KILIMO BORA CHA KAROTI(CARROT), UANDAAJI WA SHAMBA, MBEGU BORA NA MASOKO


KILIMO BORA CHA KAROTI(CARROT)

UTANGULIZI
Karoti ni aina ya mboga yenye vyanzo vingi vya calcium, iron na wingi wa vitamin B. Kwa jina la kisayansi inajulikana kama Daucus carota, na hustawi sana kwenye udongo wa tifutifu wenye pH ya 6-6.5 na joto (temperature) la 18-24
karoti inalimwa maeneo mengi sana nchini ikiwa pamoja na mbeya, morogoro( maeneo ya uluguru na mgeta), iringa Lushoto pamoja na kilimanjaro.


aina za caroti
  1. Nantes. hi inapatikana maeneo mengi na inalimwa sana hapa Tanzania. inakuwa kwa haraka na nitamu sana.
  2. Chantenay. hii pia ina ladha nzuri nainataka kufanana na Nantes lakini mizizi yake ni dhaifu ukilinganisha na Nantes.

UANDAAJI WA SHAMBA.
shamba linatakiwa liandaliwe vizuri kuondoa magugu yote na udongo unatakiwa kutifuliwa vizuri kurahisisha mizizi kupenya vizuri kwenye udongo  na maji kupenya vizuri. na pia matuta yake yawe yameinuka kuzuia maji kutuama kwenye tuta, kwani maji kutuama husababisha mizizi kuoza na mmea kutokukua vizuri.

 

UOTESHAJI.
karoti hupandwa kwa kutumia mbegu moja kwa moja shambani (direct sown), kiasi cha mbegu kinachotumika kupanda (seed rate) ni3.5-4 kg per ha. na mara nyingi hairuhusiwi kuhamisha miche (no transplanting) kwa sababu mizizi yake ni dhaifu ambayo haitastahimili kukua baada ya kuhamishwa.
baada ya wiki ya nne kutoka kupandwa hufuatia kungolea miche iliyorundikana kuipa nafasi kwaajili ya kufanya miche iwe na afya nzuri(thinning).
mbegu za karoti ni ndogo sana ambazo zinatakiwa kupandwa kwenye urefu wa ( 1.9 -2.5) cm.

UMWAGILIAJI
Hakikisha udongo una unyevu wa kutosha hasa siku za mwanzo. Karoti zilizokosa maji kwa muda mrefu huzaa mizizi midogomidogo. Pia udongo mkavu ukipata maji mengi ghafla husababisha karoti kupasuka. Hivyo mwagilia shamba mara kwa mara kuhakikisha udongo una unyevu wa kutosha wakati wote, kama hali ya hewa m yajua kali.

UTUNZAJI.
  1. mmea unatakiwa umwagiliwe kwa siku asubuhi na jioni kuupa mmea maji ya kutosha ili uweze kukua vizuri.
  2. kungolea magugu ili kuzuia ushindani kati ya mmea na magugu kwa ajili ya kuupa mmea afya nzuri
  3. kupunguza mirundikana ya miche ili kupatia mimea afya nzuri
  4. kuweka mbolea kwa kukuzia  mmea

KUPUNGUZA MCHE 
Mimea ya karoti inahitaji kupunguzwa mara mbili. Mara ya kwanza hupunguzwa ikiwa na majani matatu mpaka manne au wiki mbili tangu kupandwa na kuachwa katika nafasi ya sentimita tano mpaka saba. Mara ya pili hupunguzwa ikiwa na urefu wa sentimita 10 mpaka 13, na kuachwa katika nafasi ya sentimita 10 mpaka 15. Karoti zilizopunguzwa zinaweza kutumika kwa chakula.
 

MAGONJWA YA KAROTI.
  1. magonjwa ya bacteria (bacterial disease). ambayo husababisha kusinyaa kwa mimea (wilting), na kufanya mmea usikue (stunted growth) na shina kuoza (stem rot) pamoja na kuoza kwa karoti.
  2. magonjwa ya fangasi. (fungal disease).  kama kata kiuno (damping off) huu ugonjwa hushambulia sana miche hufanya miche ishindwe kukua vizuri na mara nyingi hupelekea mche kufa.

NAMNA YA KUZUIA MAGONJWA SHAMBANI.
tumia mbegu safi wakati wa kupanda, zuia magugu shambani, zuia wadudu wote, na hakikisha shamba  linakuwa safi, (field sanitation) ili kuzuia magonjwa ya mmea nakufanya mmea ukue vizuri.
    UVUNAJI.
    karoti huvunwa baada ya miezi mitatu na huvunwa kwa kuvuta (uprooting) baada ya miezi mitatu pia inaweza kuvunwa siku 20 kabla ya kuvunwa. karoti hutoa tani (tonne) 30-50 per ha.

    SOKO LA KAROTI. 
    karoti ni zao  muhimu sana ambalo hutumika kama mboga. 
    huuzwa kwa mafungu au moja moja ambayo kwa moja huanzia kwa  200 shilingi za Kitanzania. soko lake hupatikana sana karibu mikoa yote Tanzania kutokana na faida za karoti katika lishe.

    Green agriculture company  inakukaribisha katika huduma mbalimbali kuhusiana na njia mbalimbali za kuhakikisha mmea wako unakua vizuri kuanzia uandaajia wa shamba, kupanda hadi kwenye uvunaji kwa kutoa elimu bora za kulinda mmea wako zidi ya mashambulio ya magonjwa na wadudu mbalimbali katika mazao yako ili kupata mazao bora zaidi.

    Top 10 Health Benefits of Celery

    1. Helps Lower High Cholesterol
    2. Lowers Inflammation
    3. Prevents or Treat High Blood Pressure
    4. Helps Prevent Ulcers
    5. Protects Liver Health
    6. Benefits for Weight Loss
    7. Boosts Digestion and Reduces Bloating
    8. Contains Anti-Microbial Properties that Fight Infections
    9. Helps Prevent Urinary Tract Infections
    10. May Help Protect from Cancer

    1. Helps Lower High Cholesterol

    Benefits of celery include its cholesterol-lowering power that makes it useful for improving or maintaining heart health. Celery contains a unique compound called  3-n-butylphthalide (BuPh) that has previously been reported to have lipid-lowering action, but researchers believe celery has many other other beneficial compounds that are still emerging in research.
    In a study conducted by the Department of Pharmacology at the University of Singapore, when rats were fed a high-fat diet for eight weeks, rats that had been given celery extract showed significantly lower levels of lipids in their blood compared to the control group of rats that didn’t receive celery extract. (2)
    The group supplementing with celery extract experienced a beneficial reduction in serum total cholesterol (TC), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and triglyceride (TG) concentrations.

    2. Lowers Inflammation

    Celery contains antioxidants and polysaccharides that are known to act as anti-inflammatories, especially flavonoid and polyphenol antioxidants. These support overall health, especially as someone ages, by fighting free radical damage (or oxidative stress) that can lead to inflammation. Inflammation is often a contributing cause of chronic diseases like cancer, heart disease, arthritis and many more. (3)
    Researchers have identified over a dozen different types of antioxidants that are responsible for the benefits of celery — these include such phenolic acids as caffeic acid and ferulic acid, plus flavaols like quercetin. This makes celery useful for treating a wide range of conditions that are made worse by inflammation: joint pain (such as from arthritis), gout, kidney and liver infections, skin disorders, irritable bowel syndrome, and urinary tract infections, just to name a few.

    3. Prevent or Treat High Blood Pressure

    Celery seed extracts have anti-hypertensive properties that help lower high blood pressure, one of the important risk factors for coronary heart disease, which is the largest cause of mortality in industrial countries.
    Benefits of celery seeds include potentially helping control chronic elevated blood pressure levels. The blood pressure-lowering benefits of celery come from its seeds, which contain hexanic, methanolic and aqueous-ethanolic extracts that improve circulation, lower inflammation and help control blood pressure.
    When rats were given celery seed extract over a seven-week period in a study published in the Journal of Medicinal Food, they experienced significant improvements in blood pressure levels compared to rats fed the same diet but not receiving celery extract. It’s believed that celery helps lower high blood pressure by acting as a smooth muscle relaxant and improving the flow of calcium and potassium into and out of cells. Celery extract helps blood vessels expand and contract, improve blood flow, and aid in overall heart health. (4)

    4. Helps Prevent Ulcers

    Here’s one of the benefits of celery you may not have known about: It can help prevent or reduce the formation of painful ulcers. A 2010 study published in the Journal of Pharmaceutical Biology found that celery contains a special type of ethanol extract that is useful in protecting the lining of the digestive tract from ulcers. Celery extract has the ability to significantly replenish depleted levels of gastric mucus that is needed in the stomach lining to prevent tiny holes and openings from forming.
    Researchers believe celery nourishes the stomach, colon and intestines due to the presence of chemical constituents, such as flavonoids, tannins, volatile oils and alkaloids, that control the level of gastric acid released while also improving the level of protective mucus. (5)

    5. Protects Liver Health

    When researchers from the Department of Nutrition and Food Science at Helwan University in Egypt fed rats celery (along with chicory and barley), these rats experienced a reduction in the amount of dangerous fat buildup within the liver.
