E like me ka hapanui o nā huaʻiliahi,ʻo ka mea kanu (ka mea kanu e hāʻawiʻia ana mākou i ke kokoleka) he hale hou ia. Ma kona'ōpiopio maoli, ka pākēnaʻi kaona i nā haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa,ʻaʻole naʻe i kahi wela, kūlana tropical and tropical conditions. Ke ulu neiʻo ia i kahiʻano liʻiliʻi (kokoke i 20-25 kapuaʻi) lāʻau me ka helehelenaʻeleʻele a me kahi pahu kū i kekahi manawa. ʻO nā lau he āpau, ākea'ōmaʻomaʻo, aʻaʻole iʻoi aku ka nani.
ʻO ka mea nui loa o nā kānaka e makemake nei,ʻo ia nā hua pipi, e ulu ana ma ke kumu i ka wā o nā'ōpiopio e kokoke iʻehā mau makahiki. Hoʻopiliʻia nāʻanoʻano a me ka nui o ka lima o ke kanaka makua. Ke wāwahiʻoe i kahi hua liʻiliʻi, eʻikeʻoe i nā kumukūʻau koko nui loa i komo i loko o kahi kino keʻokeʻoʻeleʻele. ʻO keʻano o nāʻanoʻano, ua hoʻouluʻia i ka paʻakai kaola,ʻo ia ke kumu no ka balekale a me nā meaʻono he nui.
ʻO nā'ōpena cacao maʻamau ua maʻa mauʻia ke alani a laweʻia i kahi o 5 mau mahina e hoʻopiha pono i ka lāʻau. Loaʻa paha ināʻaʻoleʻoe i loaʻa nā kāpena cacao mai kāu kumu lāʻau e pili ana inā loaʻa kahi kula aʻaʻoleʻole. Aia nā lālā ulu, ulu lāʻau lau i nā hale kiaʻi ma waena o ka'ākau oʻAmelika Huipūʻia, akā, no ka hapanui o nā mea kanu hale, uaʻoi loa lākou.
Nā Kūlana Hoʻoulu
- Ka mālamalama: Ma keʻano o kahi kanu kanu aʻoihana paha, hana maikaʻi lākou me ka lā o ka lā. ʻAʻole pono eʻikeʻia ka Cacao i ke kuhikuhi, i ke awakea o ka lā, no ka mea, eʻona ana i nā lau.
- Ka wai: Ka wai maʻamau ma o ka wā kanu a me ka wela kiʻekiʻe loa (he 70%). ʻO ka hoʻokiʻekiʻe kiʻekiʻe keʻano paʻakikī e hālāwai ai no kēia mau mea kanu a me ka kumu e pilikia ai ka poʻe kanu hale.
- Fertilizer: E mālama i kēlā me kēia pule me ka wai maloʻo nāwaliwali e komo pū me nā micronutrients. He mau mea hānai nui lākou, i ka wā e ulu ana.
- Ka Honua: Ua kūpono ka māmā, kahi lepo māmā. Pono nui ka waiwaiwai no kahi kanu kanu cacao.
Pākuʻi
Hoʻonuiʻia ka hoʻolaha ma o nāʻanoʻano. ʻO ka pahuhopu no nā kānaka he nui,ʻo ia nō ka loaʻaʻana o nāʻano kalo koko. Uaʻike au iā lākou no ka kūʻaiʻana i nā mea kanu lāʻau a me ka weheʻana, akā aia lākou ma ka pūnaewele. Inā hiki, uaʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ke kūʻaiʻana i pulu hou e like me nā kumalāʻai koko a me nā ulu kahiko. I kekahi manawa eʻikeʻoe i ka mea kanu cacao no ke kūʻaiʻana. Pono eʻikeʻia nā mea kanu i ka liʻiliʻi o ka lā ma mua o ka lālā ulu a hiki ke ulu pono i ka malu no nā mahinaʻeono mua i ka makahiki. I ka manawa e hoʻomaka ai lākou e ulu wikiwiki, e hoʻoneʻe iā lākou i loko o ke kukui o ka lā.
Hoʻopau hou
E hoʻopiliʻia e like me ka mea e pono ai, i ka hoʻomakaʻana o ka wā ulu. Ke hoʻomanaʻo houʻia, e makaala iʻole e hoʻopilikia i nā aʻa ma mua o ka pono a hāʻawi i ka mea kanu i ka wai a me ka wai wela.
Ka nui
ʻO ka hopena kaoboboaʻo ia kekahi o nā mea kanu nui loa i ka mahiʻai i kēia mau lā (ʻoiai keʻanoʻoe i ka chocolate). Eia kekahi, akā, heʻano'ē aʻe kekahi o nā'aobromas i kekahi manawa. Hoʻomaopopoʻia ka sperbhober magnificent i ka hanaʻana i ka makalekaleka kaulana i kapaʻia he kāpena, a ma muli o Skyfield Tropical, ua hoʻohana kekahi mau mea kanikaliko i Theobroma bicolor i loko o kā lākou hui.
ʻO T. cacao ka mea nui, ua hana nā mea mahiʻai ma ka honua a pau i ka hoʻolako i kā lākou mau kumu lāʻau e pili ana i nā microclimates a me nā ulu ulu (ʻaʻole like me ka'ōlelo, nā hua waina).
Nā mea kōkua a ka mea ulu
ʻO ka Cacaoʻaʻole ia heʻano maʻalahi loa. Hiki iā ia ke pale i nā hola pōkole ma lalo o 60 F, akā,ʻaʻole ia e ulu aʻoi aku ka uluʻana o ka ulu. ʻO nā lā lōʻihi i hala ma lalo o 50 F e hōʻoia i ka make. ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi loa i ka uluʻana i loko o ka mea i makemakeʻia, a me ka liʻiliʻi, ka pūliʻu o ka lā o ka lā, kahi kiʻekiʻe o ka wela, ka nui o ka meaʻai a me ka wai, a me nā mahana wela. Inā hiki iāʻoe ke hāʻawi i kēia mau kumuhana, maikaʻi kāu kanu.
Ināʻoe e hoʻoulu i nā mea kanu mai kāu kanu, hiki paha iāʻoeʻelua mau mea ulu. Aia nā'ōkoʻa Cacao i nā'āpana kāne a me nā wahine, akā,ʻaʻole hiki i ka nui o nā mea kanu ka mea hoʻonapala iā lākou iho, no laila, pono kahi hoaʻana e kanuʻia.
ʻO ka hapanui o ka poʻe e ulu nei i ka kaona i loko o ka hale, akā,ʻaʻole lākou eʻimi pono nei i ka hana pipi a ulu i ka mea kanu me he mea hou lā. ʻO Kacao he mea maʻalahi i nā mealybugs a me nā aphids.
