Igama Lomkhiqizo: Ugilebhisi we-Granny Val (Granny Val Muscadine)

Incazelo:
IGranny Val iwuhlobo lwamagilebhisi akhethekile ama-muscadine, olukhiqizwe ohlotsheni lwe-‘Fry’ ngumfuyi wamagilebhisi waseYunivesithi yaseGeorgia uR. Lane. Lethulwa eChina ngo-2007 yithimba likaSolwazi Lu Jiang ngohlelo lweMinistry of Agriculture ‘948’ Project futhi laqinisekiswa ngokusemthethweni eGuangxi ngo-2015. Njengelungu le- uhlobo lwegilebhisi olumelana nezifo kakhulu emhlabeni, iGranny Val ichuma ezimweni ezishisayo nezinomswakama zaseNingizimu yeChina ngokusetshenziswa kancane kwezibulala-zinambuzane.

Ukubukeka:
Isithelo sicishe sibe yindilinga futhi sin- isikhumba esinsundu ngokphuzi ukuya kokuluhlaza ngokphuzi elikhwishizayo futhi linamabala (lenticels). Isisindo sehhabhula elilodwa siyafinyelela ku- 7.29 amagremu, futhi ihhabhula ngalinye linembewu ezi-2–3. Amagrobu axekethile futhi ambalwa ngegrobu ngalinye.

Ukunambitheka:
uGranny Val uletha iphunga elicebile, elinezendlalelo, futhi eliyingqayizivele. Abathengi abahlukene bangazwa ihhabhula, umango, noma iphasiyofrut amanothi – ulwazi lokunambitha oluyingqayizivele ngempela. Okuqukethwe okuqinile okuncibilikayo kufinyelela 13.5%–19% Brix, abanye abalimi babika ubumnandi obumsulwa ngaphandle kokuba munyu.

Ukugqama Kwezakhi Zomzimba:
Amagilebhisi e-Muscadine ayi- uhlobo lwegilebhisi kuphela olucebile nge-ellagic acid, futhi aqukethe amazinga aphezulu e-polyphenols ne-resveratrol – ama-antioxidants anamandla asekela impilo yenhliziyo nemithambo kanye nezinzuzo zokuguga.

Izinzuzo Ezibalulekile Zokuhweba:

• Ukumelana Ngezifo Okunamandla – Umvini owumangaliso kakhulu emhlabeni ngokumelana nezifo, ukulungele ukutshalwa ngendlela ephilayo

• Ukuvuna Okukhethekile “Kwehhabhula Ngehhabhula” – Isikhathi sokuvuna esinwetshiwe kusukela ukuphela kukaJulayi kuya kuSeptemba

• Isivuno Esiphezulu – Isivuno esimaphakathi sika- 1,743–2,673 kg ngemu

• Izakhi Zomzimba Eziphezulu – Icebile nge-ellagic acid nama-antioxidants

• Kulula Ukulima – Ukunakekela okuphansi, kulungele izifunda ezishisayo nezomswakama zaseNingizimu yeChina

Isikhathi Sokuvuna:
Ekupheleni kukaJulayi kuya maphakathi no-Agasti – ngokuvunwa “kwegilebhisi ngalinye” kuze kufike kuSepthemba. Uhlobo lwasehlobo olukhethekile olunemfuno enkulu emakethe yezithelo eziphilayo nezigxile empilweni.
