1, processing seeds
When planting cucumber, you should choose seeds with full grains and no pests, and then soak them in warm water for a period of time, so that the seeds can absorb enough water and break the dormancy period of the plants. Moreover, cucumber seeds should be germinated in an environment of about 25 degrees, and can be planted after sun drying.
Step 2 sow seeds
When cucumber seedlings are raised, decomposed horse manure should be applied to the soil to improve soil fertility, then cucumber seeds should be sown in the soil, watered again to keep the soil moist, and a cold shed should be built on the soil to keep the environmental temperature constant and promote the rapid emergence of cucumber seedlings.
3, the correct planting
When planting cucumber, we should choose loose and fertile soil with good drainage, then apply calcium superphosphate and organic fertilizer to the soil, transplant cucumber seedlings into the soil, and build a tea stand at the root of cucumber about 8- 10 cm, which is beneficial to cucumber growth.
Management methods of cucumber seedlings
1, suitable temperature
In order to manage cucumber seedlings, it is necessary to make them have suitable temperature. In order to prevent them from growing taller, it is best to control the temperature between 25-30℃ during the day and 15℃ at night. Before planting, they need to be trained at low temperature, so that cucumber seedlings can grow healthily afterwards.
2. Adequate lighting
The growth of cucumber seedlings needs sufficient light, so when managing cucumber seedlings, let them have sufficient light during the day, so that cucumber seedlings can grow healthily. In rainy weather, light should be replenished in time, but in summer, attention should be paid to avoid being exposed to strong light.
3, moisture requirements
Cucumber seedlings have a high demand for water. In the process of management, we need to constantly observe the dry humidity of seedbed soil. If there is water shortage, it is necessary to replenish water in time, otherwise cucumber seedlings will wither easily, but it is necessary to avoid water accumulation in the soil and root retting.
