ISibonelelo se-Federal Sivuselela iMozulu kunye neNethiwekhi yokuBeka iliso kuMhlaba ukuze kuncedwe amaFama aseWisconsin

Isibonelelo se-9 yezigidi zeedola esivela kwi-USDA sikhuthaze iinzame zokudala imozulu kunye nomhlaba wokubeka iliso kuthungelwano olujikeleze iWisconsin. Inethiwekhi, ebizwa ngokuba yi-Mesonet, ithembisa ukunceda amafama ngokuzalisa izithuba kumhlaba kunye nedatha yemozulu.
Inkxaso-mali ye-USDA iya ku-UW-Madison ukudala into ebizwa ngokuba yi-Rural Wisconsin Partnership, ejolise ekudaleni iinkqubo zoluntu phakathi kweyunivesithi kunye needolophu zasemaphandleni.
Enye iprojekthi enjalo iya kuba yindalo ye-Wisconsin Environmental Mesonet. UChris Kucharik, usihlalo weSebe le-Agronomy kwiYunivesithi yaseWisconsin-Madison, uthe uceba ukudala inethiwekhi ye-50 ukuya kwi-120 yemozulu kunye nezikhululo zokubeka iliso zomhlaba kwiingingqi kulo lonke ilizwe.
Iimonitha ziquka iitripods zetsimbi, ezimalunga neemitha ezintandathu ubude, zinezinzwa ezilinganisa isantya somoya kunye nendlela, ukufuma, ubushushu kunye nemitha yelanga, utshilo. Iimonitha zikwabandakanya izixhobo ezingaphantsi komhlaba ezilinganisa ubushushu bomhlaba kunye nokufuma.

"IWisconsin yinto engaqhelekanga xa ithelekiswa nabamelwane bethu kunye namanye amazwe kweli lizwe malunga nokuba nenethiwekhi ezinikeleyo okanye inethiwekhi yokuqokelelwa kwedatha," utshilo uKucharik.
U-Kucharik uthe ngoku kukho abahloli abali-14 kwizikhululo zophando lwezolimo zaseyunivesithi kwiindawo ezifana ne-Door County peninsula, kwaye ezinye zeedatha ezisetyenziswa ngamafama ngoku zivela kwinethiwekhi yeSizwe yeNkonzo yeMozulu yamavolontiya. Uthe idatha ibalulekile kodwa ixelwa kanye ngosuku.
I-9 yezigidi zenkxaso-mali ye-federal, kunye ne-1 yezigidi zeedola ezivela kwi-Wisconsin Alumni Research Fund, iya kuhlawula abasebenzi abajongayo kunye nabasebenzi abafunekayo ukudala, ukuqokelela kunye nokusabalalisa idatha yemozulu kunye nomhlaba.
"Sijonge ngokwenene ukwakha inethiwekhi ye-denser eya kusinika ukufikelela kwixesha lamva nje lemozulu kunye neenkcukacha zomhlaba ukuxhasa ubomi bamafama asemaphandleni, abaphathi bomhlaba kunye namanzi, kunye nokwenza izigqibo zamahlathi," kusho uKucharik. . "Kukho uluhlu olude lwabantu abaza kuxhamla kolu phuculo lwenethiwekhi."
UJerry Clark, umfundisi wezolimo kwiYunivesithi yaseWisconsin-Madison yeChippewa County Extension Centre, uthe igridi edibeneyo iya kunceda amafama enze izigqibo ezibalulekileyo malunga nokutyala, ukunkcenkceshela kunye nokusetyenziswa kwe-pesticide.
"Ndicinga ukuba ayincedi kuphela kwimveliso yezityalo, kodwa nakwezinye izinto ezingalindelekanga ezifana nokuchumisa apho kunokuba neenzuzo ezithile," kusho uClark.
Ngokukodwa, uClark uthe amafama azakuba nombono ongcono wokuba umhlaba wabo ugcwele kakhulu na ukuba ungasamkela isichumisi esingamanzi, esinokunciphisa ukungcoliseka kwamanzi.
USteve Ackerman, usekela-chansela we-UW-Madison kuphando kunye nemfundo enomsila, ukhokele inkqubo yesicelo sesibonelelo se-USDA. USenator weDemocratic Alliance uTammy Baldwin ubhengeze inkxaso-mali nge-14 kaDisemba.
"Ndicinga ukuba olu luncedo lokwenyani lophando kwikhampasi yethu kunye nembono yonke yeWisconsin," utshilo u-Ackerman.
U-Ackerman uthe iWisconsin isemva kwamaxesha, njengoko amanye amazwe enonxibelelwano olubanzi lwemimandla ukusukela ngeminyaka yoo-1990s, kwaye “kumnandi ukuba neli thuba ngoku.”
