good sir

The most preferred actually but I don't have too.

Let me rephrase the question

Please can I mix white calcium (calcium nitrate) with fungicide (flash one or blue snow) and spray at once? Or is a must I spray them separately?

Farmerakinloye6:
had being I have fertigator, I will have prefer fertigation.

Do you mix your calcium nitrate (white calcium) with your fungicide and insecticide to spray or you spray it separately?

I am trying to know if I can spray it together to save time

Farmerakinloye6:
Sold grade1 cobra 53k this morning.. some sell higher than that.

300 crate from 10k stands

Rahsholah:
what is the highest you've recorded with cobra before?.

But do you think 2k cobra should do 100 crate easily?

Farmerakinloye6:
I have not achieve it with cobra but I believe it is possible.

Cobra can't do this

Farmerakinloye6:
platinum.

I hope it maintained the momentum till September

Gaxuvir:
Seems God is rewarding our efforts this season .
For the 1st time, Tomato climbed up to 85k per crate last week in mile 12. It dropped a bit this week.
Markets seem unpredictable now because this time last year, it sold @20k average.

Please what could cause this in tomato?

Farmerakinloye6:
51 days today....no rain.... Grade1 today is 45k

Thank you for the suggestion, i will try it out with my next nursery

Mrdellychy:
Hardening off could have helped. Allow your seedlings feel the heat of sunlight days/weeks b4 transplanting. Read more about Hardening off.

Even with my irrigation, I have lost 60% of my farm.

Farmerakinloye6:
I have being using 6lit everyday.

No rain for straight 7 days here, how are you coping with new tomato transplant?

Thank you boss

Farmerakinloye6:
yield will be reduced too!

Using your experience my boss, apart from the stress of watering manually whenever there isn't rain for 4-6 days, what other effects should be expected?

Farmerakinloye6:
on a safe side in south west, may is okay. Personally! I will never try it at any time.

I am planting it in Akure

Thank you for your reply.

Farmerakinloye6:

Please when can we start rain fed tomato nursery for this year

Farmerakinloye6:
I did it on 17 and 18th... Total number is 18k seeds.

May God help me

This is my target for my next 2 planting, March and April, I hope I get enough land.

Total of 120k stand for the whole year circle.

Farmerakinloye6:
you have not seen 30k at once? I planted 19k stand at once last year.

Thank you

Alsenora:
Less than 400 crates or more. The variables(less and more) depend on care o.

Plus/minus, how many crate of tomato should I get from 10,000 stand that is well taken care of.

I understand now

I will be transplanting my nursery on Saturday and I will do another nursery by end of this month.

Farmerakinloye6:
I did it 11 and 12th last year. Am looking at the weather because my first production will be Big. Any day it rain heavily here in this month, I will do nursery the following day.

You already did nursery this time last year, what changed?

Farmerakinloye6:
everything is ready, am expecting one rain to fall this month before I will do tomato nursery, and two rain to fall to start cucumber nursery. Farmtech pls sir! do something with this orwasen guy spamming post.

I better follow your steps

Thank you for the head up

Farmerakinloye6:
am looking at palm plantation and Cocoa for retirement.

Weldon ser, is there any other crop that is profitable as tomato farming?

Farmerakinloye6:
Farmer in the house..how preparation in your side? More bountiful harvest this year by special Grace of God. I will get remaining part of my input tomorrow, enough manure is already in farm. I have ten boys this year because am diversifying into other crop. God will Bless us with favourable weather and price 😃!

2 days ago, my 13 workers all decided to leave at once, I couldn't believe it.

They don't want to work during Ramadan but want to get fed and paid

After much talk I was able to retain 8 out of the 13 workers.

The main challenges in tomato farming are workers and not enough availability of land

I have done 20k seed nursery which isn't close to 35k seed nursery I planned for but I had to reduce it cos of not enough availability of land.

I hope we see above 60k/Crete this year 😂

Will tomato be profitable this year?

Farmerakinloye6:
New tomato came out yesterday. Sold grade1 cobra this morning 26k flat.

wow, I planted my first tomato this month, preparing it for Christmas/new year markets
