Matters needing attention in planting cucumber

1. To ensure successful pollination of pollen

Some people are afraid that some insects will fly into the room, so they close the balcony window. if the cucumber pollination is low during pollination, then the fruit is not very good, so open the balcony window during pollination and close the balcony door.

2. Sufficient water

During the growth period, the cucumber has a large demand for water, so it is necessary to observe the water in the basin and sprinkle water in time.

3. Disinfestation

If you find any worms, catch them in time. If you eat by yourself, you are advised not to sprinkle pesticides, but to wear gloves to get rid of insects by hand.

In our daily life, we can always see that some cucumbers are planted in the flowerpots on the windowsill or balcony. Cucumbers taste crisp and can make all kinds of dishes. How to grow cucumbers on the balcony, as Xiaobian has mentioned above, according to the above method of planting, you can eat crisp and delicious cucumbers in summer!

Matters needing attention in the cultivation of cucumber, how to improve the fruit setting rate, and what is its nutritional value?

Although cucumbers are indispensable in our lives, and many people like cucumbers very much, do we know what the value of cucumbers is and what help eating cucumbers is for people's health. And if you plant cucumbers, how can you make them produce more cucumbers?

Matters needing attention

Attention should be paid to fertilizing to improve the setting rate of melon, and topdressing should adopt the principle of "a small number of times" to meet the vegetative growth and flower bud differentiation. After setting the seedlings with 3-4 leaves, spray the plant with 0.015% ethephon solution to promote the differentiation and formation of female flowers, give birth to early and multiple female flowers, early sit melon, control overgrowth and improve early yield. After sitting melon, the amount of fertilizer needed increased, especially the demand for potash fertilizer increased greatly, but for the varieties with strong fruiting ability of not only the main vine but also the lateral vine, the number of topdressing and the amount of potash fertilizer should be increased in the middle and later stage, and multiple extra-root fertilization should be carried out to accelerate the expansion of melon body and prolong the period of melon production.

nutritive value

Anti-tumor: cucurbitacin C contained in cucumber can improve human immune function and achieve the purpose of anti-tumor. In addition, the substance can also treat chronic hepatitis. Anti-aging: old cucumber is rich in vitamin E, which can prolong life and anti-aging; cucumber enzyme in cucumber has strong biological activity and can effectively promote the metabolism of the body. Rub the skin with cucumber juice, which can moisturize the skin and stretch wrinkles.

Prevention of alcoholism: alanine, arginine and glutamine contained in cucumber have a certain adjuvant therapeutic effect on liver patients, especially on patients with alcoholic hepatosis, which can prevent alcoholism. Hypoglycemia: the glucosides and fructose contained in cucumber do not participate in the usual sugar metabolism, so people with diabetes use cucumber instead of starchy food to satisfy their hunger, the blood sugar will not rise, or even decrease.

Weight loss: cucumber contains propanol diacid, which can inhibit the conversion of sugars into fat. In addition, the cellulose in cucumber can promote the elimination of decaying substances in the human intestine and reduce cholesterol to a certain extent, which can strengthen the body.

The above is what I have sorted out for you about the value and function of cucumbers. I hope it will be helpful to you. Please continue to follow the succulent flower bed for more information

Matters needing attention in spraying foliar fertilizer on cucumber

Foliar fertilizer is one of the important fertilizers used in cucumber planting. What do you need to pay attention to when spraying foliar fertilizer on cucumbers? Next, I will introduce to you the matters needing attention in spraying foliar fertilizer on cucumbers.

1. Foliar fertilizer with a lot of hormones should be used with caution. Leaf fertilizer containing a large number of hormones will cause premature senescence, yield and quality decline in the later stage.

two。 Foliar fertilizer is generally used in the peak period of melon, and the nutrients are more abundant in the early stage. After fruiting, the reproductive growth is exuberant, and more fertilizer is needed, and at this stage, the temperature is lower, the root activity is poor, and the ability to absorb nutrients is reduced. in order to meet the needs of normal melon, foliar spraying fertilizer can supplement the nutrients needed by the plant.

3. We should pay close attention to the changes of cucumber leaves and supplement elements such as calcium, iron, zinc and boron in time to prevent the occurrence of element deficiency.

4. In the low temperature season, if the growth point stagnates, the 800 times liquid of Fengshou No. 1 should be sprayed in time, or Yunda 120, Aiduoshou and other chemicals should be sprayed to promote the normal growth of cucumber.

5. When the plant growth was weak in the middle and later stage of cucumber growth, the 800-fold solution of Fengshou No. 1 was sprayed in time to prevent plant premature senescence.

6. Spray should be uniform, meticulous and thoughtful. Foliar fertilizer spraying requires small droplets and uniform spraying, especially paying attention to spraying the exuberant upper leaves and the back of the leaves, because the new leaves absorb nutrients faster than the old leaves and the back of the leaves absorb more nutrients than the front. Therefore, when spraying fertilizer on the leaf surface, both the positive and negative sides of the leaf should be sprayed as carefully as possible.

7. Spray at the right time. When foliar fertilizer is sprayed, the amount of nutrients absorbed by leaves is directly related to the time of solution wetting. The longer the wetting time is, the more nutrients are absorbed by leaves, and the better the effect is. In general, it is appropriate to keep the leaves moist for 30-60 minutes. Therefore, foliar fertilizer spraying is best carried out in windless weather in the evening. Spraying fertilizer in the morning with dew will reduce the concentration of the solution and affect the effect of fertilization. Foliar topdressing can not be carried out on rainy days or before rain, because nutrients are easy to be leached and can not play its due role. If it rains 3 hours after spraying, make up spraying once in sunny days, but the concentration should be reduced appropriately.

The above are some matters needing attention in spraying foliar fertilizer on cucumbers. Friends who plant cucumbers can refer to the above methods, combined with the actual planting situation, and fertilize reasonably.
