How to form cucumbers in the greenhouse

To achieve a good crop of cucumbers - not easy. To do this, you need to know certain secrets of cultivation and provide the right care to plants. The formation of cucumbers is an effective method of care, which makes it possible to save space, increase the illumination of the stems and improve the yield.

For the cultivation of cucumbers in the greenhouses, mainly horizontal choplars are used. In the greenhouse at an altitude of approximately one and a half or two meters, the rows stretch the wire (cross section 4 mm). Between the rows, the distance is at least 40 cm. The stretch is tied with cucumber shoots to create a vertical location. But the garter does not guarantee a good harvest. Stable lighting of the entire stem, the lack of rotting and reducing the thickness of the plant is achieved only by targeted formation of cucumber plants. Methods of formation directly depend on the features of the hybrids grown by you.

How traditional varieties of cucumbers are formed. Cucumber is a capricious vegetable, requiring certain conditions for fruitful growth. Robes engaged in breeding popular varieties in the past are confident that taste qualities, aroma and salting ability they have much more efficiently than that of modern. What you need to know to obtain an excellent crop:

Traditional grades form more fruiting flowers on lateral shoots. The main stem has most male flowers (empty flowers). To achieve the goal you need multiple branching. The main stem is pumped after the fifth real leaf. It enhances the growth of side stems and increases the wound.
Do not let the side of side shoots in the samonek so that the greenhouse does not turn into the jungle. Slide them, cancel the yellowed, the fallen and below the leaves below.
Take the sharp knife or scissors, in order not to have occurred, contributing to the appearance of mildew.
If there are many male flowers on lateral shoots, do not rush them remove them. Try to dry the soil so that the nutrients fall to the plants.
If it does not help, pinch the top and let the new side escape.

How hybrid varieties of cucumbers are formed. New and hybrid varieties have a different type of flowering. They either do not possess emptyweights, or there are few of them, so plants are formed on another principle:

First, we leave five sheets, and we delete all shoots and wound so that the root remains open, it was well ventilated, and the rot around it was not formed.
When the escape has grown, all mustache and side processes located in a half-meter from the ground, we delete. We leave only the ovary, so that the side stems do not take power, intended for the main run.
Further, the shoots are plugged with the second sheet. This is done in such a way that only zeror remains. Such manipulations are carried out somewhere to 1.3 m. As a result, two cucumbers will be in the nodes.
Above 1.3-1.6 meters, the squeezing produce over the 3rd or 4th sheet to remain 3-4 wounds.

If the stem reached the wire, three or four leaf remains on it, and the stem himself pumped. The sheets are wrapped around the support, and the stem is tied. When side shoots appear, they are pulled out and pinch at a distance of one and a half meters from the ground. If it is true to carry out the formation of a bush, then a long fruiting is guaranteed. All manipulations spend carefully, without changing the finding of adult shoots, without turning the leaves and wound. They can stop growth and ship.

Paging increases the amount of harvest and extends the "youth" of plants. Under autumn, when at night cool, gardeners produce plants rejuvenation. Gently divide the stems, removing without obscene, cut off the yellowed and sick leaves. Plug internal shoots. The holes are loosened, sprinkling a peat with 1 tsp. ash. The soil watered a warm decoction. Cucumbers begin to throw out flowers intensively, but the fruits grow less.

However, each rule has exceptions, and adjustments are made to the formation process based on experience. Therefore, we do not advise you to plant new varieties annually.
