Causes of bitterness in cucumbers and preventive measures

Cucumber with bitter taste is caused by melon. The substance has the highest content of the base of the cucumber stalk, and its content varies according to different types, varieties, and cultivation conditions. Except for the high content of momordicin in individual cucumber cultivars, the low temperature, high temperature, lack of light, excessive or insufficient nitrogen, The lack of water in the soil will increase the bitterness of the cucumber.
Bitter cucumber can not be left

If the bitter fruit is left as a melon seed, the fruit produced by the next generation will still have a bitter taste. Therefore, when the cucumber is about to mature, it is necessary to take part of the epidermis to taste it, and choose the one without bitterness. In addition, the dark green color of cucumber varieties of bitter pigment content is relatively high, therefore, we should try to avoid the selection of leaf color dark green varieties of multi-selection pale leaf species reserved.

Rational fertilization

In the seedling stage, nitrogen fertilizer should be controlled to avoid plant growth. With the growth of plants, an appropriate increase in the amount of nitrogen fertilizer. By the end of flowering, nitrogen fertilizer supply will be strengthened. In the selection of fertilizers, decomposed organic fertilizers (such as biogas fertilizers) are used, and nitrogen fertilizers are used less. In the fertilization method, it is necessary to take a small number of times, the concentration should be light should not be strong. Generally, for every 1 ton of fruit produced, cucumber absorbs 2.8 kg of nitrogen, 900 g of phosphorus, 3.9 kg of potassium, 3.1 kg of calcium, and 700 g of magnesium, which can be used in conjunction with fertilization.

Controlling temperature

The cucumber cultivated in the greenhouse, when the local temperature is lower than 13°C for a long time, the root system is poorly developed, the absorption ability of the fertilizer and water is weakened, and the bitterness of the cucumber root system is increased, and bitter melons are easily produced. When the greenhouse temperature is higher than 30°C for a long time, nutrients are consumed more and less accumulated, which can easily lead to the accumulation of bittersin in melon strips. Therefore, the use of greenhouses for planting cucumbers, first planting should not be premature to promote mulching film cultivation, when the shed temperature above 13 °C in order to colonize; Second, the colonization of the initial shed do not free ventilation, the temperature during the day kept at 25 ~ 30 °C, Keep at 12~15°C at night=; Third, when the greenhouse temperature in the initial period of the melons exceeds 30°C, ventilation begins; after the temperature drops to 28°C in the afternoon, the ventilation openings must be closed in time; Fourth, the postponing temperature should be controlled at 32 °C below.

Reasonable irrigation

Cucumber sticks are shallow in soil and cannot absorb deep water. Under conditions of high temperature and low soil moisture, the cucumbers can easily cause physiological drought and produce bitter melon. Therefore, it is required that there is sufficient moisture in the soil tillage layer; at the same time, the cucumber leaves are large and thin, and the amount of transpiration is large, so the air humidity is required to be large. Therefore, water should be properly irrigated, and water should be used to regulate the humidity of the microclimate in high temperature weather to keep enough water in the soil and achieve "a small number of times".

Improve lighting

Increase light between the plants and improve ventilation. It will be carried out after 30 centimeters in length, and will be tied once every 3-4 knots. When the Lord is full, he will pick his heart.
