Ukusabalalisa

Ubhontshisi obuhlaza busabalaliswa imbewu.

Indlela Yokutshala

Ukutshala kwenziwa ngokuhlwanyela ngokuqondile. Ukutshala kungenziwa ngesandla noma ngomshini. Imbewu itshalwe ngamasentimitha amabili kuya kwamathathu ukujula.

Indawo evulekile

Izimila kufanele zihlukaniswe ngamasentimitha amahlanu kuya kwishumi ngaphandle kwemigqa engamasentimitha angamashumi amahlanu kuya kumashumi ayisithupha ububanzi. Lokhu izitshalo eziyi-400 000 ngehektare.

Isikhathi Sokuhlwanyela

Ubhontshisi obuhlaza bungatshalwa kusukela ngoNcwaba kuya ngasekupheleni kukaMashi uma nje amazinga okushisa ngoMeyi angehli kakhulu.

Isikhathi Sokukhula

Ubhontshisi oluhlaza ufinyelela ekuvuthweni futhi angaqala ukuvunwa kusuka ezinsukwini ezingaba amashumi ayisithupha kuya kumashumi ayisikhombisa kusukela ekutshalweni. Ungavuna ngokuqhubekayo kuze kube yizinsuku ezingamashumi ayisishiyagalo lunye kuya kweziyikhulu kusukela ekutshaleni.

Isivundiso

Kuhlale kucebiswa ukusebenzisa izincomo ezinikezwe ngokusebenzisa imiphumela yamasampula omhlabathi afanelekile athathwe futhi ahlaziywa emasimini azotshalwa. Uma inhlabathi isilungisiwe kungumkhuba omuhle wokwengeza umanyolo noma umquba futhi lokhu kuhlanganiswa enhlabathini engamamilimitha angamakhulu amane kuya kumakhulu amahlanu phezulu. Noma yisiphi isitshalo sokumboza esitshaliwe singafakwa enhlabathini ngalesi sikhathi. Ngokuvamile lokhu kwenziwa cishe amasonto amane ngaphambi kokutshala.
Uma usulungele ukutshala umsebenzi wamahektha angu-1000 ehektheleni ye-N (Nitrogen) P (Phosphorus) K (Potassium) mix 2:3:4 zibe phezulu eziyisentimitha eziyishumi zenhlabathi. Emasontweni amabili kuya kwamatsatfu emva kokutshala kufaka ukugqoka okuphezulu kwamakhilogremu angu-150 e-LAN ngehektare kanye namasonto amabili emva kwalokho (cishe izinsuku ezingu-35 emva kokutshala) amanye ama-kilogram ayi-150 ngehektare.

Ukunisela

Umhlabathi kumele ube semanzi uma utshala. Uma ukutshala sekukwenziwe niselakahle enhlabathini. Bese ushiya imbewu ukuba ihlume futhi kuphela lapho izitshalo zibonisa, cishe izinsuku eziyisikhombisa kuya kwezintathu emva kokutshala bese ukuchelela okulandelayo kungenziwa. Nisela amanzi angamamilimitha angu-35 kuya ku-40 ngesonto. Umhlabathi uvame ukusebenzisa amanzi amancane kancane. Ngaphandle kokuba inhlabathi ibe nefenya ingenziwa njalo kabili ngesonto.
