[@nganeelvis6243]

To choose a variety first, soil type, temperature at your area, rain fall, with loose soil you need a highly vegetative variety and with less permiable soil (soil that hold alot of water you need a less vegetative variety.

There are different starter solutions. We regularly use balanced NPK 15:15:15.

[@ERICKKUMARI]

@@bennyexpi it's importance to read the manual and understand the dosage before applying! Most of starter solution recommend 200-250 g /20 L of water!

Hi Eric am asking how much capital do you need for an acre of tomatoes

[@ERICKKUMARI]

With medium yield, you spend roughly Tsh 4M. It can be more or less depends your location!

[@nganeelvis6243]

[@ERICKKUMARI]

Absolutely!

[@rehobothassembly3955]

Eric im having challenges in my soil with white mold (sclerotinia fungi) killing every vegetable i plant. all fungicides i use not working😢

[@ERICKKUMARI]

I recommend soil solarization, using soilless media for seed nurturing, or employing grow bags. Additionally, opt for resistant varieties and prioritize sanitation by keeping your farm clean and avoiding the accumulation of leaves or other debris in the field.

[@nganeelvis6243]

Try another variety
