1. Why do you want to pick leaves

When we plant cucumbers, in order to prolong the fruiting period of cucumbers as much as possible, it is generally necessary to carry out vine dropping. Before the vine falls, we need to remove all the old leaves from the lower part of the plant. If the old leaves are not removed in time, it will lead to poor permeability in the lower part of the plant, lack of air circulation, increased humidity and reduced disease resistance. Old leaves are also susceptible to infection and disease. Therefore, we must pay attention to the leaf picking work to ensure the normal growth of cucumber plants.

2. Leaf picking time

When picking leaves, picking time is also very important. If the leaves are picked at the wrong time, not only will the growth of the plant not help, but it may also cause disadvantages. Therefore, when we pick leaves, we should do it in the morning of a sunny day to ensure that there is no dew on the plants. If the leaves are picked in the morning when the dew is heavy, the wounds on the leaves are very susceptible to bacterial infection. If the leaves are picked in the evening, the wound heals slowly, or even cannot heal, and the humidity becomes larger at night, which is easy to cause infection.

3. Leaf picking position

When picking leaves, we also need to pay attention to the part of cucumber leaves. If you start picking leaves from the top of the cucumber, then start at about 15 leaves and remove yellow leaves, old dead leaves, yellow spots and some pests. The number of leaves picked each time should not be too large, and should be kept at about 3 pieces. If too many leaves are plucked, it will lead to serious bleeding of cucumber plants. And the plant needs a lot of nutrients, so cucumber will gradually stop growing.

4. Leaf picking method

The main target of leaf picking has just been said that for healthy leaves with dark green leaves and no diseases and pests, it can be removed. The time for picking leaves should be at least 5 days. When picking leaves, pay attention to keeping petioles. If petioles are removed together, it may involve stems and vines, resulting in injuries to stems and vines. If the petiole remains on the plant, the petiole will automatically yellow and gradually separate from the stem. Even if the wound was infected, it could be discovered in time to avoid causing damage to the vines.
