Kilimo cha matikiti maji (watermelon): Ushauri na Masoko

Kilimo cha matikiti maji (watermelon): Ushauri na Masoko

Matikiti soko lake linaelekea kuwa dhaifu na lenye faida ndogo sana kwa wahusika.

Hebu jaribu kufuatilia kilimo cha mananasi.

Bila shaka hata tikiti lenyewe hulijui. Laiti ungelikuwa unalijua usingehangaika pa kupata mbegu.
Matikiti yanahitaji maji mengi na mbegu zake waweza zipata kwenye maduka ya pembejeo za kilimo.
Soko lake haswa ni pale wewe ulipo. Ukitoa matikiti Shinyanga na ukiyapeleka Dsm kuna uwezekano mkubwa yakaharibikia njiani kwa sababu ya mkandamizano na joto.

Tikiti unaisafirisha popote pale cha msingi ujue jinsi ya kuzipakia
 
Samahanini wanajukwaa ,nna mzigo wamatikiti hapa dar,naombeni ushauri wa masoko.Asantheni.

Matikiti ni matunda, japo tunasema ni mboga kutokana na njia zinazotumika kuyazalsha kwan siyo tofaut na mboga.

Matunda yanaanza kukomaa kuanzia siku 80-120 kufuatana na aina, kama sugarbaby inakomaa mapema. Na il kupata matunda makubwa na yenye ubora, tunashaur kwa mti mmoja usiwe na matunda zaidi ya matano ambayo interval ya kuvuna ni siku hadi 10 kwani uvunaj ni had miezi miwil kwa mti mmoja. Hector 1=8-12 tan za matunda.

Kwa maswali zaidi kuhusu kilimo cha mazao tuwasiliane.

Naomba kukuliza. Kabla ya kupanda mbegu za tikiti ni lazima kuziloweka kwa muda? Kama kweli nikwamuda gani?

Dear Sir

Soil:Watermelons can be grown on well-drained sandy to sandy loam, medium black soils rich in organic matter. Alluvial soil along the river beds is also good for production of watermelons. A pH range of 6.0-7.0 is considered as optimum.

Climate:Watermelon is a warm season crop grown mainly in sub-tropical and hot-arid regions. The crop requires dry weather with abundant sunshine for quality fruit production. Watermelons are susceptible to light frost and are provided with partial protection if grown during winter months. Temperature range of 24-27° C is considered as optimum for the growth of the vines. Cool nights and warm days are ideal for accumulation of sugars in the fruits. The seed germinates best when temperatures are higher than
20° C. High humidity at the time of vegetative growth renders the crop susceptible to various fungal diseases.



irrigation
Usually pits, ridges or beds are irrigated a day or two prior to planting of seeds and the next irrigation, preferably light, is given 4 or 5 days after planting of seeds. Subsequently the irrigation is given at weekly intervals.In spring-summer crop, frequency of irrigation is very important as water stress during fruit development leads to fruit cracking. Mulching of the hills after sowing reduces moisture loss at the time of emergence and prevents crust formation. It is necessary to keep the moisture well maintained at the root zone, to promote rapid taproot development. Application of water should be restricted to the base of the plant or root zone to avoid wetting of the vines or vegetative parts, especially when flowering, fruit
set and fruit development are in progress. Frequent wetting of stems, leaves and developing fruits will promote diseases and rotting of fruits. Frequency of irrigation is reduced when the fruits reach near maturity while it is completely stopped at harvesting stage.

manuring
The fertilizer doses to be applied depend on variety, fertility of soil, climate and season of planting. Generally well decomposed FYM (15-20 t/ha) is mixed with the soil during ploughing. The recommended dose of fertilizer to be applied per hectare is 100 kg N, 50 kg P2 O5 and 50 kg K2 O. Half the N and entire P & K should be applied before planting. The balance N is given 30-35 days after planting. The fertilizer is applied in a ring at 6-7 cm from the base of the stem. It is better to complete all the fertilizer applications just before the fruit set.
For increasing the percentage of female flowers, NAA (100 ppm) is sprayed once at two-leaf stage and the same is repeated after 6-7 days.Gap Filling and Thinning
Under ideal conditions, the seeds germinate within 8-10 days after sowing. One to two healthy seedlings are retained at each spot while the rest are removed or used for gap filling.

Weed Control
Depending upon the season about 2-3 weeding operations is required. The first weeding should be done 20-25 days after sowing while subsequent weeding are done at an interval of one month. When the vines start spreading, weeding in between the rows, or ridges, becomes unnecessary since vine growth can smother the weeds.

Pinching
n watermelon, apical shoots are pinched when the vines are 1m while allowing the side shoots to grow. This practice gives significantly higher fruit yield. At the initial stages of fruit setting, malformed, diseased and damaged fruits are removed and only 2-3 fruits per vine are retained. This results in increased fruit size and yield.

Intercropping
Watermelons can be profitably grown in the interspaces of newly planted orchards during the initial years provided there are sufficient irrigation facilities.

Naomba nikuulize swali. Kuna haja ya kuloweka mbegu za tikiti maji kabla ya kuzipanda shambani?
 
Nilicopy hiyo habari na kuileta hapa kwa msaada tu ili wakulima wafaidi. Sikumbuki kwa leo kama Baba aliloweka au alipanda moja kwa moja. Ila nadhani alipanda moja kwa moja. Hiyo ilikuwa zaidi ya miaka 30 iloyopita na leo hii nimesahau.
Nategemea kuna Wajuzi watakupa jibu.

Habari wadau nilete mrejesho kwanza.nimefanikiwa kupata ardhi maeneo ya kongowe ya kibaha .niaa ni kulima tunda jamii ya tikiti.

Nimesitisha zoez kwasabab ya hii mvua.ila wadau ninapata changamoto ,kwanza am fresh from school hivyo Nina mtaji tu na sina kipato kingniee tegemezi.

Sasa walio nitangulia kwenye kilimo wananishauri nisilime bali niwe middle man yani niwe nachukua zao kwa mkulima na kulipeleka sokoni kwa madalali kuuza.

Hii ndio changamoto niikumbayo kwa Sasa, dhumuni langu nikujiajilii. NAOMBENI MAWAZO YENU WADAU KTK HILI

Wakuu habari za jioni,

Naomba kama mzoefu wa kilimo hiki anisaidie, nataka kuwa na quotation za gharama za kulima tikiti maji kwa ekari moja katika mazingira yafuatayo.
  • Maji ni ya kisima cha kuchimba (nitatumia generator kusukuma maji)
  • Nitatumia drip irrigation, lakini kwa kuanzia sitaweza gharama za green house, kwa hiyo nitatumia mabomba tuu.
So far nina gharama za kuchimba kisima na kuweka simtank pamoja na gharama za labour charges.
Nahitaji kujua gharama za vitu kama mbolea, drip pipes, mbegu, mafuta ya generator kwa siku, etc. kwa ekari moja,
Mimi sina uzoefu naogopa nisije kuweka inflated budget au ya chini sana nikaumia baadaye.

I am humbled

Ndugu yangu kilimo cha mazao ya mboga mboga na matunda kama hayo ni mjaaliwa ya mwenyezi Mungu na timing vinginevyo unalia hivi hivi, Kinahitaji ujasili wa hali ya juu na usiwe na BP
 
Usitumie generator badala yake tumia solar
 
Naombeni msaada wana jf mm ni kijana npo sumbawanga nataman sana kujikwamua kimaisha so nilitaka nilime tikiti naomben ufafanuzi juu ya kilimo hiki ikiwa ni pamoja na changamoto za kilimo hiki pia ni wakati gani mzuri kilimo hiki kinalipa na ni muda gani mpaka kuvuna na soko lake liko VP?

Msaada wenu wadau sina uelewa kbs juu ya kilimo hiki

Yes unaweza, ziloweke kwa Masaa 12 tokea 12 asubuhi mpaka 12 jion, halafu zianike mpaka asubuhi wakati Wa kupanda.

NASHAURI TU JAMANI,

Badala ya kulima heka tano jaribu kulima heka moja tu ila fanya yafuatayo.
Badala ya kuruka mita mbili otesha mtikiti kila baada ya nusu mita.
kwa heka moja utapata mashimo 19,800.
mtikiti ukitoa tunda moja tu ukate kwa mbele ili usiendelee kuzaa.
kwa hiyo tunda moja kwa mche mmoja utanenepa vizuri badala ya kuuza 500= uauza 2,000.
Tufanye ukaua 1,000= utapata 19,800,000 badala ya 2m.

Kuna yeyote alishawahi kuijaribu njia hii tafadhali?
