How to prevent cucumber from getting bitter

How to prevent cucumber from getting bitter

1. Strictly control the retention of seeds.

Bitter cucumbers can be inherited, so when cucumbers are about to mature, select some of the melons on the surface to taste, and choose melons without bitterness to preserve seeds.

2. Balanced fertilization.

The use of nitrogen fertilizer should be controlled in the seedling stage, and then the amount of nitrogen fertilizer should be gradually increased. In the blooming and fruiting period, the ratio of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium absorption by cucumber is basically 5:2:6. If there is too much nitrogen or too little phosphorus and potassium, it is easy to produce bitterness .

3. Avoid high temperature.

When the ground temperature is above 30°C for too long, bitter melon will increase, so the temperature should be controlled.

Fourth, avoid drought.

In drought, bitter melons are more likely to be produced, so water them in time to avoid drought.

5. Actively control pests and diseases.

If the cucumber production environment is bad and the pests and diseases are serious, the bitterness of cucumber will increase. For cucumber common diseases, it is necessary to spray early to protect it.
