YINTONI UKUTHENGA IMINATHI?

Iminatha yezinambuzane iyakhusela umnatha wesithintelo ngokuqhelekileyo yenziwe ngepoly ephothiweyo. Yenzelwe ukuthintela izinambuzane ezitshabalalisayo kwizityalo ezixabisekileyo zemarike, imithi, neentyatyambo. Izinambuzane ezitshabalalisayo zingenza umonakalo ngqo emagqabini nakwiziqhamo zezityalo, zibangele izifo, kwaye zikhokelela kwizivuno eziphantsi.

Iminatha yezinambuzane iyilelwe ukugcina izinambuzane ezitshabalalisayo, ngelixa ivumela ukuhamba komoya okufanelekileyo kunye nokungena kwamanzi kwimingxuma emincinci yomnatha. Umnatha ukhusela kwizinambuzane, amaxhama kunye neempuku, kunye nomonakalo kwimozulu egqithisileyo njengesichotho.

Ubungakanani bomnatha buyohluka phakathi kweempawu kwaye ngokuqhelekileyo ukhethwa ngokuxhomekeke kwisinambuzane onqwenela ukusikhupha okanye zeziphi izitshabalalisi eziqhelekileyo kwindawo yakho. Umnatha ulinganiswa ngenani lemingxuma kwi-intshi enye yomgca womnatha. 

IIMPAWU ZOKUTHENGA IMINATHA

Iminatha yezinambuzane ikhusela izityalo ngokukhuphela ecaleni. Ezinye inethi zinokuqulatha izongezo ezinceda ukwandisa ukusebenza kwazo ngokuchasene nezinambuzane. Iindidi ezitsha zomnatha womnatha zinokubandakanya izongezo ze-optical ezifana nemicu ye-aluminiyam yokubonisa ukukhanya. Umnatha wezinambuzane uvumela ukunyuka komoya xa kuthelekiswa neplastiki ngelixa ukhusela izityalo. Xa usebenzisa isefu sesinambuzane njengesigqumathelo somqolo, amanzi aphuma emvuleni nakwizitshizi eziphezu kwentloko asakwazi ukufikelela kwizityalo. 

THINTELA I-THRIPS EKUNGENENI EKUBENI

Ukongeza, i-mesh ibonelela ngomqobo kuzo naziphi na izinambuzane ezenza ukuba zidlule umqobo we-UV. 

• 0.78 X 0.25 mm imingxuma
• Ukhuseleko lwamehlo
• Iminyaka emi-5 yokuchasana kwe-UV
• Ikhusela kwiimpukane ezimhlophe, iintwala, iimpukane zeziqhamo kunye nabasebenzi basemgodini amagqabi

Olu hlobo lobuchwephesha lusebenza njengomaleko owongeziweyo wokukhusela izityalo zakho ngaphandle kokusetyenziswa kwezibulali-zinambuzane eziyingozi. Imicu yeAluminiyam yongezwa kwinethi ukuze isebenze njengolunye umaleko wokhuselo. Imicu isasaza ukukhanya, nto leyo emfamekisa izinambuzane ezitshabalalisayo phambi kokuba zingene kwisefu.

Olu phawu lubonakalisa kwakhona lupholisa izityalo ngomthunzi kunye nokusabalalisa ukukhanya. Ukuzinzisa kwe-UV kunye nezongezo ezichasene nothuli zongezwa ukukhusela umnatha ekuwohlokeni. Izongezo ezifanayo zongezwa kwizigqubuthelo zeplasitiki ezikumgangatho ophezulu.

UKUGCINA IZIGANEKO EZINZUZO KWIGREENHOUSE YAKHO

Iseti yezinambuzane ingasetyenziselwa ukugcina izinambuzane eziluncedo ngaphakathi kwindlu yakho eluhlaza okanye kwindlu yehupula. Olunye uhlaselo lwezinambuzane, njengezinambuzane zesigcawu kunye neentwala, zinokulawulwa ngokubeka ngabom izilwanyana ezitya izinambuzane ngaphakathi kwendawo yakho yokukhula. Zombini iiladybugs kunye nemibungu eluhlaza yelacewing zibalaseleyo ekulawuleni uhlaselo lwezinambuzane ezinomzimba othambileyo. Nangona kunjalo uhlobo lwabantu abadala bazo zombini ezi zilwanyana zithandekayo kwaye ziluncedo ziyakubhabha zimke ukuba indawo yokuhlala ayifanelekanga. 

Ukufaka nayiphi na impepho kwindlu yakho yehupula ngesefu yezinambuzane kuya kuthintela abantu abadala ekubhabheni kwaye bahlale betyisa kwaye bebeka amaqanda apho uwadinga khona. Uninzi lweentlobo zabantu abadala zezinambuzane eziluncedo zifuna ukufikelela kwipollen kunye nencindi ukuze zizale. Ukuba ufuna ukuba bavelise izizukulwana ezongezelelweyo kwi-greenhouse yakho kuya kufuneka unikeze le fula.

Plant Protection for Hoop Houses and Greenhouses

Insect netting can be installed in a greenhouse using a intwasahlobo kunye nenkqubo yetshaneli yokutshixa ukubonelela ngekhusi lomnatha elinomphetho ococekileyo kuzo nakuphi na ukuvuleka okunje ngeentunja, iingcango, kunye neendonga ezisecaleni. Ingasetyenziselwa ukwenza iingcango zesikrini zokungenisa umoya owongezelelweyo. Ukugquma imingxuma ngenetha kuvumela izityalo zakho ukuba zifumane umoya owongezelelekileyo eziwufunayo ngelixa zikhuselwe kwizinambuzane ezitshabalalisayo. 

Install the netting on the inside of the structure, from the baseboards to the hipboards  as part of a vented sidewall for effective barrier blocks. When installed on the sidewalls, the crank will roll up the plastic to allow air flow ventilation while the screen of the mesh remains to exclude insects for plant protection. Isefu esecaleni kwezinambuzane ifumaneka ngobude obuninzi ukuze ilingane isayizi yakho yegreenhouse. 

Umnatha ochasene nezinambuzane

Ukukhusela iRow Crown ngeMesh Netting

Izinambuzane zenza buthathaka kwaye zonakalisa izityalo zemarike. Ukongeza iminatha yezinambuzane ezinenatha kwinkqubo yakho yolawulo lwezinambuzane kunokunceda ukuthoba okanye kude kuphelise imfuno yezibulali zinambuzane ngemichiza yokukhusela izityalo. Oku kuthetha ukwanda kwamanqanaba emveliso kwifama yakho kunye nemveliso egqibeleleyo kubathengi bakho. 

Netting is laid out over rows and anchored with sand bags or rocks while avoiding any gaps for insects to penetrate. While the netting is light enough to be applied directly on top of crops, row cover support hoops made with a hoop bender can be added for better results. 

Kufuneka kufakwe nini inethi yezinambuzane?

Isefu yezinambuzane kufuneka ifakwe kwangoko ngexesha lonyaka kangangoko. Oku kukhulisa ukhuseleko ngelixa unciphisa amathuba okubambisa izinambuzane ezitshabalalisayo ngempazamo kwizityalo zakho ezixabisekileyo. 

Kwiimeko ezininzi inetha ifakwa msinyane nje emva kokuba izityalo zintshulile okanye emva nje kokutyala ngokutsha. Ngale ndlela zikhuselwa ngexesha elibalulekileyo lokukhula kwezityalo kwaye inetha inokususwa xa izityalo ziqalisa ukudubula. Ukususa isefu njengoko imveliso yeentyatyambo iqala kuvumela ukusasazwa ngokufanelekileyo kwezityalo kwaye kwandisa amathuba okuba izinambuzane eziluncedo zifike ngaphambi kokuba izitshabalalisi zifike. 

Ukusebenzisa iNatha yezinambuzane kwiMveliso yeMbewu

Isefu yezinambuzane ingasetyenziselwa ukuqulatha izinto ezihambisa ipoleni kunye nezinambuzane eziluncedo kumqolo. Oku kuluncedo kwabo bakhulisela imveliso yembewu njengoko ukusasazwa kwembewu ngokunqamlezayo kunqabile. Ukuze oku kusebenze ngokufanelekileyo kungcono ukwenza iihupula ezibonelela ngegumbi lokubhabha phezu kwezityalo onqwenela ukuzisa ipoleni kwaye ungenise i-pollinators kumqolo ogqunyiweyo. 

Kungenjalo unokugquma yonke imiqolo yeentlobo ezinxulumeneyo ngaphandle kwalowo unqwenela ukugcina imbewu kuyo kangangeveki kwaye emva koko utshintshele kumqolo oza kuwugcina. Oku kunceda ekuqinisekiseni ukuba imbewu egciniweyo ayinakufaneka ukuba idluliselwe ipoleni ngexa usalindele ukuba iintloko zembewu zikhule.  

UKUSEBENZISA IHHULUBE UKUFAKA INENATHA NGEZIZAMBU

Iihupula ezixhasa i-row cover zinceda ukugcina isefu sesinambuzane sikhuselekile kwaye sibambelele kwimiqolo. Ulwakhiwo olongeziweyo luyanceda ngexesha lonyaka njengoko ususa ngokuqhubekayo kwaye utshintsha inetha ngexesha lokuvuna kunye nokuhlakula rhoqo. Zisebenza njengesikhokelo somnatha lo gama zikhusela izityalo kwii-snags zenetha kunye nokonakala kwezityalo.

Small hoops can be made out of fiberglass or a heavy-gauge wire. They are designed to stick into the dirt on either side of the row, in an arch shape. The hoops provide structure for the netting to rest, preventing damage as the netting and the plants have a buffer. For larger scale plant protection hoops can be made from ½ inch or ¾ inch EMT tubing using one of our ihoop benders. Izigqubuthelo zomqolo kunye neseti yezinambuzane zinokukhuselwa kusetyenziswa wethu qhwaba kwiiclamps. Qaphela ukuzisa isefu ngokupheleleyo emhlabeni kwaye uqinise iankile emazantsi ngamatye, isigcina-kufuma okanye iingxowa zesanti ukuthintela izinambuzane ezitshabalalisayo ukuba zingene kwizithuba.

Gquma izityalo zakho kumonakalo wezinambuzane

Ukusebenzisa izigqubuthelo zomqolo njengaye inethi yezinambuzane okanye iingubo zeqabaka will help reduce plant diseases that are spread by insects as well as ensure blemish free vegetables and flowers. Applying covers at the right stage of growth will give your crops the best protection you can offer. These covers are easy to apply and can be folded away and stored during the off season for years of use. Properly used row covers make an excellent addition to your farms IPM (Integrated Pest Management) strategy.
