Q: What pests and diseases will cucumbers encounter throughout their entire physiological process?

A: During the seedling stage, cucumbers mainly suffer from damping-off, seedling blight and physiological root rot. During the mature plant stage, the diseases that frequently occur include downy mildew, angular leaf spot and phytophthora blight. In winter, physiological diseases that affect plant and fruit growth, such as cucurbit topping and bitter cucumbers, are also likely to occur. Therefore, the prevention and control of pests and diseases must be effectively carried out throughout the cucumber growing period.
