If you want to produce cucumber with high yield, you have to pick the leaves

It is necessary for cucumbers to grow for a long period of time. However, it is my experience to cooperate with picking leaves to improve the yield of cucumbers.

Cucumbers do not pick the leaves but the damage is manifold. First of all, the aging of the lower leaves, photosynthetic enzymes and other functions are reduced, the photosynthetic rate is decreased, and the light conditions of the lower leaves are extremely poor. The organic nutrition produced by photosynthesis of the leaves is not even enough to meet its own needs. Can not provide organic nutrition for plant growth, the leaves also lost the necessity of existence. Secondly, if the leaves are not picked up, the lower branches and leaves will be more likely to cause wounds. Once again, the leaves are not picked up, causing the lower leaves to gather. The air circulation in the small surface environment is poor, the humidity is high, and there are wounds formed by falling vines. The pathogenic bacteria are very easy to infect, and the old leaves become the re-infestation source of diseases. Once the rain and other weather are encountered and the environment within the shed is suitable for disease, the pathogenic bacteria on the lower leaves will quickly spread to the surrounding and spread, leading to an outbreak of the disease.

When picking leaves for cucumber, pay attention to the following three aspects:

First, pay attention to the weather. Picking leaves and falling vines on a rainy day may cause more harm. Therefore, it is best to choose sunny mornings for picking cucumbers and dropping them.

Second, pick the leaves before falling. If the leaves are not removed in time, the lower air circulation will be poor, the humidity will be high, and the disease resistance will be deteriorated. The pathogenic bacteria can easily infect from the old leaves.

Third, pick the leaves to keep the handle. Because the cucumber has a hollow petiole, it is brittle. When the old leaf is removed, if the petiole is removed together, the vine is likely to be injured. If the humidity is high even in cloudy days, it is easy to make the stem tissue around the wound tissue necrosis, affecting the normal growth of cucumber.

Fourth, pay attention to spraying pesticides after picking leaves. After picking the leaves, a lot of nutrient solution flows out from the wounds of the cucumber, which easily infects bacterial diseases from here. You can spray 72% of streptomycin sulfate 3000 times and add 47% of Garnett 600 times before and after removing leaves to prevent bacterial diseases from occurring. .
