How to prevent and control cucumber fruiting short melons

Cucumbers bear short melons, which affects the appearance of cucumbers, so how to prevent cucumbers from forming short melons? Green Food Network summarizes and analyzes the causes of short melons in cucumbers and the corresponding solutions are as follows:

Cucumber

Improper melon node position: the root cucumber leaves melon node position is too low, will cause whether the cucumber is long or not. The best position for the first melon of cucumber is near the seventh leaf. If you leave the melon too early, the cucumber at the bottom will easily grow into a short melon.

Solution: leave the melon in the appropriate position, and the root melon should be removed at the right time.

Root damage: the root system is too shallow or injured, poor growth and development, melon strips are also difficult to grow. When the weather is fine, the water in the greenhouse evaporates quickly and watered too frequently, resulting in the cucumber root system can not be deeply rooted, which will affect the expansion of cucumber strips; after cucumber planting, the plastic film mulching time is too early, the root system can not be deeply rooted, and it is easy to form short melon. In addition, excessive application of compound fertilizer and improper farming operation led to root burning and root injury of cucumber, and the root system could not absorb sufficient nutrients to supply the growth of melon strips, which would also make the melon strips grow.

The solution is to control the watering times and promote the deep root system. When the weather is fine, cucumbers should be watered once every 12-15 days. Combined with the application of rooting fertilizer, increase the application of biological fertilizer, improve the rhizosphere environment, promote the injured roots to grow new roots as soon as possible, and transport nutrients to melon strips.

Excessive application of inhibitors: in the early growth stage of cucumber, the greenhouse temperature was high and the price was low. in order to delay the time to market of cucumber, many vegetable farmers applied a large number of growth inhibitors, such as paclobutrazol, high concentration of Aiduo harvest, etc., to inhibit plant growth. as a result, cucumbers are short and thick because of excessive application of inhibitors.

Solution: spray regulators to promote plant growth to promote cucumber growth as soon as possible.
