I-imidumbaBayiqembu elikhulu le- izitshalo ezinamadayimane, kutshalwe noma endle, okunesici esivelele sokwenza njengesithelo a umgodla, ngaphakathi lapho imbewu ibekwe khona. Ekuvuthweni, lesi sithelo sivuleka sibe side amapheshana amabili ukuvumela ukuhlakazeka kwe- imbewu, yize kunezinhlobo ezinezithelo ezicishe zifane.
I-imidumbaKwezinye izimo, zidliwa ziphelele, njengoba kwenzeka ngobhontshisi; nangezinye izikhathi i- imbewu kusuka ngaphakathi kwayo ukuze kudliwe okusanhlamvu (ubhontshisi, ubhontshisi, udali, amantongomane, uphizi, amakinati); eminye imifino isebenza njengefolishi, ukondla imfuyo, njenge-alfalfa noma i-clover. Lezi zokugcina nazo ziyizinhlobo ezinhle zezinyosi eziheha izinyosi.
I- izihlahla zemidumba Zisatshalaliswa ikakhulukazi ezindaweni ezishisayo, lapho zingafinyelela khona osayizi abakhulu. I-Tipas, i-ceibos kanye nezihlahla ezimhlophe ze-carob, isibonelo, ziyimidumba, kwezinye izimo izinkuni zazo ziyasetshenziswa.
Siyatholaezingaphezu kuka-700 genera nezinhlobo ezicishe zibe ngu-20 000 emhlabeni.
I- imidumba babe nengqayizivele yokwakha izakhiwo ezikhethekile ezimpandeni zabo ezibizwa amaqhubu. Lokhu kungumphumela wokusebenzisana phakathi kwalezi zitshalo kanye namagciwane Iyakwazi ukulungisa i-nitrogen yasemkhathini, ngokusungula i-Symbiosis nezitshalo.
Kungenxa yalesi sizathu izinhlobo ukuthi kusiza ukuzala kwenhlabathi, njengoba leyo nitrogen ngokuhamba kwesikhathi ifakwa enhlabathini. Kungakho amadlelo amaningi afaka izinhlobo zezimbali. I- izimbali Imidumba eminingi ishaya ngesimo nangemibala, njengomshanelo, ophuzi kakhulu, noma i-ceibo, enezimbali zayo ezibomvu.
Isitshalo semidumba esikhetheke kakhulu sibizwa njalo imimosa ezwelayo, amahloni Noma umane mimosa. Igama layo lesayensi ngu IMimosa pudica. Le legume inesici esithile se- phendula ekuvuseleleni kokuthinta, ngoba amaqabunga awo namagatsha aguqa ngokushesha lapho ethintwa.
Kukholelwa ukuthi lokhu kwenziwa njengendlela yokuzivikela, ukuze kulingiswe ukubuna bese kungakhangi ezinambuzaneni nakwezinye izidalwa ezidlayo.
