Causes of Deformed Cucumber and Ways to Prevent

When breeding early spring vegetables, due to the high salt concentration or the poor permeability of the soil, and the low temperature of the fields, the plants cannot absorb enough water from the soil to grow normally and the water balance in the organization is destroyed and the physiological activities can not perform. This phenomenon is known as the "physiological drought."
Generally speaking, cucumber should be relatively uniformed shape from top to bottom, but often there are deformed fruits, which not only affects the output, but also seriously reduce the quality of goods, and bring great losses to the farmers. Here are some prevention methods:
In general, lack of sunlight during growing period, high night temperatures, small temperature differences between day and night, the uneven watering quantity will lead to thin-waist cucumber. Too vigorous growth will cause bended cucumber. Inadequate nutrition during breeding period, weak growth and damages of aphids, downy mildew diseases will lead to malformed cucumber.
According to their causes of deformed fruit, corresponding measures should be taken. Pay attention the fertilizer and watering management of the fields. Keep appropriate temperature during the growing period, and the best temperature of daytime should not exceed 30 ℃, and the night temperature requirements are as follows: the first half night is 16-18 ℃, the second half night is 13-15 ℃, it is necessary to strengthen the management of ventilation to prevent high temperature over 30 ℃ , and ensure normal pollination to keep the symmetrical shape of the cucumbers.
Pay attention to the plant diseases and insect pests. Timely remove the diseased leaves to prevent the expansion of dissemination and spray 300 times solution of 40% B P Aluminum three to four times to ensure the healthy growth of the plant. (Reproduced)
