1. Preparing the soil and fertilizing it. White cucumbers can be grown in ordinary soil, but they should be planted in plots with deep, loose, fertile soil and rich in organic matter. Plow several times before planting to use the sun to kill underground pests. Fertilize 5,000 kilograms of high-quality farmyard manure, 50 kilograms of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer, and 20-50 kilograms of superphosphate per acre. Spread them evenly on the ground, plow them deeply, and then make a border and wait for sowing.
2. Cultivate strong seedlings. White cucumbers can be sown in spring or autumn. Generally, in the south, seedlings are sown in March, or in June-July in autumn. Sawdust can be used to raise seedlings. Sawdust has excellent permeability, heat preservation and moisture retention, and the seedlings can break through the ground as soon as possible. It comes out, and it is not easy to damage the root system when dividing seedlings. The stems of strong seedlings are required to be about 1 cm thick, with 4-5 true leaves, thick and green leaves, and many and strong root systems.
3. Strengthen fertilizer and water management. During the growth period of white cucumber, it is necessary to combine promotion and control, so that during the growth period of the plant, measures for cultivating and weeding should be carried out in the early stage of growth, and the seedlings should be squatted until the root of the melon is firmly established, and watering should be done after waiting for the melon seedling to fall. In order to avoid watering too early, which will cause the plants to grow elongated and cause the possibility of melon formation, the main purpose is to control the initial flowering period, and to promote the melon formation period. The principle of top dressing is to apply it frequently and thinly. After harvesting, 20 kilograms of ammonium carbonate per acre must be applied to ensure stable and high yield.
4. Prevention and control of pests and diseases. The main diseases of white cucumbers include downy mildew, angular spot, powdery mildew, etc., which can be controlled by spraying streptomycin, thiophanate-methyl, and tetrophanin. The main pests include aphids, yellow melons, black melons, etc., which can be controlled with dimethoate, aphids, and trichlorfon, with good results. In addition, white cucumbers are eaten as tender fruits. When the melon strips grow to a certain length and thickness, but the seeds and skin are hardened, they must be harvested in time to avoid affecting the taste and quality.
