How shade net increased the yield of a farmer by 50%
Hauwa (not real name) has been a tomato farmer for over 15 years. She hardly gets 2 tonnes per hectare in her tomato farm due to hey poor growing skills.
She contacted Veggie Grow Limited and we found out that her tomato plants’ often abort a lot of their flowers and fruits due to the high temperature in her location.
We advised her to construct a shade net with drip irrigation installed in it. She obliged our recommendation. After implementing our recommendation, Hauwa increased her tomato yield per hectare to 40 tonnes. Shade net, drip irrigation and fertigation played a huge role in this successful feat.
