Cucumber planting technology and management points of transplanting
Cucumber is one of our most common vegetables. It can be eaten as a vegetable or as a fruit. It is crisp and refreshing, and many people like it. The temperature is now rising, which is also the appropriate time for cucumber cultivation. So today, Xiaobian talks about the cultivation technology and transplant management of cucumber.
1. Environmental choice
Cucumbers are crops that prefer a warm environment and are not resistant to the ground. Its optimum growth temperature is about 18~32°C. When the temperature is lower than 10°C, it is easy to suffer from chilling damage and affect growth. When the ground temperature is lower than 12°C, the growth of roots will be limited. When the temperature is above 15°C, the root growth is compared. Advantageously, the farmer can determine the transplanting time of the cucumber according to this temperature requirement.
Cucumber is a shallow root plant. It has a weak ability to absorb water and fertilizer in the soil, and its ability to retain water and protect fertilizer is weak. Therefore, cucumber has higher requirements for water and fertilizer during the growth process, and cucumber has a relatively long growth period. Before the cucumber is transplanted, it must be ensured that the base fertilizer is sufficient. According to the root characteristics of cucumber, it is best to choose a plot with moderate soil viscosity and good water and fertilizer retention capacity during transplanting.
2, soil preparation and fertilization
About 10 days before transplanting cucumber seedlings, the base fertilizer should be applied first. Generally speaking, the base fertilizer is mainly based on decomposed farmyard manure, combined with application of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. The decomposed cake fertilizer generally needs about 100 kg per acre, with 20 kg of potassium sulfate fertilizer and a proper amount of compound fertilizer. After fertilization, carry out deep ploughing, mix the fertilizer evenly, pour the water before transplanting, and carry out ridges and sputum after the sensation is appropriate.
3, cucumber seedling transplanting
When the ground temperature is stable above 15 °C, the seedlings can be transplanted. Before transplanting the seedlings, the low-temperature refining seedlings should be carried out for about 10 days. The transplanting should be carried out in the sunny morning or after 4 pm. It is best to transplant the soil with transplanting. The seedlings were classified and classified to ensure the uniformity of the seedlings in the field.
4, water and fertilizer management
If the base fertilizer is sufficient after transplanting, the water and fertilizer supplement will not be needed if the moisture is good, as long as the soil is kept dry and wet. When the root melon grows to more than 10 cm, the first watering can be carried out. Generally speaking, the water is poured once a week before the cucumber harvesting, the water is poured once every 4 days, and the water is poured once a week. Combined with watering and melon, the urea and potassium sulphate fertilizer were applied once in the first half of the month, and the result was to catch the fertilizer every 10 days. The peak season of cucumber demand is basically at the peak of the results, so it is necessary to rationally carry out water and fertilizer management according to the law of fertilizer requirements to ensure high yield and increase of cucumber.
The above is the planting technology of cucumber and the key points of transplant management. When planting cucumber in the early stage, transplanting technology is very important. Farmers also need to pay attention to the prevention and control of pests and diseases and the control of weeds.
