Ebola tomatoes

Katsina farmers get remedy for tomato ebola

Farmers in their tomato farm at Dantankari in Katsina State at the weekend
Tomato farmers in Dantankari, Katsina State, say they have gotten a remedy for the dreaded tomato disease known as tuta absoluta, locally known as ‘tomato ebola’ that ravaged farms in the state and many others in the last two irrigation seasons.
Daily Trust had in June 2015 reported how tomato production in the country was severely hit by an outbreak of disease that left many farms devastated across the major producing states, Katsina inclusive.
Consequently, the Minister of Science and Technology, Dr Ogbonnaya Onu, last year, announced the development of an unnamed new pesticide by the National Research Institute for Chemical Technology (NARICT), Zaria, to fight the disease.
A tomato farmer in Dantankari, Malam Hamza Liman Gambo, said though they were yet to come across the new pesticide said to have been developed by NARICT, they have found a reliable solution that mitigated the damage done by tuta absoluta on tomato farms.
“With the discovery of Ampligo 150ZC last year, our major problem of tomato ‘ebola’ was now brought to the barest minimum. The rate at which tomato farmers lost millions of naira here two years ago is greatly reduced though the number of farmers in the area also dropped due to the fear of the disease and the low price experienced last year,’’ he said.
He added that before the development of Ampligo, farmers tried all sorts of pesticides but in vain. Even with the discovery of Ampligo in 2016, many of the irrigation farmers were skeptical about its efficiency until recently when every farmer was scouting for the pesticide due to its effective action on tuta absoluta.
Malam Nasiru Dantankari, who in 2015 lost about N2,000,000 after his three tomato farms were completely destroyed by the disease, said they now heaved a sigh of relief after finding a solution to the destructive disease.

 “Unlike in the past when ‘ebola’ attacked and destroyed large tomato farms within two to five days, this year with adequate watering and application of Ampligo, the disease was degraded to the barest level, enabling farmers to harvest the produce with a high yield and a basket costing N3,000 in the farms,’’ he said.
He added that this year, only few farmers were seriously affected by the disease obviously for their lack of early assessment of the threat. 
He further explained how the withdrawal of some farmers from tomato cultivation over the fear of pest attack, led to more than adequate water for irrigation this year.
Alhaji Adamu Abdullahi, an irrigation farmer who is the main source of the Ampligo pesticide for farmers in Dantankari and Danja areas, told this reporter that he sourced the pesticide from Syngenta Nigeria Ltd in Kano.
“Dangote Tomato Company linked us with Syngenta Nigeria Ltd early last year and they promised to supply us with efficient solution for the tuta absoluta but because there was no adequate advertisement and market supply of the Ampligo solution, many tomato farmers are yet to discover it. But I am supplying the product to irrigation farmers in Dantankari, Dandume LGA and Danja LGA at the rate of N2,000 per can, which can be used twice on 20 litre spray in a farm,” he said.
Ampligo 150ZC is an insecticide for use on vegetables and other field crops with the composition of 100g/L - Chlorantraniliprole+ and 50g/L - Lambda Cyhalothrin. It is manufactured by Syngenta crop protection AG, Basle, Switzerland and distributed by Syngenta Nigeria Ltd.

Dozens feared trapped in Jharkhand coal mine collapse


At least eight workers were killed and scores more feared trapped on Friday after a massive mound of earth caved in at a coal mine in eastern India.

The collapse buried at least 23 miners and dozens of vehicles under the debris as hundreds of emergency workers battled overnight to rescue the men at the Lalmatia open cast mine in Jharkhand state’s Godda district.

“So far eight dead bodies have been recovered and 15 more remain unaccounted for,” RK Mallick, Jharkhand police spokesman, told AFP.
Some of the workers had escaped the disaster site following the collapse, the officer said, with  unconfirmed media reports putting the number of trapped at 50.

Local police and emergency staff were using earth movers and sniffer dogs to locate the trapped workers under tons of earth.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed his grief on Twitter, promising to help the state government in its rescue operations.
“Saddened by the loss of lives at a mine in Jharkhand. My prayers are with those trapped inside,” he said.

The National Disaster Management Authority dispatched more than 200 rescue workers to the site.

The mine is operated by the government-owned Eastern Coalfields Limited. Its top official, Niladri Roy, told AFP that more than 250 metres (820 feet) of the mine collapsed as workers headed towards the exit around 7:30 pm Thursday.


There was no immediate explanation for the collapse.

In a separate incident on Thursday, four miners were injured at a government-run coal mine in Jharkhand’s Dhanbad district.

A mine official said the workers were hit after the roof of the Putki Balihari coal mine partially collapsed. Two of the workers were critically injured.

Jharkhand is one of the richest mineral zones in India, accounting for around 29 percent of the country’s coal deposits. However it is also one of India’s poorest areas and the epicentre of a Maoist insurgency.

India has maintained a relatively safe record in mining-related accidents compared to neighbour China, which on average reports around 1,000 fatalities every year.

In 2015, India recorded 38 deaths across 570 mining sites.

The last major mining accident in India occurred in 1975, when 372 workers were killed following the flooding of Chasnala mine in Dhanbad.

Chinese club offer Real Madrid £250m for Ronaldo


Real Madrid were offered about £250 million (about N125 billion) by an unnamed Chinese club for Cristiano Ronaldo, according to the Portuguese player’s agent Jorge Mendes.


He however said the 31-year-old forward had no interest in the deal, which included an £85m (about N42bn) annual salary.

“From China, they’ve offered 300m euros (£257m) to Real Madrid and more than 100m euros per year to the player.

“But money is not everything. The Spanish club [Real] is his life.’’

The revelation comes after Carlos Tevez was reportedly made the world’s highest-paid footballer by Shanghai Shenua.

Shanghai, coached by ex-Brighton boss Gus Poyet, are reported to have agreed a deal worth £40m (about N20bn) for Tevez, including a salary in excess of £310,000 (about N155m) a week.

Under the offer claimed by Mendes, Ronaldo would have earned £1.6m (about N800m) a week.

It would have been a deal worth almost treble the world record transfer fee of £89m paid by Manchester United to Juventus for midfielder Paul Pogba.

“The Chinese market is a new market. They can buy a lot of players, but then again it is impossible to go for Ronaldo.

“Cristiano is the best player in the world and best ever. It is normal to have some offers,” said Mendes.

The Portugal captain said he could play for another 10 years after signing a new deal, which ties him to Madrid until June 2021, last month.
