Nowadays, it is the season when cucumbers are widely marketed. Generally, the melons can be harvested within 10 days after the female flowers are opened. Reasonable melons are important technical measures to adjust the vegetative growth and reproductive growth of the plants. Harvesting cucumbers also has many points. Harvesting should not be too early, nor too late. It should be harvested in time. Harvesting too early and late will affect the increase of cucumber yield. So what are the main points of cucumber harvesting? 1. The growth rule of cucumber Studies have shown that cucumbers grow from 13 to 17 in a day, with a small amount of fruit growing, with an average length of only 0.3 to 0.6 mm per hour, but within an hour of 17 to 18 hours, the average elongation is 2.7 mm, which is the most fruit growth. Prosperous period. Thereafter, the amount of growth gradually decreased with time, and almost stopped growing at 6 o'clock the next day. Therefore, cucumbers are generally not recommended for harvest in the afternoon. 2, the number of days the cucumber matures The number of days required for cucumber to mature from flowering to commercial melon is related to variety, cultivation season, cultivation method, and temperature change. Under normal circumstances, the growth of melon is small within 3 to 4 days after flowering, and it is rapidly expanded from 5 to 6 days after flowering. The weight of the fruit is nearly doubled every day, and it is slightly slowed down to about 10 days, but it is also increased every day. 30%. When the average daily temperature is 13 degrees, the growth days of melon strips are 20 days, 16 days at 16 degrees, 14 days at 18 degrees, and 6-8 days at 23 degrees. 3, harvesting goods melon period It is generally recommended to pick melons in the morning. It is not recommended to pick melons in the afternoon. Picking melon in the afternoon, the temperature is high, the fruit stem wound loses more water, affects the quality, the yield is reduced, the economic benefit is poor, and the bacteria are easily invaded from the wound. It is harvested every 2~3 days at the beginning, and harvested once every 1-2 days. The market price of cucumbers in the open field is rising day by day. In this period, the harvesting frequency should be reduced, and the harvest should be harvested at a later time to maintain a part of the growing cucumbers for delayed harvesting to obtain higher economic benefits. Finally, the cucumber that is picked up once can be stored for a period of time, and will be listed when the price rises. 4, the collection of commodity melon standards Generally, the mature melons are picked and the deformed melons, the melons and the melons are removed. At the beginning of harvesting, due to the short stature of the plant, the nutrient area of ​​the leaves is small, generally about 100 grams of a melon, early harvest can promote vegetative growth, so that the harvest of the harvest will arrive soon. At the peak of the melon, there is usually about 200 grams of a melon. At this time, the plant grows vigorously, and the condition is that the fruit grows longer, and the plant does not grow because of the melon. In the late stage of melon, the plants gradually senescence, the root absorption capacity is weakened, the leaf assimilation is reduced, and the harvested melons are smaller. Generally, a melon weighs about 150 grams. No matter what period of harvest, the unified standard for commercial melons should be that the skin of the fruit is fresh and tender, the melons are smooth, no seeds are formed and there is a certain weight. 5, harvesting method When picking young fruit, it should be taken lightly. In order to prevent the young fruit from stinging the top flower, it is best to put it in a bamboo basket, wooden box or plastic box with a weight of 20~30kg. This can be transported over long distances. 6, harvesting considerations Pick up the deformed melon in advance. If the stems grow weakly, when there are deformed melons such as pointed melon, long handle, and ant waist, they should be harvested in advance to prevent excessive consumption of nutrients. Cucumber should be harvested in time, especially in the early harvest. If the cucumber is hung on the plant for too long, the nutrient is consumed too much, causing the plant to grow slowly. The upper cucumber or female flower is easy to be melon or deformed, which affects the future yield. The above is the main point of cucumber harvesting, and the process of cucumber harvesting is also the process of adjusting vegetative growth and reproductive growth. When the young fruit grows to a certain size, it must be harvested in time. Appropriate early picking of melon and dwarf plant melon can promote the growth of the plant, and grow more plants in the empty section. Can control the length of the plant.
