@ Olamimo. I thought you are new in farming or an intending farmer. Have you cultivated water melon before?. I read your post where you were asking for experience farmers to be of assistance.
How come you are all over thread giving advises to suppose intending farmers?
Please I am kind of confused.

@ Soloxam. Please attend to the new farmers questions on this thread.
Seed and whatever information on watermelon.
I know you have offices in the Northern part. Please link them up for seed.
Thank you
Soloxam:
@Senato, as regards the seed verities: we have water melon koloss f1, it pack in 50gs, Kolack is pack in 500g,100g and 10g, sugar baby is as well pack the same way kaolack is packed, we have chalenstine gray, it the oblong type pack in 100g, Tomato verieties we have open pollinated and Hybrids, the open pollinated are packed in 100g and 10g, the verities available now are, tomato Tropimech,uc82b,Roman vf,Roman savanah,Tima,Rio grand de,Buffalo. The hybrid verities are tomato Jaguar f1, Lindo F1,cobra f1,Nadira F1, panthern 17f1, copernic f1,kiara f1, Thorgal f1, kelvin f1. These verities all have specific season u can plant them, reason because the are resistance to different kind of disease which are always peculiar to a particular season, so when you come to us we tell u what to plant at a point in time, and they are some that can be planted any time of the year.......m As regards the price I can't mention now because the price list for the year is not out now so I won't want to be quoted that you told us a price and now we are ready to buy u are given us another price, am very sure there will surely be increment in price, and am sure u too knows the reason, increase in dollar rate....... But as at last year price list the hybrids tomato if u are buy in bulk its sold for 6k/50g, retails is 6500, u have minimal of 15000 seeds, the open pollinated, bulk 1900/100g, retail 2000 minimal of 30000seeds. Pls the price will change, am very sure about that the management are working on it. Thanks.
