Is fruit cucumber genetically modified?

Fruit cucumber is an annual trailing plant of cucumber genus of Cucurbitaceae. The melon is 12 to 15 centimeters long and about 3 centimeters in diameter. Generally, there are no thorns on the skin, and the taste is sweet, so it is mainly used for raw food. As a new dish, it has been welcomed by the market as soon as it appeared. It has been cultivated all over our country. Let's take a look at whether the fruit cucumber is genetically modified.

Is fruit cucumber genetically modified?

Fruit cucumbers are not genetically modified. Thorn-free cucumber is deeply loved by consumers because of its good taste, delicious taste and excellent quality, and the market demand is expanding year by year. Fruit cucumber contains sugars, a variety of amino acids, carotene, vitamins and calcium, phosphorus, iron and other minerals, in which vitamin B is twice as high as watermelon, vitamin C is five times higher than watermelon, it can lower blood pressure and cholesterol, and lose weight and beauty.

Identification methods of genetically modified foods

1. Season: except for greenhouse vegetables, other out-of-season foods are easy to be genetically modified.

2. Color: what is different from the traditional one is definitely genetically modified, such as colored cotton and colored chili.

3. Size: according to tradition, tomatoes also have a certain size. For example, small tomatoes as big as thumbs are definitely genetically modified.

4, taste: traditional corn is generally yellow corn, white corn, slightly sweet, and now popular sweet corn, its sweetness is very high, is undoubtedly genetically modified.

5. Pests: all crops that pests like to patronize are not genetically modified, and crops that pests are afraid of, that is, crops with no pests, or few pests, are genetically modified.

6. Yield: genetically modified crops generally produce much higher yields than traditional crops in the first few years.

Planting techniques of Fruit Cucumber

The main results are as follows: 1. Temperature: in spring, large greenhouse and small arch shed are used to keep warm and prevent frost, and the greenhouse temperature is controlled at 28-30 ℃ to promote growth, strive for early fruit and go on the market. Cover the sunshade net in the early autumn, cover the sunny day, cover the cloudy day, and cover the agricultural film to keep warm and prevent cold in the middle and later stage.

2. Moisture: less watering in early spring (before the end of March) to prevent excessive moisture, slow rise of soil temperature, frequent watering in the middle and later stage, dry and wet soil. Rewatering at the slow seedling stage after planting in autumn is beneficial to survival, high temperature in the early stage, large evaporation, watering should be diligent, watering should be controlled in the later stage, ventilation should be strengthened to prevent diseases caused by excessive humidity in the greenhouse.

3. Illumination: fruit cucumber has strong tolerance to weak light, high temperature and strong light in summer and autumn, sunshade net should be covered, vines should be hung in time to improve ventilation and light transmission conditions, old leaves should be hit, light energy utilization efficiency should be improved and yield should be increased.

4. Fertilization: fertilizing combined with watering, using the principle of "eating less and eating more" in the peak melon stage, the root absorptivity is weak, and 0.2-0.3% potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution is sprayed on the leaf to prevent plant premature senescence.

5. Diseases and insect pests: at the initial stage of the disease, downy mildew was sprayed with 1500 times of DuPont Kelu and 500 times of manganese and zinc in nail cream, once every 5-7 days, and then changed after 2-3 times. Bacterial angular spot disease can be prevented and treated by spraying 2000 times liquid at the initial stage of the disease. Rhizoctonia solani often occurs at the seedling stage, and methyl topiramate is sprayed 800-1000 times in time. Melon silk borer spray Nongdile 2000 times solution control, avermectin control. Virus diseases focus on the prevention and control of aphids.

6. Harvest: fruit cucumbers grow rapidly, should be harvested in time and listed on the market, too late harvest melon strips are thick, the quality is poor. Generally, there are no or less melons in the roots, so that the plants can grow and produce more melons.
