Cucumber is a continuous melon crop, which requires a large amount of fertilizer, and if you want to have a high yield of cucumber, reasonable fertilizer supplement is very important. Not only does the base fertilizer need to be applied sufficiently, but the top dressing is even more indispensable. At present, it is the summer of high temperature and strong light, so how to fertilize to ensure the growth of cucumbers, and will not cause soil salinization due to excessive fertilizer application? It is recommended that vegetable farmers start from the following aspects.
Fertilize according to the base fertilizer
Usually cucumber planting before vegetable farmers have applied sufficient fertilizer, so cucumber growth in the early stage generally does not need to apply a large number of elements of water-soluble fertilizer, mainly to maintain the root system, that is, to apply functional fertilizers, such as microbial agents, chitin rooting agents, humic acid organic water-soluble fertilizers, etc. If the root system is well maintained in the early stage, the plant can absorb more fertilizer and water, so as to grow vigorously, and the middle and late stages can continue to bear melons without premature aging.
Fertilize according to plant growth
If the plant stalk is stout, there are many melons, and the melon strips grow fast, the melon strips are less, the melon strips are straight, and the color is bright green, indicating that the cucumber plant is growing robustly, and there is no shortage of fertilizer for the time being, and it can be topdressed again after a period of time. If it is found that the plant stalks are weak, there are few melons, and the growth rate of melon strips is slow, the melons do not swell, the melon color is also dark, and there are many deformed melons, indicating that the plant growth is weak and the nutrient supply is insufficient, and the vegetable farmers should supplement the mineral nutrients in time.
Focus on supplementing medium and trace elements
Compared with macroelements, the medium and trace element fertilizers applied in the growth process of cucumber are not much, but they are essential, and they play an irreplaceable role in the growth and development of cucumbers. Therefore, during the growth period of cucumber, it is necessary to pay attention to the supplementation of medium and trace element fertilizers, and to supplement them in advance.
Functional fertilizers and water-soluble fertilizers
Functional fertilizer has the effect of maintaining roots, improving soil, improving quality, etc., but it contains low inorganic nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, and even does not contain inorganic nutrients. However, only topdressing a large number of elements water-soluble fertilizer will cause soil compaction, so it is recommended to use functional fertilizer with water-soluble fertilizer to achieve the best effect of topdressing.
