Ukutshala kwe-Turnip

Ukusabalalisa

Ukusabalalisa kwe-turnip kuvela enzalweni.

Indlela Yokutshala

Ukutshala i-turnip kungenziwa ngokutshala okuqondile noma ngokukhulisa izithombo nokutshala izithombo. Ukutshala kuzo zombili izimo kungenziwa ngesandla noma ngabahleli bemishini.
Uma ukuhlwanyela okuqondile kuphelile, imbewu ye-turnip ibekwa phakathi kwamamitha amathathu nantathu ukuhlukanisa ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuthi izitshalo ziphikisiwe. Uma sezixazululwe cishe amasonto amathathu kuya kwamane emva kokutshala, imigqa ifinyelelwe esitshalweni esitsandwayo. Ukutshala kwe-turnip kwenziwa ngezinhlu zemifino nobuningi noma emigqeni ye-tram ngemigqa yokufinyelela phakathi kwemigqa ye-tram kubasebenzi nezithuthi. Amanye ama-turnips atshalwe emhlabathini wezinga kanti amanye atshalwe emibhedeni yokutshala ephakanyisiwe.

Isikhala

Izitshalo ze-turnip kufanele zihlukaniswe ngo-15 cm kuya ku-20 cm ngaphandle kwemigqa engama-50 cm eceleni. Lokhu kufanele kubangele izitshalo eziphakathi kuka-100 000 no-120 000 ngehektare.

Isikhathi Sokuhlwanyela Nokutshala

I-turnip yindawo epholile yokulimala ngakho-ke itshale ngesikhathi lapho inkathi enkulu yokukhula izoba nesimo sezulu esihle. Ukuze kuvunwe ngesikhathi sehlobo laseNingizimu Afrika, ukutshala kufanele kube ngoMashi nangasekuqaleni kuka-Ephreli ukuze isitshalo sikwazi ukuqinisa ngaphambi kokushisa ebusika futhi ama frosts okuqala afike.
Ukutshala izitshalo kungenziwa ngo-Agasti nangoSepthemba kodwa kufanele kuvunyiwe ngaphambi kokushisa okukhulu kwehlobo njengoba lokhu kuzosusa ama-turnips.

Isikhathi Sokukhula

Isikhathi sokukhula kusukela lapho imbewu ye-turnip etshalwe khona ekuvuneni i-bulb iphakathi kwamasonto ayishumi nambili. Imifino ye-turnip noma amaqabunga angavunwa kusukela emavikini ayisithupha kuya kwangu-8 uma isitshalo sinamandla ngokwanele kanti izimpande zikhula kahle. Susa kuphela amaqabunga angaphandle ukuze kube khona amahlamvu anele ukugcina isitshalo sikhula futhi izimpande zikhula. Khuphula amaqabunga masinyane emva kokusika.

Umanyolo

Isampula yasemhlabathini kufanele ithathwe futhi izincomo zezobuchwepheshe zenziwe ukuze kuqinisekiswe izinhlelo zokusebenza ezifanele izakhi.
Isiphakamiso esilandelayo yisimiso esingasilandelwa uma ufaka ama-turnips.
Ngeviki ngaphambi kokutshala kwezimbewu kusebenza u-400 kg we-2: 3: 4 (30) ehektheleni lapho ulungiselela umbhede wezitshalo bese udonsa enhlabathini engaphezulu kuka-20 cm. Lokhu kunikeza izakhi emva kokutshala futhi kuzonikeza isitshalo ngamandla ukuze kube nesiqalo esihle futhi ukusiza ngokucindezeleka okwenziwe ngesikhathi sokufakelwa. Uma uhlwanyela imbewu, sebenzisa isicelo sokuqala eceleni komugqa wesitshalo ngokushesha nje lapho izitshalo ezintsha ziqala ukuqala.
Emasontweni amabili kuya kwamatsatfu kamuva, asakaza ngokufana nesicelo sokuqala emigqeni yezitshalo.
Ngemuva kwamasonto amabili kuya kwamathathu, isicelo sesithathu se-350 kg ngehektha ngalinye lama-LAN (28) lingasakazwa emigqeni yezitshalo. Lokhu kufanele kube kuhle ukuthi isitshalo sifinyelele ekuvuthweni futhi silungele ukuvuna.
Khumbula ukuqhuba ukulawula ukhula njengoba ukhula luzophanga isitshalo sezakhi ezinikezwayo.

Ukunisela

Ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuvunwa okuhle kanye nokunambitheka okuhle kubalulekile ukugwema ukucindezeleka komswakama nokukhiqizwa kwe-turnip.
Ngaphambi kokutshala, qinisekisa ukuthi inhlabathi iyomanzi kodwa ayinamanzi. Hlwanyela noma utshale izitshalo zibe semhlabathini omanzi bese unikeza ukuchelela okulula emva kokutshala kokubili imbewu kanye nezithombo ukuze zixazulule.
Ingxenye ebaluleke kunazo zonke yokunisela inesistimu ukuqinisekisa ukuthi inhlabathi yomhlabathi edingekayo isitshalo se-turnip ihlala kahle. Lokhu kungenziwa ngesandla nge spade noma augur noma ngokufaka umhlabathi umswakama amamitha ukuhlinzeka ngolwazi ngokunciphisa umswakama inhlabathi noma ukucindezeleka.
Ngemuva kokuthi izitshalo zihlelwe, isabelo se-30 mm sabesonto ngalinye kufanele sikwanele ezinyangeni ezipholile zonyaka okhulayo kanye no-40 mm kuya ku-50 mm esimweni esishisayo. Yenza lokhu kube yizicelo ezimbili noma ezintathu kulo lonke isonto.
Khumbula ukunciphisa ukuchelela uma kuvula futhi ukwandisa ivolumu yokunisela kanye nokuvama phakathi nezikhathi zokushisa okuphezulu nokukhuphuka okukhulu.
