Ukutjintjwa Kweentjalo

I-Brinjal kufanele itjhugululwe ngokobana kutjalwe esinye isitjalo esifana ne-solanaceous (iintjalo ezingafuni umthunzi webusuku) ukuvikela ukwakhela kweenunwana kanye namalwelwe.

Umkhiqizo (itoni ihectare ngayinye)

Esingatjhugulukiko: ngesimatani ayi-12
Esilingeneko: ngesimatani ayi-20
Esihle: ngesimatani ayi-30
Abatjali abasika iintjalo ngemva kokuvuna eendaweni ezinobujamo bezulu obutjhisako etwasahlobo bangathola iimvuno ezimbili ngonyaka lokhu kungasunduza imikhiqizo yabo ifike ematanini adlula ayi-40 ihectare ngayinye.

Ukuvuna

Ukuvuna kuthoma ngemva kwemveke ezilisumu ngemva kokutjala begodu kungaragela phambili iinyanga ezine ngemva kwalokho. Iinthelo zivunwa ngemikhwa nanyana ngeenkero. Lokha isithelo sele sinombala koke, iskhumba saso sithoma ukuphazima sele kusikhathi sokusivuna. Ukuragela phambili ngokukha isithelo, kugcugcuzela isithelo bona sivuthwe msinya. Isithelo singahlanzwa emanzini esikotleleni, sonyiswe kuma-conveyors bese zipakwa ematreyidini lokha nasiyokuthengiswa. Kufanele kutlhogonyelwe bona kungoniwa iskhumba ngombana lokho kugcugcuzela bona iinthelo zonakale ngemva kokuvunwa.

Ukuphathwa Kwayo

I-Brinjal kufanele ibekwe amalanga angaba-14 kuma-10°C, ebumsweni obuphezulu. I-Brinjal sitjalo esibola msinya njeke kufale ithengiswe msinya ngendlela okungakghoneka ngayo ngemva kokuvunwa.

Iinunwana kanye Namalwelwe

Iinunwanana ezikulu: ezifana namabeetles adla amakari, kanye ne-Aphids. Umkhaza osiswebu esibombu, i-cutworm, Cutworm, American bollworm, Tip-wilters.

Amalwelwe Amakhulu

Bacterial wilt, Verticillium wilt, Powdery mildew, Anthracnose and other fungal leafspot diseases, Tobaco Ring Spot Virus and Botrytis.
Ukulawula amalwelwe kanye neenunwana uyelelwisa bona uthinte abantu abathengisa amakhemikhali kanye nama-extension officer kobana bazokukwenzela i-program yamambala yokuvikela amasimu wakho.
