OluchiDelly: Yes I treated with nematicide (wormforce) |

Farmerakinloye6: It has currently affected like 40% of my diva stands and very few of platinum... I spoke the country manager of East West seeds today's and she confirmed it BW.. |
Re: Step By Step Improve Way Of Cultivating TOMATOES by Farmerakinloye6(m): 7:33pm On Mar 22, 2023 |
mcyemite:sorry about that...I have like 3500 diva seedlings in nursery, I will post about it when I transplant. 1 Like |
Re: Step By Step Improve Way Of Cultivating TOMATOES by Farmerakinloye6(m): 7:35pm On Mar 22, 2023 |
pathology:any insecticide will work, but I will prefer (contact) cypermethrin. Purpose is to kill insect that may cut the seedlings when we transplant. |

mcyemite: 40%! The BW strain in your soil must be the stubborn one o. Sadly it has no cure, maybe few prevention. If you had grown poor tomato variety on that land before, it can also populate the bacteria. With this one that it also affects few platinum, you will need to rest the land after this batch and do crop rotation for few years before u can use it for tomato again. |

What are the best pre-emergence and post emergence herbicides for tomato and pepper farm. |
Re: Step By Step Improve Way Of Cultivating TOMATOES by Simfglobal: 7:32pm On Mar 26, 2023 |
DeejaywonDJ1:Herbicide for tomato farm?? Be careful poo. Use manual weeding. Only experts can use contact herbicide to kill the weeds within the row while you use hand to weed the beds You can spray contact herbicide on pepper but you must be very careful too |

Aquadude16: The tomatoes have improved/settled in their new home. I lost a few and wish to ask of it's wise to replace them from my new nursery batch? My observation on the recent experience is that: 1. The young tomatoes were too tall at the time of transplanting them. We had to dig deeper holes to accommodate the height. But, the workers that did the transplant did not fill the soil properly to hold the root+stem. There was vacuum beneath the soil and the plant. 2. The transplant operation started in the morning through the afternoon. The hot weather of the day and subsequent days of no rainfall stressed the plant as well. Can I gap-fill with younger plants from the nursery please? |

solarized:You can replant sir, that if they are of the same sizes and age |
Re: Step By Step Improve Way Of Cultivating TOMATOES by Farmerakinloye6(m): 9:27am On Mar 31, 2023 |
solarized:I will advise you not to do supply with young seedlings. if you do, you will notice both will go at thesame time. |
Re: Step By Step Improve Way Of Cultivating TOMATOES by Farmerakinloye6(m): 9:34am On Mar 31, 2023 |
solarized:do you use quality manure, and how many times have you applied fertilizer? This your tomato stalk shows not enough nutrient. You try! but can still do more. |
Re: Step By Step Improve Way Of Cultivating TOMATOES by solarized: 11:02am On Mar 31, 2023 |
Aquadude16: Farmerakinloye6: They are not of same age, so I bet it's best not to replace them then. Thanks. |
Re: Step By Step Improve Way Of Cultivating TOMATOES by solarized: 11:07am On Mar 31, 2023 |
Farmerakinloye6: I applied NPK moments ago. Transplant was done 10-11th of March. I sprayed Haifa Bonus liquid fertilizer 5 days ago. No Manure used so far due to its unavailability. Thanks. |

Re: Step By Step Improve Way Of Cultivating TOMATOES by OluchiDelly: 5:08am On Apr 02, 2023 |
mcyemite: I asked about the history of the land the other day if tomato has previously been cultivated on it before. Deficiency wl not give leaves dark spots. its disease, most likely early blight, late blight is worse. Get ortiva top or blue snow, both contain same ingredients. |
Re: Step By Step Improve Way Of Cultivating TOMATOES by Farmerakinloye6(m): 6:54am On Apr 02, 2023 |
mcyemite:sorry about this! With time you will master the skills. Is blue snow or similar fungicide part of your spraying program? If not introduce it when your tomato plant is exactly a month on the field, 15ml per 16lit, once in 2-3 weeks in evening. |
Re: Step By Step Improve Way Of Cultivating TOMATOES by mcyemite(m): 9:00am On Apr 02, 2023 |
OluchiDelly: The land has actually been idle for like a ddecad, I don't know the histoy before then.. Alright I will get bluesnow asap I've not seen ortiva top in all the stores I've been to |
Re: Step By Step Improve Way Of Cultivating TOMATOES by mcyemite(m): 9:01am On Apr 02, 2023 |
Farmerakinloye6: Alright thanks boss..they I also spray when the plants have started fruiting ? |
Re: Step By Step Improve Way Of Cultivating TOMATOES by Farmerakinloye6(m): 12:24pm On Apr 02, 2023 |
mcyemite:sure! Don't use overdose or spray it frequently,if you do it will burn your plant. Once in two or three weeks is okay! |
Re: Step By Step Improve Way Of Cultivating TOMATOES by mcyemite(m): 2:15pm On Apr 03, 2023 |
Farmerakinloye6:Thanks boss...fungicare too has the same active ingredients as blue snow I will get it right away.... although I've used it on these same plants before once cus the container is just 100ml... |
Re: Step By Step Improve Way Of Cultivating TOMATOES by Cizarr(m): 3:35pm On Apr 03, 2023 |
Simfglobal:(1). Please my question is that, can I spray the land because of weeds before transplanting the tomatoes. (2). Can I plant the tomatoes naw at this period without irrigation system, will the rain be enough for it at this particular time. @Farmerakinloye6 @Simfglobal |
Re: Step By Step Improve Way Of Cultivating TOMATOES by Simfglobal: 7:08am On Apr 06, 2023 |
Cizarr: You can't plant tomato now without irrigation. Tomato does not like too much water like that but need enough water for at least two weeks to become fully established after transplanting, and rain is not falling now. Secondly, I will advice you don't use herbicide to prepare your soil, herbicide used to prepare land for transplanting have residual effects on tomatoe. I lost more than 200 seedling to this. |
Re: Step By Step Improve Way Of Cultivating TOMATOES by Cizarr(m): 1:02pm On Apr 06, 2023 |
Simfglobal:Alright... Thank you very much |
Re: Step By Step Improve Way Of Cultivating TOMATOES by Bishopatra: 1:08pm On Apr 07, 2023 |
mcyemite: Op,how is it going with your tomatoes without using irrigation..it's been 14days since we last saw rainfall here,I hope newbie farmers understand the need to have drip irrigation installed first,guarantees that your plants will always have water...sorry,I had to come back to this |
Re: Step By Step Improve Way Of Cultivating TOMATOES by mcyemite(m): 8:55am On Apr 14, 2023 |
I got the most out them and was able to get irrigation kit from the proceedings..if your farm is on a small scale,below 1000 stands ..get watering can and water manually...on a large scale don't do dry season farming. |

Please, I have already planted some tomatoes this just for subsistence purpose but my challenge is how to preserve them during this rainy season to be used later in the dry season. Any idea on how to do that? 1 Like |
