Is there a way to eliminate it?
sun dry it. Normally A poultry litters should be at least a month dry before considering using it. I always use 6-1 year old.

Are there any tomato varieties that can be grown without needing to tie them to a support stake? I think this stake is the major Job which should be eliminated.

If there's anyone in Abeokuta, Ògùn State that's willing and interested in using rabbit poop as manure, kindly respond.

It's free for you. When you come, tip us with any amount you feel like! grin grin

I do spray mine with foliar fertilizer very 5days. During early fruiting stage i do alternate 11-46 and 13-46 but once the fruits are much i use only 13 - 46

Large quantity?

Exactly 81 days today... The current weather is not favourable to my tomato plant. I BLESS God. Harvest will start by Sunday.

Great work Sir..
We cultivated both platinum f1 and cobra 26..
They both did well under same condition..
However, coming to harvest, we r realized the platinum ripening is slow and seem to produce more of yellow fruits than red, reducing the market value.. the cobra ripening is red and brilliant mostly making grade 1.. What could be wrong with the platinum?
How can we possibly correct it next time?

Is my eyes paining me or are you serious?

I am seeing you said you apply 1.2 kg fertilizer per stand. This means you will be using 13,200 kg aka 264 bags of manure for an acre of 10,000/11,000 stands.

Good day farmers in the house. Please how do I deal with this kind of infection on my tomatoes: Pix 1. at the edges of the leaves, they appear to be burnt and a bit folded downwards, is that a fungal disease? Pix 2. they fold upwards and become stiff, not growing well (sort of stunted)

Let me try,
The first picture, looks much like fertilizer burn...

The second might be effect of harsh weather..

you are very correct on your description, the only way you can achieve deep Red with platinum is if you don't use blue snow, five star, ortiva top or any fungicide that has the same active ingredient like them. Unlike cobra or diva, platinum color will change once you use the fungicide back to back. If you have blight issue in your farm I will advise you use any of them, trust me orange colour is better than rotten fruit.

you have not apply any foliar fertilizer too? If yes, then it is cause by overdose insecticide or fungicide.

You are doing mixed cropping with tomatoes?
Wow that is interesting sha...
Looks like a viral infection to me, and thrips, whiteflies and grasshoppers could be helping spread it
