In the hot summer, many people can't eat rice. At this time, eating a chilled cucumber can be said to be a great enjoyment in life. Eating cucumber can not only lose weight, but also obtain a certain amount of nutrients. If you can eat the cucumber you planted, it would be better, then how does the cucumber grow? Is there any good way to plant it? What do you need to pay attention to when planting cucumbers? Please read down with me with questions!
The breeding requirements of cucumber:
Optimal breeding time: Cucumbers are usually sown around April.
The best growing soil: Cucumber chooses the pH between 6.0 and 7.5. It is rich in organic matter, well-drained, and retains water and fertilizer. It is easy to be mixed with melon crops. The former is best for paddy fields.
Growth and humidity requirements: cucumber is not wet, drought is 85% to 95%, air relative humidity is 80% during the day and 90% at night.
Optimum growth temperature: The suitable temperature range for cucumber growth is 18 to 30 °C.
Optimal growth light: Most varieties of cucumber grow well under short daylight conditions of 8 to 11 hours.
Precautions for growing cucumbers:
Potted planting:
Sowing time
Sowing in early spring from January to March, summer and autumn planting from June to August. Spring sowing can be used to sow seedlings or mulch to cover the live broadcast, soaking seeds in summer and autumn or direct seeding. The dry seeding method can be used to produce seedlings in 3-4 days, and the germination time is faster. When the cucumber sprouts 1-2 true leaves, it can be transplanted and colonized.
2. Container selection
To grow cucumbers, you should choose a container, which can be a flower pot, a tub, a professional cultivation box, a foam plastic box, etc. The most important point is to drain and breathe, and the depth of the plough layer is about 40 cm.
3. Scaffolding is critical
Generally, when the tendrils appear, the bamboo frame is inserted to lead the vines, and the "herbs frame" is taken. A seedling is inserted into a bamboo pole and inserted outside the seedling. The two ends of the bamboo pole are tied together. When the vine grows tall and can't grow upright, it should be tied in time. After every 3~4 leaves, the tie rope and the frame and vine are “8†shaped, which can prevent the vine and the frame from rubbing or sliding. It should not be too tightly tied, and the gap should be inserted into the index finger.
4. Fertilization technology
In the cucumber planting technology of the balcony, the application of the base fertilizer is one of the keys to stable yield and high yield. Cucumber roots have weak absorption and are sensitive to high-concentration fertilizers. The topdressing method is based on the principle of “diligence and thin applicationâ€. After 6-8 days of topdressing, the first batch of melons are harvested and the soil is fertilized once. Pay attention to phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to avoid steepness and premature aging.
5. Watering skills
Cucumber seedlings should control moisture. The flowering period requires the most water. On a sunny day, it is usually drenched once a day, and the drought is irrigated once every 3-5 days. Do a good job of flood prevention in rainy days.
Ground-planting and fertilization: Cucumber responds well to the base fertilizer. When the soil is cultivated, the deep-cultivation and application of decomposed organic fertilizer, 2000 kg-3000 kg, 50 kg of hair fertilizer and 30 kg of superphosphate are used as base fertilizer. When the plants are 2-3 pieces of true leaves, they start to topdress. Cucumber roots have weak absorption and are sensitive to high-concentration fertilizers. The topdressing method is based on the principle of "diligence and thin application". The topdressing is applied once every 6-8 days, and the urea is applied in 5 kg-6 kg.
Pest control:
The main diseases are: cucumber downy mildew, powdery mildew, etc.; insects include aphids, whitefly, and leafy flies. It is necessary to strengthen cultivation and fertilizer management, increase the application of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, improve the disease resistance of plants, pay attention to ventilation, light transmission and humidity in the greenhouse, and create conditions that are not conducive to the occurrence of pests and diseases. In the early stage of pests and diseases, effective chemical control measures should be taken to control the pests and diseases in order to prolong the harvesting period and achieve the purpose of increasing production and income.
Hydroponic hydroponic cultivation and soil culture:
1. Cucumbers are usually planted around April (mountain, the city can be earlier, no mulch). Choose a good cucumber variety, you can sow it in a pot, or you can pay attention to the base fertilizer in other places. If you have a flower pot, don't take a few seeds.
2. After the seed has been unearthed for a period of time, about a week or so, the vine will grow out. At this time, the cucumber should be set up.
3. After the rack is set up, watering is ensured, and proper fertilization, the cucumber can grow normally, and the flowering results.
1. Selection, now some flower market can see the sale of cucumber seeds, such seeds are not known because they are only used for viewing or for other reasons, the amount of fruit is always low, each plant can only hang one Two. If you want to get more cucumbers, it is better to go to the vegetable seed shop. The seeds there are for large-scale planting, the yield is relatively high, and more importantly, the disease resistance is high, and it is not easy to get pests and diseases.
2. Sowing, because it is planted indoors, can be planted at any time. Soak the seeds in warm water for one night when planting, then place the soaked seeds in the prepared fertile and loose soil at a moderate distance, not too crowded; finally, gently cover the soil about two centimeters on the seeds. Place the pots in a warm place with sunlight to keep the soil moist. If the temperature is moderate, the seedlings will be unearthed in a week.
3. Leave seedlings. After the seedlings are unearthed, according to the size of the flower pots, the seedlings should be properly kept. If the flower pots are relatively large, two or three melon seedlings can be left. If the flower pots are small, only one can be left. The seedlings left should also be pulled apart, and they should not be crowded together, otherwise it will affect the fruit. The principle of staying in the seedlings is to stay big and go small, stay strong and weak. If there are other pots, you can also transplant the excess seedlings. After transplanting, the melon seedlings should be placed in a cool place, not in direct sunlight, and watered in the morning and evening, so that two or three days can slow down the seedlings and enter the normal growth period.
4. Management, the seedlings left behind grow very fast, the supply of fertilizer and water should be timely, to achieve thin fertilizer and diligent application, it is best to use organic fertilizer such as self-decomposed cake fertilizer water. Keep the soil moist and sunny throughout the growing season. When the melon seedling grows to about four or five centimeters from the ground, it begins to grow vines and blooms. At this time, it is necessary to ensure the supply of water. If the weather is hot, it can be watered once in the morning and evening, so that more melons can be produced. Come. While strengthening the fertilizer, don't forget to put a bracket on the cucumber so that the vine can climb. The bracket should be medium and thick, too thick, and the vines cannot be entangled and cannot grow upward. Because cucumbers grow very fast, you can use a sharp-pointed method to prevent them from growing too fast, which can also promote more fruit. The time of the top must be mastered, not too early, so there are too few melons.
