Igama Lesayensi: Apium graveolens
Igama elivamile: Isilimo esidliwayo esinamagatsha anamanzi, isobho esidliwayo esinamagatsha anamanzi noma isiliva.

Incazelo Yesitshalo

Isilimo esidliwayo esinamagatsha anamanzi singowomndeni we-Apiaceae futhi sihlobene ne-parsley, i-parsnips, i-coriander ne-izaqathe. Ivela esifundeni saseMedithera. Kuyinto isitshalo biennial kodwa ukukhiqizwa fresh it is itshalwe futhi kuvuna njengoba ngonyaka. Lesi sitshalo sivela esihlalweni se-bulbous noma senhliziyo emhlabathini ophansi kuze kube seqenjini lama-stalks noma ama-petioles esitshalo esiphela ngesihlahla samaqabunga amahle amancane.
Ama-petioles noma ama-stalks amaqabunga ayengxenye enkulu edlalwa yisilimo esidliwayo esinamagatsha anamanzi. Izitshalo ze-celery zivunwa ngokuvamile uma ziphakeme cishe ngo-40 kuya ku-50 cm. Uhlelo lwesimiso se-celery lwenziwe nge-taproot enezimpande ezinhle kakhulu ezinamathempi angu-20 cm ngezansi. Ngokujwayelekile kuveza izimbali nezimbewu zalo ngonyaka wesibili.

Ukusetshenziswa

Isilimo esidliwayo esinamagatsha anamanzi sisetshenziselwa ukunambitheka ezinsikeni nasezinhlakeni. Kudliwa futhi okuluhlaza futhi kumasaladi noma kuphekwe njengemifino. Isitshalo sesilimo esidliwayo esinamagatsha anamanzi asinamavithamini amaningi noma izakhi ezinomzimba futhi aphansi kuma-carbohydrate. Ngokuyinhloko iqukethe i-fiber namanzi ngakho-ke abantu bayathanda ukulahlekelwa isisindo.
Imbewu yesithombo esidliwayo esinamagatsha anamanzi ayinhlabathi futhi isetshenziswe usawoti futhi iqukethe amafutha asetshenziselwa amafutha kanye nomuthi, okusiza ekwehleni i-uric acid egazini ukwelashwa kwe-gout, i-arthritis ne-rheumatism.

Izidingo Zomhlabathi Nokulungiselela

Isilimo esidliwayo esinamagatsha anamanzi senza kahle kakhulu emanzini ahlanzekile, enhlabathini enesihlabathi anezinto ezanele eziphilayo zokugcina umswakama nokugcina izakhi. Kudinga inhlabathi encane ye-asidi nge-pH ka-6.0 kuya ku-6.5.
Amaviki ayisithupha ngaphambi kokutshala, ukulima nokuvutha indawo okumele itshalwe kuyo okungenani 500 mm. Ngalesi sikhathi faka i-lime uma kudingeka noma nanoma imuphi umquba, umquba, i-gypsum ne-superphosphates. Uma isitshalo sekhava eluhlaza sasihlwanyelwe ngaphambilini, lokhu kunqunywe futhi kuhlonywe emhlabathini ngesikhathi esisodwa.
Ngesonto elilodwa ngaphambi kokutshala isilimo esidliwayo esinamagatsha anamanzi, balima umhlaba kanye ne-disk harrow ukuze uhlele futhi ulungise indawo. Lokhu kususa nanoma yikuphi ukhula olubamba. Imibhede yembewu kufanele ihlanzeke futhi ikhululekile ngaphandle kwama-clods enhlabathi noma noma yikuphi ukhula olunezinyosi noma izitshalo ezitshalweni ezizokwenza ukuthuthukiswa kwezimpande.

Isimo Sezulu

Isilimo esidliwayo esinamagatsha anamanzi sidinga isimo sezulu esitholile ngaphandle kwamaqhwa futhi namazinga okushisa ama-15°C kuya ku-24°C. Uma kunezikhathi ezithe xaxa zamazinga okushisa angaphezu kwama-25°C phakathi nenkathi yokukhula yenza isilimo esidliwayo esinamagatsha anamanzi sibaba futhi sibe nesibindi.

Izinhlobo
