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!

the second pics is caused by sunburn while the first is caused by thrips. Use Renova 5gm per knapsack to prevent it next time.

The first pix appears to be insect infection.
2nd pix is due to sudden exposure to sunlight. The fruits have probably bn displaced by wind or human activities from the tomato leaves that was covering/shielding it from direct sun rays.

Big thanks for your advise, suggestions and insight, Cc Dayo 1988, jidestroud, ideepaul, emmaachile2, OluchiDelly. I loose close to 20 crate to that infection . I will go for insect infection for now, why because I stop using any Insecticide that has any Cypermethrin,
Profenofos, Imidaclorid as ingredient When I noticed flowering, I was using caterpillar force as my insecticide. I stop using any insecticide when I start my harvest... (20 crate is over 200k ) I was even considering calcium deficiency

Another harvest today... market is dull maybe it due to rain! Grade1 12k- 11k. One More harvest to go...

Thank you, sir. I just called you. Pls where can I get the seed to buy in Ekiti.

Yes it's packed but the BW resistance is Intermediate not high, so you need to take precautions, its an amazing cultivar though

emmaachile2:

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.

Last harvest today... in terms of yields, price and quality it is far better than Last year own. I thank God for making it a successful one,and all the contributor on this platform, believe it or not I have gain few more things on this platform this season which I believe will make me a better farmer next season.like seriously... I am happy with my harvest this year...... till next year again... Price today, Grade1 13-12k,grade2 12-10k.

Mr student, What happened to the 2nd question you were asked above? That's even the most important question. When you state your location, people from that axis can give u a hint.

Btw, what variety did you plant? Local or hybrid?

I'm located in oyo state, igboora

Pls can tomatoes be planted along with maize

Johnboom:

you are joking right? Do you know how stressful is it to cultivate tomato successfully in a commercial level? Don't even dream it because both are not compatible.

Yes can plant it, I will prefer you plant diva f1 to Padma f1, diva is bigger and red than Padma, and it doesn't crack.

You seem to be closer to Abeokuta town, which is a Capita city. So market should not be a problem.

Farmerakinloye6:
Yes can plant it, I will prefer you plant diva f1 to Padma f1, diva is bigger and red than Padma, and it doesn't crack.

I already have padma f1 about 3500 stands on my farm but still have space for about 2000 stand. I have gotten platinum f1 5grams. I might start the nursery tomorrow... The padma will be 2 weeks after transplanting next tomorrow.

Any variety is prone to crack if there is an excess uptake of water

Day 57
Mistakes as observed so far
I started staking late
Heavy rainfall 2wks back made lots of it bend
I’m wetting manually and the soil moisture is barely enough as rain don reduce drastically

It’s my first time with hybrid tomatoes guys
It’s flowering and fruiting too atm
Any corrections to be made?

Ps:I’ll be getting the irrigation tape for the next batch Gods grace.

It's not easy watering manually, but encourage yourself with the fact that your tomatoes should be ready next month when a crate should still be selling above 10k, this will make you ignore the stress of manual watering, if you don't water regularly, the fruits will take up more water than they can hold when it eventually rains and they will start to crack; another thing: continue to spray catapillarforce or belt expert because of sucking worms and tuta that might have been deposited on the flower by butterfly and they will form inside the fruits and begin to spoil it.
