Row spacing of cucumber cultivated plants

Cucumber is a common vegetable that can be eaten raw or cooked. It is believed that many people have the experience of growing cucumbers, so what is the row spacing of cucumber plants? What are the planting techniques?

What is the row spacing of cucumber cultivated plants?

Cucumber cultivation needs to be planted in large and small rows, with a small row spacing of 40 cm, a large row spacing of 80 cm and a plant spacing of 25-30 cm.

2. Planting techniques of cucumber

1. Land preparation

Soil preparation, fertilization mature organic fertilizer 5 cubic meters, calcium superphosphate 25-30 kg or diammonium phosphate 10-15 kg (5-5 kg superphosphate per cubic meter, diammonium phosphate 2-3 per cubic meter). Plough the border before planting, 1.2 meters wide, more than 15 centimeters high, and covered with plastic film.

two。 Colonization

Determination of planting period: on the premise of ensuring that it is not frozen after planting, Chengde area is generally planted at the end of April and the beginning of May. Temperature index requirements: the lowest night temperature is higher than 5 ℃, and the soil temperature at 0-10 cm is higher than 12 ℃. Cucumbers in autumn open field are direct seeded. The planting was carried out according to the plant-row spacing above and was planted in dark water.

3. Field management

Insert frame: insert the frame as early as possible after planting, prevent the wind to draw seedlings, the insert frame can use flower rack or herringbone frame, about 8-10 cm away from the root.

Binding vine: using the "8" word method to bind the vine to prevent the abrasion and sagging of the stem vine. Every 2-3 knots, should be carried out in the afternoon, the stem is easy to break in the morning, the tightness of the binding vine should be strong and help the weak, the plants with strong growth potential should be tied up a little tighter, and the height of the growing point should be consistent.

Pruning and pinching: the main vine should remove all the side branches, the side vine should leave one or two leaves pinching after the melon, and knock off all tendrils. When the stem exceeds the shelf head, it should be pinched in time to promote the growth of the lower melon, and the method of twisting the tip can also be taken to restrain the growth of the upper part.

Water and fertilizer: timely watering and ploughing, the amount of water and the number of times depend on the weather and growth period. Slow seedling water is irrigated 5-7 days after planting; water control, ploughing and squatting before setting melon; watering and accelerating melon water when root melon is 10-12 cm long; watering every 5-7 days in fruit period. The principle of topdressing is light in front and heavy after a small amount of fertilizer is applied after root melon sitting, and full melon fertilizer is carried out after root melon harvest. Promote the use of organic fertilizer topdressing.

In the process of cucumber cultivation, controlling the row spacing is the first step of success. I hope the above content can help you all.
