Notes on Cucumber Cultivation in Summer and Autumn

The summer and autumn seasons are hot and rainy, which is extremely unfavorable for the growth of cucumber. The cucumbers grown in many places have poor growth and development and low yield. Therefore, the following points should be noted when planting summer and autumn cucumbers:

1. Variety selection: When planting, choose varieties that are resistant to heat, sputum, disease, high yield and strong growth.

2. Sowing at the right time: Cucumber cultivation in summer and autumn can be broadcast live, and can be planted from May to August. The higher the temperature of summer cucumber sowing, the greater the impact on plant growth, and should be broadcast early. Autumn cucumber sowing can not be too late, should be planted around 90 days before the local night cream, too late for a long time, affecting production.

3. Strengthening flood control measures: The summer and autumn cucumbers are in the rainy season. Therefore, we should choose high-lying, high-energy, canopy, loose and fertile plots for small high ridge cultivation.

4. Add fertilizer to light watering: When the cultivation is not too much, the organic fertilizer should be fully decomposed. In summer, it is not advisable to apply manure to the topdressing. It should be combined with cultivating 5-8 kg of fertilizer per mu after the light rain and timely filling the water. After heavy rain, 15 kg of fertilizer can be applied per mu. In summer, there is a lot of rain. It is necessary to pay attention to clearing the ditch and draining the well water in time after the rainstorm. In the autumn easy to dry areas, timely irrigation, each irrigation amount should be small, you can take the principle of small water and water pouring, to avoid flooding. The seedlings should be dominated by water control, and the seedlings should be shallowly ploughed once, and then ploughed once to 3 to 4 leaves to promote root development. When the autumn weather turns cooler, the amount of water should be reduced.

Summer cucumber grows fast, melon is easy to grow, and should be harvested early. Cucumber grows from fast to slow and should be harvested at the right time.
