Tituxy:

So nothing to be worried about, sir?
I was worrying about the yield..

nothing to worry about.

ataobe24:
Is it rain fed u want to do

it always takes two heavy rain before I can be certain my water source will not dry and be sufficient.

Jaywrld:

Pls I want to ask my tomato seedlings are three weeks already in the nursery but I don't have time to plant it till on the 20th will it still be okay by then it would have more than a month in nursery

do everything possible to plant it ASAP. Make sure the hole is deep when you want to plant. IT WILL BE TOO LATE THOUGH!

Is it gamhar rz you cultivated?
If not then why? its also a determinate tomato meant for open field with a good yield and resistance to various diseases

Pls how long does tomato plants takes to start flowering after transplanting assuming it has four sets of leaves already

Pls 🙏 reply

Unless you know how to handle BW, which most here don't know how to, you're basically throwing your money away doing Gamhar in Open field.

Pls expatiate on this BW thing.

Which hybrid variety do you recommend then

Gamhar rz f1 has a strong resistance to fusarium and verticilium wilt
Is bacterial wilt any different

Very very different. Bacterial Wilt when checking for resistance is represented by the "BW/Rs" abbreviation which Fusarium Wilt is usually "F / Fol" and Verticillium Wilt "V/Va". Even the Seedforth Agro guys will tell you is has zero resistance to Bacterial Wilt if you ask.

If you plant in open field here in the SW without knowing how to handle that, I can guarantee that you'll easily lose 50% or more depending on the level of infestation in your soil.

That said, Gamhar and Jarrah are my favorite tomato cultivars.

You can try Platinum or Rambo if you're a newbie. They have solid resistance and good yield. But if you know how to handle BW and have good management and nutrition, gamhar and jarrah will double their yield.

Interesting! What's a better way to handle bacterial wilt in tomatoes

Pls enlighten me on how to manage the bacterial wilt i have gamhar currently on the field

How do I manage bacterial wilt pls 🙏

Get a resistant variety or graft with a resistant rootstock.

Is Pa resistant to bacterial wilt too
Between Pa,cobra, platinum and Rambo which one has bigger fruits and more productive thanks 👍

I would be happy to know if I can get a good production from those resistant varieties
Getting a good yield is what got me into this Seedforth and rz shit

When it comes to yield, Garmah and Jarrah are head and shoulders above the rest and it's not even close but like I said, you need it be able to handle BW to do RZ tomatoes.

In of yield I'll take Rambo over Platinum and Platinum over Pa. I've never planted Cobra. And yes Pa is resistant to BW

Thank you for the reply
Pls what's the average yield per Rambo f1 plants and where can I get the seeds in abeokuta
Also is it worth doing gamhar on the open field even if I can manage it

If you can handle Gamhar, its the best. As for Rambo, if you're good you can get 2kg per plant.
Sorry, I dont know where you can get in Abeokuta but you can definitely check online for that.

Pls 🙏 just tell me how I can handle the bacterial wilt disease in gamhar rz
I transplanted them last week and ive been checking for signs of wilting there have been none so far

Pls 🙏 enlighten me on the managerial practices it woild be nice to learn from someone like you considering you farm the same cultivar in the same region as me

I need to know how to manage my crops come the bacterial wilt, so as to not lose my investment

Pls 🙏 how do I manage the bacterial wilt on gamhar in open field and what is the yield per plant
Internet says it's 4kg per plant but I will like to hear it from you
Thanks 👍

Less than 2k stands

1. Biological method. This involves the use of beneficial microorganisms to control/prevent disease in your farm. You can get them online under diff trademarks. I learnt this from emmaachile.

2.chemical method.
a. Treating your soil with copper based fungicide can also suppress BW
b. Treating your soil with velum prime.

3. Conventional method.
a. Raising your soil pH by applying agricultural lime can suppress their activity
b. Adding organic matters to your soil can also minimize their effects.
c. Prevent waterlogging/flooding by creating avenue for free flow of erosion during rainfall. Sometimes, I deliberately cut my ridges in area proned to waterlogging for water to waka .

Thank you very much for the info

Grafting with a resistant rootstock that's the only sure way to grant you 99% success anything else and you're playing with fire (speaking from experience). Other methods (Copper, Biological, Ph) you can try with cultivars that have some level of resistance but with RZ seeds that have zero resistance, if you aren't grafting, you're basically playing Russian Roulette with your investment.

To graft, you need to know how to get the right rootstock and the technical know-how to graft.

Is the rootstock expensive and how do I get it
