Cucumber is one of the common vegetables in our life, but if you want it to grow healthily, you need pruning and pinching. Today, let's take a detailed look at the pruning and pinch-pinching methods of cucumbers.
Growth habits of cucumber is a climbing plant with long stems and large and thick leaves. It likes the sun and warm environment, grows fast, and has fat and plump fruits. However, if pruning and pinching are not carried out, the stems and vines will spread too much, resulting in unbalanced nutrition and affecting fruit quality.
Why prune and pinch-pinching? Pruning and pinch-pinching can promote plant growth, make cucumbers healthier, and help improve fruit quality and yield. Appropriate pruning and pinch-pinching can also make cucumbers easier to manage and reduce the incidence of pests and diseases.
pruning time of cucumber The pruning time of cucumber is generally carried out in the later stage of cultivation. For cucumbers grown in greenhouses, pruning is generally carried out before flowering; while for cucumbers grown in the open field, pruning should be carried out after the first fruit is borne.
The main vine of cucumber pruning is its lifeline, but if it is too long, it will lead to uneven distribution of nutrients and affect fruit quality and yield. We need to prune the main vine and keep 2-3 leaves. This can promote the growth of lateral branches and increase fruit yield.
Side branches of cucumber pruning The side branches of cucumber are small branches that grow from the main vine and also need to be pruned appropriately. Under normal circumstances, it is enough to retain 2-3 lateral branches. Too many lateral branches can lead to uneven distribution of nutrients and affect fruit quality and yield.
The branches of cucumber are pruned. The branches of cucumber are the growth parts of the fruit and also need to be pruned appropriately. Under normal circumstances, it is enough to keep 1-2 flower branches. Too many flower branches will affect the quality and yield of the fruit.
The method of pinching cucumbers The method of pinching cucumbers means cutting off the top of the plant to stop growing. This can promote the growth of lateral branches and increase fruit yield. The pinching time is usually carried out when the side buds grow to 3-4 leaves. Be careful not to pinch too early or too late.
Cutting cucumber leaves is also necessary. It can allow sunlight to better shine on the fruits and improve fruit quality and yield. Care should be taken not to hurt the fruits and flowers when pruning.
Grafting technology of cucumber The grafting technology of cucumber can make it grow healthier and have stronger disease resistance. The specific method is to graft cucumber on melon plants, such as watermelon, pumpkin, etc. Grafting can promote lateral branch growth and fruit yield, and has stronger disease resistance.
The growth environment of cucumber It is very important to regulate the growth environment of cucumber. It requires sufficient sunshine and appropriate temperature and humidity. We can control the growing environment of cucumbers and improve yield and quality by adjusting ventilation, watering, and fertilization.
Management of pruned cucumbers After pruned cucumbers require proper management, including watering, fertilization, pest control, etc. At the same time, attention should also be paid to removing old leaves, sick leaves and dead leaves in time to keep the plants clean and tidy, which is conducive to the healthy growth of the plants.
Precautions for pruning and pinchingWhen pruning and pinchingcucumbers, you need to pay attention to the following points: First, do not cut the trunk; second, do not prune and pinchingtoo early or too late; third, do not prune and pinchingtoo much, which will affect fruit yield; fourth, pay attention not to hurt flowers and fruits when pruning leaves.
Benefits of cucumber pruning and pinting cucumber pruning and pinting can promote plant growth and increase fruit yield and quality. At the same time, it can also reduce the occurrence of pests and diseases and make cucumbers healthier.
The shortcomings of cucumber pruning and pinchingThe shortcomings of cucumber pruning and pinchingare that they can easily cause nutrient imbalance and lead to a decline in fruit quality. Pay attention to appropriate amount when pruning and pinching.
Pruning and pinching cucumbers is an important way to make them healthier and grow more vigorously. Through appropriate pruning and pinching, plant growth can be promoted, fruit yield and quality can be increased, and the occurrence of diseases and insect pests can be reduced. However, attention should be paid to the method and time when pruning and pinching, and appropriate amounts are better.
