How many tomato stands do you have on one hectare? What is the ideal spacing? Somebody EPP!! |
Re: Tomato Production And Marketing. Facts Backed With Figures by jethro2: 1:54pm On Jun 21, 2017 |
karlxavier: 10 tons of manuare is recommended for an acre. The manure applied and till with the soil |
Re: Tomato Production And Marketing. Facts Backed With Figures by jethro2: 11:22pm On Jul 03, 2017 |
Veggiefan: So may things will determine the no of plants you have on an hectare The spacing of your farm A 30 cm drip will have more plants than a 40cm spaced drip. Like wise a 50cm space drip will have less plant than all of the previous ones. However the no of tomato plants on an hectare starts from 12,000 plants and could take as much as 50,000 plants based on the spacing |

jethro2: Hi Jethro I think there's a little mix up here... when the spacing is less as in the case of 30cm then you will have more plant stands on any area of land than when the spacing is increased to like 50cm. The smaller the spacing the more the plant stands, and the bigger the spacing the lesser the plant stands. |

Ewagemise: The variety, soil management, water usage, no of seeds in the greenhouse all contributes to the kg that will be harvested. Please find the price of tomato in any nearby market |

Re: Tomato Production And Marketing. Facts Backed With Figures by karlxavier(m): 1:42pm On Jul 27, 2017 |
Jethro, please I have some questions to ask. When producing for standard market, must one use solely greenhouse to produce for the standard market alone? Secondly, when doing an open field cultivation, can one grow through out the year with irrigation or are their months where u would stop growing? Thirdly, can open field be used to achieve desired results for the standard market? Thanks as u answer the questions. |
Re: Tomato Production And Marketing. Facts Backed With Figures by jethro2: 5:08pm On Jul 27, 2017 |
karlxavier: 1. No . Its not compulsory you use greenhouse. What the market demand is quality produce. If you can meet that by open field planting, you are good. 2. Yes. You can grow throughout the year depending on the variety of seed you intend using. Some seed can withstand excess rainfall while some can not. 3. Yes. Open field can be use to achieve desired produce for standard market. You are welcome 1 Like |

Thanks madam. You are a rare gem. One more question, after one comes for the three months training and gets trained on the agricultural practices in growing tomato, can one be selling only to the standard market if his farm is in the western eg, oyo and Ogun? Assuming one decides to do one acre with good practices, can he be assured of linkage to the standard market? Thanks as you reply madam |
Re: Tomato Production And Marketing. Facts Backed With Figures by johnnyblaze424: 11:11pm On Jul 27, 2017 |
jethro2: Thumbs up for the good work you're doing here ma,i have one or two questions i'd like you to help me out with.1. is "roma savana" tomato specie the same thing as "roma vf"??2. is there any selective herbicide i can safely use in a tomato field. (someone recommended"starforce)Thanks |
Re: Tomato Production And Marketing. Facts Backed With Figures by jethro2: 6:34pm On Jul 28, 2017 |
johnnyblaze424: No. Roma Savana is not the same as Roma VF. There are several companies producing tomatoes and each tend to give their own specific name which some time might be similar. The two varieties come from different producer. Not sure there is any selective herbicide for vegetables. Your nest bet is manual weeding |
Re: Tomato Production And Marketing. Facts Backed With Figures by jethro2: 6:36pm On Jul 28, 2017 |
karlxavier: The standard markets have continue to imports vegetables because the rural farmers could not produce the quality required. Sure. You will be linked to market once you have the good products and can supply consistently because that requires you signing an agreement letter with them to supply all year round |
Re: Tomato Production And Marketing. Facts Backed With Figures by jethro2: 6:45pm On Jul 28, 2017 |
Kataw: Though I have attended to this question on whatsapp. But for others to benefit from it 1. I can't say. You have to buy and use it to know the measurement. I don't use plastic mulch 2. Drip irrigation is the best recommended for tomatoes. Though others will work for it. Call 08025171575. He might be able to help 3. Under good agricultural practise, maxim is really very good. I have used it before 4. Talk to 08165535839 for maxim price 5. Please visit Mile 12, Ile epo in Lagos or Sasha and Bodija in Ibadan for the current cost. You are welcome 1 Like |

Goodday Jethro, Please I have some further questions to ask. What is the sole advantage a greenhouse has over open field cultivation? Can all the factors be controlled in an open field cultivation just like greenhouse? I believe open field farm set up would be cheaper than setting up a greenhouse, what does greenhouse have to offer a farmer and his investor? Please reply |
Re: Tomato Production And Marketing. Facts Backed With Figures by jethro2: 8:24pm On Jul 31, 2017 |
karlxavier: The greenhouse have the advantage of great reduction in pests because of the protective cover. Yes it can be controlled with good spraying regime and good agricultural practise. Greenhouse gives you better offer in excessive rainy period. Some vegetables especially tomatoes don't like excess water |
