Cucumbers are grown in most parts of our country, which is suitable for a warm environment. Let's take a look at the planting techniques of cucumbers with Xiaobian.

1. Seed germination

Cucumber seeds have a good shell, poor water permeability, not suitable for germination, so in order to improve the germination rate of cucumber seeds, it is necessary to accelerate germination before sowing. First of all, soak the seed in 25 degrees water for 6 hours, wait for it to be fully absorbed, scrub the material on its surface, wrap it with a wet towel, put it in an environment of about 25 degrees for germination, and keep the towel moist. Generally, you can take out and sow seeds in about a day.

When sowing, it is a hole with a finger size in the soil, put the seeds into it, and water the soil until the soil is moist. In the land with good ventilation and light, it can take root and sprout in about three days.

3. Fertilizer and water management

During the period of cucumber germination, watering should not be carried out. After the seedlings are unearthed, they should be watered properly according to the soil conditions. During the growth period, they should be watered every 3 days, and less watering should be done during the flowering period, so as not to cause serious flower drop. Generally, they should be watered once a week, and should be watered in advance in times of drought. When fertilizing, organic fertilizer and base fertilizer are given priority to, chemical fertilizer or topdressing is used as a supplement, and reasonable fertilization is applied according to soil fertility and cucumber growth status, so as to balance vegetative growth and reproductive growth, which is beneficial to yield and quality.

4. Set up a frame to draw the vine

When the cucumber seedling grows to a certain height, it will be transplanted to the field, and it grows in the form of vines, so it needs to build a frame when the stems and leaves are too long, and the branches and leaves grow along the shelf to avoid confusion in the growth of branches and leaves, resulting in canopy closure in the field. After one month of cucumber growth, the heart leaves at the top of the cucumber should be removed, and some diseased branches and withered branches should be trimmed, which can promote its more branches and increase its yield.
