Multi-pronged tube for good overwintering cucumber
Recently, the weather has been quite unpredictable. As overwintering cucumbers enter their fruiting stage, vegetable farmers need to pay close attention to management practices and understand the growth characteristics of the plants. Proper greenhouse management, creating an optimal environment for plant growth, and careful cultivation are essential for achieving high yields. Here are some key tips specifically for local farmers:
It's important to maintain stable temperatures inside the greenhouse despite external climate fluctuations. With winter cucumbers now in the fruiting phase, it’s recommended to slightly increase the temperature—typically 1°C to 2°C higher than usual. This helps the plants grow stronger and more vigorous, which directly contributes to higher productivity.
Watering and using beneficial bacterial fertilizers can help promote fruit development. Due to recent high temperatures and increased evaporation, crops are more prone to water stress, which can significantly reduce yield. Therefore, it’s advisable to increase the frequency of watering. Water is crucial for fruit development, so don’t skimp on it. Fertilization should be moderate, focusing on potassium-rich nutrients rather than excessive nitrogen. Over-fertilizing can harm the plants, so it’s best to apply what’s needed based on the plant’s growth stage.
When applying fertilizers, follow the "two mixed and one clear" method: mix fertilizer with manure, then flush with clean water. Adjust the amount of fertilizer according to the crop's yield level. For example, when fruits are developing, focus on light nitrogen application. If the plant is already producing well and has reached its peak, then use a bit more nitrogen and less potassium. Also, long-term watering and fertilizing can lead to soil compaction, which reduces oxygen availability to roots. Beneficial bacteria can help break up compacted soil, improve aeration, and enhance root health. They also help decompose unused chemicals, reducing salt buildup and promoting better root growth.
Leaf protection is critical to prevent and manage diseases effectively. In addition to ecological prevention methods that boost plant immunity, it’s important to use targeted pesticides carefully. Avoid overuse or improper application, as this can cause phytotoxicity. If disease symptoms appear, treat them promptly with effective products and ensure thorough coverage to prevent further spread.
Pruning and plant adjustments are also necessary. Remove old, diseased leaves, tendrils, and excess vines, but make sure to keep at least 14 healthy functional leaves. When harvesting, consider the plant's strength—strong plants can support larger fruits, while weaker ones should be pruned to smaller ones, ensuring balanced growth between the vines and the fruits.
By following these practices, farmers can maximize yield, improve plant health, and ensure a successful harvest even in fluctuating weather conditions.
