II. Key points of cucumber cultivation techniques

1. Land selection and preparation

Choose suitable acidity and alkalinity, deep soil, good drainage permeability, flat land planting rich in organic matter, can not be planted with the same kind or together, it is best to use high ridge and deep furrow planting, generally ditch depth of more than 20 cm, ridge width of about 1 to 1.5 meters, sitting north to south, plant spacing of more than 20 cm.

2. Sowing and raising seedlings

It is best to sow seeds before March in early spring. Spring is usually sown with plastic film after budding. Stir in hot water at 50 to 60 degrees for about 10 to 15 minutes to kill bacteria. Soak in warm water of about 30 degrees for about 5 hours, drain the water, scrub the surface dust, etc., and finally put it into a 25-degree incubator for sprouting. During this period, you have to spray water every two hours to keep warm and moisturize. It sprouted about a day later. Summer cultivation is mostly between June and August, generally using bubble seed direct seeding. Seedlings grow to two true leaves, you can transplant, generally in the sunny afternoon, after watering the seedlings, be careful not to damage the root system, transplant with soil as far as possible.

3. Fertilizer and water management

The base fertilizer, which accounts for about 60% of the whole year, is applied before planting. The base fertilizer is generally based on rotten farm organic fertilizer, which is generally applied during soil preparation and deep ploughing.
