Utshani Lwamadlelo

I-Grasses, ebizwa ngokuthi i-monocot noma izitshalo ezincane-amaqabunga, iyindawo ebalulekile yamadlelo. Uma uxubene nemifino emadlelweni, utshani bunganciphisa ingozi yokuqothula lapho izilwane zidla idlelo.Utshani buphinde buqede ukukhula kokhula, ingasiza izindawo zokudla zihlale zisanda futhi zinikeze isivuno esihle. Ukukhethwa kwamadlelo amaningi emadlelweni kusho ukuthi kunotshani olufanele cishe noma yisiphi isimo sezulu noma isitayela sokuphatha.
Ingahlukaniswa ngotshani obusika noma ehlobo, kanti utshani obunzima noma obusika.
Buza inkampani yenkampani ukuthi inikeze isiqondiso emasimini angcono kakhulu ukuze amadlelo akhule endaweni yakini nendawo yakho yomhlaba.

Grasses Ekhula Ngohlobo lweMfuyo

Amahlumela akhiqiza isivuno saso esiphezulu nokukhula emfudumeni okufudumele abizwa ngokuthi utshani obusika ehlobo futhi ngokuvamile atshalwe ezindaweni ezifudumele zaseNingizimu Afrika.
Amahlumela ehlobo
Lezi zitshalo azifanelekile ukudlala okunzima futhi zibe nokugaya okuncane. Ukwehlisa umzimba kungumthamo wezakhi ezingasetshenziswa emadlelweni.
Izibonelo zokutshala utshani zilalela utshani (i-Eragrostis curvula), idlelo elihlala unomphela futhi utshani obunamandla obumelana nesomiso (Cenchrus cilliaris) kanye nezinhlobo zemifino ezinotshani ezifana noSomuts finger grass (Digitaria eriantha).
Ukulonda uthando utshani kufanelekile enhlabathini e-acidi egcwele kahle nge-pH engama-4 kuya ku-7. Utshani lweBuffalo luthanda inhlabathi pH-8, lukhula emhlabathini onesihlabathi endle futhi luzwela ku-aluminium kanye ne-manganese. I-Smuts yeminwe enomsoco enotshani ikhula emhlabathini ongenamhlabathi othobekile kanye nenhlabathi ye-sandier ene-pH ka-6 kuya ku-7 kepha ihlushwa emhlabathini ophansi ovundile.
Utshani obukhula ngokushesha obizwa ngokuthi iRhodes luyafana kahle nezimo eziningi futhi luveza isivuno esikhulu kusukela ngonyaka wokuqala wokutshala. Okuhle kuxutshwe noSmuts umunwe utshani.
Utshani obunwabuzela emhlabeni
Lezi zinhlobo zotshani zilulama kahle ngemuva kokudla okunzima kodwa, njengendlela utshani obusayo ehlobo, bunomzimba ophansi.
Izibonelo zezitshalo ezinwabuzelayo ezinwabuzelayo zibandakanya i-kikuyu - ekhetha inhlabathi evundile - kanye nokubekezela kwesomiso kanye nomhlabathi obopha ubusika noma utshani obunenkanyezi (izinkanyezi ze-Cynodon).

Izinhlanzi Ezikhulayo Ezitshalweni zePhasika

Izitshalo zokudla ezinomsoco zikhula kangcono ngesikhathi sonyaka epholile njengokusentwasahlobo nasekwindla. Lezi zitshalo zihlala ziluhlaza ngesikhathi sasebusika, zikwazi ukubekezelela iqhwa futhi zivame ukugaya kakhulu kunotshani ehlobo.
Utshani obunamanzi obuhlaza
Khetha utshani obulungile bokudla kwezilwane zakho. Isibonelo, i-ryegrass engapheli iyakwazi ukubekezelela ukudla okunzima, kodwa utshani lwenyawo lwenkoma lukhula kangcono uma ludla kancane. I-ryegrass yase-Italy ingadliwa isikhathi eside kune-Westerworld ryegrass. I-Ryegrass njengesitshalo sesidlelo idinga i-nitrogen namanzi amaningi.
I-fescue ende iwuhle kakhulu emhlabathini owomile kakhulu kanye nasemanhlands futhi ingabekezelela inhlabathi e-acidic.
Unyawo lomkhumbi (i-Dactylis glomerata) lihle kakhulu. Lolu utshani lungamelana nokudla okunzima futhi lukhule kahle emithambekeni yasentshonalanga nasezindaweni ezithuthukile, okulungile ukutshala ezivini nasemasimini.
