Olw’okuba ekirime ekirimu ebiriisa ebingi, omutindo n’obungi bw’amakungula bulabibwa okusinziira ku mutendera gwa tekinologiya akazesebwa.
Olw’ensonga nti okulima cocoa kufunira abalimi ensimbi, simba endokwa empya nga ziri wala n’omuti gwonna omukosefu era salira emiti gya cocoa emiramu okufuna ebikalappwa ebinene kubanga ebiwuka n’endwadde tebirumba miti misalire.
Endabirira y’ebirime
Ekisooka, oluvannyuma lw’okukungula, salako amatabi agamu ng’ekirime tekinnamulisa era salira omuti obutawanvuwa okusukka mita 4 okusobozesa omuti okufuna akasana n’empewo n’okwewala obulwadde bw’amabala amaddugavu (black pod disease). Gula ebigimusa okuva ku kitunzi akkirizibwa oluvannyuma lw’okubala obungi bw’emiti era oteeke ku birime mu mwezi gumu ku mabanga ga mita 10 ku 10.
Okufaananako, kuumira ensawo z’ebigimusa mu kifo ekikalu nga kiyonjo, saawa omuddo ogwonoona ebirime emirundi esatu mu mwaka okulongoosa faamu era nga enkuba tennatandika, ggyako ebikalappwa ebivundu n’ebiriko amabala amaddugavu obyokye okukendeeza ku bulwadde. Teeka ebigimusa ku birime bya cocoa enkuba nga etandise era kebera ennimiro okuzuula obulwadde bw’amabala amaddugavu era fuuyira n’eddagala erifuuyira ebirime.
Lambula faamu buli kadde era okungule ebikalappwa ebyengevu buli wiiki bbiri ku ssatu era ennaku ssatu oluvannyuma lw’okukungula, yasa ebikalappwa era oyalirire endagala mu kisiikirize oteekeko ensigo za cocoa ezaakakungulibwa era entuumu ebikkibwako ndagala ezeetooloddwa embaawo.
Okwongerako, buli nnaku 2, bikkula entuumu, kyusa ensigo za cocoa era oluvannyuma lw’ennaku 6-7, entuumu gibikkulire ddala ogiteeke mu kasana ku mmeeza enkalu era kyusa ensigo lwakiri emirundi ebiri mu lunaku era oggyemu obukyafu bwonna. Ensigo zibeera nkalu singa zeeyasa ng’ozinyizeeko katono. Zibikkeko buli lweggulo oba mu nkuba, ensigo zibikkeko akaveera era kakasa nti ensigo za cocoa ezikaze teziwumba.
Ekisembayo, zitereke mu bukutiya obuyonjo obuteeke waggulu w’embaawo mu kifo ekikalu walako okuva ku bisenge.
