Ukushintshanisa Izitshalo

Ukushintshaniswa kwezitshalo kunconywa ukulwa nokwakhiwa kwezinambuzane. Akudingekile uma umhlaba udingwa njalo ukuze ukhiqize ijinja futhi uma kulandelwa uhlelo lokuvikela izitshalo ezifanele ukulwa nalezi zinambuzane nezifo.

Ukukhiqiza - amathani ihektha ngalinye

Isilinganiso esiphansi: amathani angu-20
Isilinganiso sangaphakathi: amathani angu-35
Kuhle: amathani angu-50

Ukuvuna

Ukuvuna kwejinja mid-season kuvame ukuqala kwe-Autumn ngo-Ephreli nangoMeyi nojinja okwephuzile ngoJuni noJulayi lapho amaqabunga esitshalo efile futhi esomile. Ukuvuna phakathi nonyaka kanye nejinja ephuzile ngokuvamile kuvame ukusebenza ngokufaka umququzi wezambatho. Wonke ama-rhizomes kufanele avunwe ngoba azoqala ukukhula futhi lapho isimo sezulu siqala ukufudumala futhi.
Ijinja yokuqala edingekayo ukuze igcinwe futhi idinga ukuba ne-fiber ivunwe emva kwezinyanga ezinhlanu kusukela kokutshala ngesandla ukuze ungalimazi ama-rhizomes. Lokhu kuvame ukuqala ngoFebruwari eNingizimu Afrika.

Ukugcina

Njengoba iginja elisha libhubhisa kakhulu i-rhizome yejinja ikwelashwa ngemva kokuvuna ngokuphoqa umoya oshisayo ngamaqoqo noma amabheji. Ukwelashwa kuthatha isonto elilodwa.
Isitoreji sejinja singenziwa ngempumelelo izinyanga ezingu-12. Ukushisa kokugcina kufanele kube yi-15°C endaweni enomswakama wesihlobo ka-80%.
Izinambuzane nezifo ezihambisana nokukhiqizwa kwejinja ziyahlukahluka kuzo zonke izindawo eziningi zokukhiqiza emhlabeni jikelele. Ezinye izinkinga ezivamile zibalulwe ngezansi.

Izinambuzane

Ama-Nematodes, i-Mealy Bug, ama-aphid ne-Shoot borer.

Izifo

Fusarium rot, Bacterial rot, Bacterial wilt, Leaf spot
