Cucumber nursing skills

Temperature

Cucumbers like warmth, but they can't stand cold. The suitable temperature for growth is 10 ~ 32 ℃. Generally, it grows best at 25 ~ 32 ℃ during the day and 15 ~ 18 ℃ at night; The most suitable ground temperature is 20 ~ 25 ℃, and the lowest is about 15 ℃. The most suitable temperature difference between day and night is 10 ~ 15 ℃. The photosynthesis of cucumber is poor at high temperature of 35 ℃, high temperature obstacle occurs at 45 ℃, and the cucumber is frozen to death at low temperature of - 2 ~ 0 ℃. If the cucumber is refined at low temperature, it can withstand the low temperature of 3 ℃

Illumination

South China type varieties are more sensitive to short sunshine, while North China type varieties are not strict about the length of sunshine, and have become sunshine neutral plants. Most varieties grow well under the condition of short sunshine of 8 ~ 11 hours

Moisture

Cucumber has high yield and large water demand. The suitable soil humidity is 60 ~ 90%, the water in seedling stage should not be too much, the soil humidity is 60 ~ 70%, and sufficient water must be supplied in fruiting stage, and the soil humidity is 80 ~ 90%. The suitable air relative humidity of cucumber is 60 ~ 90%. Excessive air relative humidity is easy to get sick and reduce production

Soil

Cucumber likes humidity but not waterlogging, and likes fertilizer but not fertilizer. It is appropriate to choose fertile soil rich in organic matter. Generally, I like the soil with pH between 5.5 and 7.2, but the pH value of 6.5 is the best
