What is the best fertilizer regiment for tomatoes?
Re: Step By Step Improve Way Of Cultivating TOMATOES by Farmerakinloye6(m): 11:38pm On Aug 11, 2021
Adeola245:
. Layman terms please
fungicide I used the last time I cultivate tomato were ortiva top, Cabrio duo and saaf, I alternate the three and I don't have issue with my tomato leaf not until I start plucking it... I will advise you to follow the basic (spraying pesticides, manure, weeding, pruning and staking in appropriate time.) seriously and leave the rest for God. Once you start plucking open field tomato fruit, no how the leaf will change which I believe is general everywhere!

once you use good quality and quantity manure plus NPk 15:15:15 and the basics, seriously! you will get meaningful result. Calmag, potassium nitrates e.t.c are also good if you know when and how to use them.

Okay,thanks

The beauty of it is that as big as this market is in Abeokuta they’re so used to local tomatoes so I had no competition selling mine and they don’t know the crate measurement so I sell in small baskets

I think 2.5 of my small basket should fill a crate which is still within range so far I’ve sold betw 3.5-4K per basket

The supposed agent called me this afternoon to bring tomatoes for them at the market it’s like the supply is short is simply declined and told her to wait till market day

oil dey your Head... I like your calculation.. that means if you are using crate to sell it will be 10k.. nice one. If agent called you to bring tomato make sure you inflates the price a little bit, and stay with him, If possible join him to call customer too. Next time you are taking your tomato to market, take your time to arrange the fruit, like the very ripe (so RED!) ones should be at the top. So it can attract customer, we call it grading here. Baba, I will be expecting your tithes grin cheesy grin

I’m definitely sorting for my next production, once they harvest this one na straight to market cos work too plenty for now

The agent called again and the idiot in me is so happy seeing her begging to bring produce for her,I have a feeling this next market go crazy gan.So I settled to supply her local tomatoes at 3k per basket the highest so far.

Ogami sir the ministry is moving so tithe is necessary,konibaje�

Please I need ur guide. I want to start my tomato farm on the 2nd week of October with irrigation but I'm confused about the cultivar that will be MOST suitable for commercial farming & I'm aiming at 1000 stands for a start. I will be glad getting ur honest suggestions & maybe certain features about the cultivar.

My location is River State.


Thanks in advance.
