Tokyo F1 Cucumber Cultivation
The most suitable soil type for growing cucumber is sandy loamy or sandy soils, because of faster absorption of heat than other soil types so the steps involved in planting cumber include:
- Clear and plough: Clear and plough the farmland where you intend to farm cucumber, remove all unwanted things on the farmland because the land should not contain trees or shrubs. Note: that cucumber needs sunshine to grow very well, therefore they should be appropriately exposed to sunlight.
- Application of organic manure: Do this before making beds then you can apply pig, cow, or poultry droppings and allow for 3 days or more before planting.
- Include the drip irrigation system: Install drip irrigation systems especially if you are planting during the dry season, but there may not be a need for irrigation systems during the rainy seasons. Either way, have it in mind that cucumber requires enough water daily.
- Cover the beds with mulching films: Mulch to suppress weeds and conserve water in a cucumber field. The distance between one hole and the other should be about 40 – 50cm.
