Kutunza Shamba

Sehemu hii tutazungumzia jinsi ya kutunza shamba la mahindi ambapo tutagusia mambo makuu manne (4) ambayo ni; nyasi na magugu shambani, mbolea, wadudu shambani, pamoja na matumizi ya kemikali shambani. Mambo haya manne yamefafanuliwa zaidi hapa chini.

Maize Chlorotic Mottle virus

Wadudu: Virusi: Maize Chlorotic mottle virus

Dalili: 1. Michirizi myembamba kwenye majani machanga yenye siku 7 mpaka 10 baada ya kuyapatia kinga 2. Michirizi huungana kutengeneza michirizi mingine na kusababisha majani kufa 3. Kukua hafifu na mhindi huzaliwa ukiwa dhaifu

Suluhisho/ Kutibu: 1. Hakuna mbegu iliyothibitishwa kukabiliana na hili tatizo mpaka sasa 2. Tumia mbegu zilizowekewa madawa ya kuua wadudu kama Gaucho and Criuser, ikifuatiwa na kemikali za kuua wadudu kwenye majani kama Dimethoate, Fenvalerate and Imidacloprid , panda mbegu zilizothibitishwa tu
