Umbuzo, lapho uhlanza izaqathe noma i-beet, ujabulela noma yimuphi umlimi wemifino, njengoba imigomo efanelekile iqinisekisa ukuthola izithelo eziwusizo, ezinempilo kanye nezolondolozwe kahle. Yiqiniso, isikhathi sokuvuna isithombo sebhitrudi sincike kakhulu ezihlukahlukene kanye nesifunda sokulima, singakwazi ukwelula kusukela ekuqaleni kukaSepthemba kuya ekuqaleni kukaNovemba, kepha iziqondiso eziningi eziningana zingabonakala.
Kungani kubalulekile ukususa ama-beet ngesikhathi?
Ukuzikhethela kwezitshalo zezimpande ze-beet ukuthi bathelela izindawo eziwusizo kakhulu futhi zikhule kangcono ngesikhathi sekwindla, lapho izinga lokushisa lomoya liyancipha kancane kancane. Yingakho ukuvunwa kokuqala kwe-beet kungathandeki, izithelo ziyoba zincane futhi azikwazi ukugcinwa kahle. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, ukubambezela isikhathi sokuvuna kuze kube semkhawulweni kuzobe kungalungile, ngoba ama-frosts e-beet ayingozi. Ingxenye ye-beetroot efika phezulu ingonakaliswa kalula yi-frosts yokuqala, futhi iningi lesitshalo alifanelekile ukugcina futhi lingaba mnyama ngaphakathi.
Isikhathi sokuvuna sithatha kanjani isimo sezulu?
- Uma ekwindla sekufudumala, ngakho-ke akusizi ngalutho ukugcina izithelo emibhedeni, ingaba yinkimbinkimbi futhi ivulekile.
- Uma ekwindla imvula kakhulu, ukuvunwa kwesithombo sebhitrudi akufanele kubambezeleke isikhathi eside, ngoba izithelo zingagcwele umswakama obuningi, ngenxa yalokho abalahlekelwe yizindawo zabo zokudla futhi futhi zigcinwa kahle ebusika. Uma ngabe ngaphezulu ukuqala isimo, izithelo zingase ziqale ukubola nokubola.
- I-autumn eyomile ivumela ukuhlehlisa ukuvunwa kwezinyosi okwesikhashana, ngoba ngesikhathi sezulu izithelo zizwa zikhululekile emhlabathini, zibuthelela amavithamini kahle, futhi kamuva zihlukaniswa nokuqapha okuhle. Kungcono kakhulu ukushiya i-beetroot ezinyangeni ezomile ekwindla (ngo-Septhemba, Okthoba) kunokulondoloza emiphongolweni noma emakamelweni.
Ziyini iziqondiso jikelele zokuvuna?
Ukuqhubeka kulokhu okushiwo ngenhla, kungenzeka ukudweba uhlu olubonisa ukuthi izikhathi zokuvuna isithombo sebhitrudi zizoxhomeka kunyaka ngamunye othize:
- isifunda sokulima isiko;
- uhlobo lwesithombo sebhitrudi esitshalwe;
- Isibikezelo sezulu sekupheleni kwehlobo nekwindla;
- ubukhulu bezithelo (ezincane zingashiywa emibhedeni ukuze zikhule, zikhulu - ukumba ekuseni, uma kukhona ingozi yezizathu ezimbi);
- ukubukeka kokukhula, okubonisa ukuvuthwa kwezinyosi;
- Ukushaywa kwamaqabunga aphansi - angase aphuzi noma aome.
Indlela yokuvuna ama-beet ngokufanele?
Uma unqume ukuthi uzovuna nini, kufanele uqhubeke nesenzo esifanele. Kunconywa ukulinda kuze kube usuku olomile olumile. Kungcono ukuqoqa isithombo sebhitrudi ngesandla, ngaphandle kokumba nokusebenzisa amanye amathuluzi engadini. Uma ukumba kudingekile, ke ukuvuna izithelo kusukela kusayithi ngosuku olufanayo, kungenjalo bangakwazi ukulahlekelwa ngu-5% wesisindo, okungeyona inzuzo emapulazini amakhulu. Kubalulekile lapho ukuvuna ama-beet ukungavumeli ukulimala komshini, njengoba izitshalo zezimpande ezihlukumezekile ziwohloka ngokushesha futhi zilahlekelwa impahla yazo eyigugu.
Ngokushesha emva kokuvuna, ukunakekelwa kufanele kuthathwe ukuze kube khona isitoreji esifanele sezinyosi . Ngesithelo ngasinye, kubalulekile ukusika iziqongo ukuze kungathathi umswakama futhi isithombo sebhitrudi asizange sithobe. Lesi sitshalo asikwazi ukuqedwa, njengoba, isibonelo, esimweni sezinqathe, kufanele sinqunywe ebangeni elingu 2-3 mm kusukela ebusweni. Uma ushiya okuluhlaza okwedlulele, izinso ezizohluma entwasahlobo, ukuchitha izitshalo zezimpande, uma kunqunywa eduze komntwana, kungalimaza ikhanda, okuzophinde kube yiphutha elingenakuthethelelwa. Ukuqubuka kokungcola kususwe kusuka kubhontshisi ngezandla noma emgqonyeni owomile, ezinye izindlela ezifana nokugeza, ukuhlunga noma ukushaya phansi izithelo zebhethri ziphikisana.
