Oh ok, from royal seed. I love its unique shape.

Yep it's lovely cultivar, can't wait to compare it with cobra 26 that's already fruiting too

A beg do. Cobra too is another excellent cultivar. Seems both have similar disease resistance catalogue.
I learnt the Rambo F1 is a Kenyan product, when will our own research institutes wake up? The only thing our own Premier Seed does is to be rebranding and repackaging UC, Roma, marketers and marketmore up and down.

I thought premier seeds only do maize seeds?
The Rambo F1 is one to watch as it's has all the checked points; bw resistance, large size tomato above 150g , and should be classed in the category of the Sakata Martyna F1.
East west, Technisem and co are still behind in tomato due to its small size.

Another harvest today@13k grade1. I heard Lagos is 14-15k at the moment. Hmmmm! Live no balance at all, tomato crate that was sold #500 December and #1200 janu-feb.

I used to see their repackaged old school opv tom and cucumber seeds.

Regarding tom sizes, most southern farmers prefer a medium size tom for staking convinience. Bigger sizes can break stakes or even break its own stems during strong wind. Unlike those of you in the central and far north where little or no staking is required.

Farmerakinloye6:
this is what it looks like per kilo before dissolveing it.

Please how many seedling trays can a kilo of coco pit cover. Or how may stands of seeds will benefit from a kilo of coco pit.?

has any one planted the local yoruba tomato along side good hybrids........ what is the major difference especially yield, most local farmers that hardly spend a dine keep cultivating this type, If you have taken care of this tomato along side a good hybrid please share the difference

I sold a rubber basket equivalent to this crate 18k yesterday. See the way market women were begging for 15k I nor gree and I also condition them to come to the farm that am not taking it to them. They all rushed down to buy.
I always love this season of tomatoes

LoL... serious inflation at work! it was not like this this time last year. Banditry/kidnapping has seriously reduced supply from the north.
Same way my people visited the site of our last year pepper farm. The few stands that survived from cattle grazing were fruiting massively...i was shocked when they were telling me they were selling @2k per small painter rubber to street vendors. Same rubber they may price below N200 during glut.

are you sure it's not late blight? With the lower leafs looking like they are burnt eventually and the plant loosing leafs at an alarming rate?

Another harvest today, I sold 11k at grade3, grade 1 was 13k. I heard Lagos is 15-17k. Had been my tomato is still grade1, I would have join my own too yesterday, and move to Lagos.

I applied velum prime to the land around late April, ever since then any cucumber I plant on that piece of land die off withing two weeks, but when I tested few tomatoes on the same piece of land, it survived.
I tested is some weeks back again and I am still experiencing same problem.

have you taken your farm produce and you notice buyer hissing on it ? A crate of plantinum 13k and crate of local 4.5k...it is people with low budget buying it.

Last year it was cracking which I don't experience this year like that probably because there is no rain. This year Nah this! Abeg my people waiting dey cause dis one? Nah insect,virus or calcium deficiency? Please my people I need answer so I can improve by next year!

Oga boss, I did experience this sometimes late last year when I planted I particular variety (name withheld ). Most likely na sun dey knack your tomatoes I believe It's suncalding, totally a weather problem. But wait o, it's been two weeks I saw sun last, so I may be wrong again

It is irreversible bro, just harvest and prevent moulds from setting in.
