Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Upotoshaji wa Embe

Upotoshaji wa maua na majani ni tofauti?

Ni fangasi ileile lakini inaathiri sehemu tofauti. Upotoshaji wa maua ni mbaya zaidi kwa sababu hupunguza mavuno moja kwa moja.

Mite hueneza fangasi vipi?

Eriophyid mite hubeba spora za Fusarium kutoka mti mmoja hadi mwingine wanapohama.

Kukata kunasaidia?

Ndiyo. Kukata mashada yaliyopotoshwa mapema hupunguza chanzo cha fangasi na kuboresha maua ya msimu ujao.
