Ukushintshanisa izitshalo

Kuwumkhuba omuhle wokushintshanisa izitshalo lapho uveza u-Swiss chard ukuvimbela izilokazane ezikhathazayo nezifo. Shintshanisa namathanga, ubhontshisi, uphizi, ulethisi, utamatisi, amazambane kanye neklabishi.

Isivuno (amathani amahektha ngalinye)

Ngokulondoloza: amathani angu - 20
Isilinganiso sangaphakathi: amathani angu - 30
Kuhle: amathani angu - 50+

Ukuvuna

Ukuvunwa kuvamise ngesandla ngomimese obukhali noma izinto zokusika ezincane ezincane. Lokhu kuvumela abalimi ukuba bavune isikhathi eside futhi ngaleyo ndlela bakhulise isivuno. Sika kuphela amaqabunga angaphandle angama-40 mm ngaphezu komhlaba. Lokhu kufanele kwenziwe njalo ukukhuthaza ukukhula futhi ngaleyo ndlela kwandise isivuno. Emabhizinisini amakhulu okulima okuhweba lokhu ngezinye izikhathi kwenziwa ngomshini. Kulezi ndawo ezinkulu nokukhiqiza nakho kuphakeme.

Isitoreji

I-Swiss chard ayilondolozi kahle futhi kumele igcinwe endaweni ephuthumayo ngokushesha ngemva kokuvuna ngangokunokwenzeka. Imiphumela emihle ingaphansi kokushisa okuphakathi kuka-2°C no-4°C nakumswakama engaphezulu kwe-85%. I-chard yaseSwitzerland kufanele igcinwe ngaphansi kwesiqandisiso izinsuku eziyisikhombisa ngaphambi kokusetshenziswa ukuqinisekisa umkhiqizo wekhwalithi. Ngakho umkhiqizo kumele ufike kumthengi ngokushesha ngemuva kokuvuna ngangokunokwenzeka.
