What are the planting times for spring cucumbers and autumn cucumbers respectively?
Cucumbers like warmth and cannot tolerate cold, so cucumbers are widely distributed in southern China and are one of the main greenhouse products. Because the planting times differ, they are divided into spring cucumbers and autumn cucumbers. Let's take a look below at what the most suitable cucumber planting times are respectively~
I. Spring cucumber planting time
1. Spring cucumber sowing time
Spring cucumbers refer to cucumbers that are raised as seedlings in winter and harvested in spring. The suitable calendar age for spring cucumber planting is 40 to 50 days, and the physiological seedling age is four leaves and one heart. If calculated based on calendar age, sowing will be carried out 40 to 50 days before planting. The length of the physiological seedling age is related to the seedling-raising method. Raising seedlings in a cold frame or solar greenhouse takes 50 to 55 days; a heated greenhouse takes 45 to 50 days; using heating wires in a greenhouse takes 45 days.
2. Spring cucumber planting time
The planting time for spring cucumbers is after the local night frost, when the average temperature exceeds 18. In the Beijing, Tianjin, and Shijiazhuang areas, planting is generally done after the end of April. In order to slow the seedling block, you should choose a sunny day to plant the seedlings, and do not plant on cloudy or windy days. The planting density mainly depends on the characteristics of the variety.
II. Autumn cucumber planting time
1. Autumn cucumber cultivation in frost areas refers to cultivation before the first frost begins, while in perennial frost-free areas, it refers to cucumbers listed among summer cucumbers for autumn marketing. Autumn cucumbers have a short growth period and can mature in about 80 to 90 days, and can be cultivated directly.
2. Autumn cucumbers are usually sown about 70 days before frost, and seedling transplanting can be carried out 7 to 10 days in advance.
