Ukushintshanisa Izitshalo

Hlwanyela ulethisi emva kweBrassicas bese ulandela ngeScashes noma ngokuphambene nalokho.

Ukukhiqizwa kwehlukahluka kakhulu phakathi kwezindawo nabalimi. Ukukhiqizwa kokushisa kungaveza izikhathi ezimbili noma ezintathu ukukhiqizwa kwensimu evulekile ngenxa yemikhuba yokulima ngokucophelela, imijikelezo emifushane yokukhula kanye nemvelo evikelekile.

Ukuvuna

Ukuvuna njalo emoyeni epholile futhi kungcono ukuvuna esikhathini esiphuzile sasekuseni. Ukuvuna kwenziwa ikakhulu ngesandla njengoba izitshalo zizwela kakhulu. Lapho ukuvuna lonke ikhanda le-lettuce, isiqu se-lettuce sinqunywe ngaphezu komhlabathi ngommese obukhali noma i-shears. Uma kwenzeka ama-lettuce amaqabunga amaqabunga, amaqabunga angaphandle avunwa njalo ngaphezu kwezinyanga uma efinyelela ubude obufunayo.
Abanye abalimi abavuna ukuvuna nabavuni bemishini futhi ngokuvamile lokhu kuyinhlobo yezinhlobonhlobo ze-Iceberg ne-Crisp ezisetshenziselwa ukudla okusheshayo, izimboni zokupakisha kanye nezokudlela.
Masinyane emva kokuvuna indawo ye-ulethisi ibe yindawo yokupholisa enomswakama ophezulu.

Isitoreji

I-Lettuce igcinwe ngempumelelo kwaze kwaba amasonto amabili ngemuva kokukhetha ngokuyigcina phakathi kuka-1°C no-3°C endaweni enomswakama wesihlobo esingama-90%.
Lapho i-lettuce idinga ukuthunyelwa ezimakethe ezikude, iziqukathi ezilawulwa emkhathini namagumbi ezitsheni zigcinwe ngempumelelo futhi zinikezwa i-lettuzi ngemva kwenyanga.
Thola ulwazi olungcono kakhulu nolusesikhathini esivela kumchwepheshe wezokuvuna ngemuva kokugcina isitoreji esidingekayo. Iphutha elincane liyoba nemiphumela emibi emkhiqizo.
