Makore mapfumbamwe chete mushure mekutanga, Caribou Russet mbatatisi, yakagadziridzwa neYunivhesiti yeMaine, iri kuita mafungu akakosha munyika yekurima. Yakave yakasiyana-siyana, inorumbidzwa nekuda kwekuita kwayo mumunda uye kushandiswa kwakasiyana-siyana. Kubva muna 2023, Caribou Russet ndiyo yakasimwa mbatatisi yakadyarwa zvakanyanya muMaine, maererano neindasitiri yakadhindwa. Spudman. Kubudirira uku kunoratidza shanduko yakakura mudunhu umo marudzi echinyakare seRusset Burbank anga achitonga kwenguva refu.
Mbatata Yakasiyana-siyana uye Inogadzikana
Kusimuka kweCaribou Russet kune mukurumbira kunokonzerwa nezvakanaka zvakati wandei. Mbatata, iyo inoratidzwa nekurebesa kwayo, ganda dzvuku-tsvuku, uye nyama chena, inorumbidzwa nokuda kwokukwanisa kwayo kuchinjika mukicheni—yakanaka pakukuya, kuigocha, kana kuti kubheka. Zvinotonyanya kukosha kuvarimi, mhando iyi ine goho repamusoro uye inodzivirira kudzivirira zvirwere zvakajairika zvembatatisi, zvakaita sehollow heart uye verticillium wilt. Musanganiswa uyu unouita kuti unakidze kune vese varimi vekutengesa nevatengi.
Jim Gerritsen, murwi wezvekurima mbatatisi kubva kuWood Prairie Farm muBridgewater, akazvionera oga. “Ndicho chimwe chemhando dzakakosha zvikuru mumakore 20 apfuura,” akadaro. Caribou Russet yave kuita chikamu chegumi muzana chekutengeswa kwembatatisi dzepurazi. Vamwe varimi vanotsinhira manzwiro aya. Noah Winslow, Head of Marketing and Quality Assurance paIrving Farms, akasimbisa kukwezva kweCaribou Russet: “Inosangana nezvido zvakawanda—goho guru, mwaka wekukura mupfupi, uye kushandiswa kwakasiyana-siyana kwezvose zviri zviviri processor nevatengi.”
Maine's Yakatsiga asi Inokwikwidza Mbatatisi Musika
Kugadzirwa kwembatatisi muMaine kwakaramba kwakagadzikana mukati memakumi maviri emakore apfuura, ichiwedzera ne1% chete kubva 2000 kusvika 2022. Asi, Maine inomira seimwe yematunhu mashoma, pamwe neTexas neMichigan, kuona chero kukura munguva ino. . Munyika, Texas yakawana kuwedzera kwe38% mukugadzirwa kwembatatisi, ukuwo Michigan yakakwira negumi%. Sezvineiwo, California yakatarisana nekudzikira kukuru, nekugadzirwa kwakadzikira panguva imwe chete.
Zvisinei nekushanduka uku, Maine ichiri pakati penyika dzepamusoro dzinogadzira mbatatisi muUS, neAroostook County inotungamira. Muna 2022, Aroostook yaive yechitatu pakukura dunhu rinogadzira mbatatisi munyika, ichiratidza kukosha kwechirimwa kuhupfumi hwenzvimbo. Inopfuura 80% yenzvimbo inorimwa miriwo yeMaine yakapihwa mbatatisi, zvichiratidza basa repakati rechirimwa mukurima kwenyika.
Dambudziko reKuchengeta uye Kubudirira Kwemusika
Nepo Caribou Russet ichipa akawanda mabhenefiti, inouya nemamwe matambudziko. Chimwe chezvinonyanya kunetsa hupenyu hwayo hwekuchengetedza zvichienzaniswa nemhando dzekare seRusset Burbank, iyo inogona kuchengetwa kusvika Nyamavhuvhu anotevera. Caribou Russet, zvakasiyana, inoramba ichishanda kusvika munaKurume, mushure mezvo inotanga kumera. Greg Porter, anotungamira mugadziri weCaribou Russet uyo achangobva pamudyandigere kubva kuYunivhesiti yeMaine, akatsanangura kuti kupfupika kweiyo nguva yekuzorora kunogona kunetsa kuchengetedza uye musika zvinhu.
Barry Campbell, murimi wembatatisi wenguva refu muLittleton, anotora pragmatic maonero. "Kana iwe uchiziva nezve ipfupi nguva yekuchengetedza, unogona kuzvibata," akadaro, achiratidza kuti nyaya iyi inokundwa nekuronga kwakaringana. Maonero aya anotsinhirwa naWinslow, uyo akacherekedza kuti nyaya dzekushata nguva isati yakwana dzakaonekwa muchirimo 2023 dzakakanganisa mbatatisi dzakawanda, kwete Caribou Russet chete.
Rwendo Rwakareba rweInnovation
Kugadzira mhando yembatatisi itsva haisi chinhu chidiki. Sekureva kwaPorter, maitiro anogona kutora pakati pemakore gumi nemaviri kusvika gumi nemashanu kubva pakatanga kuyambuka-mukume kusvika kuburitswa kwekutengesa. Yunivhesiti yeMaine inoedza michinjikwa yembatatisi inodarika mazana maviri nemakumi mashanu pagore, kutanga mugreenhouse uye ichienda kumiyedzo mikuru yemunda muPresque Isle. Iko kuyedzwa kwakasimba kunovimbisa kuti chete mhando dzakanyanya kuvimbiswa dzinosvika pamusika. Zvisinei, kunyange zvakadaro, kubudirira kwekutengeserana hakuna kumbovimbiswa. Porter akarangarira mhando dzeEaston, dzakagadzirwa padivi peCaribou Russet, iyo yakatadza kuita zvekutengesa nekuda kwekuchengetedza nyaya, kunyangwe vimbiso yayo yekutanga.
Kukurumidza kusimuka kweCaribou Russet kunoratidza simba rayo uye kushanduka kwezvinodiwa zveindasitiri yembatatisi yeMaine. Zvakaratidza kuti mhando itsva, dzakauchikwa zvakanaka dzinogona kukwikwidzana nedzekare, chero dzichigadzirisa zvinodiwa zvemazuva ano zvekurima nemisika. Asi, sekufambira mberi kwese kwekurima, Caribou Russet inofanirwa kuenderana nezviri kuitika mukurima kwakakura, kusanganisira kukunda matambudziko senge nguva yekuchengetedza. Sezvo varimi, agronomists, uye masayendisiti vari kuramba vachibatana, Caribou Russet anomira sechiratidzo chekugona kwekuvandudza mukuuchika zvirimwa.
