Agricultural technology of cultivation
Cucumber plants are grown in two ways: seedling and sowing seeds to a permanent place of growth.
To get cucumbers earlier, first, in a warm room, seeds are planted for seedlings, and then, after a month, the seedlings are moved to the main place of growth in a greenhouse or garden bed. With the seedling method, the crop will ripen two weeks ahead of schedule, usually at the end of June.
When sowing seeds in the main place of growth, they wait until stable warm weather is established outside. When the temperature on the thermometer reaches 22-24 degrees, seeds are sown in the beds. The distance between plantings is kept 40 by 20 centimeters, in the greenhouse it can be increased: 40 by 30 centimeters. This is done to ensure that the plants do not shade each other.
Plant care
For plants to grow and bear fruit well, they need care:
- watering;
- top dressing;
- weeding;
- loosening the soil;
- garter.
Here is a short list of activities in cucumber cultivation.
Top dressing is essential for better growth. Carry out at least three times with various fertilizers: mineral and organic.
Watering is needed for the ripening of fruits and plant growth; in case of drought, it is carried out every day, early in the morning or late in the evening, so that the water on the leaves does not burn the plant.
The beds are weeded as the grass grows, it is necessary to loosen the soil more often so that the fungus does not multiply in moist soil. Also, the roots of plants need access to air for growth.
Inspection of plants for diseases will prevent the disease from spreading and ruining the long-awaited harvest. If you find diseased plants, immediately remove them from the garden and burn them at the stake. This will save healthy plants from infection.
With the right choice of a place for planting and caring for plants, the harvest will delight its owners with the abundance and quality of fruits.
