An acre of land gives u 20000heaps, hectare give 2.2 acre. I used heaps. Employ 2 benue people (igedee) for 200,000naira yearly. Dey start work by early February, they start d clearing till middle of may. U prepare planting ur tomatoes in batches. First batch nursery should come up in the middle of april, and second should be by may and third should be by june etc. Depending on d quantity of ur land. Why is it advisable to be in batch ? -Tomatoes has no specific market price. U will be able to meet all d market periods. -harvesting of tomatoes needs time. E.g on an acre of tomatoes ,if u hav gud yields, 10people must harvest for d day. We harvest here every 5days. -wen ur tomatoes start flowering, nw replant on d land wit plantain suckers. Note: D 2 benue guys and u will do all d clearing heaping weeding and adding of fertiliser if ur land is weak. Excluding harvesting. After all dis, at worse scenario, on an hectare, u have 1.6m on tomatoes and u hav like 2200 plantain growing left. Next i will talk on d type of tomatoes varieties, diseases and the soil composition for tomatoes. 2 Likes |

Make sure your tomatoes seedlings spend minimum of 4wks in d nursery so dat u can hav healthy plants. Make ur heaps wen u see dat ur nursery is ready for transplant. Plant immediately after heaping. Try to do d weeding after 7wks of transplant. Note: -Is very likely for d plant to encounter a disease call [aluro] , d plant will suddenly started drying frm d root. If u experience such, dat means the nitrogen in d soil is too much. -It is possible for ur plant to grow well without fruiting very well, the plant will be green and strong very well, bt it will nt bring much flowers for fruiting. Dat means d phosphorous[p] in d soil is low while d potassium[k] is normal. Datz y it is advisable to knw ur soil PH before starting d farm. Note: We continue on d disease during flowering next time. Tomatoes needs time and hard-work. |

GNLD's Super Gro Liquid Fertilizer in 5 Litres GNLD Super Gro is a miracle wonder formula that increases harvest for crops, trees, and fish farmers; likewise poultry farmers. It is very easy to use plus it is safe to handle, non-toxic, non-caustic & non-flammable. Super Gro improves agricultural yields by as much as 167%. Super Gro can be used for all kinds of agricultural crops and trees; VEGETABLES; Ugu, Spinach, Cabbage, Carrots, Okro, etc. ROOT CROPS & TUBERS; Yam, Cassava, Cocoyam, etc. FRUITS; Pineapple, Mangoes, Oranges, Pawpaw, etc. GRAINS; Beans, Rice, Maize, Soyabeans, Groundnut, etc. Super Gro can also be used to improve the quality in; FISH FARMING; Catfish, etc How Does GNLD Super Gro Work? GNLD’s Super Gro acts as both an adjuvant and a surfactant. On one hand, an adjuvant is an agent designed to aid in substances’ action. On the other hand,surfactants are wetting agents. It may seem contradictory, but water does not always wet plants and their roots very well. Thus, often it tends to bead up on the waxy surfaces of plants, lawns and gardens, and before water even has a chance to penetrate, it runs off or evaporates. More water reaches the roots of the plant and stays there making the plant grow in lesser time. How to use GNLD's Super Gro for crops Vegetables, peppers, onions, yam, cocoyam, soya beans, groundnut, etc. Add 1ml of Super Gro to 1 liter of water. Agitate gently and spray on the leaves and stem of the plant. Apply every week, two weeks, three weeks or monthly before flowering. Add 20ml of Super Gro to 20 litres of water to spray 1/4 acre of land. Add 200ml of Super Gro to 250 litres of water to spray 1 hectare of land. Note: (A) After spraying crops with Super Gro, you may see white dots on the plant early in the morning. Do not touch it or worry about it. It attaches solar energy to the plant. (B) Plant your crops in ridges to have a narrow site to walk and spray. (C) After the first spray, spray again with Super Gro every 3 weeks. (D) If you use chemicals to weed your farm, allow the effect of the chemical to wear out first before applying Super Gro i.e. apply Super Gro after four days of using weeding chemicals. (E) If you weed manually with cutlass, pack your weeds and use Super Gro the next day. IF YOU FARM IN NORTHERN NIGERIA WHERE THE WEATHER IS HOT, WHEN THE SUN IS UP, DO NOT SPRAY SUPER GRO ON THE PLANTS BECAUSE SUPER GRO HAS ITS OWN INTERNAL SOLAR STRENGTH. How to use GNLD Super Gro for tree & cash crops Mango, orange, oil palm, kolanut, pineapple, rubber, cocoa, etc. Add 1ml of Super Gro to 1litre of water. Agitate gently and spray on the leaves and stem of the plant. Apply every week, two weeks, three weeks or monthly before flowering. Add 20ml of Super Gro to 20 litres of water to spray 1/4 acre of the lawn. Add 200ml of Super Gro to 250 litres of water to spray 1 hectare of the lawn. Note: (A) For tree crops, a boom sprayer is the best for applying Super Gro. The pressure from a boom sprayer gets more Super Gro onto the crop. (B) If you do not have a boom sprayer, use a watering can but make sure the mouth of the can is not too wide so that your product will not waste. (C) Do try and get a boom sprayer, it is more economical. How to use Super Gro for fish farming Catfish, etc. Concrete or mud ponds are most preferable. Fill the pond with water. Estimate the amount of water in the pond and add 1ml of Super Gro for every 10litres of water in the pond and agitate gently. Leave this treated water for 7 to 10days to fertilise the pond then flush away the treated water. Put fresh water and leave in the pond for 5 to 7 days then stock your fish. You only need 1ml of Super Gro for every 10 litres of water you use in your fish pond. You only need 1ml of Super Gro for every 10 litres of water you use in your fish pond. How to use Super Gro for gardening; indoor plants & lawns. Add 20ml of Super Gro to 20 litres of water to spray 1/4 acre of land. Add 200ml of Super Gro to 250 litres of water to spray 1 hectare of land. This same solution will also work for garden and indoor plants. Spray on leaves and stems (as in crop plants). Super Gro can also be used for indoor plants, flower gardens and lawns. Flowers tended with Super Gro bloom faster, are richer, fresher and more appealing to the eyes. They also do not die quickly because they conserve water on their leaves, stems and roots. Indoor plants treated with Super Gro last longer in their vases or flower pots. Lawns nurtured with Super Gro have greener grass and appear richer and more luxurious. When used together with GNLD Super 10 ( a natural insect repellent), will decrease pests in flowers. In one experiment, red spider infestation of roses was decreased by 43%. When used with fungicides, GNLD Super Gro will reduce early blight in flowers. Powdery mildew in roses was reduced by as much as 35% when Super Gro was used along with crop treatment. KEY BENEFITS OF USING SUPER GRO ON PLANTS AND CROPS 1. GNLD's Super Gro helps make water wetter by reducing its surface tension in addition to acting as a wetting agent. 2. GNLD’s Super Gro helps conserve water. 3.

GNLD's Super Gro acts as an emulsifier to disperse oils. 5. GNLD's Super Gro acts as a wetting agent to lower surface tension. 6. GNLD's Super Gro acts as a dispersing agent to reduce adhesion between particles of chemicals. 7. GNLD's Super Gro makes other agricultural treatments a farmer uses (like fertiliser, insecticides and pesticides), perform better by helping them penetrate deeper, stick better, stay longer and work more effectively. 8. GNLD's Super Gro is very cost effective. KEY BENEFITS OF USING SUPER GRO ON FISH FARM 1. Super Gro promotes the uniform growth of fish. 2.

calebadex:Yes, dry season tomato is the hardest but the best and the most lucrative for those that can endure. Rainy season is not ideal for tomatoes because tomatoes abhor too much water. |

crystalf:There has been a lot of challenges with tomato planting this year. Both in the North and in the South west. The Northerners nicknamed third tomato Ebola while the south west are yet to find a tangible solution. Even Dangote tomato was not spared. My ranting is for you to do more research of what is happening in your area. Check other farmers farm if they are also having the same challenges. Ask questions around. Tomato is a very delicate crop that needs good care and attention. What happens in one location can not be related to another location. Every area with their own challenges. 1 Like |

My people try and read dis quotes, and apply it in ur agricultural business. A farmer must nt be expecting 60% and above good in is business every year. Period of lost will surely come. Wen it come, pray to God, listen to all advice bt be wise in choosing. --“I think everyone should experience defeat at least once during their career. You learn a lot from it.” – Lou Holtz --“Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.” – Mark Twain -- Wen u fail, many advice will come from both knowledgeable and noneticals, bt be wise in ur next step." -Calebadex. |
