The method of pruning and forking vegetables, and the technique of pruning and forking cucumbers

Cucumber vines, generally grow to twenty or thirty centimeters, at this time to build a shelf, so that the cucumber vines have to rely on, fully exposed to the sun, and ventilated.

When the cucumber blooms, we should constantly observe it in its growth, if the vine is full of male flowers, and there are no female flowers and no fruit, then we should start the vine and the main vine to make it fork. Observe on the forked branches that grow, if there are female flowers, they will be retained, and if they are still male flowers, they must be cut off, otherwise they will consume nutrients, which belongs to the vine branches.

On each newly-born, stem, observe, if the female flower sets too many fruits, it should also be removed, only retain the amount of 2 to 3 cucumbers, so that the cucumbers can grow rapidly, the type is more positive, and the nutrition is more sufficient.

Among the female flower fruit set, if there is a good result, because pollination is not good, it will grow into crooked fruit and big-headed fruit, then it is also necessary to carry out vegetables and fruits, and retain some of the more positive shapes. Ensure adequate nutrition**. For some long crooked, big-headed, improperly shaped fruits, cucumbers, but also timely combing, to prevent nutrient loss, bee pollination is better, if, there are few bees in this place, can not be pollinated naturally, then it is necessary to pollinate manually.

The female flowers bloom for only one day, and pollination must be completed during this day, preferably in the morning during the day, with a brush dipped in the pollen of the male flowers, and then spread to the stamens of the female flowers, and the pollination is completed.

Overly lush foliage obscures out the light. Excessive consumption of nutrients is also not conducive to fruit set, we must timely thinning branches, but also thinning leaves. There are also branches and leaves with pests and diseases, and the infected branches and leaves should be cut off in time while spraying.

For mature cucumbers to be harvested in a timely manner, to prevent growing too old, bad taste, usually cucumber management should pay attention to fertilization, cucumber is a crop that requires a large amount of fertilizer, can be sprayed in the vigorous growth period of fertilized cucumber foliar fertilizer and fertile leaf ionic potassium dihydrogen phosphate, the effect is better.

The most effective method is to wipe the buds at the young bud stage, which is simple, labor-saving, efficient, and consumes less.

How to prune cucumber seedlings and pick leaves? Improper handling, production halved, practical experience sharing.

Is it okay to knock out all the side branches under the melon vines?

Tomato pruning and forking methods: single-rod pruning, double-rod pruning, one-and-a-half-rod pruning.

1. Single-rod pruning

Keeping one main stem on each tomato plant and cutting off all the remaining side branches will reduce the number of fruits per plant, but the fruit weight will increase, enhance the early maturity of the tomatoes, and the yield will be high in the early stage.

2. Double-rod pruning

The main branch of the tomato and the first side branch growing under the first inflorescence are retained, and the rest of the side branches are all removed, so that the main stem and the retained side branches grow at the same time, this pruning method can improve the yield per plant, and is suitable for varieties with strong growth momentum.

3. One and a half pruning

In the case of one-and-a-half-pruning, in addition to the main branch of the tomato, the first side branch under the first inflorescence and the first spike fruit produced by the side branch are also retained.

Tomato cultivation techniques

1. Select land and prepare the soil

Tomatoes do not have very high requirements for growing in the land, generally in the paddy field environment, with good ventilation conditions but not on the tuyere. The fertile soil, loose soil, and flat terrain are the most suitable for Changhuai. The soil is ploughed and drainage channels are built.

2. Seedling planting

Farmers spend about 45 days breeding before cultivating seedlings, and wait until the seedlings grow to 15 cm before transplanting and planting. When planting, control a reasonable distance between plants, small and medium-sized plants are controlled at about 45 cm, and slightly larger varieties will be expanded to 55 cm.

3. Water and fertilizer management

During the growth period, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer was used for irrigation, seedling promotion fertilizer was applied at the seedling stage, and phosphorus or calcium acid fertilizer was used at the flowering and fruit stage to promote the vigorous flowering and fruiting. Watering should start from the roots to ensure that the rhizome absorbs enough water, watering once every two weeks, and the watering frequency can be increased during the fruiting period to provide enough humidity to the tomatoes.

4. Pest control

Powdery mildew, leaf mold, aphids, red spiders, etc., are the pests and diseases that tomatoes are more likely to suffer. In the early stages of the disease, prune off the branches and leaves that are problematic and use smoke or dust agents to combat them. If the situation is more serious, you should buy a professional bactericidal and insecticide spray at the flower market.

Cucumber pruning and forking is generally suitable for sunny weather, and before pruning, it is necessary to sterilize the vertical pruning knives. After disinfection, it is necessary to cut off the stems and vines that only have male flowers and no female flowers, and also cut off the excess female flowers on the stems. During the fruiting period, the inferior fruits that are undernutrient or poorly pollinated should be cut off to facilitate the better growth of other fruits.

Cucumber is a very common vegetable crop and belongs to the annual climbing plant. During the growth period, after the cucumber grows to a certain extent, it needs to be pruned and forked, which can ensure the quantity and quality of the fruit in the later stage. Pruning and forking cucumbers is generally suitable for doing it in sunny weather, avoid doing it in rainy weather, otherwise the wound will become infected.

When the stems and vines of cucumbers grow between 20 and 30 cm, you need to remember tools such as bamboo poles or sticks to build a frame for cucumbers and guide the stems and vines of cucumbers to grow upwards. Cucumbers need to be regularly observed during the growth period of the vines. If there are only male flowers on the stem and vine, and there are no female flowers, it is necessary to fork the stem and vine so that female flowers can grow on the branched vine.

If the male flowers are still growing on the forked stems and vines, the male flowers need to be cut off to avoid excessive consumption of cucumber nutrients by the male flowers, which will affect the growth of stems, branches, flowers and fruits. If there are too many female flowers on the stems of cucumbers, they should also be pruned appropriately. The excess female flowers on the stems and vines are cut off to concentrate the nutrients and facilitate the growth of the fruit.

Cucumbers need to be properly inspected and thinned during the fruiting period. Due to insufficient nutrition or poor pollination, some fruits cannot grow normally, and the fruit will be thin and deformed. During pruning, it is necessary to cut off the inferior fruits on the stems and vines, and after pruning, it can also save nutrients and facilitate the growth of fruits.
