Cucumbers and long beans planted in two crops, two harvests from one greenhouse
Long beans are known for being difficult to manage in off-season cultivation, with high requirements for temperature and light, but their yield and returns are also high. 1. Raising seedlings 1. Use 5×5 nutrient cups, or 32-cell seedling trays, with good substrate as the nutrient soil, and two seeds per planting cell. Specific method: first moisten the substrate with water at a 1000-fold...
Over time, a set of two-crop cultivation techniques for intercropping cucumbers with long beans was worked out, with notable results.In order to solve the problem of greenhouses sitting idle in summer and further improve the economic benefits of greenhouses, in early March last year, when greenhouse cucumber prices fell, Tian Jinbiao pulled up the cucumber vines and switched to long beans. The long beans came to market in early to mid-May, with a harvest period of 3 months; the long beans were cleared in mid to late August, the stubble was destroyed and the land prepared for the next crop of sowing. By adding one crop of long beans, each mu can produce 1500 kg-2000 kg of long beans, and with basically no increase in investment, each greenhouse gains more than 3000 yuan in income. This year, this greenhouse cultivation model has been widely promoted in surrounding cities and counties, achieving good economic benefits.
