Large space and reasonable interplanting of cucumber in the field can produce high yield and grow the wrong vegetables, but we will lose both sides.

Now it's time to sow cucumbers in autumn. Cucumbers have always been a favorite vegetable among friends, especially Cucumber in Sauce in summer. And cucumber is rich in nutrition, rich in protein and vitamins, and heat-clearing and detoxification is very suitable for summer consumption. However, some cucumbers cannot be planted at the same time.

Growth habits of Cucumber

Cucumber belongs to the family Cucurbitaceae, which can be planted in most parts of our country. Like the warm and humid growth environment, not cold-resistant, need a lot of water. The root system is relatively shallow and is not resistant to waterlogging and fertilizer, but a large amount of fertilizer is needed in the process of growth. The soil needs a slightly acidic soil which is loose and fertile and rich in organic matter.

Plants that cannot be grown with cucumbers

First of all, cucumbers belong to climbing plants, so cucumbers must not be planted with vegetables and fruits that also belong to climbing plants. Because both of them are easy to cause intertwining in the growth process of climbing plants. And in order to grow better and create competition with each other, cucumbers are likely to be entangled to death by other vines such as towel gourd and gourd. And affect the light demand of cucumber. This is either a life-and-death struggle or a mutual loss.

In addition, the growth habits of cucumbers are mentioned above. in terms of growth habits, we can see that cucumbers need more water in the growth process, so cucumbers cannot be planted with plants that have different growth habits from cucumbers, and even if they have the same growth habits, we should also consider whether they will interfere with each other. Chrysanthemum, chili, chives, leeks and so on are all fine.

It is also worth mentioning that cucumbers are not suitable for interplanting with tomatoes.

I believe many friends do not know this, especially those who specialize in growing vegetables. Because we usually grow a vegetable at home, we like to combine the two. Tomatoes and cucumbers are our favorite vegetables in summer.

One of the reasons why the two cannot be planted together is the problem of growth habits we mentioned above. Most of them belong to shallow root plants, but their demand for water is different. Cucumbers require a lot of water, while tomatoes are more drought-tolerant, especially before flowering. At this point, the two cannot meet the same demand.

In addition, during the growth process, tomatoes need to carry out appropriate ploughing and loosening the soil to promote the downward growth of tomato roots and strong roots and strong seedlings. But cucumbers don't need to be ploughed. This causes difficulties in management, and ploughing tomatoes is bound to damage the roots of cucumbers, so it is difficult to coordinate.

In addition, many plants secrete some toxins in the process of plant growth, in order to prevent the interference caused by the growth of other plants. Cucumbers and tomatoes will secrete this substance, when the two are planted together, it is bound to cause one side to grow weak, unable to achieve the goal of interplanting high yield.

And in addition to the two can not be interplanted, but also try to avoid continuous cropping, if it is necessary to continue cropping, it is best to plant chrysanthemum or lettuce between them to reduce the risk of yield reduction.

The above comes from promoting agriculture through science.
