omoniyisam:if you ask me which one I will choose at the moment, I will say cucumber because I can smell cucumber glut and attention is on tomato, cucumber price yesterday was 8k and I sold mine 7.5k last harvest. |

Farmerakinloye6: Hmn, plus that it gives a quick returns than tomatoes. Thank you sir |
Re: Step By Step Improve Way Of Cultivating TOMATOES by Chidiebubeoji: 9:35pm On Jun 27, 2023 |
Farmerakinloye6:Ok. I meant, how many times do you grow tomato on a particular piece of land before you switch to cucumber on that same land.? ( That is: crop rotation) or do you keep growing tomatoes on a particular land continuously, year after year. I hope it's clear sir? Thanks |

tessy990:Grey mold or botrytis blight... alternate a fungicide that has chlorothalonil with Five- Star, cabrio duo to stand any chance of slowing down its growth ... I fear this disease more than late blight, as it spreads too quickly to be controlled easily, meanwhile your fruits, stems, and leafs may start growing white molds on them, and it kills whatever it touches |

REUBEN010: I saw you mentioned you cultivate peppers too, how has your journey been like compared to tomatoes and are you doing local or hybrid peppers? |
Re: Step By Step Improve Way Of Cultivating TOMATOES by REUBEN010(m): 11:37am On Jun 29, 2023 |
ideepaul:Unlike tomatoes, pepper is hardy and can better withstand unfavorable environmental conditions. Also, you don't expend much on attention, finance, agrochemicals, water and staking (not needed). I prefer the local pepper to hybrid because of resistance to diseases and adaptability to adverse climatic conditions. If you want to go local, be sure of the seed source so that you don't end up buying seeds of F2 or other generations of hybrid pepper. 1 Like |

Farmerakinloye6: Wow! Which market and state is this sir? What's your predictions as regards price till year end? |
Re: Step By Step Improve Way Of Cultivating TOMATOES by ideepaul: 12:50pm On Jun 30, 2023 |
bosagro23:Disease pressure is high this year, even experienced farmers are failing, the price will go down to an extent but it won't be bad...the challenge will be if you can manage the crops with the heavy bacterial and fungal challenges , and especially towards the hot period when tuta may raise its head again. 1 Like |

@FarmerAkinloye6. Please sir, can you tell me your experience with Ultimate Tomato seed, if you have planted it before. I can get Platinum in the market today. Thanks |
Re: Step By Step Improve Way Of Cultivating TOMATOES by bosagro23: 6:39pm On Jun 30, 2023 |
ideepaul:. Alright sir. You are very right about disease pressure this year. Currently managing an hectare. And the disease load has been crazy. Nothing wey I never spray.... Fungu force, ridomil, green force, azostrobin.....sulphur..... managing though. |
Re: Step By Step Improve Way Of Cultivating TOMATOES by bosagro23: 6:43pm On Jun 30, 2023 |
nuella2015:. I planted two of their varieties last year. Outcome wasn't encouraging. Thank God I had platinum and diva planted alongside. 2 Likes |

bosagro23:During the dry hot season, tuta absoluta will come back. And I am not sure farmers a re ready for this one |
Re: Step By Step Improve Way Of Cultivating TOMATOES by ideepaul: 8:21pm On Jun 30, 2023 |
bosagro23:How is diva compared to platinum based on disease resistance and redness. Cuz I am hearing unbelievable stories of poor wilt resistance and that the fruits are not deep red when the sun doesn't shine well? |
Re: Step By Step Improve Way Of Cultivating TOMATOES by Emempaul(m): 9:16pm On Jun 30, 2023 |
ideepaul: How then do we fight it ooo. Tuta has been very vicious on me. But I haven't given up and still intend to nurse more come august |

Emempaul: i remember you were bent on growing tropimech here around Aug last year despite the handwriting on the wall. is it the opv you are still growing? |
Re: Step By Step Improve Way Of Cultivating TOMATOES by OluchiDelly: 11:46pm On Jun 30, 2023 |
ideepaul: since both are from same breeder, i am not surprised and, it is expected that one or two features would have been substituted for the big size of diva. platinum has a bit of resistance/firmness but diva is bigger and better with attractive deep colour. i planted diva this year, ignore the sunshine myth, all known fruits have delayed ripening during cold weather. @nuella2015, run from any tom seed from the stable of havestfield which ur ultimate warrior is one. |
Re: Step By Step Improve Way Of Cultivating TOMATOES by bosagro23: 12:14am On Jul 01, 2023 |
ideepaul:In an infested land, you loose like 25 percent of diva to wilt compared with platinum. Diva catches blight easily in comparison with platinum. The fruits are bigger and more appealing though. Doesn't carry plenty fruits too. As for redness, I haven't paid much attention. I think it's a general thing in tomatoes. Just like we have here presently. |
Re: Step By Step Improve Way Of Cultivating TOMATOES by mcyemite(m): 8:07pm On Jul 01, 2023 |
bosagro23:the redness of diva isn't something that needs attention it's very obvious ... platinum when fully ripe is more like dark orange orange but diva is very red |
Re: Step By Step Improve Way Of Cultivating TOMATOES by Emempaul(m): 9:02pm On Jul 01, 2023 |
OluchiDelly:No. I opted for the local breed but I did test the tropic mech on a quarter plot. It's safe to say that I wasn't impressed. Infact the local breed impressed me more than that nonsense This August though I will be testing UC 82b from bakers and plantium from east West on different plot along with my local seed as back up..... Just in case |
