Thin out the crop as
soon as the seedlings are large enough to handle. Do this in stages until the
plants are 9 in. apart.
Keep the soil hoed
and remember to water in dry weather – failure to do so will result in smaller
and woodier roots. Rain following a dry spell cause roots to split.
Spray with MORGANIC
SEAWEAD fertilizer at the first signs of flea beetle’s damage.
SOIL
FACTS
Swedes are brassicas
and like other members of the family need a firm, non-acid soil which has reasonable
drainage.
Pick a sunny spot and dig
in autumn, Lime if necessary. In spring apply Grow more fertilizer. Prepare the
seedbed a week later. Apply a nematode-based insecticide if cabbage root fly is
known to be a problem.

6 SWEDE – 6.102 - HARVESTING and KITCHEN
HARVEST
Beginn lifting as soon as the roots are large
enough to use. And there is no need to wait until they reach their maximum
size. You can leave them into the soil and lift with a fork as required. But it
may be more convenient to lift them indoors for later use.
The storage technique is to twist off the leaves
and plays the roots between layers of dry peat or sand in a stout box. Store in
a cool shed.
IN THE KITCHEN
Swede is generally acceptable as an ingredient
for stews, casseroles and soups. They are also used by fish and meat as
vegetable. And also mixed with potatoes as dishes.
STORAGE
Keep unpeeled in a cool and dry place. Swedes
will stay fresh for around 5 days.
COOKING
Remove the tops and roots - peel thickly until
yellow flesh is reached. Boiling and mashing is the traditional method of
cooking.

MAVUNO
Anza kuinua mara tu mizizi
inapokuwa kubwa ya kutosha kutumia. Na hakuna haja ya kusubiri hadi kufikia
ukubwa wao wa juu. Unaweza kuwaacha kwenye udongo na kuinua kwa uma kama
inavyotakiwa. Lakini inaweza kuwa rahisi zaidi kuziinua ndani ya nyumba kwa matumizi
ya baadaye.
Mbinu ya kuhifadhi ni kupotosha
majani na kucheza mizizi kati ya tabaka za peat kavu au mchanga kwenye sanduku
ngumu. Hifadhi kwenye jokofu baridi.
JIKONI
Kiswidi kwa ujumla kinakubalika
kama kiungo cha kitoweo, casseroles na supu. Pia hutumiwa na samaki na nyama
kama mboga. Na pia kuchanganywa na viazi kama sahani.
HIFADHI
Weka bila kusafishwa mahali pa
baridi na kavu. Wasweden watakaa safi kwa takriban siku 5.
KUPIKA
Ondoa sehemu za juu na mizizi -
peel nene hadi nyama ya manjano ifikiwe. Kuchemsha na kusaga ni njia ya jadi ya kupikia.

6 PASSION FUIT 6.12o – PLANT FACTS 6 VARIETIES
he A-Z of growing
passion fruits to harvest 15 tons from every hectare
Passion fruit, a
climbing vine, is a versatile crop whose demand is growing in both export and
domestic markets.
The fruit can be
eaten fresh or consumed after extracting the pulp and making juice.
The juice is used in
a variety of products and the pulp may be added to different dishes. A wide
range of cosmetic products and food flavours are derived from the fruit that is
rich in Vitamins A and C and carotene.
Varieties
Yellow and purple
types exist. Purple varieties do better at higher altitudes than the yellow
types. Yellow types, on the other hand, tend to yield higher and are more
resistant to diseases.
The purple variety is
acidic, varies in taste and juiciness with intense aromatic scent and round in
shape. The yellow variety is bigger, with similar taste but possibly less
aromatic, more acidic and is also round in shape.
Both varieties are
green before ripening, and they are grown for commercial and domestic purposes.

The A-Z ya kupanda
matunda ya passion ili kuvuna tani 15 kutoka kwa kila hekta
Matunda ya Passion,
mzabibu unaopanda, ni zao lenye matumizi mengi ambalo mahitaji yake
yanaongezeka katika soko la nje na la ndani.
Tunda linaweza
kuliwa likiwa mbichi au kuliwa baada ya kukamua massa na kutengeneza juisi.
Juisi hutumiwa
katika bidhaa mbalimbali na kunde kunaweza kuongezwa kwa sahani tofauti. Bidhaa
mbalimbali za vipodozi na ladha za chakula zinatokana na matunda yenye vitamini
A na C na carotene.
Aina mbalimbali
Kuna aina za
manjano na zambarau. Aina za zambarau hufanya vizuri zaidi katika mwinuko wa
juu kuliko aina za njano. Aina za njano, kwa upande mwingine, huwa na mavuno ya
juu na ni sugu zaidi kwa magonjwa.
Aina ya zambarau ni
tindikali, inatofautiana katika ladha na juiciness na harufu kali ya kunukia na
sura ya pande zote. Aina ya manjano ni kubwa zaidi, yenye ladha inayofanana
lakini pengine haina harufu nzuri, yenye asidi zaidi na pia ina umbo la duara.
Aina zote mbili ni
za kijani kabla ya kukomaa, na hupandwa kwa madhumuni ya kibiashara na ya
nyumbani.

Ecological
requirements
Passion fruits do
well in a wide range of altitudes from 1,200m to 1,800m above sea level East of
the Rift Valley and up to 2,000m above sea level West of the Rift valley.
Optimum temperature
for purple passion fruit is between 18° C to 25° C and 25° C to 30° C for
yellow passion fruit while the rainfall should be well-distributed, between 900
mm to 2,000 mm per year.
Excess rainfall
causes poor fruit set and encourages diseases mainly leaf and fruit rusts. For
good production, passion fruits do well in a variety of soils, which should be
reasonably deep and fertile with soil pH ranging between 6.0 and 6.5.
In high rainfall
areas, the soils should be well-drained as plants will not withstand
waterlogging or flooding. Some passion fruit enterprises that were doing well
in Uasin Gishu County some five years ago collapsed because of soil acidity (pH
< 5.0), which reduces nutrient uptake and accelerates Fusarium wilt disease
that causes rotting of roots and stems finally drying of the whole plant.
Farmers are encouraged to apply manure and lime in the holes and whole field to
reduce the soil acidity effects.
Planting
and trellising
Passion fruit can be
grown from seeds but grafting often produces improved stock. Yellow passion
fruit is best for production of rootstock because of superior disease
resistance while purple is good for fruit production.
Seeds germinate in
four weeks after removal of the pulp and drying. Production of seedlings in
plastic bags is the most used method.
Up to three seeds are
planted in each bag and then thinned to one after emergence. Seedlings will
require up to four months to reach a suitable transplanting growth stage. After
about seven weeks of growth following transplanting, each plant should have up
to four healthy lateral stems.
Transplanting should
be done at the beginning of the rainy season around April-June. Passion fruit
has deep roots, so soils should be well-tilled. Transplant to a field with
posts having wire trellis to support the growing crop and fruits produced.
The vines are usually
directed so that growth is in both directions along the supporting wires.
Yields are highest following a regular fertilization regime. Old or dead shoots
should be pruned. Intercropping with vegetables or other annuals is recommended
to utilize free space especially when the crop is young.
Once established, the
vines grow rapidly and the fruit should flower after about seven months.
Ideally, young passion vines should be set in the field early in the growing
season after there is no danger of drought.
Passion vines are
planted 2m from one row to the other and 3m from one plant to the other.
Horizontal trellises have cross-pieces at the top of each post with two to four
wires strung horizontally 60cm apart along the top of each cross-piece.
Vertical trellises
consist of heavy posts without cross-pieces, with two to three wires strung
along the row like barbed wire fencing, attached to the posts from the top down
at intervals of about 30-40cm apart.
Trellis wires should
be size 9 or 10 galvanized steel. The posts need to be stout enough to
withstand the weight of the vines and fruits produced throughout a season that
normally includes the buffeting of strong winds. Ideally, they should be long
enough to provide a trellis height of 1.5m, with 45-75 cm in the ground.
Trellis rows should be oriented north-south for maximum exposure to sunlight,
and the vines should be allowed to grow together along the trellises to promote
cross-pollination
.

- KUKUZA & UDONGO
Mahitaji ya
kiikolojia
Matunda ya Passion
hufanya vizuri katika miinuko mingi kutoka 1,200m hadi 1,800m juu ya usawa wa
bahari Mashariki ya Bonde la Ufa na hadi 2,000m juu ya usawa wa bahari
Magharibi mwa bonde la Ufa.
Joto bora zaidi kwa
tunda la zambarau la passion ni kati ya 18° C hadi 25° C na 25° C hadi 30° C
kwa tunda la passion ya manjano wakati mvua inapaswa kusambazwa vizuri, kati ya
900 mm hadi 2,000 mm kwa mwaka.
Mvua nyingi
husababisha mkusanyiko duni wa matunda na huchochea magonjwa hasa kutu ya
majani na matunda. Kwa uzalishaji mzuri, matunda ya passion hufanya vyema
katika aina mbalimbali za udongo, ambao unapaswa kuwa na kina kirefu na chenye
rutuba na pH ya udongo kati ya 6.0 na 6.5.
Katika maeneo yenye
mvua nyingi, udongo unapaswa kuwa na unyevu wa kutosha kwani mimea
haitastahimili mafuriko au mafuriko. Baadhi ya biashara za matunda aina ya
passion ambazo zilikuwa zikifanya vyema katika Kaunti ya Uasin Gishu miaka
mitano iliyopita zilianguka kwa sababu ya asidi ya udongo (pH <5.0), ambayo
hupunguza uchukuaji wa virutubishi na kuharakisha ugonjwa wa mnyauko Fusarium
ambao husababisha kuoza kwa mizizi na shina hatimaye kukauka kwa mmea wote.
Wakulima wanahimizwa kuweka samadi na chokaa kwenye mashimo na shamba zima ili
kupunguza athari za asidi ya udongo.
Kupanda na trellising
Matunda ya Passion
yanaweza kukuzwa kutoka kwa mbegu lakini kupandikiza mara nyingi hutoa hisa
iliyoboreshwa. Tunda la passion ya manjano ni bora zaidi kwa uzalishaji wa
vizizi kwa sababu ya upinzani bora wa magonjwa wakati zambarau ni nzuri kwa
uzalishaji wa matunda.
Mbegu huota katika
wiki nne baada ya kuondolewa kwa massa na kukausha. Uzalishaji wa miche kwenye
mifuko ya plastiki ndiyo njia inayotumika zaidi.
Hadi mbegu tatu
hupandwa katika kila mfuko na kisha kupunguzwa hadi moja baada ya kuota. Miche
itahitaji hadi miezi minne kufikia hatua inayofaa ya ukuaji wa kupandikiza.
Baada ya takriban wiki saba za ukuaji baada ya kupandikiza, kila mmea unapaswa
kuwa na hadi mashina manne ya upande yenye afya.
Kupandikiza inapaswa
kufanywa mwanzoni mwa msimu wa mvua karibu Aprili-Juni. Matunda ya mateso yana mizizi ya kina, kwa hivyo
udongo unapaswa kulimwa vizuri. Pandikiza kwenye shamba lenye nguzo zenye wire
trellis ili kusaidia mazao yanayokua na matunda yanayozalishwa.
Mizabibu kawaida
huelekezwa ili ukuaji uwe katika pande zote mbili kando ya waya zinazounga
mkono. Mavuno ni ya juu zaidi kufuatia utaratibu wa kawaida wa mbolea. Shina za
zamani au zilizokufa zinapaswa kukatwa. Kupanda mseto na mboga mboga au mimea
mingine ya kila mwaka inashauriwa kutumia nafasi ya bure hasa wakati mazao
yakiwa machanga.
Baada ya
kuanzishwa, mizabibu hukua haraka na matunda yanapaswa kuchanua baada ya miezi
saba. Kimsingi, mizabibu michanga ya shauku inapaswa kuwekwa shambani mapema
katika msimu wa ukuaji baada ya kutokuwa na hatari ya ukame.
Mizabibu ya mateso
hupandwa 2m kutoka mstari mmoja hadi mwingine na 3m kutoka mmea mmoja hadi
mwingine. Miteremko ya mlalo ina vipande-pande juu ya kila nguzo na nyaya mbili
hadi nne zilizounganishwa kwa mlalo 60cm kando ya sehemu ya juu ya kila kipande
cha msalaba.
Miteremko ya wima
ina nguzo nzito zisizo na vipande vya kuvuka, na nyaya mbili hadi tatu
zilizofungwa kando ya safu kama uzio wa nyaya zenye miiba, zikiwa
zimeunganishwa kwenye nguzo kutoka juu kwenda chini kwa vipindi vya umbali wa
30-40cm.
Waya za trellis
zinapaswa kuwa za ukubwa wa 9 au 10 za mabati. Machapisho yanahitaji kuwa
magumu vya kutosha kustahimili uzito wa mizabibu na matunda yanayozalishwa
katika msimu mzima ambayo kwa kawaida hujumuisha kupigwa na upepo mkali. Kwa
kweli, zinapaswa kuwa na urefu wa kutosha kutoa urefu wa trelli ya 1.5m, na cm
45-75 ardhini. Safu za trellis zinapaswa kuelekezwa kaskazini-kusini kwa
mwangaza wa juu zaidi wa jua, na mizabibu inapaswa kuruhusiwa kukua pamoja
kando ya trellis ili kukuza uchavushaji mtambuka.

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.

– 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.
