Igama Lomkhiqizo: I-Baldwin Blueberry

Incazelo:
I-Baldwin iwuhlobo lwe-Rabbiteye blueberry lwasemva kwesizini olufakazelwe, olukhishwe yi-University of Georgia ngo 1985. Iqanjwe ngendawo yase-Baldwin, lolu hlobo luye lwaba yi- isisekelo samapulazi okuzikhethela kanye nezingadi zasekhaya kulo lonke elaseMpumalanga-Eseningizimu ye-United States, kuthandwa kakhulu ngenxa yayo isikhathi sokuvuna eside kakhulu, umkhiqizo onokwethenjelwa, kanye nekhwalithi yezithelo enhle kakhulu. Ifaneleka kakhulu ezindaweni ezishisayo zasebusika lapho izinhlobo zendabuko ze-highbush zinzima khona, ngenxa yesidingo sayo esiphansi sokuqanda nokubekezelela ukushisa okunamandla.

Isivuno Esilokhu Sinikeza:

Enye yezinto eziphawuleka kakhulu nge-Baldwin isikhathi sokuvuna eside kakhulu. Izithelo zivuthwa esikhathini esingange- amaviki angu-6 kuya kwangu-7, okuvumela abalimi ukuthi bakhethe ngokuqhubekayo cishe izinyanga ezimbili. Lesi sikhathi esandisiwe senza kube ukukhetha okuhle kakhulu kwe- imisebenzi yokuzikhethela futhi ukuthengisa emakethe yamaqabunga amasha, ihlinzeka ngomthombo oqhubekayo wamajikijolo ekhwalithi ephezulu phakathi nehlobo lasemva nasekuqaleni kwekwindla. Isitshalo ngokwaso sithatha unamandla, uqondile, futhi ukhiqiza kakhulu, enomqolo omkhulu osekelayo izitshalo ezisindayo unyaka nonyaka.

Ukubukeka Nokunambitheka:
amajikijolo e-Baldwin enkulu futhi eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka emnyama, nge- indawo encane yesiqu eyomile okwandisa isikhathi sayo sokugcinwa nokubukeka kwayo. Isithelo si- eqinile futhi ihlala isikhathi eside esihlahleni, nge- ukunambitheka okuhle, okumnandi okungukuthi umnandi nge-asidi elinganiselayo – iphrofayela yokunambitheka elinganiselayo ekhanga abathengi abaningi. Amajikijolo alungele ukudliwa emva nje kokukhiwa, ukubhaka, ukuqandisa, nokugcinwa.

Amanothi Okudla:
Njengayo yonke imijikijolo eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, i-Baldwin igcwele ama-anthocyanin, i-vitamin C, ne-fiber yokudla. Ucwaningo ngalolu hlobo luqinisekisile ukuthi okuqukethwe okuphezulu kwe-anthocyanin, okunomthelela kumbala wayo ojulile kanye nezici zayo ezinamandla ezingokwemvelo zokulwa namagciwane. Ama-blueberry aziwa kabanzi ngokusekela impilo yamehlo, ukusebenza kwenhliziyo nemithambo yegazi, kanye nempilo yengqondo.

Izinzuzo Eziyinhloko Zezebhizinisi:

• Isikhathi Sokuvuna Eside Kakhulu – Izithelo eziqhubekayo kuze kube amaviki angu-6–7, kwandisa isikhathi sokukha kanye namandla esivuno

• Isidingo Esiphansi Sokubanda – Kuphela amahora angu-450–500, ifanele izindawo ezishisayo zasebusika lapho ezinye izinhlobo zihluleka khona

• Isivuno Esihle Kakhulu – Inomkhiqizo ophezulu kakhulu nge- 2,000–3,000 jin nge-mu ezimweni zezulu ezifanele

• Ukumelana Nezifo Okuqinile – Izitshalo ezinamandla ezinokubekezelela okuhle izifo ezijwayelekile

• Izithelo Eziqinile Ezinomkhondo Womuthi Owomile – Ilungele kakhulu ukuthunyelwa nokuthengiswa emakethe yamaqabunga amasha

• Ukusetshenziswa Okuguquguqukayo – Kufanelekile ku- amapulazi okuzikhethela, izingadi zasekhaya, nokukhiqiza kwezebhizinisi

Amanothi Okulima:

• Ukuthuthwa kwempova: I-Baldwin iyisitshalo ayizitheli futhi idinga isithuthi sempova. Abangane abanconywayo bahlanganisa I-Brightwell, i-Powderblue, ne-Ochlockonee. Ukutshala okungenani izinhlobo ezimbili ndawonye kubalulekile ukuze kube nesithelo esihle.

• Amahora Okubanda: amahora angu-450–500 (eminye imithombo ibika kuze kufike emahoreni angu-600, kuye ngesifunda)

• Umhlabathi: Umhlabathi odonsayo kahle, one-asidi (pH 4.5–5.5)

• Izindawo Ezifanelekile: I-USDA Zones 7–9; isebenza kahle ku- Umfula iYangtze kanye nezindawo eziningi eziseningizimu yeChina

• Umkhuba Wokutshala: Mude, uqondile, futhi usakazeka ngesihlahla esikhulu; udinga isikhala esanele ukuze umoya ujikeleze

• Isikhathi Sokuvuna: Kusukela ekuqaleni kukaJulayi kuya ekuqaleni kuka-Agasti ezindaweni eziningi; ekuqaleni kukaJulayi ezindaweni ezingamathafa ase-Chengdu, ekupheleni kukaJulayi ezindaweni eziphakathi kwezintaba
