Geotextiles: Upena Inika

He lole lahilahi ka ʻupena pepeke, e like me ka uhi lālani akā ʻoi aku ka lahilahi a me ka porous. E hoʻohana i ka ʻupena pepeke ma luna o nā mea kanu me nā pest nui a i ʻole nā manu e pono ai ke hoʻokaʻawale i ka mea kanu. Hoʻouna ia i ka 85 pakeneka o ka lā i loaʻa a ʻaʻole e ālai i ka ua a i ʻole ka wai ma luna.

HOʻohana

ʻAʻole pono e hoʻohana ʻia kēia uhi no ka pale hau no ka mea ʻoi aku ka lahilahi ma mua o nā uhi lālani ʻē aʻe. Upena pepeke’s main purpose is to deter insects and act as a physical barrier in doing so. It will keep most insect pests away from your crops as long as plants are completely covered and the edges are securely pinned to the ground. They’ll block aphids, potato beetles, Japanese beetles, grasshoppers, leaf miners, cabbage worms, root maggots, and some vine borers.

HOOLAHA

E hoʻomākaukau i ka moena e like me ka mea maʻamau.
E kau pono i ka uhi ma ka honua, e ho'āʻo e hāʻawi i ka lohi i ka uhi no ka ulu ʻana o ka hua a mai huki i ka uhi i aʻo ʻia.
E hoʻopaʻa i nā ʻaoʻao o ka uhi lālani me nā ʻeke one, lepo a i ʻole me nā pine uhi lālani.
Wehe i ka uhi no ka pollination, weeding, ohi, a i ka pau ana o ka hua.
E makaʻala ʻaʻole e kuʻi i nā lua a i ʻole e hana i nā waimaka ma ka ʻupena i ka wā e hoʻokomo ai.

ʻUpena kūʻē i nā pepeke

Pono

Eia kekahi o nā pōmaikaʻi āu e manaʻo ai:
- Nā hua kiʻekiʻe no ka mea, ua emi iho ka pest pressure.
- Hoʻonui wela liʻiliʻi no laila ua kūpono kēia pale no nā mea kanu wela ka mea e pono ai ka pale pest i ka waena o ke kauwela, e like me ka ʻuala, nā ʻōmaʻomaʻo, nā kāpeti a me nā radishes.
- Hoʻemi ʻia nā pests no ka mea, aia kahi pale kino a puni ka mea kanu. ʻO kēia ʻano hana pale kino ke kōkua pū i ka uhai ʻana i ka pōʻai o ka hoʻopiʻi ʻana i nā pest, e hōʻemi ana i ka helu o nā pest breakout a hiki i ke kau aʻe.
- Hoʻemi ʻia nā maʻi. Ma muli o ka emi ʻana o nā pests, ua emi pū nō hoʻi nā maʻi i lawe ʻia e kēia mau pests.
- ʻAʻole pono nā insecticides. ʻO ka ʻupena pepeke kahi ala kūlohelohe o ka hakakā ʻana i nā mea ʻino ma mua o ka huli ʻana i nā pesticides a me nā mea ʻino ʻē aʻe e hiki ai ke hoʻonui i kou kaomi pest.
- Hiki ke hoohana hou. Hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia ka ʻupena pepeke no nā kau he nui me ka mālama.

Cons

Eia kekahi mau hemahema e noʻonoʻo ai:
- Hoʻonui koʻikoʻi. Loaʻa nā kumukūʻai mua ma ke kau ʻana i ka ʻupena pepeke. ʻOi aku ke kumukūʻai ma mua o ka uhi lālani remay. Eia naʻe, ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o kēia mau kumukūʻai ma mua o ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā insecticides maʻamau.
- Ka wehe ʻana a me ka hoʻopau ʻana. Because insect netting is a physical barrier against pests, it needs to be removed for weeding, during harvest and at the end of the crop’s lifecycle. After the netting is worn out after use over one or several seasons, it needs to be disposed of or used for other purposes.
- Hoʻohaʻahaʻa. Ma muli o ka maikaʻi o ka ʻupena pepeke, e hoʻohaʻahaʻa ia i ka manawa me ka hoʻohana, ka ʻike ʻana i ka lā a me ka makani. Pono e mālama nui ʻia ma ke kula e pale i ka haehae ʻana.
- He mea nui ka manawa i ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka ʻupena pepeke. Inā hoʻokomo ʻia ka ʻupena pepeke ma hope o ka loaʻa ʻana o kahi maʻi ʻino, ʻoiai inā ʻaʻole ʻike ʻia ka maʻi ʻino, ʻaʻole e hoʻonā ka ʻupena i nā pilikia pest. E nānā pono i kāu mea kanu, e ʻimi ana i nā hōʻailona o ka hele ʻana mai o nā pōpoki.
