Noiler is a dual purpose breed of chicken developed for small holder farmers to address the challenges of food insecurity
and financial dependency among rural populace, especially women.

Unique Features
Noiler is bred to survive in free range and on kitchen waste and farm by-products
to produce good quality meat and egg, hence dual purpose bird with following
characteristics:

- Hardiness
- High resistance to common diseases
- Heat tolerance
- Low input- feed cost, shelter, labour
- Tougher meat than broiler
- Nutritional security
The Noiler chick is a potential bio-converter of no cost agricultural, household and natural waste abundant in villages — into human protein food and substantial incomes for rural households.it eats whatever the local fowl eats yet grows as big as broiler.isn't this awesome?

Do you have any experience with this DIY soil test kit?? If yes, is it reliable??

I dont want to bombard the soil based on recommendations or with just any fertiliser.. I want to try as much as possible to avoid the word "sorry" on my investment

It is ok .

Pistotita:


My oga, you are talking sense. Like I said, East West is not bad. Hope you understand me. You are talking. In fact, you think like me in some areas. I wrote about a review on my thread about East West, and I think I was not fair. I have been corrected. And I will adjust it..Generally, I am not just impressed with what they bring to W. Africa. But I think I understand better now. Farmers will not buy their good brands. And they will not want to sell OPVs. They just figured out that we need to deal with BW and some disease, and they moved down the cheapest option. Lol.

Ok. Roma is all about paste. So, Derica will.most likely love it. Hope you get me. But I am not sure the ones they planted is actually Derica but can be. Hope you get me. But its plum.

Another issue I want you to know is that paste companies do not care about the taste. They are going to add sause to it and can it. Lol. So, the brix level is non issue to them. When you know these issues, you will make very good decision.

Naturally, I feel.that fresh buyers here should not consider taste since we use tomato as stew and soup, and we add sause to it. But I realised that we dont eat beefstakes and cherry. Plum is all what we eat. We cut plum in sandwiches which is not the best. There are tomatoes which tastes like pineapple.

Tomato Diva F1. You are now talking. You know that I said they bring nonsense to W.Africa. I never said the company is not good. It is, but what they bring to W.Agrica is nonsense as far as I am concerned like I mentioned earlier. Padma and Platinum are what they promote. But Roma is Roma. Diva is another improved Roma. I told you earlier that Roma has different forms these days. I dont even understand what they mean by lowland variety. Lol. Anyway, it is very likely it has zero resistance to bacteria wilt. Please, could you confirm this? And also find out if it has any form of resistance to yellow spots bacteria and blight (early and late). I doubt it sir. If it does not have any above there, and it's just with high yield, of what benefit is it to me that I will not choose ordinary Roma? Ok ....maybe it is sweeter. Yeah....maybe.

My brother, look at the bolded part. You want less water because it is not Roma that is sold in your place. Buy Roma VFN and return to give review. How can Roma be watery? Of course not. Those varieties there are not Roma. I know what I'm saying sir. Not everything from Hausa is Roma.

If Diva has tolerance to the diseases I mentioned above, I will give it a trial. But I doubt it sir.

It is time I stopped answering questions and faced my life. The ones i have dashed NL is enough.

Psalm4kute:

Very funny to hear this. In my place, we accept all type of food stuff. I remember when i brought an east west sturdy pawpaw fruit to the market. The fruit was not like the other ones they know. It could stay for more than a week before going bad and was super sweet. They just checked it by tasting it and that was all; everything was bought. I saw some pinkish mango normally sold in Malaysia here in the market and it was even trending last mango season. Another example is All yam types are accepted here unlike Lagos/PH/Warri.
It seems many parts of Nigeria are still behind in this behavior including the more advanced cities with mono-like culture dominating. I believe if i carry any brand tomato to this market, it will never be rejected.

Some tomato seedlings look very enticing especially those with Bacteria wilt resistances/TYLCV resistant/Tomato Mosaic/Fusarium wilt. I was even recommended to get one to test with over 120g weight from Sakata but other varieties like the Sakata Amiral/Emerald has shown a 140 tonne yield is possible per hectare.

Pistotita:

1. Getting seeds to South South is easy. There are many seeds we cross border to get to Cotonou or Togo to get from Lagos. Calarbar is sharing border with Caneroon. I have people there. My point is that we face the same challenge no matter where we live. I buy seeds from Kano, and what stops you from doing so? The challenge you have is not where to buy, but what to buy? When you know what to buy, and you can guess what you are getting from it, you will buy it..

2. State and FG departments/ministries: My opinion is that you can still learn from them. There are genius people there. Do not close your eyes completely. The challenge is that you must equip yourself too. When you.start speaking at a certain level, they listen and give you what you need. For example, I know many professors who speak with me. And my first encounter always makes the difference. They always want to talk to me after every first encounter. Let wisdom and knowledge come out from you, and they will start releasing deep secrets and connect you. My brother, Nigerians do not want to do much for themselves again. They just want to copy someone else. They will not listen to you. I know the kind of help I have got from FUNAAB, IITA, NIHORT, etc. These guys have links with professors abroad. I know what I have got bro. I got the managing director of Hazera'?s office in the US through a doctor in NIHORT. And that door that was opened was so magnificent.

3. Trials:
Buying 50 grams because you want to use 20 stands. My brother, I got to the stage that I bought 50 seeds for $500. Oh yeah! The package comes with what is more than $10,000 in terms of help and info. Most of my.serds that I dont use again, I gave them out on nairaland. Even till date, I still give out seeds. Someone got 1400 burpless cucumber seeds and I gave him 600 seeds extra. In addition I gave I gave him about 1,000 tomato seeds and 2,000 (not sure) sweet pepper seeds. That is over N100,000 I gave him. Why? I saw something in him. He is on NL.

My recommendation
Perfect a crop. Let that crop give you very good cash flow. Start getting reasonable income before you launch into it. If its cucumber you can perfect do it, and start making money. Use part of the money to develop yourself. This is my suggestion. I also started from slicing cukes. I grew Tokyo cukes from Technisem very well in those days.

Most seed companies do not sell in grams or oz these days. Except you want to buy in bulk. Or you are a regular customer.

I am learning a lot from u guys, hope 2 get 2 level where I can share advice on more veges like all d profs in d house!...dz excessive tomato talk is making me have second thoughts abt my pepper trials( make una no make me change mind o). ur recommendation is highly appreciated and considered. if u were to start all over again as a 'beginner', which vege would u begin with

Sometimes what works for one farmer may not work for you, I think hes just trying to be careful... you may find whatever he recommends to you as good tomatoes cultivar declined by your market... one thing I understand from him is, do not try to mimic any farmer,.. get advice from them, do your own research.. especially in the area of choosing your type of seed an manure.. so pls dont be angry, it's best you take this as an advice.. so many farmers fail trying to mimic what others did.. even on YouTube you'll see so many farmers giving diff kind of advice when cultivating tomatoes, it's best you research on your soil type.. try to know what its lacking, and research on the type of tomatoes widely accepted in your area before you dive in,

GOODLUCK..

I was not going to write anything again, but your comments are just the antidotes I needed against unjust attacks. That was someone I took my time to tell him the characteristics of murano, and what he needed to do, and he wrote that he went to market. If you read his comments, you will see that he confirmed everything I wrote.

My brother, how do I tell him to buy the seeds I am presently using that is even without name from a farm which cross pollinates? How do I ask him to pay DHL of around N40k (I did not write that but someone else wrote it that he was charged N37.7k which is 70% of his seed)? How do I explain to him that custom might call him and ask him pay tax and import duties? We read about the story of the lady who bought shoe and clothes and was slammed over N150k at muritala Mohammed airport for the goods of just over N300k. And the noise was on the internet. I dont sell seeds. Have I not written it many times that I do not patronise Nigerian importers again? Did I not write about my reasons? Yet I still try to answer their questions about imported seeds to Nigeria based on my experience. I have met very good Nigerians ooooo, but that kind of person and the other man are people yo avoid.

Bros, I clearly gave out 7 outstanding cultivars I used last time and I explained the reasons in the links. I guess he did not open them. The real point is that, he wants me to still tell him seeds to buy in Nigeria, but some in that link can be sourced here. And the next question is: where can I buy? And then how much? I do not promote any seller. I dont do it. I do not want to. "If you need such info, contact me privately via email". I do not know how many times I am going to repeat that.

Still, I answer questions. Honestly, that man needs wisdom. And both of them feel I am obliged to answer their questions. Lol. If they feel uncomfortable with my epistles, why read them? They always criticise; yet, they are the first to read every new post of mine. Honestly, knowledge is King. And I gave them the way to gain knowledge, but they always refuse it. Yes na. They will always be begging people for help because they lack the capacity to study. They do not even want to try to study at all. Photocopy no easy oooo.

Bros, I dont want to detail this thread. Please, leave them alone.

If that man you replied does not want to learn by himself, that is his cup of tea. I read where he was asking for investors. Goodluck to anyone who invests in such person. Lol. It is real GOODLUCK.

I was even recommended to get one to test with over 120g weight from Sakata but other varieties like the Sakata Amiral/Emerald has shown a 140 tonne yield is possible per hectare.

There are many cultivars in this group. I explained explicitly why I chose these set of cultivars I use nowadays. I know about Amiral and Emerald. There are issues you must know. Do not listen to most reviews. Please, do not take Facebook reviews ooooo. Emerald and Amiral are 80 - max of 100g. If you do not feed them well, you will get 50g fruits or less. Of course, you can get 120g. How? If you prune, but at initial harvest. So, the farmers tricked you. They picked the initial harvest after prunning. What about the fruit weight later on?

Here is a line of thought for you: The population of these cultivars on 1 ha is 30,000. How can you easily and continuously prune 30,000 plants? These cultivars are not better than Diva of EastWest. Trust me on this. All those cultivars with 120 to 150 tons yields are gimmicks. Any cultivar which can produce 80 tons can go over to 150tons. How? If the harvest is prolonged. But let me tell you the truth. Most 30,000 population are for fast harvests done with tractors or harvesters. Most Romas are like that. So, the possibility of any Roma or 30,000 per ha to have prolonged harvest is slim.

I read where someone took after my old posts and concept that fast crops should be used. Of course, that was when I was not that good with fighting some bad diseases. The fellow took after my old concept of determinate over indeterminate. Well, it was a wonderful concept I used successfully, but its obsolete to me right now. I may return to it again; but it depends on what I am dealing with.

Bro, you think like me. And I almost settled for these two cultivars. Lol. Why did I not settle for them? I have explained it on my thread. And I will quickly write a summary here again. So that lazy people will not say I am referring them to somewhere else. But I know if I refer you, you will pull more info out. That is the kind of brain you are bro. BROS...Tuale! My hands are up. You are a brain.

The importance of Financial Plan
I always write financial plan for even my pilots. Look at the following:

------30,000 plants Vs 10,000 plants on 1 ha ------
How many sticks do you need for staking the two option?
What is the length of binding wire?
How many ropes?
How much manure or fertilizer?
How long is the drip?
What is the volume of water needed for irrigation?
What is the total liters of gas needed to power the irrigation system?
What is the cost of labor handling 30,000 va 10,000

Hmmmmmmm!

When you consider the above questions, you are going to realise that 30,000 per ha cultivars are for commercial farmers with tractors. Every activity is with machine. Lol. And you will realise that it is cheaper to buy more expensive seeds with less than 20,000 plants per ha.

The choice is yours to make sir. Again, respect!

Even sir okoroemeka and other professional farmers sharing their experiences on farming for free without demanding for any form of payment has been criticised in this thread, that's just what we are HUMANS

Not everyone will appreciate you..most people complain about reading your epistles .. but I like reading them, because a good listener will always want to learn new things.. mr ogbongenet is the reason why I have decided to start my pepper farm this month... I also saw your thread on tomatoes and cucumber farming which I'll also like to try after I have mastered the art of pepper cultivation

I've come to understand that

1) your location
2) seed
3) soil type
4) fertiliser

Are the four main important aspect of a successful vegetable farm.. if I cant get this four elements right, then I'm already planning to fail, so for this very reason I've stopped asking farmers what fertiliser they use for their plant... infact if I cant determine the nutrient which are excess and those that are lacking in my farmland I'd rather use dry compost manure and organic foliar fertiliser than use chemical fertiliser in my farm .. this is an advice I got from your post and from other farmers on YouTube,

So what I'm trying to say is.. this is an input I got from you and other farmers which I follow their work on YouTube

So never should you feel your inputs are not valid, there are others who find it helpful at the time of need..

And we're all humans we'll always complain about what we dont like or who we dont agree with... so kindly take every negative response as a part an parcel of life and continue to do what you do, as it is highly appreciated

To understand pistotita and his teachings is like facing a compulsory further maths exam,

you go read tire but wont understand any thing,

the thing is that he likes to research but forgoting that not everyone has that time,

it does not mean you are the wisest of all, will make you successfull than others,

some people does their planting the normal way and gets it done without much issues,

it does not matter we need to copy so we can be like pistotito,

to me he is only saying we should go research on stuffs ourselves and stop depending on others,

but its better pistotita you keep it simple and easy so we your listeners can grab one or two,

not everyone is as educated like you abeg,

anyways i still love pistotita for his hardworks and contributions to this agricultural threads,

you are really making a difference

Pls don't mind them. Continue ur epistle. Some people want simple and direct answers, not knowing that without some other info, the answer may not benefit them. E.g. Someone may ask you which seed to plant. They may expect u to tell them some specific seeds without knowing that other info like yield, disease resistance, plant population etc are also important to help them make the right decision. What is good for one farmer may not be good for another.

@Pistotita I used to be irritated at your long epistles, but when I realised it was naturally who you were, I started reading with attention and what I have observed so far is that you have a passion for Agriculture from crops to poultry,and that you have a keen interest for new better methods and love searching for them and you want other farmers to follow suit and not rely on old methods, in the long epistles you make there is always something to learn always if the person reading will just read carefully. I have come to love reading your post and the humour they come with some times and earnestly anticipate them when a question is asked. DONT BE DETERRED

Everyone has his/her preference. One issue about murano is that no matter how downy mildew bombard it, you see it still struggling. And its fruits are longer. Tokyo is with higher DM resistance according to them, which I think so too. But murano still produces more..Murano is a beast in terms of female flowers production. Murano has the same flowering pattern with Monalisa of East West. And you can never compare the two. I personally prefer Murano any day, anytime, anywhere. But I know quite a number of experienced farmers who prefer Tokyo. Also, murano fills bag will lesser fruits than all of them with the exception of Cu999.

My brother, both are ok in my opinion. But you may benefit more from Murano. See, the earlier you go to market and the more bags you have, the better it is for you. Murano is 40 days while Tokyo is 55 days. Murano is 400 - 450g fruit, while Tokyo is 380 - 400 g fruits. If you get 450g Tokyo? It is going to be yellow and fat. I'm.tslking from experience. Put this info o table and meditate on it.
1. If you think your plants will stay long enough on farm, and you gat downy mildew under control, Tokyo is a very good one. It can continue producing for many weeks. And you cultivate do murano too. In fact, you will harvest and get tired with murano.

2. If you know that you are really in hurry to go to market fast and you want more bags from each harvest, but you can fight DM very well, go for Murano..

3. If you know that DM is crazy, and it comes very early in your previous production in the same location you want to use, go for murano if you cannot control it. Why? Despite Tokyo has higher resistance, you would have gone to market two times before you start going to market with Tokyo.

4. If DM comes late, go for Tokyo do you can have prolonged harvest which will give you more yield.

I have tested most of these cultivars and I can tell you the difference.

Bless you bro.
