Cucumber planting methods include land preparation, sowing, planting, management techniques such as branch pinching, fertilizer management.

A, cucumber planting methods

1, land preparation

Selected plots of land to do a good job of clearing the garden, and then let the sunshine for more than three days, in order to facilitate the watering, you can do the beds, the height of 30 centimeters, the face of the width of 130 centimeters, the width of the ditch is 30 centimeters, and at the same time, to use a fully rotted organic fertilizers, such as composted cow manure, chicken manure soybean cake, etc.

If you use compost, use 2 tons per acre, if you use pig and cow manure, use 1.5 tons per acre, if you use soybean cake, use 500 pounds per acre, if it is a variety of organic fertilizers in accordance with the proportion of the heap, you need to add 50 pounds of potassium superphosphate, if the soil is acidic, an acre of ground, but also the use of 80 pounds of lime, used to regulate the soil, which will promote the absorption of cucumbers on the nutrients.

2, sowing

If it is direct sowing, an acre of land using about 280 grams of seed, if it is a seedling, an acre of land using 130 grams of seed, the seedbed should be drenched before planting, if it is direct sowing, the density must be reasonable, digging holes in the beds, the depth of 2 centimeters.

If the seeds are not germinated, a hole planted 3, if the seeds have been germinated, a hole planted 2, the density can be in accordance with ten centimeters by seven centimeters to plant, after planting cover with one centimeter of soil, and then spray water, at the same time, to spray pesticides to prevent and control seedling diseases and insect pests, cover the mulch, but also to make the shading net to cool down and moisturize.

3, planting

Sprouts can be sprayed twice a day, about five days after planting can be seedlings, cucumber seedlings can be removed after the sun screen, seedlings are prone to blight and sudden collapse disease can be used when necessary 800 times the 75% of the Dixon, or 500 times the 30% of the Soil Bacteria Qing spray control.

Anti-seasonal planting should do a good job of heat preservation, timely ventilation and cooling, to prevent the temperature is too high, resulting in the growth of futile, before the emergence of seedlings daytime temperature control at about 28 degrees, the night temperature control at about 18 degrees, after the emergence of seedlings daytime temperature control at about 25 degrees, the night temperature control at about 15 degrees.

Two, the management of cucumber technology

1, the whole branch pinch

Cucumber's growth rate is faster, pruning too little will make it appear futile phenomenon, affecting the flowering and fruiting, breeding period to cut the results of the main vine of the lateral branches, and retain the melon side of the vine of the two leaves, will be cut out of the remaining branches and leaves and tendrils, and the cucumber fruiting, the results of the branch of the vine on top of the shoots pinched off, and the fruit. The nutrients will be concentrated.

2, fertilizer management

Cucumber on the water demand is small, drought-tolerant, day-to-day management can not water, to avoid waterlogged plants rot, but continuous dry weather, to be for the cucumber regular watering small water, to keep the soil moist, and in the seedling period, the first flowering period, the fruit period to be for the cucumber fertilizer, mainly organic fertilizer-based, to promote the growth of the plant.

Cucumber growth habit and morphological characteristics

1, growth habit

Cucumber is cucumber, cucurbitaceae annual trailing or climbing herbs, belonging to the summer throughout China, one of the main vegetables, and its like sunny, warm and humid environment, intolerant of cold and heat, the growth of the appropriate temperature in the 10-32 degrees. 32 degrees, suitable for planting in the soil layer of loose fertile soil.

2, morphological characteristics

Cucumber stems and branches with grooves, the surface is covered with white rough hard hairs, tendrils slender, petiole 10-20 cm long, membranous leaf blade is broadly ovate-cordate, the edge of the edge is sometimes ciliate, the male flowers are usually clustered in the axil of the leaf, female flowers solitary or clustered.

The fruit is oblong or cylindrical, 10-50 cm long, yellow or green when ripe, with a rough surface, verrucose with prickly points, very rarely nearly smooth. Seeds are small, narrowly ovoid, white, without margins, subacute at both ends, about 5 to 10 mm long.
