Ku Nonisa

Ku nonisiwa rosungula swi endliwa loko kungase byariwa eka misava yale henhla ya laha kungata byariwa kona. Kuya hi mbuyelo wa vku hleriwa ka misava xikanwe nale xikarhi ka 600 kg hi hectare ya 2:3:4 (30) yinga endliwa. Leswi swiva swirikona eka swimilani hinkarhi walowo naswona swita hlohletela kukula ko sungula xikan’we naku mila ka timintsu. Kwalomu ka 4 wa mavhiki endzhaku ko byala loko swimilani switshamisekile naswona swikula kahle endzhaku ka ku cheriwa ravumbirhi ka 350 kg hi hectare ya 2:3:4 (30) yinga haxiwa eka mintila ya swimilani kutani swi hlantsweriwa endzeni hikokwalaho ka ncheleto.
Ku cheriwa ravunharhu ka Nitrogen swinga endliwa loko ku kula ka swimilani swiri xiphiqo naswona yilaveka. Kwalomu ka 250 kuya eka 400 kg hi hectare ya LAN (28) hi xitalo yiva yi lulamerile. Leyi ringanaka hi manyoro lawa yanga katsiwa na mati hiku tirhisa ncheleto wa drip nawona yanga cheriwa loko macheletelo lawa ya drip ya vekeriwile.

Ncheleto

Exikarhi ka 30 mm na 40 mm wa ncheleto eka nguva hinkwayo yakukula swifanele kuva swiringanerile. Leswi swifanele ku engeteriwa kuya hi xiyimo xa maxelo. Swikahle swinene ku cheleta hi drip tani hileswi swisiyaka matluka yaomile naku hanya kahle naswona kuva mati yah aha swile hansi swinene. Manyoro lawa ya cheriwaka hiku kongoma eka timintsu nawona ya tirha kahle swinene.
Nhlayiso wufanele wuva kona leswaku kunga cheletiwi ngopfu tani hileswi ti gem squash ti chavaka mavabyi yatimintsu loko kutele mati laha hansi.
