LESSON 5.83 STRAWBERRIES – IN HYDROPONIC SYSTEM

Soilless / Hydroponic Systems

Why choose a soilless system?

A common reason is labour saving. Harvesting strawberries is expensive. The harvest season is drawn out and it is time consuming, difficult work. In soilless installations, harvesters can pick while standing which is much more efficient than reaching over multiple rows on the ground.

The second reason is it avoids poor soil and soil borne plant pathogens such as Verticillium dahlia and Macrophomina phaseolina. When growing in soil, the soil must be disinfected. Methyl bromine is banned in most countries and finding suitable options to disinfect soils is difficult and expensive. This challenge is effectively removed when growing strawberries using soilless.

The third benefit is environmental protection and ability to control the growing climate if combined with protected cropping.

Typical System:

·         Use Supertif PCND drippers

·         The world’s most advanced dripper, with pressure compensation, no-drain feature for pulse irrigation, and a self-cleaning mechanism

·         lph flow-rate and intervals of 15 cm is generally sufficient if using a 1 peg per dripper design in long grow   

·         bags that contain multiple plants. In single plant per grow bag systems, 1.2 – 2.2 lph is common      Use for multiple seasons with amazing reliability-

Not Recommended    Multiple pegs per dripper

Helpful Hints

·         It is best to use 1 dripper with 1 hose and peg instead of 1 dripper to multiple pegs

·         This system of 1 dripper distributed to multiple pegs is less recommended because if one dripper fails, damage will be multiplied by the amount of pegs connected to it. The small savings benefit of using fewer drippers does not         make it worth the risk.

·         One dripper and 1 peg provide the best protection to your crop.

·         Similar to in soil tunnel applications, if growing from runners, we Inverted Rondo should be installed according to specifications of the greenhouse design to assist with the development of the roots of runners.

KILIMO BORA … Imefaulu kwa washauri

SOMO LA 5.83 STRAWBERRIES - KATIKA MFUMO WA HYDROPONIC

Mifumo isiyo na udongo / Hydroponic

Kwa nini kuchagua mfumo usio na udongo?

Sababu ya kawaida ni kuokoa kazi. Kuvuna jordgubbar ni ghali. Majira ya mavuno yametolewa na ni kazi inayotumia wakati, ngumu. Katika usakinishaji usio na udongo, wavunaji wanaweza kuchagua wakiwa wamesimama ambayo ni bora zaidi kuliko kufikia safu nyingi chini.

Sababu ya pili ni kuzuia udongo duni na vimelea vya magonjwa vya mimea vinavyosambazwa na udongo kama vile Verticillium dahlia na Macrophomina phaseolina. Wakati wa kukua kwenye udongo, udongo lazima uwe na disinfected. Methyl bromini imepigwa marufuku katika nchi nyingi na kutafuta chaguzi zinazofaa za kuua udongo ni ngumu na ni ghali. Changamoto hii huondolewa kwa ufanisi wakati wa kupanda jordgubbar kwa kutumia bila udongo.

Faida ya tatu ni ulinzi wa mazingira na uwezo wa kudhibiti hali ya hewa inayokua ikiwa pamoja na upandaji wa mazao uliohifadhiwa.

Mfumo wa Kawaida:

• Tumia dripu za Supertif PCND

• Dripa ya kisasa zaidi duniani, yenye fidia ya shinikizo, kipengele cha kutotoa maji kwa ajili ya umwagiliaji wa mapigo ya moyo, na utaratibu wa kujisafisha

• kiwango cha mtiririko wa lph na vipindi vya sentimita 15 kwa ujumla vinatosha ikiwa unatumia kigingi 1 kwa kila muundo wa dripu katika ukuaji mrefu.

• mifuko ambayo ina mimea mingi. Katika mimea moja kwa kila mifumo ya mifuko ya kukua, 1.2 - 2.2 lph ni ya kawaida Matumizi kwa misimu mingi na kutegemewa kwa kushangaza

Vidokezo vya Kusaidia

• Ni bora kutumia dripu 1 yenye hose 1 na kigingi badala ya dripu 1 kwenye vigingi vingi.

• Mfumo huu wa dripu 1 iliyosambazwa kwa vigingi vingi haipendekezwi sana kwa sababu ikiwa dripu moja itashindwa, uharibifu utazidishwa na kiasi cha vigingi vilivyounganishwa nayo. Faida ndogo ya akiba ya kutumia dripu chache haifanyi kuwa na thamani ya hatari.

• Dripu moja na kigingi 1 hutoa ulinzi bora kwa zao lako.

• Sawa na katika matumizi ya vichuguu vya udongo, ikiwa inakua kutoka kwa wakimbiaji, Rondo Iliyopinduliwa inapaswa kusakinishwa kulingana na uainishaji wa muundo wa chafu ili kusaidia kukuza mizizi ya wakimbiaji.
