Ukusabalalisa
Ukusabalalisa kwe-Butternut kuvela enzalweni.Indlela Yokutshala
Imbewu itshalwa ngesandla kanye nemishini. Imbewu ye-butternut itshalwe ngqo emigqeni elungiselelwe yokutshala. Imbewu itshalwe u-2.5 cm kuya ku-3 cm ukujula. Kuzo zonke izitshalo zezitshalo beka ezimbili imbewu engu-10 cm ukuqinisekisa ukufakwa. Izithombo ezingaphezu kwe-butternut zingasuswa futhi zitshalwe kwenye indawo uma zombili imbewu zihlume. Okuqine kakhulu kungagcinwa.Isikhala
Izimila kufanele zihlukaniswe ngamasentimitha angama-30 kuya ku-40 ngaphandle kwemigqa engama-120 cm. Lokhu kuphakathi kuka-20 000 no-30 000 izitshalo ze-butternut ngehektare ngalinye.Isikhathi Sokutshala
Ama-butternuts yizitshalo ezifudumala sezulu, ngakho-ke ukutshala kwenzeka kusukela entwasahlobo kuze kube phakathi kwehlobo. Ukutshala eNingizimu Afrika kuqala ngo-Agasti lapho izinga lokushisa liye laqala ukwanda emva kwebusika. Ezindaweni lapho kukhona khona ingozi yeqhwa namazinga okushisa aphansi, ukutshala kuzoqala kuphela ngo-Septhemba. Ukutshala kungadlulela ekuqaleni kukaDisemba uma izinga lokushisa ephakathi kwehlobo lingekho ngaphezu kwama-35°C.Isikhathi Sokukhula
Inkathi yokukhula ye-Butternut ngokuvamile iphakathi kwamasonto angu-12 no-15 kusukela ekutshalweni kwembewu kuya emanzini okuqala okulungele ukuvuna.Isivundiso
Qala ukulungiselela indawo yesitshalo okungenani inyanga ngaphambi kokutshala. Uma inhlabathi idinga umquba, qala ngokusebenzisa cishe u-20 m³ kuya ku-30 m³ yomquba noma umquba ngehektare bese uhluma lokhu kube emhlabathini ophezulu ka-300 mm. Inhlabathi isuke ishiywe ukuze ixazulule umquba bese izitshalo zezitshalo zilungiswa.Lapho imbewu ihlume futhi izithombo ezincane zizakhele zona, zisebenza phakathi kuka-400 no-600 kilogram ka-2:3:4 (30) ngehektare ngalinye emigwaqeni yezitshalo. Isicelo sokugcina se-nitrogen ngesimo sama-250 kilograms se-LAN (i-Limestone Ammonium Nitrate) kumele kwenziwe amasonto amahlanu kuya kwayisithupha emva kokutshala ukuze kuthuthukiswe izithelo uma izakhi zokuqala zakha.
