mapashoni gana uhitaji wa madzi ga kunyunyizira mwaka mzima mfululizo

The third key factor is the quality of the seedlings

ubora wa miche undareha mavuno madzo
Just like in other businesses the foundation matters

As for the market I thought it was part of these factors
kwa soko ni mambo gaga gaga tu
No the market is not a problem
soko si shida
You can start farming and find the market along the way
unaeza anza kurima na kutafuta soko badae

Farmers can grow passion fruits without fear because the market is available
akurima anaeza nyala karakara bila wasiwasi wa soko
Now let's talk about the next part seed preparation

You are a seed propagator and also a farmer

Unahenda kazi na akurima elfu mwenga wanaopata mbeyu kombola kwako
Among the many farms you've visited you noticed something

What is the common issue or question that farmers have when it comes to seedlings
ni maswali higo akurima huuza kuhusu mbeyu
What is the secret to success with passion fruit farming
Ni siri hio ya kufanikiwa kwa akurima wa kunyala karakara
Why are your seedlings special and why should people come to you for seedlings
mbeyu zenu zina manufaa higo ta atu angule kwenu
Passion fruit is a tricky plant to grow but also very easy if you do things the right way
Matunda ga karakara si rahisi kunyala lakini pia ni rahisi ukihenda vitu njira mbidzo
For example you might see a passion fruit plant growing naturally perhaps because birds dropped seeds there
mfano unaezapata muhi wa karakara umera kwa mbeyu zirizo bwagwa na ndenge
That plant might thrive producing highquality fruits
uo muhi unaeza kula na komboza matunda ga hali ya dzulu
But if you try to plant passion fruits on your farm even using the same seeds the results may not be as good
ukihumira mbeyu zizo undapata kaindakupa mazao madzo
This happens because passion fruit is affected by diseases and these diseases spread easily
sababu hukala mumea wa karakara huvamiwa rahisi na makongo
The diseases are carried by insects or other things around the farm
makongo gaga hurehwa na vidudu virivyo mundani
When you grow only passion fruits the pests will focus on your crops making it harder to control the problem
ukinyala karakara hakeye vidudu vindavamia na indakala vigumu kuviomboza
Thats why its important to start the right way and take good care of the plants
ni muhimu kuhumira mbinu inayofaa
We don't just use any seeds to grow passion fruits
kafuhumira mboyu zozosi kunyala karakara
There are two types of seeds we work with the rootstock and the scion
hunahumira aina mbiri za mbeyu Mizizi na vitagai
For the rootstock we use a type of passion fruit called bitter yellow
kwa mizizi humahumira mbeyu ya bitter yello
This yellow fruit is very bitter even when ripe
matunda gaga hukala tsatsu ta gakiiva
Even if you add sugar it remains bitter
ta ukiongeza sukati bado hukala tsatsu
This type is the best for rootstock because it has strong roots
Ii aina ni mbizo kwasababu hukala na mizizi ya nguvu
Its roots spread widely and are wellsuited for dry areas
mizizi husambaa tototo na hueza kumera kutu kuriko na ukame
These roots take in nutrients efficiently helping the plant grow well
ii mizizi hufyonza virutubishi tototo kuchangia muhi kumera tototo
For the scion we use the purple passion fruit variety because it is in high demand
Kwa vitagai hunahumira purple passion kwa sababu inahenzekana sana
We graft the purple variety onto the bitter yellow rootstock
hunatsanganya mbeyu ya purple na yellow
This combination ensures a healthy and productive plant
utsanganyi uu hutengeza muhi urio na mazao madzo
After grafting we move on to planting the seedlings with proper spacing
Baada ya kupandikiza unanyala miche kwa kuricha nafasi
Passion fruit plants are spaced 3 meters apart from plant to plant
miche ya karakara hunyalwa kwa kuricha nafasi ya mita Mwenga kwa kila muhi
From row to row the spacing is 2 meters
kwa kila mtaro richa nafasi ya mita mbiri
This spacing is important because passion fruit plants spread out widely as they grow
zizi nafasi ni muhimu kwa sababu muhi wa karakara husambaa hatu ha bomu unahoku
However from 15 meters going further you realize that the quality of fruits reduces
ila mita 15 na zaidi idadi ya matunda ganagoombola hupungua
It will be a very small issue but they wont grow well because you have overloaded them
Ni jambo tite ila kaindamera tototo kwa kala zibanana sana
You have to keep replenishing the nutrients which is not very sufficient
undakala unaenderera huijiza virutubishi ambyo kaindakala mbinu mbizo
Thats why we encourage proper spacing
ndo mana hunawasihi muhumire nafasi mbidzo
For a single post two plants should be supported
kwa mlingoti mwenga unafaa kukimu mimea miri
For two posts they should support at least two plants on each side
kwa milingoti miri inafaa kukimu mimea miri kila upande
Like I am seeing from this place you can observe the same everywhere
ninavyoona kwa nafasi ii undapata ni vivyo kila hatu
That means from one post to the other is six meters
inamaanisha kala kombola mlingoti mwenga hadi mungine ni mita sita
Now lets go to the wire
Sasa hinde kwa waya
For the wires we use galvanized wire
kwa waya hunahumira waya sisizo na kutu
We use galvanized wire because it prevents rust
hunahumira waya zizi kwasababu kazi pata kutu
Rust usually causes or promotes the development of diseases
kutu husababisha kukala kwa makongo
These diseases are one of the issues we try to avoid
Makongo gaga ndo sababu hunakosa kuzihumira
They can be managed but its difficult to handle them once they start
ganaeza ku tibiwa lakini ni viguma wakati gakianza
After you have done the spacing you plant your plants
baada ya kutengeza nafasi unaeza anza kunyala

You can also add phosphorus fertilizer
unaeza onjeza mbolea ya fosiforasi

ina baha kwa sababu si rahisi kumarigiza ri tatizo
Another thing you must add is a nematicide
kitu kingine ni lazima uonjeze nematicide
You use the nematicide to kill nematodes
Nematicide huhumika kulaga nematodes
This ensures your plant is free of nematodes
inawezesha mimea kutovamiwa na nematodes
Nematodes usually attack the passion fruit plants
nematodes huvamia mimea ya karakara
They block the uptake of nutrients in the plants
hufunga uwezo wa mimea kunyonya virutubishi
Its like they hold the plants neck stopping food from passing through
ni here huzia shingo ya mumea kusababisha chakurya kisikihe
This is what happens when nematodes attack your plant
Ii ndo huhendeka mimea ikivamiwa na nematotodes
For passion fruit plants it is important to plant them correctly
kwa mimea ya karakara ni muhimu kunyala kwa mbinu ifaayo
Follow these steps to ensure good growth and avoid issues
tuiriza mkondo uu ili kuwezesha mimea imere tototo
It blocks the neck
inaziya yo singo
It's like holding the neck so food is not going through
ni here kuziya shingo ta kakurya kisichire
Yes the plant cannot take up food
ni jezi mumea kauweza kukiza chakurya
Yes they cant absorb nutrients
ni jeri kaiweza kukiza virutubishi
Now those are the three additives I would encourage you to use
zizi ndo vionjezi vihahu ndo unafaa kuhumira
Let me take you back
hinde huuye nyuma
You mentioned manure
uhadza mbolea
