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.

Thank you sir, I value this input.. I will experiment and feedback my observation.. Or confirmation.

I dey follow you my Oga

Pls can two wells of 16rings combined do for a 2plot of say 2500-3000 when transplanting is done around early March next year
2) can foliar fertilizers like foliar plus, Agrovert replace granular fertilizers? If so can you share a regimen of the types of Agrovert to use per each stage of tomato growth?

your Nursary should be 21days before transplant . if the nursary grow fast 14days will be okay. you can continue to apply super grow

My location is in the forest and not close by home. Alot of hoppers will feast on the stems when they are tall at 21 days old. The first set of nursery tomato seedlings I did,they really did a terrible work on my farm even with spraying of insecticides. So,if the tomatoes start from the cradle,they will not differentiate if from other plants until they are mature enough .

Also,the rain also disturb my nursery as a lot of them will lie down and rotten away with heavy rainfall. Tho,I have used nylon to cover the surface but ,I want to cut my loss this time by starting the transplant early.

your seedling should be at least 15-21 days before you transplant, if you try this during dry season, your seedling might not survive it. Continue to wet Incase it doesn't rain 4-5 days. You can start applying your super grow, hope you know it is not fertilizer?

The suppergrow is working perfectly.

Sure, I know it's usually after 14days. They are doing well now.

I have started applying npk .

Rain hasn't been failing for the past 8 days now. I keep wetting morning and night except this evening I am chatting.

Hello greatest farmers, I noticed some of my tomatoes that are just fruiting are having signs of Blossom End Rust (BER). What can I use to correct this please?

the thing is, I am a full time farmer and I have calendar date for all commodity I grow.for example, if am planting maize to sell fresh, then I will plant by may 20-23 so that it will mature by second week of August,by that time plantain will still be scarce, and maize plant by subsistence farmer will be off market.same goes to tomato, at the moment, The Price of crate in akure is # 6000-6500, lag #9000-12000, hearing this price many people will definitely join the ship which later turn to glut. nevertheless, if you understand the game, you will always make meaningful profit anytime you plant.

Where are you based in Akure? I am in Police college area around odudu. Can I pay a visit to your farm and learn one or two things?

For those that are curious on how to apply lime, here it is.make ridges,then use drip tape to mark hole point, one cup of hand will do for each hole.

What's the job of the lime and should it be applied before manure?

what you described is end rot. Next time introduce calcium (basal or foliar) fertilizer when you notice flowering.

I think what u call "working" is as a result of good soil or good and vigorous plant variety not as a result of the application of super grow. Super grow has none of the macro and micro nutrient/elements and so it is NOT a fertilizer. You cannot rely on it to give u good fruit or even make the leaves green, it is basically to minimize translocation in plants by helping them conserve water, and this is rainy season translocation is not a problem.
