What about cucumber deformity?

Cucumbers must be very familiar with us. They can be seen everywhere in our life, and they are also planted all over our country. But many friends in the planting process will find that whether it is family planting or large-scale planting, there will be abnormal cucumber phenomenon. Although the deformity of cucumber has no great effect on the taste, but the appearance is extremely ugly, reducing the commodity value of cucumber, so how do we solve the deformity of cucumber? Let's take a look at it with the editor.

1. Pruning

The growth of cucumber is closely related to the growth of its vines. We should make corresponding measures to adjust the growth direction of cucumber to prevent the growth caused by the growth direction from being hindered. When the main vine is not capped, all the surrounding side branches can be removed to concentrate nutrients on the main vine to improve the melon setting rate of cucumber. After picking the heart of the main vine, it is necessary to properly retain some side branches to promote the fruit of the vine.

2. Beating leaves

In the later stage of cucumber growth, some leaves in the lower part of the plant have aged and gradually withered, which has no great effect on its growth. But it is still consuming nutrients, so in order to save nutrients, the aging leaves should be knocked out in time. Then the excess male flowers are also removed in time to prevent excessive male flowers from affecting pollination, hindering the growth of melons, unable to absorb nutrients in time, and causing growth deformities.

3. Fertilizer and water

Before planting, the basic fertilizer should be fully applied, and more organic fertilizer and trace elements should be applied according to the growth and soil characteristics of cucumber. Attention should be paid to the application of nitrogen fertilizer, which should not be excessive, otherwise the excessive growth of branches will affect the normal growth and development of plants, resulting in early decline and abnormal growth. To ensure that cucumber growth adequate nutrients, in case of high temperature and drought, to timely replenish water, always keep the soil moist, too much water should be discharged in time to create a good growth environment for cucumber growth.

4. Diseases and insect pests

Diseases and insect pests do great harm to cucumber, and the common diseases are blight, anthracnose and so on. In order to effectively prevent diseases, it can reduce the humidity in the orchard and reduce the pathogen. To reduce humidity, smoke can be used to burn around the orchard with chlorothalonil to let the smoke float into the garden and sterilize it once a week, which can effectively prevent diseases. Common diseases and pests are aphids, and permethrin can be used for pest control.

5. Picking

Cucumber is a vegetable that grows more than one year, so mature melons must be picked in time, or when deformed melons are found, they should be removed in time. Because only in this way can the follow-up new melons grow normally, if they are not removed in time, it will affect the growth and nutrition absorption of vine leaves and consume a lot of nutrients. Therefore, timely removal can retain enough nutrients and space for subsequent melon growth.

The above five points are how to solve cucumber deformities, cucumber deformities will not only reduce the commodity value, but also cause harm to the subsequent growth of new melons. Therefore, the emergence of malformed melons must be dealt with in a timely manner. Appropriate amount of growth regulators can also be sprayed at the initial stage of melon to promote the growth rate of cucumbers and ensure the quality of cucumbers.
