In maximizing our current 17 hectares, we are intercroping plantain with tomato fully on the land.

We just got suckers from an Iita Ibadan contact to compare to what we have planted earlier.

We started the plantain planting and will transplant the tomato in two weeks

Hey bro, it is not advisable to have your tomato farm close to plantain or pawpaw plantation not to talk of inter cropping together. Battling nematodes in tomato is a serious issue and plantain root is their abode. Prevention of nematode is far better than looking for cure.

My own advice: Don't inter crop them together. Even if you are going to have them beside each other, use nematicide in correct quantity before or when transplanting your tomatoes. Lastly, seek professional advice.

God bless your work.
