They look good sir. Not quite clear but it appears you planted on double rows. If so it's not the best for proper management: spraying, weeding, staking, picking, disease check, etc. Single row is just ok. REUBEN010: |

Alsenora: Used double row because I envisaged temporary drought (rains started early this year) between when I transplanted and June. The raised flat bed helps to retain moisture and nutrient with minimal irrigation time (use 1 litre of fuel per wetting). I will revert to single rows for the next batch because rains will be stabilized by then. Thanks for the comment. 3 Likes |

Hello farmers,I have bacterial spot and speck on my fruits,has anyone here experienced it before...what's the best prevention method and treatment @farmerakinloye6 @oluchidelly @grandpoh @simfglobal @REUBEN010

Re: Step By Step Improve Way Of Cultivating TOMATOES by REUBEN010(m): 8:01pm On May 15, 2023 |
mcyemite: In my opinion, drenching the plants and fruits with a fungicide combination of copper + mancozeb will contain it. You can alternate with bluesnow or five star fungicides. Remember to spray regularly. For prevention, avoid handling your crops during the cooler part of the day (morning and late evening). You can transmit the disease rapidly when you handle the wet leaves. |

REUBEN010:from the day I did nursery. |
Re: Step By Step Improve Way Of Cultivating TOMATOES by Simfglobal: 9:59am On May 16, 2023 |
REUBEN010: Exactly what I will recommend, but in addition, be careful if the dosage of the fungicides being applied. It's better to apply in small doses regularly |
Re: Step By Step Improve Way Of Cultivating TOMATOES by REUBEN010(m): 10:09am On May 16, 2023 |
Farmerakinloye6: Okay. Thanks. |

Olajobi4real: Be careful of the volume and type of potassium you supply twice weekly so you don't greatly alter the pH of your soil. If excess, the effects may become problematic with subsequent batches. |

great farmers in the house, has anyone ever experimented with using NPK 15:15:15 as a foliar fertilizer? I mean dissolving the usual NPK 15:15:15 granular fertilizer in water, then use the solvent as foliar |
Re: Step By Step Improve Way Of Cultivating TOMATOES by REUBEN010(m): 6:28pm On May 16, 2023 |
johnnyblaze424: Not all components of NPK 15:15:15 will be absorbed through the leaves. You end up wasting the fertilizer while exposing your crops to leaf burn and disease attack. The remnants on the leaves will serve as breeding ground (infection court) for proliferation of fungal and bacterial diseases. |

Re: Step By Step Improve Way Of Cultivating TOMATOES by johnnyblaze424: 8:59pm On May 16, 2023 |
REUBEN010: I think I'll experiment this on a few stand in my garden (not the main farm). just curious |
Re: Step By Step Improve Way Of Cultivating TOMATOES by mcyemite(m): 11:17am On May 17, 2023 |
REUBEN010: Everything you said was actually observed ,copper and mancozeb (Coco force and saaf) were part of routine fungicides that we spray alternatively every 5 days and after heavy rainfalls other fungicides we spray are fungi care (Azoxystrobin 200G/L + Difenoconazole) and cabri duo. Thanks for your contribution... |

mcyemite: Hello bro. Any improvement in containment of the bacteria spot? |
Re: Step By Step Improve Way Of Cultivating TOMATOES by REUBEN010(m): 11:49pm On May 20, 2023 |
@ Farmerakinloye6. Please I'm interested in updates on your tomatoes. Can you kindly share? |
Re: Step By Step Improve Way Of Cultivating TOMATOES by REUBEN010(m): 11:51pm On May 20, 2023 |
OluchiDelly: Cool cashout. I hope to sell at premium price when mine is ready. Please how old are your tomatoes currently? |
Re: Step By Step Improve Way Of Cultivating TOMATOES by OluchiDelly: 12:57am On May 21, 2023 |
REUBEN010: you can say that again , this time last year we sold @ around half of this curent price and we were still happy then. 70days, scanty pickings began @ 65days after sowing. |
Re: Step By Step Improve Way Of Cultivating TOMATOES by REUBEN010(m): 6:17am On May 21, 2023 |
OluchiDelly: 70days after nursing or transplant? |
Re: Step By Step Improve Way Of Cultivating TOMATOES by OluchiDelly: 6:30pm On May 21, 2023 |
REUBEN010: I mentioned "Sowing". sow=seeds. Transplant=seedlings |
Re: Step By Step Improve Way Of Cultivating TOMATOES by REUBEN010(m): 11:10pm On May 21, 2023 |
OluchiDelly: I very well understand the terminologies. My confusion is that your crops matured way earlier than the regular 90 - 120days after sowing. Please can you share information about how you achieved this and what variety was cultuvated? 1 Like |

REUBEN010: I am very sorry ...a mix up from my end here, my brain probably picked up the date of sowing my maize instead of my Tom. I just checked my farm record now, check it out and pls do the maths yourself for both nursery and transplanting, the transpl date will be more appropriate cos the nursery overstayed due to some issues beyond my control. Few pickings commenced on 15th, while Mayor harvesting on 20th May. My apology once again. Thank you, love your sense of paying attention to details. 1 Like
