Its manual. There is no selective herbicide for tomato yet.
However, you can use mulching film

I was at ds jubaili Agrotech seminar and we were told to use Star Force for post emergence herbicide. What insecticide do u use? What is your take on use of Agro chemicals does it have any harmful effect on d consumer?

@ Jethro hw do u weed is it manual or chemical?

jethro2:
Yes. We do have. Rain has been a great issue but we still have some.
Thank you for your concern

rain is not falling hope we dont have drought.

Soloxam:
except that.

he has a good materia bt he is a novice in farming. The same thing happened to me when i bought d sugar baby bt mine was nt dt deep as this. Small seed are sown by broadcasting. @ solomax i cant get d technisem tomato seed in Ogbomoso.

MODS PLS CAN U CLOSE THIS THREAD,TO PREVENT PEOPLE THAT MIGHT WANT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF A GOOD SOIL TO SOW EVIL SEEDS.

Why nt continue wt it.

Ogbomoso is a good place for farming bt we have few bad eggs. Hw can u b paying 5k for security, then wt profit will u make. As Jetro said, farmin just like any biz takes time to master and will only b lucrative in d long run wt strict discipline. Lets take maize for example, hw many bags of dry maize can u get frm an acre? Nairaland is full of computer farmers misleading ppl like some on fish farm claiming millions.

HBD Bro Solomon Alamu, may God grant your heart desires in his will.

alienvirus:
Hmm. Naturally, Indians are very terrible in their character. Work for them at your own disappointment.

indians are too emotional I have worked wt them even tru their bollywood films u would knw. That means he doesnt value your colleague. He could have corrected him. Some ppl see dogs as just like any animal u can eat while some see it as a pet.

excelsiorfarm:

exactly we need a union that will specialized on d buying and selling Cos' this extortion from d baba elejas and Iya elejas is much so much frustrated to the extent of giving up in fish farming Cos' it's not easy been laboured for 5 months plus still got loss from it. in fact if I remember all d loss of d profit I usually weep Cos' it pains me hard so painful to me when people cheat me in a way that av been well informed than ever before.

Sorry for your loss, bt robonski said fish farming is a game wc means there is so many uncertainty wt many permutatns. Even if u form a union d middle men will always get frm new bies springing up everyday. You need to learn d game fast because money is involved. Get d hidden truth ASAP!

IMO anything you do aside spilling blood or armed robbery is hustle mehn. After all we know of American n Colimbian drug lords who even after they were caught are still highly revered by their people. I'm proud to be ibo notwithstanding what the man has done. He was only hustling for his daily bread. Also note that many countries including USA and China make money from running drugs and even guns too. Stay here and be bashing the man, after 6 yrs he'll be out there flexing his hard earned bucks. Or do u think drugs is easy business? Igbo kwenu joor!

I used to accuse we yorubas as not been business savvy like Igbos bt I now knw beta must of them front wt business bt underneath is crime. Bt d most worrisom is dt Igbos neva see anything wrong always defending crime as hustling.

Assuming the arrangement btw Accord and LP worked, accord could be ahead by now never underestimate Ladoja, he remains a formidable force in oyo state.

Luckygurl:
lol!! As usual he has little or no control over his wife.

He remains my man though....

so a man who has no control over his wife is your man.

please house why is large white breed very selective,i just got one and due to transportation stress, i gave ironiii ,multivamin,and LA,i observed slugglish attiutude ,i decided to mingle with other breed ,come see serious fight i need to seperate them and left some before getting home the animal is very week,i need to call vet for proper medical treatment but d animal dont eat cassava peel but they rush fresh bread,i put cabbage not acceptable,i want to know best feed for this breed

pigs are social animals dt will resist an intruder. And when u take an animal frm its abode it will take days if nt weeks to acclimatise to its nw environment. You cant expect a pig dt has been feed all tru its life concentrates and expect it to b happy wt cassava peelings wc contains little nutrients. Wt age is d large white and what composition of feed are u giving? because for me large white has good appetite.

With the Federal government policy on diversifying the economy, and looking at agriculture as one of the viable alternatives. Due to curiousity, I quickly browsed for websites that can give loans. But most of the sites were outdated with no recent info( except for bank of Industry). I beemed my radar by visiting the bank of agric OYO town today. But what I saw there, was amusing. The place reminds me of the analog banking of d 90's, most recording were done manualy, with elderly empoyees who lacks the drive and zeal of a 21st century banking. If this should continue I wonder how we can drive the agric sector without an organised credit scheme.

emmysoftyou:
cos we want to dominate igbo movies as a boss after dominating english films as a boss,
Then we will come to yoruba films and also dominate it as a boss too..
Emeka ike,
Mike ezuronye,
And ngozi nwosu have acted yoruba movies before...

So One good thing about the fear of my pple is that we love dominating and conquering in sphere that has to do with competitions...,

just see what will happened after igbo station is launch and dominated by ndigbos,and if no space,we will
shift to yorubahood to kannyhood called hausa station cos we speak all languages in nigeria.
Hence our advantage as businessmen...

you are on point. Igbo are good at mastering other ppls language bt have hardly seen other tribes being good at Igbo lang

Eefosa1:
PLEASE HOUSE WHAT CAN I GIVE TO IMPROVE MY LARGE WHITE BREED AS HE IS VERY SELECTIVE AND LOSING WEIGHT BADLY

excelsiorfarm:
you nova invite me to your farm?

Bro it still emerging dts why its coded. Bt do u still come around?

dejia:
Bro,

Ask, where you bought it, what they feed it before you got it.

You cant feed broilers .. local chicken feed, ( Guinea corn) and expect it to eat it o!. Ajebutter wont drink Garri as dinner.

funny bro! Bt just dt d hunger never hammar am, just joking. Just like man some pigs are selective dts why i prefer to breed on my farm. On issue of young gilt conceiving wc u referred to as child abuse, many of us small scale piggery farmers are guilty of this, bt wt good mgt they do fine.

lagbaja:

Eefosa1:

ignis:
Poultry business is all about grace and calling. If it's not your calling, forget it and look for another business.

you are correct its not all abt money.

I put in for agric econs bt still pending

With due respect to people that make use of concrete pond, both will yield profit. However, one will do better than the other. Aside that, fish tend to do well in a natural environment.

in addition, you can't compare the growth of fishes in an earthen system wt water flowing in and out wt a concrete pond wt stagnant water.

Ttalk:
Pls how can Gasolin [Petrol] Water Pump be used to pump water from a well? The type of the water pump is the one normally used to pump water from river. Any idea from members of the house please.

You can view the link below to see a similar pics of the pump

water pump is not ideal for well because of d dept of d well it takes time for it to pump out water and u spend more buying d rubber hose. Why not go for submersible pumping machine wc is less than twenty thousand.

Fellow farmers let us not choose to ignore negative comment about our Industry. I have heard ignorant journalists both in print and electronic media spew rubbish just to sell news. The 2005-2006 bird flu is a testimonial where farms were Hawking crates of egg @150/crate and yet people refuse to buy. Just recently the Ebola scare made people boycott pork becos an ignoranmus said pork could spread Ebola despite absence of any evidence to that effect. Let us defend and educate people about the benefits of our dear pork.

The govt too has a lot of role to play by protecting small and medium scale industries or firms in d area of enlightenment in order nt to kill these industries. Also there shd b compensations to farmers who have invested take d example u sited wt d bush meat sellers.
