Rotted leaves specter of potato planters in the rainy season.The leaves are always green suddenly blistered like scalded water.   Leaves were gradually yellow and wilt. So long after the attack spread to all parts of the plant, even tubers were rotten.If so, the shadow of the harvest failure haunts. Leaves were gradually yellow and wilt. So long after the attack spread to all parts of the plant, even tubers were rotten.If so, the shadow of the harvest failure haunts. If the humidity is close to 100% and the temperature above 13 c the spore box is easily carried by the wind. Splatter of rain water other dispersing media. The attack occurs when the temperature is low, noon 16-24 c and night 12 c. Until now found 15 Phytophthora infestans race that continues to mutate.Varietas potatoes are not resistant to all types of fungi. Care and maintenance of plants carefully the only effective way to deal with attacks. Here are the things to note: 1.Select seeds Choose s...

SELECTION OF FRESH FRUITS Picked fruits are collected in a room and selected again before being processed. Fruits are grouped by size. And in [poke between the old and the young. If there is a defective fruit, or less good should also be separated separately. Fruits are grouped by size, ie large, medium and small. The purpose is to facilitate processing. Because the time required to wipe or dry the large fruit is not the same as the small ones.   PROCESSING VANILLA Vanilla can be sold in the form of fresh or processed. If do not want to bother generally farmers sell it in the form of fresh ( still green ).   And if you want to process it, the price can reach several times more than fresh vanilla. There are various ways to process vanilla, usually each region is different. But the principle is the same, that is through the stages of withered , extortion (fermentation ), drying and storage. vanilla fruit ↓ ( 9 months of harvest age ) ...

THINNING FRUIT If the fruit is too much in a bunch, the size is small until it can not enter in the category of quality 1 which requires a minimum fruit size of 11 cm.In addition, with too many fruits, the plant becomes terforsir, weak, susceptible to pest / disease and productive age.   The fruit is too much in a bunch as well as reduced, so that the remaining 10-12 pieces . also less good fruit, defects, small, and pain should be removed. With thinning fruit is expected to use nutrients focused for the development of selected fruits, so the fruit becomes better and bigger.   CONTROL OF PEST AND DISEASE Known pests often attack the vanilla plants are grasshoppers, snails, caterpillars, or some types of lice. Although not many, the pests should be quickly overcome so as not to multiply and harm the plants. The most annoying when the vanilla affected by the fungus, especially fusarium fungus sp. Infection fungus is very detrimental, because it can reduce prod...

PRUNING Pruning on show for climbing plants / protector or for vanilla plants. Pruning the protective plants, the goal is to adjust the humidity and light intensity appropriate for vanilla.   Although vanilla needs shade it does not mean letting the protective plants grow uncontrollably lush. The environment is too dark, and humid encourages the emergence of pests / diseases that are not desirable. Pruning of protective plants is done once a year, before the rainy season. Before vanilla in the planting of the formation of a protective tree, so that forming branches of 1.5-2 meters above the ground. Selected branches are spread out so that the light received vanilla also spread evenly. While unnecessary branches are otherwise cut. The next pruning is done to regulate the moisture and intensity of sunlight. Branches that rise and look too trimmed are trimmed, but not exhausted. So the incoming light intensity received vanilla approximately 70%. Vanilla plants that also nee...

TENDANCE Planting and selection of good seeds, should be supported with care so that the vanilla plants are able to produce the desired fruit.   Vanilla care includes crop arrangement, fertilization, arrangement of climbing / shelter plants, thinning of fruits, and control and control of pests / diseases. GOVERNING GROWTH Vanilla is a plant that grows propagate. If left to grow its fame reaches hundreds of meters in length. it is advisable that the vanilla growth is set at propagation with a height of no more than two meters, in order to facilitate the harvesting and maintenance. There are several models of propagation applied by farmers, such as regeneration propagation system, fountain, or fence. The regeneration propagation system, ie the plant is allowed to propagate up to approximately two meters. Then directed down, dangle. When it reaches the ground, part of the stem is slightly diverted with soil and curved up again. So on. The fountain system, almost th...

Seeds Vanilla seedlings are usually obtained from cuttings. Although it can also be from seeds. To grow quickly, ideally cutters measuring one meter (about 6-8 books ). But there are also using one book cut .   with consequences, growth is slower.   Setek a length of one meter can be directly planted in the field, while the cuttings are only one book is generally first roared in the seedbed.After growing the roots then moved to the field. Cuttings for seedlings taken from plants that are healthy, strong, many tendrils, old enough, and from shoots that have never been fruitful.Setek taken from shoots that never bear fruit, generally less good, weak and slow growth. INVESTMENT Since this plant also acts as a climbing device, it grows further and further the branches below should be pruned. To obtain a straight, free-range climbing rod from the branch, approximately 1.5-2 meters from the ground. Towards the planting, the land that has been overgrown with pr...

High levels of vanillin to be one of the quality requirements desired by consumers. For that, in addition to appropriate processing required, also must be supported by good cultivation.   A good vanilla quality requirement is set in the standard of trade quality. This standard consists of general terms and specific terms. General conditions: vanilla fruit has a distinctive aroma of vanilla.   The color is shiny black, brownish black to brown.Polong is full, oily, flexible to slightly stiff or less stiff.   It should also be free from foreign objects and kapang.while special requirements are distinguished in three categories, namely quality 1, quality 2, quality 3. Panili quality 1: whole pod, minimum length 11 cm, maximum moisture content 35% and vanillin minimum 2.25%. Quality 11: whole or cut pod, minimum length 8 cm, moisture content 25% and vanillin 1.5. Quality 111: pod cut or minimum length of 8 cm, minimum moisture content 20% and minimum vanillin l...

  The earliest news about jojoba plants is found in the Italian Jesuit diary, Clavijero , detailing the use of jojoba by people in Baja California . But the use of jojoba oil has been known by the indians of papago before the influx of the Europeans. At that time jojoba seeds have been used for abdominal pain medication, hair growing, and for primitive cosmetics for men and women. In 1936 for the first time given that jojoba oil has unique chemistry and physics resembles sperm whale oil. While the publication in the first cosmetic literature appeared in 1942.Jojoba oil is also predicted to be a fairly important commercial product. But attention the world during World War 11 on this new plant at first glance. In 1943 it was reported that Glidden Company would cultivate 640 acres (259 ha) of jojoba, but the project was abandoned due to its long growing period. substitute sperm whale oil Serious attention to jojoba crops occurred in 1973, when the conservation laws ...

    The color of the starfruit is reddish and look brilliant. There is no smudge on his shiny, slippery skin. It's this kind of guidewas always produced by Taifur, the starfruit farmer from Demak. Pembungkusan : The main key of care is the wrapping of fruit.The fruit still nipple should be immediately wrapped with old teak leaves .Wrapping is done before the rain down.Fruit to be wrapped selected that is still smooth, no black dots. Wrapping is wearing old teak done because it is resistant to rain for two months. Young teak leaves are not durable.Before the ripe fruit, the wrappings are hole.Flats come to attack and damaged starfruit. On the contrary if you use plastic fruit will fall out before cooking. In addition, plastic translucent sunlight so that star fruit produced pale color, not yellow reddish.It is not as sweet as fruit wrapped in teak leaves. Beside wrapping, which need to be considered is loose soil.Starfruit is including fruits that like loo...
