Cucumber can be grown on open-field farms or different technological level greenhouse.
Cucumber is a Cucurbitaceae family vegetable that grows in trellis meshes and other support structures, thanks to which it has thin tendrils to hold itself.
The best cucumber yields vary depending on the cultivation system, achieving good results in greenhouses with irrigation and climate control systems. As such, cucumbers can be 60 cm long and 10 cm in diameter.
Cucumber growing requirements
The cucumber plant in greenhouse grows at a rapid rate, so fruit production begins between 60 and 70 days after planting. If you meet their demands:
They can tolerate high or very low temperatures and humidity for a short period of time, but this slows down growth and lengthens the production cycle.
How to grow cucumbers successfully?
Cucumber cultivation requires space and is prone to disease during its developmental stage. Therefore, it is increasingly produced in a controlled environment.
In this case, the multi-span greenhouses with a high roof design (greater luminosity) and equipped with irrigation control technology, fertigation, and climate, guarantee a cucumber high yield and high-quality harvests throughout the year.
Especially if you add water treatment and pest control equipment.
