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.

Sugarcane Mosaic Virus

Wadudu: Virusi: Sugarcane Mosaic Virus

Dalili: 1. Dalili kuu ni vivuli vya rangi ya kijani, baadhi ya nakundi ya rangi ya kijani kwenye sehemu za kijani iliyopauka au manjano kwenye ncha ya jani 2. Maambukizi yanaweza kuambatana na viwango tofauti vya jani/ majani kuwa mekundu 3. Dalili za majani kuwa na rangi iliyopauka, ya njano au na njano yenye weupe huonekana zaidi kwenye mashina ya majani

Suluhisho/ Kutibu: 1. Tumia kemikali kama Atrazine,Dual, Basagran na tumia mbegu zilizothibitishwa 2. Hakuna kemikali na mbegu zilizothibitishwa kuweza kukabiliana na hili tatizo
