Umhlabathi yindawo lapho izihlahla zetiye zimila khona unyaka wonke.Izinga lokuthungwa kwenhlabathi, okuqukethwe kwezakhi, i-pH kanye nogqinsi lwengqimba yenhlabathi konke kunomthelela omkhulu ekukhuleni kwezihlahla zetiye.

Ukuthungwa kwenhlabathi okulungele ukukhula kwezihlahla zetiye kuvamise ukuba yi-sandy loam.Ngenxa yokuthi inhlabathi enesihlabathi esivunduvundu iyakwazi ukugcina amanzi kanye nomanyolo, kungena umoya omuhle.Umhlabathi onesihlabathi esiningi noma onamathela kakhulu awulungile.

I-pH yenhlabathi elungele ukukhula kwezihlahla zetiye i-pH 4.5 kuya ku-5.5, futhi i-pH 4.0 kuya ku-6.5 ingakhula, kodwa inhlabathi ene-alkaline enenani le-pH elikhulu kuno-7 ayihambisani nokukhula kwezihlahla zetiye.Ngakho-ke, akunakwenzeka neze ukukhulisa itiye emhlabathini we-saline-alkali enyakatho.

Ubukhulu bomhlabathi obufanele ukukhula kwezihlahla zetiye akufanele bube ngaphansi kwama-60 cm.Ngoba impande eyinhloko yesihlahla setiye ingakhula ibe ngaphezu kwemitha eyi-1, futhi izimpande ezingemuva kufanele zelulwe nxazonke, ikhono lokumunca amanzi nomanyolo lincike ekuthuthukisweni kwesistimu yezimpande, ngakho-ke inhlabathi ejulile ilungele ukukhula. ukukhula kwesihlahla setiye.

Isimo somsoco wenhlabathi futhi yisimo esibalulekile esinquma ukukhula kwezihlahla zetiye.Izihlahla zetiye zidinga inqwaba yemisoco efana ne-nitrogen, i-phosphorus, i-potassium, i-calcium, i-magnesium, insimbi, njll. ekukhuleni kwayo.Izimo ezinhle zezakhi eziyisisekelo zenhlabathi, kuhambisana nokuvundisa ngesikhathi kanye nokuphathwa kokutshala, kungahlangabezana ngokugcwele nezidingo zomsoco zezihlahla zetiye.

Izimo zendawo ngezinye izikhathi ziphinde zibe nomthelela ekukhuleni kwezihlahla zetiye.Indawo ithambile futhi umthambeka awukulungele ukongiwa kwenhlabathi namanzi kanye nokukhula kwezihlahla zetiye.Uma umthambeka umkhulu, kuyadingeka ukubuyisela izingadi zetiye ezisezingeni eliphezulu, ezihambisana nokongiwa kwenhlabathi namanzi.
