you can create your own thread and start advertising on it. It is called space on Quora. On Quora I don't need to even call moderator I will simply disabled your comment because creator are giving some power over their space. How many good thread is alive again? You and your like has derail everything, and agriculture section has turn to joke because seun and moderator allow it. Let me school you on how to market stuff like this; you will plant few stand (like hundred stand) update us every weeks with both picture and videos, what we need to grow it like nutrient, manure etc, spacing, disease resistance and the yield. It is then commercial farmers can buy it, nobody want to be use as try and error. I have seen production of this your seed and I can say "it doesn't Worth planting commercially."

Ogbeni rest, this ain't quora. If I posted stuffs not related to agric then you have every reason to be angry oga. I am not a practicing farmer even though I have demo farms where all these varieties are already tested. Will I sell out stuffs that ain't genuine. Research about the company before spitting trash.

Boss no be so, them dey take talk to person, him for tell me straight up say guy don't post here again, leave. I for respect myself, I swear. But he was busy with calling on the mod and saying trash about my product. Because a product doesn't work for you doesn't mean it won't work for others, factoring other things.
He did the first one I ignored him and this I can't take it and for you to tarnish an international brand that's has been working for more than 20 years won't be welcomed. I have worked with Jubaili and now this company and I studied soil science, definitely I know what I am marketing.

A crate of hybrid currently sells #10,000 in my location. Considering the size of your tomato fruits, it may sell lesser.

I don't expect it to work for everyone cause I don't know your system of production and how you were able to utilize it. Moreover, there is a clear difference between a Rio and UC and also hybrid varieties.
I have seen individuals who buy even griffaton and they still complain. When you dig deep into it, one notice either wrong time planting, not getting to understand the type of soil, not knowing the variety that grows in such locality etc. But as I have said what works for Mr. A might not work for Mr. B, therefore the success rate for the last decades speaks volumes and when it comes to varieties of vegetable seeds only this four companies comes to mind
Starke Ayres
Griffaton
Graffers
Jubaili.

One of my Gwari customer in Gadan Gaya (Zaria), his own harvest. His seventh harvest, for those who understands that you can plant tomato varieties and harvest a minimum of 10 times.

I never wanted to post anything here but after I was been quoted I had too. And if the mod feels is against the rule, then it can be deleted. My message has been passed and I don't expect anyone to believe me coz those that buy in bulks and practice large commercial scale farming are testifying even before I joined this company.

Please which chemical do I use to eradicate small snails in my farm? Tiny snails have invaded the place I intend to plant my tomatoes. They eat up all the vegetables in the surrounding gardens. Previously, they ate up all my germinated tomatoes seedlings in two seed trays overnights. I had to take my current batch inside a tent, but now I don't know how to kill the ones in the field. Help me please

Hello. Please how many pepper plants can I fit on my 2plots of land to get maximum possible output sir
REUBEN010:


RISK MANAGEMENT.
A lot of us have other enterprises. Aside tomatoes, some of us here cultivate pepper, watermelon, yam, cucumber etc. I have 1 acre of pepper in addition to my 2 acres of tomatoes of different ages but we don't need to start showing off all our enterprises. Besides, do you think the local seed farmers expend all the resources (staking, time and agro chemicals) we expend on our hybrid tomatoes?
Imagine what is currently happening to the sole cropping tomato farmers up North that are currently ravaged by Tuta absoluta (tomato Ebola). This is the reason many diversify into other enterprises to spread our risks and we don't jump out to declare all our enterprises. A 2plots tomatoes farmer may have 10 acres of cassava elsewhere.

Hello. Please how many pepper plants can I fit on my 2plots of land to get maximum possible output sir
In my opinion, I classify pepper population on a plot of 450Sqm as follows:
Low population(wider spacing): 400-450 stands.
Moderate population(mod. spacing): 451-550 stands.
High population(low spacing): 550-800 stands.

Your plant population is dependent on factors such as:

*Type of irrigation (different spacing for different irrigation systems).

*Plantlife (the longer you intend to harvest the peppers, the wider the spacing to accommodate more branching).

*Experience (Closer spacing requires more managerial skills and abilities because you'll battle more bacterial and fungal diseases).

*Availability of other resources (the availability of other resources such as money, manure, time, water, etc. determines your plant population because it's wiser to have fewer stands on wider spacing that you can comfortably manage compared to spreading lean resources over high population. When well managed, the fewer stands will give you equivalent or more yield compared to the high population density). The wider spacing gives room for heavier branching and more fruiting. Imagine rationing manure/fertilizer/water meant for 800 stands for 1500 stands.

But high population density (closer spacing) also has some advantages over low population. A few of these are:

*Your harvest will come heavy earlier compared to that of the low population.

*High population can become an effective means of weed control because they will shade the ground against weed earlier than low population.

*You will break-even faster on high population than low population.

The choice is yours.

What's wrong with mop? What variety is this?

I am planting Jarrah Rz F1 in grow bags though it meant for dry season. I learnt if gap is followed, I should get up to 70 fruits of 100g each. Some get more but fertilizers to achieve this are Urea 46:0:0, npk 15:15:15, mop 0:0:60, limestone with a magnesium supplement like Epsom salt. A magnesium fertilizer will be best if available.


What's GAP please?

. If there is weed on your already prepared field you can use paraforce to spray the place 2 days before transplanting.


Cant you use systemic instead. To prolong the time weed will appear
