OluchiDelly:I cut lowest leaf of about 100 stand when they are still young, the result is at least four branches which later turn bushy ( I can bearly walk through those row) I stop it immediately I noticed it. |

Farmerakinloye6:True....The tomato root disease was a hindrance. |
Farmerakinloye6(m): 9:30pm On Jun 05, 2020 |
This are the disease I know that affect TOMATO and the deadly one is fungi. 1. Curling leaf,it not that dangerous,I think it is cause by too much heat and a way TOMATO can preserve water. 2.turning too small and discontinue to grow. 3.namatode which attack the root and kill the whole stand, it can be prevent by treating the soil before transplanting. 4. Fungi, the deadly one, it can not be cure but manage. This are the way I think you can manage it,cut the leaf that are touching ground, spray fungicide at Least once in a week and anytime Rain Fall, and one effective chemical I strongly suggest you should have before going into commercial tomato farming is ORTIVA TOP ( #10000) you will be alternateing it with saaf and any insecticide. 5.If you are planting high breed and you don't stake your TOMATO be sure you have invite the fight, failure and fungi, rodent,bird.. smile. Once your tomato leaf is turning to purple no for sure it is stress and can't reach it full potential. Farmer in the house ,pls add your own and let make Nigeria Great!

Farmerakinloye6:Look for varieties that favour the climatic conditions as at the time of planting! Some disease resistance are dry/wet season dependent, so I repeat, look for cultivars that favour the season you are in and the part of the country at the time of cultivation 3 Likes |

5k is it not small for that big crate or the price is still manageable

Farmerakinloye6: How much in total were you able to make? Did you make enough profit to compensate for the effort and resources invested? |
Farmerakinloye6(m): 4:21pm On Jun 07, 2020 |
Reality1015:even if the crate is sold at 3k there will still be a meaningful profit. Almost 3 crate is one basket..do the math |
