Kushintja titjalo

iBrinjal kufanele ishintjane nalesinye sihlahla lesingafani naso (lesingekho kumndeni munye) kuvikela kwakheka kwetilwanyana netifo.

Sivuno (bunyenti kuli hecta)

Lokungekho kunyenti: 12 tonnes
Lokusemkhatsini: 20 tonnes
Lokuhle: kundlula ku 30 tonnes
Balimi labajuba kancane letihlahla emuva kwekusheshe uvune etindzaweni letinelizinga lekushisa lalapho sekuta busika khona bangatfola kuvuna kabili loku kwenta sivuno sindlule ku 40 tonnes kuli hecta.

Kuvuna

Kuvuna kucala emavikini lalishumi kusukela kuhlanyelwe kungacubeka etinyangeni letinyenti. Sitselo sivunwa kusebentiswe umese noma lisikela. Uma umbala walesitselo ufana nesikhumba simanyatela, sesikhatsi sekucala kuvuna. Kucubeka ukhe kungenta titselo tiphindze tikhule futsi titselo letingakavutfwa tisheshe tivutfwe. Titselo tingawashwa emantini tomiswe bese tifakwa emakasini kutsi tiyokhangiswa. Kufanele unakekele kutsi ungalimati sikhumba, ngoba loku kungenta letitselo letivuniwe kutsi tibole.

Kutibeka

Brinjal kufanelwe ibekwe ingandluli emalangeni langu 14 endzaweni lengu 100C. iBrinjal isheshe imoshakale, kufanele titsengiswe masinyane emuva kwekuvuna.

Tilwanyana netifo

Tilwanyana letiyinkinga: Root-knot Nematodes, Red spider mite, Cutworm, American bollworm, Tip-wilters, leaf-eating beetles, and Aphids.
Tifo letiyinkinga: Bacterial wilt, Verticillium wilt, Powdery mildew, Anthracnose and other fungal leafspot diseases, Tobaco Ring Spot Virus and Botrytis.
Kute tifo netilwanyana utincobe khulumisana nemuntfu lophetse imitsi letibulalako kute utfole Lusito kahle kulwisana netilwanyakatane kanye netifo.
