I need honest answers make I no go waste my money oooo.

From my little experience with cobra and platinum....I'll prefer cobra cos I have the two planted in my farm and even padma....All this seed company eeen, anyways me I'm enjoying my sales now, cos I speculated really really well that the price will be high starting from February and i have another batch for next month and another for April too.. I was nursing every month since last year.... Thank God my speculation worked...

Well done.

The rain in portharcourt hasn't being friendly.....we'll harvest tomorrow and pictures will be uploaded here.....Setting up farms for clients this period is not giving me time to update the page but I'll try my best....

[quote author=Shyluck post=105108781][/quote]Google is your friend.... Just do a research yourself..... I farm tomato too....it all depends on, if its for home use or commercial....

Shyluck:
I want experts to help me. I was told by an agent of East West Seed that indeterminate tomatoes can only be grown in the green house. I want to go into tomato farming and I want to do indeterminate. My people can I do it in the open field ?

No you can't grow indeterminate tomatoes in an open field.... You can only grow determinate or semi-determinate tomato in an open field.... Tomato is a very dicey crop, I hope your prepared for it?

we are here to share our own little experience on TOMATO farming and we expect practising farmers and intending farmers on TOMATO to join the discuss, so we can educate the youths on the need to be self employed and make money in farming. Please bear this in mind that agriculture is not A GET RICH QUICK SCHEME. There is prediction of food scarcity next year, so why not get the required technique, knowledge and an entrepreneurial Know-how to succeed in it.

There are two basic reasons i believe why people don't succeed in agribusiness e.g TOMATO FARMING;

1). Basic steps ( Required knowledge)

2). Entrepreneurial mindset ( Economics of the business)

My advice always to people is; you must understudy a practicing farmer and let him mentor you with the right information and tools to succeed in TOMATO agribusiness.

However, i'll be following the set guideline below to share my experience:

1). WHAT to PLANT,
2). WHEN to PLANT
3). HOW to PLANT

which i believe is the core of farming.....

We will be given out a few guidelines here on how profitable the tomato farming is and how to go about it.....so stay tuned but in the main time, we sell tomato seedling and here's a picture of our nursery....

This is really nice
I hope more people in the south go into farming cos that's the only way to avoid food scarcity.

That's the song we are trying to sing.. Telling them you can be your own boss and that agriculture is the way forward....

Cocoboms:
It's actually very possible. Have grown 4 stands of Mydas f1 in my garden before. One thing I noticed is that it has very good continuity in production. Only thing is that you'll need to feed mydas plant very well and use a very very tall stake, if you want to get good results.
First flush of fruit could be up to 6 at once, 2nd flush can comfortably produce 4 fruits with good agronomic practices. I have experienced that. But mind you, it was only 4 stands in my home garden. Replicating such commercially is always a challenge.
Another thing I love about Mydas f1 is that it's 100% parthenocarpic. Read that up if you don't know what it means.

That's why it's production is high, you can get that on monocious or gynocious seed either...

Today cucumber was sold in portharcourt for 13k and tomatoes is still on the high side with pepper following suite.....omo farmers go enjoy this year oooo...thank God for drip, so no dulling for me even with the recent scarcity of rain.....money money money for me, all my hard work is paying off mega this year....

People keeping asking me if we are still farming and I'll always respond with " is there another job that will pay me more, than agriculture in the long run?" We are still feeding the nation through farming. we are still open to:

okoroemeka:
the problem with the cucumbers is CMV or cucumber mosiac virus,it looks like nandini and saira has poor resistance against that,the fruits will have water soaked spots and will spoil immediately after harvest the leafs will also have yellow chlorosis,the best treatment is to change variety

I think its from this batch of seeds they brought into the country because I've being planting this seed for over two years and i've not experience this until last year November till now....my 13plot cucumber farm plus newly installed drip tapes plus workers wages and after everything no result....

safarifarms:
Cucumber has dealt with me seriously and I'm considering looking at other crops like garden egg, tomato and pepper.

Besides the cucumber dying too early, several of the fruits keep getting some kind of disease that I'm yet to find someone with concrete information on the cause and remedy.

See attached pictures.

Most of these cucumbers will desintegrate the next day or in two days.

Has anyone had this same issue and found a solution to it?

i had this same issue since last year december till now i'm still having it with my present harvest and its nandini seed from east west. which seed is yours, cos me i dun tire....i complained to one of there rep and he was telling is weather which i know its a lie cos i planted it year before last dry season but never had this issue. all these seed company reaping nigerian farmers.....

safarifarms:
Nandini did well but they are a bit darker than saira. The cu986 were so white and some of my buyers didn't like it. But there was serious challenge with the area where the cu986 was planted. I think the problem is with the soil. The yield was poor and after about 4 harvests the fruits were getting yellowish before harvest and I couldn't sell anymore.

I have planted all the thia agro seed and the east west seeds too. i remember saying it that nandini will beat the cu986 and even there cu971 too. their cu971 has low resistance to downy mildew and it doesnt produce that much, its a waste of money for people like me, i will always recommend nandini any day, i can even say it might beat there cu999 too....

fiddzy:
have u been using this mixture from the beginning of planting.

spray every three days and think that quantity is too much, you can reduce the laraforce gold to 20ml but be consistent with it, i believe it will reduce.

Omonaijani:
Hello great Farmers, pls can anyone tell me where to get agro chemicals in cartons so I can resell? pls I don't want someone who will resell to me because I want to resell myself, pls help a brother, thanks to everyone in advance

what are the chemicals you need? you can contact me on 08032302338

Cedagrochemical:
Sorry for the late response, I have been unavailable for a while now. Was the velum prime used for bacterial wilt or for nematode attack. And what variety did you cultivate

I planted MOANA from TECHNISM........My tomatoes was actually wilting and i did a little research and found out that velum prime can control bacterial wilt and nematodes too, that's if you detect it on time, which i believe i did and I'm yet to see another plant wilt.......

Cedagrochemical:
What your plants suffered from is bacterial wilt and not nematodes. Velum prime can't control bacterial wilt, don't bother wasting your money on that.

Bacterial wilt has no cure but can be prevented. The only way to prevent it is to plant a Bacterial wilt resistant variety

Different varieties have different degree of resistance to Bacterial wilt. I have been opportuned to try 3 different varieties and I can tell you that Padma F1 has the highest resistance to Bacterial wilt manifestation.

As regards Nematode attack, there are varieties that are also resistant to nematodes, Padma is one of it, Cobra, Thorgal, Rambo etc If you are cultivating a nematode resistant variety, you really don't need a nematicide but if at all you must use it, there are different options in the market. Furadan, wormforce, Orizon, velum etc

As a small scale farmer cultivating less than an acre of tomatoes, go for Agrochemicals that fits your budget and still give great results. The higher your spending, the higher your cost of production and the lesser your profit

the velum prime i applied worked perfectly well...so what's your take on it?

ideepaul:
the nematicide is VELUM PRIME cc: emmafly, farm tech, Okoroemeka
It's about 20k+ for a litre, but I was told it's very effective even when the crops are already infected, and can be applied through drips. Pls I have not used it before o

I have being in cucumber for sometime and decided to add tomato to it last year on pilot and 2plot and now 10plot......the major disaster you can get it in your farm bacterial wilt which starts with nematodes doing justice to the root of the tomatoes before the bacterial finishes the work....one mistake i did was thinking, if build a nursery and treat my seedlings well before transplanting i wont have that attack but i just experienced it lately in my farm for two weeks with me loosing over 50 of my tomato plant and the worst is, it attacked the once bearing bigger fruits more and funny enough i couldn't get a hold of velum prime nematicide to tackle it on time because of the protest and the 24hrs curfew but i was able to get it last week and applied it. now i have peace of mind cos it worked...my advice is, apply velum prime before transplanting to be safe.....there seeds that have resistance to nematode but still apply nematicide to be on safer side. one kobo experience....
