Ukutshalwa kwe-Swiss Chard
Ukusabalalisa
Ukusabalalisa kuvela enzalweni.
Indlela Yokutshala
Ukuhlwanyela imbewu futhi kunqamuke kube nokuqiniseka kwendawo evulekile okulungile. Imbewu kufanele itshalwe ngo-20 mm ukujula. Izithombo nazo zingahlwanyelwa emathileyini embewu futhi zitshalwe phandle uma zikhula zibe ngamasentimitha ayishumi.
Indawo evulekile
Izitshalo kufanele zihlukaniswe ngamasentimitha angu-10 ukuya kwangu-20 emigqeni engama-30 kuya ku-40 cm eceleni. Lezi zitshalo eziyi-16 kuya kwezingu-30 kumamitha. Ngakho-ke izitshalo ezingu-160 000 kuya ku-300 000+ ngehektha ngalinye.
Isikhathi sokuhlwanyela
Nakuba lesi sitshalo singahlwanyiswa unyaka wonke uma isimo sezulu siqondile, eNingizimu Afrika kunezikhathi ezimbili zokuhlwanyela ezisetshenziswayo. NgoJanuwari kuya ku-Ephreli uma ubusika bungabanda kakhulu futhi ngo-Agasti kuya kuDisemba.
Isikhathi sokukhula
Ukuvuna kwamaqabunga okuqala angaphandle kungaqala izinsuku ezingu-70 kuya kwezingu-80 kusukela ekutshalweni. Ukuqinisekisa izikhathi zokukhiqiza ezinde futhi ngakho-ke ukuvunwa okuphezulu kwe-Swiss chard kudinga umthombo oqhubekayo we-nayithrojeni enhlabathini.
Umanyolo
Ngaphambi kokutshala lapho inhlabathi isilungiswa, kuhlanzwa futhi kuhlanganiswe isicelo sokuqala phakathi kuka-700 kg no-1000 kg wexube elihle lama-nitrojeni, ama-phosphates ne-potassium afana no-2:3:2 kufanele ahlanganiswe phezulu. Ngemva kwalokho, 250 kg we-LAN kufanele ifakwe emavikini amane futhi futhi amasonto ayisishiyagalombili kusukela kokutshala. Ukusetshenziswa komquba wezinkukhu ophezulu eNitrogen kuye kwanda isivuno esikhulu kakhulu kumathani angama-70 ngehektare ngalinye.
Ukunisela
Ngenyanga yokuqala yokukhula kwesitshalo inhlabathi kufanele ihlolwe nsuku zonke ukuqinisekisa ukuthi lesi sitshalo asinaso ukucindezeleka komswakama njengoba lesi sitshalo sibucayi kakhulu kulokhu. Emazingeni okushisa aphezulu uma inhlabathi isomile ngokushesha, ngesonto noma ngisho nangesonto kabili ukuchelela kumele kuhlinzekwe. Ezindaweni ezipholile ukuchelela kungathathwa kuze kube yizinsuku eziyi-14 emhlabathini owunzima. Ukukhumbula ngaso sonke isikhathi ukuthi i-Swiss chard enezimpande zayo ezingajulile zizwela ukucindezeleka kwenhlabathi. Kubalulekile ukuhlola ukungezwani komhlabathi kabili ngesonto.
