• Reckless.

When choosing a seedling method of seed germination, it is recommended to adhere to the following planting scheme:

1. Seed disinfection. Disinfection of seed is carried out by soaking it in a ready-made disinfectant solution or in one that is prepared independently. Experienced gardeners recommend using a weak solution of manganese.
2. Soil preparation. For successful germination of seeds, they are placed in nutritious soil mixture, which can be purchased at a specialized store.
3. The choice of containers. Capacities for landing should be easily separated from an earthen coma.
4. Sowing. Sowing seeds is carried out to a depth of not more than 10 mm.
5. Constant temperature support. For rapid seed germination, experienced summer residents recommend maintaining the room temperature at around +25 degrees Celsius.After the appearance of the first shoots, the temperature regime should be lowered to +15 degrees Celsius. Compliance with this rule will harden seedlings and increase its resistance to changing weather conditions.
6. Regular watering. Watering is carried out as the top layer of the soil dries up with water at room temperature.
7. Good lighting. Seedlings need bright, diffused light.

The seedless germination method is carried out according to the classical scheme:

1. Disinfection. Seeds are disinfected in a solution of manganese.
2. Soil preparation. Before sowing seeds, organic fertilizers are introduced into the soil.
3. Sowing. The treated seed material is placed in the soil to a depth of not more than 2 cm.
4. Greenhouse conditions. It is recommended to cover the beds with a dense film, which allows creating favorable conditions for seed germination. The film is removed after the appearance of the first shoots.
5. When arranging cucumber bushes on the beds, you should adhere to the 15 by 60 cm pattern. Transplanting seedlings is carried out by the transshipment method, which helps to maintain the root system of the plant.

5. Regular, moderate watering. Excessive moisture leads to decay of the root system, and its lack leads to a decrease in yield.
6. Timely collection of ripened greens. Ripe fruits that remain on the bushes prevent the formation of new ovaries.
7. Maintain a normal level of soil moisture. Neutral Ph support is recommended.
