Mini cucumber cultivation management

Mini cucumber, also known as fruit-type cucumber, is an annual creeper of the Cucurbitaceae. Compared with common cucumbers, the melons are small, usually 10 to 18 cm in length, about 3 m in diameter and weighing about 100 g. The melons are dense and the melons are much more than 50 to 60 per plant. The fruit has a short, stick-shaped, soft and smooth surface, no thorns, uniform color, crisp taste, rich melon flavor. Is a very promising fruit, vegetable and fruit melon varieties.
First, the characteristics of mini cucumber: mini cucumber is a warm crop, not cold, not high temperature. Its optimum temperature for growth is 25 to 32°C during the day and 14 to 16°C at night. The day and night temperature difference around 10°C is conducive to growth. Generally, the absolute water content of the soil is about 20%, and the air humidity of 70% to 80% is most suitable for growth. In the seedling stage, it is necessary to pay attention to controlling the water supply to prevent the temperature difference from being too large and being long or frostbite. Adequate light is beneficial to increase production, but it has strong resistance to weak light. It can still achieve high yields in winter and spring cultivation. Short days of 8 to 11 hours at the seedling stage are favorable for promoting female flower differentiation.
The mini-cucumber is good for fertilizer and requires ample supply of fertilizer and rich organic soil. Application of organic fertilizer, and pay attention to the balanced supply of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, especially pay attention to the supplement of potassium and trace element fertilizer.
Second, nurture strong seedlings:
1, with a good nutrition soil and finishing a good seedbed.
2, do a good job sowing. Nursery seedlings are generally used for precision seeding, and black seed squash are often used for grafting.
3, seedling management. After the seedlings are grafted, they are immediately placed on the seedbed, supported on a small arch shed, and tightly sealed with plastic film. Afterwards, temperature, water and light management work is performed to cultivate strong seedlings and timely planting.
3. Soil preparation, fertilization, and planting: The amount of mini-cucumber fruits is large and needs adequate supply of nutrients. Before the planting, 5 tons of rotten organic fertilizer is applied per mu, and at the same time 30 kg of superphosphate, 200 kg of cake fertilizer and 50 kg of plant ash are added. Turn over and mix well, rub it flat, make it 20 to 30 centimeters high and cover with a plastic film. When the 10 cm ground temperature is stable above 15°C, it can be planted. Planting 2000-2500 plants per acre, generally choose to plant on sunny mornings.
Fourth, field management:
1, temperature management. Within one week after planting, appropriate sheds should be closed to maintain the daytime temperature of 25 to 30°C and nighttime at 18 to 20°C, and no more than 35°C should not be released to promote easing of seedlings. After easing the seedlings, the air can be suitably ventilated to lower the temperature. Generally, it can be maintained at 22 to 25°C during the day and 16 to 18°C ​​at night. After entering the full fruit period, the daytime temperature should be maintained at 25 to 30°C and nighttime at 15 to 17°C. Increasing the temperature difference is beneficial to fruit growth.
2, fertilizer and water management. After 7 days of planting, the seedlings should be poured with water, and the water should be controlled before sitting on the roots. Generally, no watering is required. After the roots are sitting, the water can be poured once every 3 to 5 days, and the water is top-dressed every other time. Once, the compound fertilizer per acre 10 to 15 kg. During the growth period, foliar fertilizers should also be applied 3 to 4 times. Generally, 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate is combined with trace element fertilizer in combination with spraying.
3, plant adjustment method is basically the same as ordinary cucumber.
4. When the seedlings grow to two true leaves, spraying an ethephon solution with a concentration of 200 mg/kg, spray it once more every other week to facilitate plant root growth and female flower production.
5, carbon dioxide fertilization. Fertilization time is generally from the root melon after sitting until the end of the melon period to the end of the melon, about 60 to 80 days, the general use of bicarbonate and sulfuric acid reaction to produce carbon dioxide.
V. Pest Control: The pests and diseases of mini cucumbers are basically the same as ordinary cucumbers, and the control methods are the same. In the production, the most serious pests and diseases occurred were blight, powdery mildew, downy mildew, aphid, and whitefly. Since mini-cucumbers are mainly raw food, prevention and control of pests and diseases should be based on comprehensive prevention and control. In the period of sitting cucumbers, it is necessary to fight as little as possible and not to fight drugs.
