Cucumber propagation method

Germination accelerating treatment: the seeds were disinfected with 600 times solution of 70% thiophanate methyl wettable powder, washed for 20 minutes, soaked in 1% baking soda solution for 5 hours, washed and soaked in clear water for 24 hours, and germinated at 36℃ in a constant temperature and humidity box. Sow when the seed coat is white. ?

Sowing: Sowing shall be carried out from the middle and late of1October to the early of 1 1 October. Sow 2~3 seeds on the surface of each nutrient bag, and cover it with a layer of nutrient soil after sowing, preferably covering the seeds. Then pour enough water, cover with film, and control the temperature between 30~40℃. It is appropriate to control the temperature of seedling shed at 20~30℃ after the seedlings are arched. The seedling stage is about 3 months. ?

Seedbed management: Always keep the soil moist after sowing. When the seedlings grow 2~3 true leaves, reduce the water appropriately, and the optimum temperature in the seedling shed is 20~25℃. When 4~5 real leaves are taken out, fertilization is started, and 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate and urea are sprayed once a week 1 time, alternately and continuously for 3 times, and seedlings can be gradually tempered. Spraying bactericide and insecticide 1 time before hardening seedlings to prevent pests and diseases. When 7~9 true leaves grow, the seedlings can be planted with a height of about 20cm.
