Cucumber dumping refers to the cucumber from 4-5 true leaves through the first female flowers appeared, open, to the first melon sitting, about 25 days, spit out the filamentous thin stem.

Most varieties at this time from the fourth section of the tendrils, lengthening of the internode, the growth of the vine accelerated, some varieties of lateral branches, and one after another, the appearance and opening of female flowers and male flowers. To the root of the melon melon from yellow-green to dark green that is "black handle", marking the root of the melon has been stabilized, dumping the end of the trailing period.

The growth status of cucumber plants at the end of the spreading period, plant height has reached about 1 meter, cotyledon growth up to the maximum, the main root depth of 40?50 centimeters, has unfolded more than 10 pieces of true leaves, the first female flowers open and fruiting, that is, the root of the melon melon to the color of the color of the melon to the thick "black handle", the growth of the plant at this stage in the growth of stem and leaves at the same time, the flower buds continue to branch out, the root melon has been stabilized, and the end of the spreading period. At the same time, flower buds continue to differentiate, marking the transition from nutrient growth to reproductive growth.

Expanded Information

Cucumber dumping trailing not in time hanging trailing cucumber impact:

Cucumber trailing stems in the ground creeping growth, apical dominance can not be played out, plant growth is poor, will delay the melon time, affecting the yield; cucumber trailing stems creeping on the ground, due to the ground area is limited, the plants between the leaves each other shade.

Causing a reduction in photosynthetic area, poor field ventilation and light penetration, plant organic nutrients are insufficient, resulting in poor cucumber growth, fewer flowers, small fruits, disease; tendrils on the stem and vine are intertwined, and the later lifting of the vine is inconvenient to operate, easy to damage the stem and vine.
