Detailed Guide to Raising Dry Cucumbers in Spring Greenhouses
Generally sow in late February to early March, choosing early-maturing varieties that are high-yielding, disease-resistant, tolerant of low temperature and weak light, and have good market quality. Before sowing, prepare the nutrient soil, add an appropriate amount of superphosphate and diammonium phosphate to the nutrient soil, and be sure to disinfect the nutrient soil after it is prepared; before sowing, disinfect the cleaned seeds, soak them in 55°C...
Generally sow in late February to early March, choosing early-maturing varieties that are high-yielding, disease-resistant, tolerant of low temperature and weak light, and have good market quality.
Before sowing, prepare the nutrient soil, add an appropriate amount of superphosphate and diammonium phosphate to the nutrient soil, and be sure to disinfect the nutrient soil after it is prepared; before sowing, disinfect the cleaned seeds by soaking them in 55°C warm water for 15 minutes, then soak them in a 100-fold Xin Gaozhi film solution, remove them, drain off the water, wrap them well, and place them under 28-30°C conditions to promote germination.
After the seeds germinate, sow on a sunny day. When sowing cucumbers, a depth of 5 cm is required, and the soil temperature must not be lower than 15°C; otherwise, germination will be slow and uneven, and seed rot is likely to occur. When sowing, water thoroughly to the bottom, place one germinated seed in each nutrient pot (tube), insert the seed with the sprout end facing down into the nutrient soil, cover with 1.5 cm of disinfected nutrient soil, and spray a 600-800-fold Xin Gaozhi film solution to increase the emergence rate, then cover with plastic film.
