Ithanga Nosolozi
Green and orange pumpkins.
Igama lesayensi: Cucurbit Maxima
Igama elivamile: I-squash ne-squash Hubbard
Incazelo Yesitshalo
Ithanga ne-Hubbard Squash ziyizicucu zombili noma ama-cultivars. Izitshalo zingaba yi-bush-like, noma ezimweni eziningi zingumvini olandelanayo owela emhlabathini. Izitshalo ze-pumpkin ne-Hubbard zithwala izimbali zombili zesilisa nezesifazane. Amapumpu angahlukaniswa izinhlobo zesikhumba se-orange, ezimhlophe noma ezimpunga. I-Hubbard iningi kodwa iningi ethandwa kakhulu yizinhlobonhlobo zembala eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka nohlaza. Kunezinhlobonhlobo ezinkulu nezinhlobo ezintsha zezingane ezikhulile ekuthandeni.
Ukusetshenziswa
I-pumpkin ne-squash Hubbard bobabili basetshenziselwa ukupheka futhi babilisiwe, bathambile, bagosiwe noma bathosiwe. Zingenziwa zihlanzekile futhi zenziwe isobho, ezisetshenziselwa ama-pie noma zigcinwe. Lezi zitshalo ziwumthombo omuhle we-beta-carotene, i-Vitamin A ne-Potassium. Imbewu iphezulu ku-Zinc futhi ingasetshenziswa ngesinkwa, ama-saladi noma idliwe njengoba kunjalo.
Amapumpu kanye ne-squash zihlinzeka ngokudla okuhle kwezilwane, njengoba ngezinye izikhathi abalimi basebenzisa ingxenye yalesi sitshalo, akufanelekile ukudayiswa, ngokudla kwezilwane.
Izidingo Zomhlabathi Nokulungiselela
Umhlabathi onesihlabathi owuhle kakhulu. Umhlabathi kumele ugcobe kahle futhi kufanele ube nokuqukethwe okuphezulu kokuqukethwe kwendaba. I-pH yenhlabathi kufanele ibe phakathi kuka-6 no-7.
Uma kutshalwa isitshalo sekhava eluhlaza okwenziwe ngezinto eziphilayo, lokhu kufanele kwenziwe cishe amasonto angu-12 kuya kwangu-16 ngaphambi kokutshala, ngesikhathi lapho kusetshenzwa khona izinsalela zokukhula kwezitshalo kanye nokhula. I-Disc plow surface kuya ezingeni emva kokulima emaqenjini ezitshalo.
Hlwanyela imbewu yezitshalo zokuvuna bese uhluma embewu ngqo emva kwalokhu. Lokhu kuvame ukwenza ngaphambi kokushisa kwebusika ukuze unikeze isikhathi sokutshala isivuno ukuze sizenzele. Ukuze kukhuliswe ukwanda kwezitshalo, kuphakanyiswa ukwenza isicelo se-nitrogen cishe ngamakhilogremu angu-150 e-LAN (28) ngehektare ngemuva nje kokuthi sesungulwe futhi siphezulu ngo-10 cm.
Emasontweni angaba yishumi ngaphambi kokutshala, funda inhlabathi. Emasontweni amahlanu kuya kwayisithupha kusukela ekutshaleni ukusika isivuno sekhava bese usebenzisa izakhi ezingahle zidingeke emiphumeleni yokuhlolwa kwenhlabathi. Lokhu kungaba yi-Gypsum, i-lime ye-pH noma i-superphosphates. Ngalesi sikhathi faka izinto eziphilayo ezinjengomquba noma ama-composts, uma kudingeka. Landela lokhu ngokulima inhlabathi kuze kube ngu-500 mm ukuxuba kuzo zonke izinto.
Ngesonto elilodwa ngaphambi kokutshala sebenzisa umquba wokutshala isitshalo ngaphambi kokutshala kanye ne-disk ukuze ube semhlabathini ophezulu ka-20 cm bese ulungisa umbhede wokugcina wokutshala imbewu noma izithombo.
Isimo Sezulu
Iphunga ne-sikwashi kuhamba phambili emazingeni afudumele namazinga okushisa afanele phakathi kuka-20°C no-30°C ngesikhathi sokukhula. Ukushisa komhlabathi kumele okungenani kube yi-18°C ukuze kuhlume kahle imbewu.
Njengoba lesi sitshalo sinezimbali zombili zesilisa nabesilisa, kungcono ukuba nephesenti ephakeme yezimbali zabesifazane ngoba lokhu kwandisa isivuno. Ukushisa kwama-35°C noma ngaphezulu okuholela phambili nangesikhathi sokubunjwa kwembali, kwandisa iphesenti yezimbali zesilisa ezakhiwe futhi kunciphise isivuno.
Izinhlobo
Kukhona izilimo eziningi ezingaphezu kwekhulu ezizokhetha kuzo. Kungcono ukufuna iseluleko esikhwameni sendawo yakho kanye nesiphathimandla sokwandisa. Kubalulekile ukufuna izeluleko ezivela emakethe yakho nabathengi. Tshala lokho imakethe ifuna.
Ezinye izinhlobo zibalwe ngezansi:
Ithanga: iNkosana, i-Flat White Boer, i-Ford, i-Jarrahdale, i-Long Island Cheese, i-Queensland Blue, i-Star 7001 ne-7022
