Ua loaʻa iā mākou kekahi mau ua nui i Iune o kēia makahiki, ka mea i hoʻopaneʻe i ka hana mauʻu a me ke kanu ʻana. Aia paha he maloʻo e hiki mai ana, ka mea e hoʻomau iā mākou i ka hana ma ka māla a ma ka mahiʻai.
He mea koʻikoʻi ka hoʻokele ʻana i nā mea ʻino i hoʻohui ʻia no ka hana ʻana i nā huaʻai a me nā mea kanu. Hoʻohana ʻia nā ʻano hana like ʻole e kāohi mau i nā mea ʻino a me nā maʻi, me ka hoʻomohala ʻana i nā ʻano ʻano kū i ka maʻi, ka mālama ʻana i nā hua wai wela, ka hoʻololi ʻana i nā mea kanu, ka hoʻokele wai, a me nā mea kanu pahele.
ʻO nā ʻano hana ʻē aʻe e komo pū ana me nā kaohi kūlohelohe a me nā mea olaola, nā hana hoʻomaʻemaʻe, nā kaohi mīkini a me nā moʻomeheu, nā paepae hana, nā mea koho a me ka hoʻokele kū'ē. Ma ke ʻano he koho hope loa, hoʻohana mākou i nā pesticides kemika me ke koho a me ke akahele e kūʻē i nā mea ʻino paʻakikī ke kāohi.
Ua kūʻē ka ʻuala kolo Colorado i ka hapa nui o nā lāʻau pepehi kanaka i hoʻopaʻa inoa ʻia, ʻo ia kekahi o nā mea ʻino paʻakikī loa e kāohi. ʻAi nā larvae a me nā pākeke i nā lau o nā mea kanu, hiki ke alakaʻi koke i ka wehe ʻana o nā lau inā waiho ʻole ʻia. I nā hoʻouka kaua koʻikoʻi, hiki i nā ʻuala kolo ke ʻai i nā hua ma luna o ka honua.
ʻO ke ʻano kuʻuna o ka kāohi ʻana i ka ʻuala ʻuala ʻo Colorado, ʻo ia ka hoʻopili ʻana i nā insecticides neonicotinoid (me ka imidacloprid) i nā mea kanu. Eia nō naʻe, ke emi nei ka pono o kēia mau insecticides ma kekahi mau wahi o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa ma muli o ka ulu ʻana o ke kūʻē.
Hiki ke kāohi pono ʻia nā ʻuala ʻuala Colorado i nā mea kanu liʻiliʻi ma ka wehe pinepine ʻana iā lākou me ka lima. Hiki ke hoʻokaʻawale ʻia nā ʻuala a me nā pākeke a waiho ʻia i loko o kahi pahu me ka wai a me kekahi mau kulu o ka wai holoi kīʻaha. Hoʻemi ka wai i ka ʻili o ka wai, e hoʻoulu ai i nā pepeke e piholo ma mua o ka holo ʻana.
Ke ʻimi nei nā māla i kahi hopena palekana a maikaʻi hoʻi e waiho ʻole ai i nā koena kemika ʻawahia. I koʻu noiʻi ʻana i ka kaohi ʻana i nā ʻuala palai, ua loaʻa iaʻu ka ʻike e pili ana i kekahi mau huahana i loaʻa ka spinosad, me Bonide's Colorado Potato Beetle Insecticide. ʻO nā huahana ʻē aʻe i loaʻa ka spinosad ʻo Entrust, Captain Jack's Deadbug Brew, Conserve, Monterey Garden Insect Spray, a me nā mea ʻē aʻe he nui.
ʻO nā huahana i loaʻa ka spinosad he koho kūlohelohe no ka kaohi ʻana i nā mea ʻino i loko o nā māla a no nā mea kanu mea kanu a me nā huaʻai kalepa. He kūpono ia e kūʻē i nā ʻano mea ʻino like ʻole e like me nā thrips, nā beetles a me nā anuhe, a pale pū i nā pepeke pono he nui.
Hoʻopōʻino koke nō hoʻi ia i ke kaiapuni ke hōʻike ʻia i ka lā a me nā microorganisms lepo, e lilo ia i mea pono loa no nā mea kanu e kū nei i nā pilikia pale ʻana i nā pepeke.
He mea hoʻopili aʻalolo a he mea make ʻōpū hoʻi ʻo Spinosad, no laila pepehi ia i nā mea ʻino e pili ana me ia a me ka poʻe e ʻai ana i kona lau. He ʻano hana kūikawā ko Spinosad e kōkua ai i ka pale ʻana i ke kūʻē ʻana me nā organophosphates a me nā carbamates, ʻo ia hoʻi nā mea hoʻopaʻa acetylcholinesterase.
Mai hoʻohana nui i nā mea pepehi pepeke. Manaʻo ʻia e hoʻohana wale i ʻekolu manawa i loko o 30 mau lā. No ke kaua ʻana i ka ʻuala ʻuala Colorado, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka pīpī ʻana i ke awakea, inā hiki i ka lā lā.
He kūpono ʻo Spinozad i nā pepeke nau a pono e ʻai ʻia e ka pepeke. No laila, ʻaʻole ia he kūpono i nā pepeke ʻai ʻoki a me nā pepeke ʻai ʻole i kuhikuhi ʻia. Hana wikiwiki ʻo Spinozad. Make nā mea ʻino i loko o hoʻokahi a ʻelua mau lā o ke komo ʻana o ka mea hana i ke kino.
ʻO kekahi o nā hiʻohiʻona kupaianaha o nā insecticides ko lākou pono i ka pepehi ʻana i nā mea ʻino i kūʻē i nā pesticides kalepa a i ʻole he mea paʻakikī loa ke pepehi, e like me ka Colorado potato beetle weliweli, ka fall armyworm, ka cabbage moth, a me ka corn borer.
Hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia ka Spinosad ma ke ʻano he mea hoʻohui i ka kaohi ʻana i nā mea kanu koʻikoʻi e like me nā tōmato, pepa, eggplant, rape ʻaila a me nā lau lau. Hiki i nā mea kanu ke hoʻohui i ka spinosad me nā mea pepehi pepeke kūlohelohe ʻē aʻe e like me Bt (Bacillus thuringiensis) e kaohi i nā ʻano mea ʻino like ʻole.
E kōkua kēia i nā pepeke pono e ola a hōʻemi i ka nui o nā pesticides i hoʻohana ʻia. I loko o ka kulina momona, he kūpono ka spinosad e kūʻē i nā borers kulina a me nā armyworms. Hiki iā ia ke kāohi i nā heluna borer kulina kaulike me ka ʻole o ka hōʻino ʻana i ke kaiapuni.
