Does growing cucumber vinegar increase yields30 ? How does it work?
Speaking of cucumber, I believe that in the hearts of every countryman, it is not just a dish, but a fruit that makes people have endless aftertaste. Therefore, in the countryside, there are quite a few people who grow cucumbers. If you've ever planted cucumbers, you'll notice that your fruit doesn't last long. After a peak fruiting period, it will soon decline. At the same time, some farmers also have some cucumbers in their gardens that do not grow well. So, how to deal with such a problem?
1. How fast do cucumbers wilt?
Many farmers will have such a problem, that is, once, when their own cucumbers just grow, a large number of cucumbers will appear, and then they will turn yellow and yellow. This is a very common phenomenon because after the plant has grown to a certain extent, it will become malnourished, resulting in premature aging.
Method: There are many ways to delay the rapid aging of cucumbers. It is important to know that the aging of cucumbers is inevitable and can be delayed as long as it is controlled. There are several main ways:
1. Pick the ripe cucumbers in time. Now is the season of fruits, and you will find that there are many gherkins on every vine. Because it is not resistant to storage, most people try to collect as much as possible. If not, just wait for it to grow on its own. In this way, it will only accelerate the aging of cucumbers. That way, when we find ripe melons, we can pick them.
2. Implement the necessary water and fertilizer management. The vegetable garden in the village relies on organic fertilizer to maintain its fertility. However, cucumbers, a variety with multiple stubble and high yields, should still pay attention to fertilization. That is, in the vigorous growth period, fertilizer should be applied in time.
3. Maintenance of plants. Normally, cucumbers will have many side branches on their rattans, so no one cares about them and lets them grow on their own. However, when some cucumbers grew on its vines, most of its branches turned yellow. Side branches that are already showing signs of aging need to be pruned properly to avoid wasting nutrients. This pruning method can not only keep the plant with good air circulation and prevent diseases, but also concentrate nutrients on beneficial branches and promote the growth and development of cucumbers.
In fact, all of the above methods can delay the aging of cucumber vines. It can also increase the yield of cucumbers. When it comes to ways to increase cucumber yields, I don't know who came up with them. So, does this work now?
Vinegar is our daily spice, but it has been discovered for its cultivation function. In production practice, pure rice vinegar does have the effect of germination. This is because rice vinegar contains a lot of amino acids as well as a small amount of nutrients.
Plants have a great demand for a variety of amino acids during their growth. Rice vinegar does have certain amino acids in it, which can promote the growth of plants. This amino acid is the same as the amino acid leaf fertilizer we buy at the agricultural supply store. But on the whole, it is much better to have foliar fertilizer in the supermarket.
So, if vinegar is useful, then how should we use it?
1. Concentration. Here, please note that vinegar refers to vinegar and not other vinegars. Rice vinegar is a natural product that can promote the growth of cucumbers under natural conditions. However, rice vinegar has a high concentration, so be sure to dilute it before using it. Usually, the vinegar-water ratio is 1:500 800 times. After blending, it can reduce acidity and prevent damage to the leaves of the plant.
2. Spraying timing. This is because most cucumbers can only be grown in hot weather. When you spray the cloth with vinegar water, it is best in the cool afternoon. It is best not to be exposed to sunlight, so as not to volatilize the vinegar water too quickly, making the liquid more acidic and causing damage to the leaves.
However, this is not available to everyone. If it is not properly controlled, it will cause great economic losses. And with vinegar to increase production by 30%, it will be difficult.
