6 TOMATOES - 6.74 – PREFERRING
TOMATOES
Preferring tomatoes:
Four common mistakes beginners make all the time.
In the spring, the
first tomato plants are brought forward on the windowsill. If you already make mistakes
here, you may be making the effort in vain.
Tomatoes are
undoubtedly one of the most popular plants in the vegetable garden. Young
plants can also be bought in the garden trade, but if you prefer your tomato
plants yourself and later plant them in the garden, you have a richer selection
of tomato varieties. When sowing and cultivating tomato plants, however,
beginners make the same mistakes again and again.
Avoid mistakes when
growing tomatoes.
Mistakes in growing
tomatoes can, in the worst case, result in the seeds not germinating at all or
in the shoots developing only weakly or too late. Typical errors can be the
following:
5
Mistakes Gardening Newbies Make and How to Avoid Them.
1.
Sowing too late: Many hobby
gardeners wait too long before growing tomatoes, sometimes until early summer.
March is the ideal time to start sowing on the windowsill. If you start too
late, you must expect a poorer harvest, since the perennials simply don't have
the time to develop enough fruit.
2.
Forget about sources: For the tomato
seeds to germinate quickly, they need a lot of moisture. Many beginners forget
to pre-soak the seed. All you must do is soak the tomato seeds in lukewarm
water overnight. Some also swear by cooled chamomile tea, which is said to
prevent germs and mould.
3.
Press down the soil: After you have
planted the tomato seeds in the potting soil, they are finally covered with a
thin layer of sieved potting soil and pressed down very gently. It shouldn't be
too hard; the soil must remain loose.
4.
Watering incorrectly: Another
classic beginner's mistake: Water the seeds with a watering can until the pots
are completely soaked. Here it is sufficient to spray the soil lightly with
water. The soil should then feel like a squeezed-out sponge. In this way, the
seed is not accidentally washed away. Finally, to prevent mould growth, the
soil can be covered with a thin layer of sand.
However, if the
tomatoes are already grown in the garden, a successful harvest is by no means
guaranteed. A lot can also go wrong when caring for tomato plants.

NYANYA 6 - 6.74 –
KUPENDELEA NYANYA
Kupendelea nyanya: Makosa manne ya kawaida wanaoanza kufanya kila
wakati.
Katika chemchemi, mimea ya kwanza ya nyanya huletwa mbele kwenye dirisha
la madirisha. Ikiwa tayari unafanya makosa hapa, unaweza kuwa unafanya juhudi
bure.
Nyanya bila shaka ni moja ya mimea maarufu zaidi katika bustani ya
mboga. Mimea mchanga pia inaweza kununuliwa katika biashara ya bustani, lakini
ikiwa unapendelea mimea yako ya nyanya mwenyewe na baadaye kuipanda kwenye
bustani, una uteuzi mzuri wa aina za nyanya. Wakati wa kupanda na kulima mimea
ya nyanya, hata hivyo, waanziaji hufanya makosa sawa tena na tena.
Epuka makosa wakati wa kupanda nyanya.
Makosa katika kukua nyanya yanaweza, katika hali mbaya zaidi,
kusababisha mbegu zisizoota kabisa au katika shina zinazoendelea tu dhaifu au
kuchelewa. Makosa ya kawaida yanaweza kuwa yafuatayo:
Makosa 5 ya Kutunza Bustani ya Watoto wachanga na Jinsi ya Kuepuka.
1. Kupanda kwa kuchelewa: Wapanda bustani wengi wa hobby husubiri kwa
muda mrefu kabla ya kupanda nyanya, wakati mwingine hadi majira ya joto mapema.
Machi ni wakati mzuri wa kuanza kupanda kwenye dirisha la madirisha. Ikiwa
utaanza kuchelewa, lazima utarajie mavuno duni, kwani mimea ya kudumu haina
wakati wa kukuza matunda ya kutosha.
2. Sahau kuhusu vyanzo: Ili mbegu za nyanya kuota haraka, zinahitaji
unyevu mwingi. Waanzilishi wengi husahau kuloweka mbegu kabla. Unachotakiwa
kufanya ni kuloweka mbegu za nyanya kwenye maji ya uvuguvugu kwa usiku mmoja.
Wengine pia huapa kwa chai iliyopozwa ya chamomile, ambayo inasemekana kuzuia
vijidudu na ukungu.
3. Kanda chini udongo: Baada ya kupanda mbegu za nyanya kwenye udongo wa
chungu, hatimaye hufunikwa na safu nyembamba ya udongo wa kuchujwa na
kukandamizwa chini kwa upole sana. Haipaswi kuwa ngumu sana; udongo lazima
ubaki huru.
4. Kumwagilia vibaya: Kosa lingine la mwanzilishi wa kawaida: Mwagilia
mbegu kwa kopo la kumwagilia hadi sufuria zilowe kabisa. Hapa inatosha
kunyunyiza udongo kwa maji kidogo. Kisha udongo unapaswa kuhisi kama sifongo
iliyobanwa. Kwa njia hii, mbegu haijaoshwa kwa bahati mbaya. Hatimaye, ili
kuzuia ukuaji wa mold, udongo unaweza kufunikwa na safu nyembamba ya mchanga.
Hata hivyo, ikiwa nyanya tayari zimepandwa kwenye bustani, mavuno ya
mafanikio hayana uhakika wowote. Mengi pia yanaweza kwenda vibaya wakati wa kutunza
mimea ya nyanya.

6 TOMATOES - 6.76 – DIFFERENT INFOS

TOMATOES (Lycopersicon
esculentum)
Tomatoes are fruit vegetables
widely grown in Kenya. The ripe fruit may be eaten raw, cooked or processed to
make tomato sauces, juices and pastes.
Ecological Requirements
•Altitude: 0-2100 m above sea
level.
•Rainfall: 700-1300 mm per annum.
•Soils: deep, fertile and well
drained.
Varieties
•Fresh market varieties: Money
maker, Marglobe, hundred fold, Beef eater, Hot set, Super marmande Ponderosa.
•Processing varieties: Kenya
beauty, San -marzano, Roma, Heinz 13S0, Primabel, Rutgers hybrid
Nursery Practices
Choose a site which has not been
grown Solanaceae crop in the last three years. Nursery beds are raised about
15cm above the ground level. Make drills (holes) of 20cm apart and 1cm deep
drill and cover the seeds. Provide shade or mulch material. Water (irrigate)
twice a day. Apply phosphatic fertilizers during planting.
Seedbed Preparation.
The land should be dug deeply to
control weeds. Transplanting
Seedlings are ready for transplanting when
they are 10-15cm high after about one month.
Holes are made at a spacing of
60cm x 90cm. Apply 20gm of DSP in the planting hole. Transplant with a ball of
soil around the roots. Apply mulch around each seedling. Transplanting is
normally in the evening or on a cloudy day.
Field Management Practises.
•Early control of weeds is
necessary. Top dressing is done after crop establishes. •Pruning and staking
are done to train the plants to grow vertically.
Pests Control
•American Bollworm bores holes on
the fruits. It should be controlled by spraying insecticides.
•Tobacco White Fly sucks plant
sap from the underside of the leaf, hence may transmit viral diseases. It
should be controlled by destroying the infected plant and spray insecticides.
Disease Control
•Late Blight is caused by Fungus.
Symptoms includes dry patches on the leaves and fruits. It should be controlled
, best is crop rotation and destruction of affected materials.
•Blossom-end Rot is caused by too
much nitrogen in early stages and Irregular or infrequent watering.
•Calcium deficiency can be
controlled by applying calcium ammonium nitrate.
Harvesting
•For canning. Fruits should be
fully ripe.
•For fresh market. Fruits should
be partially ripe and packed in crates to avoid damage. The fruits should be
graded according to; size, colour, ripeness, free from blemishes.

NYANYA 6 - 6.76 - TAARIFA TOFAUTI
NYANYA (Lycopersicon esculentum)
Nyanya ni mboga za matunda
zinazokuzwa sana nchini Kenya. Matunda yaliyoiva yanaweza kuliwa yakiwa
mabichi, kupikwa au kusindikwa ili kutengeneza michuzi ya nyanya, juisi na
pastes.
Mahitaji ya Kiikolojia
•Muinuko: 0-2100 m juu ya usawa
wa bahari.
•Mvua: 7S0-1300 mm kwa mwaka.
•Udongo: wenye kina kirefu, wenye
rutuba na usio na maji.
Aina mbalimbali
•Aina mpya za soko: Money maker,
Marglobe, mara mia, Mla nyama, Hot set, Super marmande Ponderosa.
•Aina za usindikaji: Kenya
beauty, San -marzano, Roma, Heinz 13S0, Primabel, Rutgers hybrid
Mazoezi ya Kitalu
Chagua tovuti ambayo haijapandwa
mmea wa Solanaceae katika miaka mitatu iliyopita. Vitanda vya kitalu
vimeinuliwa karibu 15cm kutoka usawa wa ardhi. Tengeneza mashimo (mashimo) ya 20cm kutoka kwa umbali na 1cm kina na
kufunika mbegu. Kutoa nyenzo za kivuli au matandazo. Maji (mwagilia) mara mbili
kwa siku. Weka mbolea ya fosforasi wakati wa kupanda.
Maandalizi ya Kitanda cha
Mbegu.
Ardhi inapaswa kuchimbwa kwa
kina ili kudhibiti magugu. Kupandikiza
Miche iko tayari kuatikwa ikiwa ina urefu wa
10-15cm baada ya mwezi mmoja hivi.
Mashimo hufanywa kwa nafasi ya
60cm x 90cm. Weka 20gm ya DSP kwenye shimo la kupandia. Pandikiza na mpira wa
udongo kuzunguka mizizi. Weka matandazo kuzunguka kila mche. Kupandikiza
kawaida hufanyika jioni au siku ya mawingu.
Mazoezi ya Usimamizi wa shamba.
•Udhibiti wa mapema wa magugu
ni muhimu. Mavazi ya juu hufanywa baada ya mazao kuanzishwa. •Kupogoa na kuweka
mshikamano hufanywa ili kutoa mafunzo kwa mimea kukua kwa wima.
Udhibiti wa Wadudu
•Bollworm wa Marekani hutoboa
mashimo kwenye matunda. Inapaswa kudhibitiwa kwa kunyunyizia viua wadudu.
•Tobacco White Fly hufyonza
utomvu wa mmea kutoka chini ya jani, hivyo basi huweza kuambukiza magonjwa ya
virusi. Inapaswa kudhibitiwa kwa kuharibu mmea ulioambukizwa na kunyunyizia
dawa za wadudu.
Udhibiti wa Magonjwa
•Late Blight husababishwa na
Kuvu. Dalili ni pamoja na mabaka kavu kwenye majani na matunda. Inapaswa
kudhibitiwa, bora ni mzunguko wa mazao na uharibifu wa nyenzo zilizoathirika.
•Blossom-end Rot husababishwa
na nitrojeni nyingi katika hatua za awali na kumwagilia maji kwa utaratibu au
mara kwa mara.
•Upungufu wa kalsiamu unaweza
kudhibitiwa kwa kutumia calcium ammonium nitrate.
Kuvuna
•Kwa ajili ya kuweka makopo.
Matunda yanapaswa kukomaa kabisa.
•Kwa soko jipya. Matunda
yanapaswa kuwa yameiva na kufungwa kwenye masanduku ili kuepuka uharibifu.
Matunda yanapaswa kupangwa kulingana na; ukubwa, rangi, ukomavu, usio na mawaa.

6 TOMATOES - 6.78 – EPSOM SALT FOR TOMATOE PLANTS
ORGANIC FARMING COURSE AGRO-ECONOMY
6 TOMATOES - 6.78 – EPSOM SALT FOR
TOMATOE PLANTS
When to
Use Epsom Salts for Tomato Plants—and When Not
Epsom salts are a popular fix for different
plant problems, but whether you can use them for tomatoes depends on a very
specific issue.
Sweet,
juicy tomatoes are summer’s prize—in a fresh green salad, layered with basil
and mozzarella and drizzled with balsamic, and on a simple slice of sourdough. So, if your tomato plants aren’t producing the bumper crop you
expected, you might be tempted to nourish them with Epsom salt, a gardener’s
secret weapon.
When applied correctly, Epsom
salt can help plants absorb nutrients so they grow stronger and may help
control powdery mildew and other fungal diseases. Epsom salt is known to help
boost flower size, promote bushier plants, improve seed germination, and increase
fruit production.
Magnesium and sulfur are the
star players in Epsom salt, according to Carrie Spoonemore, co-creator of Park
Seed’s From Seed to Spoon app. They fuel plant protein photosynthesis and
enzyme function, and without enough of them, plant leaves may yellow and grow
poorly.
Plants thought to benefit from
Epsom salt include tomatoes, under the right circumstance; roses, which gain healthy blooms and greener leaves;
peppers, which enjoy stronger roots and improved fruit development; citrus
trees, which get greater fruit production and less yellowing of leaves; some houseplants, and some lawns when
used as a fertilizer supplement.

NYANYA 6 - 6.78 – CHUMVI YA EPSOM KWA MIMEA
YA NYANYA
Wakati wa Kutumia Chumvi ya Epsom kwa Mimea
ya Nyanya—na Wakati Sivyo
Chumvi za Epsom ni suluhisho maarufu kwa
shida tofauti za mmea, lakini ikiwa unaweza kuzitumia kwa nyanya inategemea
suala mahususi.
Nyanya tamu, yenye juisi ni zawadi ya majira
ya joto-katika saladi safi ya kijani, iliyotiwa na basil na mozzarella na
iliyotiwa na balsamu, na kwenye kipande rahisi cha chachu. Kwa hivyo, ikiwa
mimea yako ya nyanya haitoi mazao mengi uliyotarajia, unaweza kujaribiwa
kuilisha kwa chumvi ya Epsom, silaha ya siri ya mtunza bustani.
Inapowekwa vizuri, chumvi ya Epsom inaweza
kusaidia mimea kufyonza virutubisho ili ikue na kuwa na nguvu na inaweza
kusaidia kudhibiti ukungu na magonjwa mengine ya ukungu. Chumvi ya Epsom
inajulikana kusaidia kuongeza ukubwa wa maua, kukuza mimea ya bushier,
kuboresha uotaji wa mbegu, na kuongeza uzalishaji wa matunda.
Magnesiamu na salfa ndizo wachezaji nyota
katika chumvi ya Epsom, kulingana na Carrie Spoonemore, mtayarishaji mwenza wa
programu ya Park Seed's From Seed to Spoon. Wao huchochea photosynthesis ya
protini ya mimea na kazi ya enzyme, na bila ya kutosha yao, majani ya mimea
yanaweza njano na kukua vibaya.
Mimea inayofikiriwa kufaidika na chumvi ya
Epsom ni pamoja na nyanya, chini ya hali inayofaa; roses, ambayo hupata blooms
afya na majani ya kijani; pilipili, ambayo hufurahia mizizi yenye nguvu na
kuboresha maendeleo ya matunda; miti ya machungwa, ambayo hupata uzalishaji
mkubwa wa matunda na njano kidogo ya majani; baadhi ya mimea ya ndani, na
baadhi ya nyasi zinapotumika kama nyongeza ya mbolea.
