6 PASSION FUIT 6.122 – FERTILIZER & HARVEST

 
Fertiliser application
At planting, use MORGANICS SEAWEED and farmyard manure. To obtain high yields, regular organic fertilisation is necessary.
Apply 300g of Calcium Ammonium Nitrate (CAN) per plant per year in two applications of 150g each during rainy season. Spraying with ORGANIC SEAWEAD is also recommended.

Crop protection
Weeding is essential when the plants are first transplanted. Disease is usually sufficiently controlled by crop rotation as plantations are not kept for more than three years.
Infected plant material should be pruned and destroyed and vines kept as open as possible to allow thorough application of sprays. Diseases can also be controlled by combination of good management, good orchard hygiene, and a suitable spray programme.
Pests lower fruit quality and should be controlled by regularly checking the areas around the orchard for signs of build-up. If necessary, spray to control the pests before they spread to the crop.

Harvest
When ready for harvesting, the skin of the fruit is deep purple or yellow. Its pulpy interior is bright yellow, filled with small black seeds. For fresh market or use, the fruit is picked when colour changes occur.
For processing, the fruit is allowed to drop to the ground and picked at least every second day. At this stage, the fruit is shrivelled but quite suitable for processing. Yields decline each year until harvests are not adequate in the four year.

Yields
Yields of over 15-20 tonnes/ha are attainable.

6 SASSION FUIT 6.122 – MBOLEA NA MAVUNO
 
Uwekaji mbolea
Wakati wa kupanda, tumia MORGANICS SEAWEED na samadi ya shambani. Ili kupata mavuno mengi, mbolea ya kikaboni ya kawaida ni muhimu.
Weka 300g ya Calcium Ammonium Nitrate (CAN) kwa mmea kwa mwaka katika matumizi mawili ya 150g kila msimu wa mvua. Kunyunyizia na ORGANIC SEAWEAD pia kunapendekezwa
Ulinzi wa mazao
Palizi ni muhimu wakati mimea inapandikizwa kwanza. Ugonjwa kawaida hudhibitiwa vya kutosha kwa mzunguko wa mazao kwani mashamba hayatunzwe kwa zaidi ya miaka mitatu.
Nyenzo za mmea zilizoambukizwa zinapaswa kupogolewa na kuharibiwa na mizabibu iwekwe wazi iwezekanavyo ili kuruhusu uwekaji kamili wa dawa. Magonjwa pia yanaweza kudhibitiwa kwa mchanganyiko wa usimamizi mzuri, usafi mzuri wa bustani, na programu inayofaa ya dawa.
Wadudu hupunguza ubora wa matunda na wanapaswa kudhibitiwa kwa kuangalia mara kwa mara maeneo karibu na bustani kwa dalili za kuongezeka. Ikibidi, nyunyiza ili kudhibiti wadudu kabla ya kuenea kwenye mazao
Mavuno
Wakati tayari kwa kuvuna, ngozi ya matunda ni ya rangi ya zambarau au ya njano. Sehemu yake ya ndani ya pulpy ni manjano mkali, iliyojaa mbegu ndogo nyeusi. Kwa soko au matumizi mapya, matunda huchukuliwa wakati mabadiliko ya rangi yanapotokea.
Kwa usindikaji, matunda yanaruhusiwa kushuka chini na kuchujwa angalau kila siku ya pili. Katika hatua hii, matunda yamekauka lakini yanafaa kabisa kusindika. Mavuno hupungua kila mwaka hadi mavuno hayatoshi katika miaka minne.
Mazao
Mavuno ya zaidi ya tani 15-20 kwa hekta yanaweza kupatikana.
