Ubuncani Bokulimab

Minimum tillage results in a larger development of soil microbes in the undisturbed sub-layers of the soil than in a vineyard where vineyard rows have been cleaned. Here, cover crops are planted to reduce moisture loss and increase organic matter in the soil.
Eminyakeni embalwa, begade kunokwenzeka kokulima okungasikukhulu emasimini wamaderibe. Ubuncani bokulimokhu akuthikazisi ihlabathi ngokwenziwa kwemaplasini okukhulu. Lokhu kungatjho bonyana indawo yoke yalapho kutjalwe khona iintjalo zokubamba ihlabathi iyafufuzelwa ilaliswe ngaphambi kokutlhurha. Ubuncani bokulimokhu kuhlathulula bonyana akunakulima ngokusebenzisa imitjhini ekuzakusetjenziswa ngaphasi kwemithi le kanye nahlangana nemithi, nofana kusetjenziswa kwaphela isisetjenziswa sokuphungula ihlathi ukususa iimilo ezizimileleko nezingafunekiko.
Ukulawula iimilo zomangwezi ngamakhemikhali kungasetjenziselwa ukujamisela ukusebenzisa imitjhini yokususwa kweemilo zomango nofana iitjalo ezitjalelwe ukubamba ihlabathi. Irhubhululo lifumene bonyana ubuncani bokulimokhu kurholela ekuthuthukeni okukhulu kwama-microbes wehlabathi endaweni engakathikaziswa nofana engakarhujwa yehlabathi ukudlula emasimi wamaderibe lapho amareyi wakhona ahlwengiswe khona. Klufunyenwe nokobanyana ukusetjenziswa kwamanzana wokubulala iitjalo kubumba ukubuthelelana kwamakari begodu kulwisana nokutshwayeleka kobulwele behlabathini obubizwa nge-fungi.
