How to raise seedlings for growing cucumbers in the vegetable garden?

There are two ways to grow cucumbers, seed-seeding, or seedlings are raised first and then transplanted. However, the latter is chosen for planting cucumbers in rural areas, because it is not only convenient for seedling management, can be sown in advance, but also is very beneficial to the later growth of cucumbers. How to transplant cucumber seedlings and how to manage them after transplanting?

If you grow a small amount of cucumbers in your own vegetable garden, you can raise seedlings by yourself. Cucumber seeds are germinated first, and when they have germinated, they are sown into disposable plastic cups. You can first use scissors to cut a few small holes in the bottom of the plastic cup, and then put in two-thirds of the nutrient soil and water it thoroughly.

Add two sprouted cucumber seeds to each cup and cover them with nutrient soil. In this way, it is placed in a warm environment, and when the cucumber seedlings grow 3-5 true leaves, they can be transplanted after about a month.

The transplanting of cucumber seedlings is generally after the Qingming Festival, when the local temperature reaches more than 15, it also meets the conditions for transplanting. Apply the base fertilizer first, then dig the soil pit, and then cut off the bottom of the plastic cup, you can directly place the plastic cup in the soil pit, and then cover it with mud and stabilize it. When transplanting, it is best to choose a cloudy day, or a sunny afternoon, and remember to water the roots once after planting.

After transplanting, the focus of management is shading and watering. If there is a sunny day after planting, and the temperature is relatively high, you have to find a way to shade the planted cucumber seedlings. At the same time, remember to water so that you can promote early life.

After the planted cucumber seedlings are alive and later in the later stage, the amount of watering should be properly controlled during this period, and the seedlings need to be squatted.

In addition, after planting, cucumber seedlings will usher in the peak season of growth after the seedlings are slowed down, so it is necessary to tie vines to its shelf in time, and the seedlings can be pumped by wind, and the shelf can be used as a flower stand or herringbone frame. It is best to tie the vines in the afternoon, as the cucumber vines in the morning are prone to breaking.

The answers to this question shared above are all personal opinions and suggestions, and I hope that the answer to this question I have shared can help you.

Before sowing, it is necessary to prepare the land and apply base fertilizer. The seedbed should choose a seedbed that has not been planted with melons and vegetables, the seedbed is smooth, the soil moisture is sufficient, and the temperature in the greenhouse is maintained after sowing. Transplanting is generally in the cucumber seedlings grow for about 35 days, at this time the true leaves of cucumbers have three to five pieces, the main stem of cucumber seedlings is thick and hard, the leaf color is dark green, there is no disease, the root system is developed, and the survival rate of transplanting cucumber seedlings is higher at this time.

The day before transplanting, it is best to spray the seedbed with 50% of 500 times carbendazim. The day of planting should be done in the morning on a sunny day.

Generally, about 3,500 cucumber seedlings are planted per mu, and they should be watered in time after planting, and cucumbers planted in greenhouses should be stuffy for about 4 days in time to achieve the effect of slowing down seedlings. After the planted cucumber seedlings survive, a furrow irrigation is generally carried out after 15 days. In addition, it is necessary to pay attention to timely topdressing and pest control.

Select some cucumber seeds with a high germination rate and sprinkle them evenly in fertile soil. The gap between the seeds should not be too high. Appropriate application of organic fertilizers.

Cultivating yellow flower seedlings, you need to soak the seeds in warm water first, and then carry out germination, the seedling soil requires loose ventilation and good drainage, after filling the soil into the seedling hole, you can sow the seeds after germination, do a good job of heat preservation and moisturizing, and soon the seeds can emerge, and you can transplant and plant when there are 3-4 true leaves.

1. Seed treatment

To cultivate cucumber seedlings, it is best to soak the seeds in warm water for half an hour, and then soak them in water for 6-8 hours to make the seeds absorb enough water, and then put them in a damp cloth and put them in the environment of 26-30 to promote germination, and wait until the seeds are white and can be sown.

2. Soil requirements

When cultivating cucumber seedlings, the seedling soil requirements are loose and permeable and well-drained type, we can use peat, perlite and vermiculite according to the ratio of 2:1:1 mixed preparation, the soil can be filled into the seedling hole after preparation, and then it should be watered thoroughly, so that the soil is in a slightly moist state.

3. Sowing and planting

Sow the germinated seeds into the seedling hole, and cover with a thin layer of soil, and then you can cover it with a layer of plastic film, which can play the role of heat preservation and moisturizing, the temperature is controlled at about 25 is more suitable, and soon the cucumber seeds can emerge and grow.

4. Cultivation and maintenance

After the cucumber seeds emerge, the plastic film should be removed in time, during which the ventilation management should be strengthened, and the soil should be kept slightly moist, when the seedlings grow, they can be sprayed with potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution for top dressing, and the seedlings can be transplanted and planted after they have 3-4 true leaves.
