So how are cucumbers grown? What are the precautions? Let's study together.

1. Soak seeds to accelerate germination.

First, soak cucumber seeds in warm water at 25 degrees Celsius for about six hours, then scrub the surface substances of the seeds, then wrap them in a wet towel and put them in an environment at 25 degrees Celsius for germination. In the meantime, keep the towel moist, but most seeds can be planted after germination.

2. Land selection

It is suggested to choose loose fertile soil with good drainage and rich humus for planting. After sowing, cover the soil and then water it.

3. Water and fertilizer management

Cucumber doesn't need watering when it germinates. When the seedlings are unearthed, they should be watered according to the actual situation of the soil. During the growing season, they should be watered every three days or so. However, cucumber needs to be watered less during flowering, once a week. Of course, if the weather is dry, we will talk about it.

Fertilization is mainly organic fertilizer and base fertilizer.

Step 4: Picking and pruning

After cucumber grows 1 month, it is necessary to pick the core, remove the top heart leaves and trim some diseased and dead branches, which can promote more branches and increase the yield.

5. Pest control

Spraying 72% Dubank Dew WP with 800 times solution to control downy mildew.

Spraying 70% thiophanate-methyl wettable powder 800 ~ 1000 times or 500% carbendazim wettable powder to control Fusarium wilt.

Control of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum by spraying 50% carbendazim wettable powder.

Cucumber virus disease was prevented by spraying virus A.

In addition to the above steps, scientific harvesting and post-harvest management of planted cucumbers are also very important. If the yield of cucumber is increased, more attention should be paid to field management.
