In the struggle for a good harvest, the summer house must carefully care for his plants. If you grow cucumbers in the greenhouse, then in addition to watering and feeding, vegetables must be taped. In our article we will tell, why it is necessary to make such a procedure and basic ways to hold it.
Sliding cucumbers - a guarantee of good harvest
Any experienced dacket will confirm that the border of cucumbers gives a good result. But many ignore this process, considering it time-consuming and meaningless. The positive factors of tapping cucumbers in the greenhouse include:
- saves time during the harvest, facilitates work (cucumbers do not have to search in foliage, they are in open visibility);
- the plant is protected from mechanical effects;
- increases the formation of fruits several times;
- the tied cucumbers receive maximum sunlight (minimization of the process of inflorescence and fruits);
- the plant is perfectly ventilated;
- significantly saves place in the greenhouse (this makes it possible to increase the planting of the fruit).
The agronomists were studied and it was proved that tied cucumbers gave 100% healthy harvest, in contrast to plants that were not subjected to cultivation.
Weiss the cucumbers correct
The exact timing of cucumbers should be specified. The process is performed individually and depends on the variety. Approximately the procedure can be started when the plant reaches 30 cm in height. Take vegetables in the greenhouse much easier than in the open soil, since the design itself is already going with the supports that the plant can be fixed. The main methods of garter cucumbers include:
- the horizontal option is one of the easiest ways of tapping for novice gardens. If there are supports in your greenhouse, on which you can fix a strong rope (rope, twine, harness, etc.), it will greatly facilitate the process. If there are no supports, then they must be made of a metal pipe of a small diameter or wooden rods. The selected material is well consolidated and pull the rope. Trying not to disturb the integrity of the stem, tear the plant to the support. The only minus of this option is to reach the maximum height, the plant will begin to hang and create a shadow. Therefore, horizontal binding is selected for high support elements;
- the vertical option is a rather time-consuming, but very justified way of care of plants. On the installation supports (from the edge to the edge of the row), stretch the strong harness or twine (can also be replaced with a wooden stick if the design is strong). Tensioning must be performed almost at the very height of the design. Cut the old sheet to stripes, secure each top rope with a strong node, and to tie the cucumber stem to the second end. The amount of tensioned tissue strips should be proportional to the number of bushes. Fabric strips can be replaced with wooden sticks, but fasten them on the top rope will be difficult;
- the use of a special grid is in the stores "Garden and Garden" you can purchase a grid for tapping cucumbers. Outwardly, it resembles a chain grid with larger compartments, it is made of durable twine. It greatly facilitates the care of the culture. Install the grid in the greenhouse with the help of supports. The plant will be chained in the design in an arbitrary order.
Sades show the smelting and make structures for tapping from a variety of materials. The best plastic bottles that need to be cut are proven.
Is it possible to do without tapping?
The opinion of gardeners about the cultivation procedure is diverged. But most of the experienced workers are still convinced of the efficiency of the method. Before making a decision, we advise you to pay attention to some nuances if the cucumbers do not support:
- your crop will be significantly less;
- cucumbers can be deformed;
- the greenhouse will look inactively;
- the ability to quickly collect crop minimizes.
Please note that even when tapping cucumbers, you must follow the state of the plant. Mandatory irrigation, care and fertilizer is the key to the success of effective growing green vegetable.
