Tips Cucumber

Soil preparation

  • Prepare well-drained soil rich in organic matter.
  • Add compost to improve soil fertility.
  • Ensure the soil pH is between 6.0 and 7.0.
  • Till the soil to make it loose and airy.
  • Avoid heavy clay soils that retain too much water.

Planting

  • Sow cucumber seeds after the last frost.
  • Plant seeds at a depth of 2 cm in the soil.
  • Space the plants 50 to 60 cm apart to encourage growth.
  • Provide a trellis or support for climbing varieties.

Watering

  • Water regularly to keep the soil moist but not soggy.
  • Water early in the morning to reduce evaporation.
  • Avoid watering the leaves directly to prevent diseases.
  • Use mulch to retain soil moisture.

Fertilizing

  • Apply a nitrogen-rich fertilizer to boost early growth.
  • Supplement with a potassium-rich fertilizer to encourage fruit production.
  • Avoid over-fertilizing to prevent root burn.

Pest control

  • Watch for aphids and spider mites, and treat if necessary.
  • Use yellow sticky traps to monitor pests.
  • Practice crop rotation to prevent soil-borne diseases.
