When is the best planting time for cucumber? Does planting two months later have an effect on cucumber yield?

Cucumber is a common food on people's table. It is not only crisp and refreshing, but also has high nutritional value and efficacy. Has always been very popular. Because cucumbers are very easy to grow, people like to grow cucumbers in many rural areas. Usually, cucumber cultivation does not require any technology, and it is necessary to choose the best planting time. If the planting time is not well chosen, it will definitely have a certain impact on the yield of cucumber.

Generally speaking, the best planting time of cucumber is in spring, that is, between Tomb-Sweeping Day and Grain Rain festivals. At this time, as the temperature rises gradually, cucumber will germinate faster after sowing, and the rain will be more suitable. The cultivated cucumber not only has high yield, but also has good quality. In addition, there will be fewer cucumber diseases and insect pests planted in spring. As long as the cucumber grows well, it will naturally achieve high yield.

If we put off sowing cucumbers for two months in spring, that is to say, we will wait until after the summer solstice, which means it is really summer. After entering summer, the temperature will gradually increase and the evaporation of water will also increase. Although the growth rate of cucumber will be faster than that planted two months ago, and the growth cycle will be shortened, the overall plant aging rate will become faster and there will be more pests and diseases. Therefore, the cucumber planted two months later, both in yield and quality, is far less good than that planted in spring.

Most people plant cucumbers in the open air, and the whole sowing period will be longer, as long as they can sow between Tomb-Sweeping Day and beginning of autumn. But the yield and quality of cucumbers planted in spring will be better. Of course, when planting cucumbers, besides time, watering, topdressing and pest control are also very important.
