Growing cucumbers in greenhouses on video

Growing cucumbers in greenhouses in the video is slightly different from growing them in open ground. Seedlings, as well as seeds, are planted in the greenhouse much earlier, most often this happens in early May.

Before planting, the soil must be treated or disinfected with potassium permanganate or bleach. After planting, greenhouses should be periodically ventilated on sunny days, but drafts should be avoided. Drafts enhance evaporation processes and carry away the necessary carbon dioxide. It is recommended to grow cucumbers on a vertical trellis. And to speed up the ripening of fruits, pinching is used. When the shoot grows to the top of the trellis, pinching can be done. The cucumbers are tied with a double slip knot.

Air and soil humidity should be higher than average; for this, sprinkling is necessary. The water and soil temperature should be about 22 degrees. Low air temperatures lead to disruption of fruit formation and drying out of the root system and leaves. With the appearance of the first ovaries, you need to water more often. Cucumbers need to be watered along the furrows; they cannot be watered at the roots, as the root layer of the soil is destroyed and the roots are exposed.

After the emergence of seedlings, you need to feed them with nitrogen fertilizer, then before the first flowering - with phosphorus fertilizer. During fruiting, nitrogen-potassium fertilizers are used. Organic fertilizers from mullein and bird droppings also have a positive effect on the growth of cucumbers.
