On average, 12.1 kg of large cucumbers can be harvested per square meter with proper cultivation and care.

Growing and caring

Growing a cucumber is not difficult when you consider a few simple guidelines and basic steps. First of all, you need to take care of seed germination. Planting Peking cucumber for seedlings begins mainly in mid-spring. First, the seeds are planted for seedlings in pre-prepared containers, using fertile mixtures from gardening shops as soil. The seeds are buried 2-3 cm in the ground, and then watered abundantly. It is important to ensure that the humidity in the room is high, otherwise the plant survival rate will deteriorate. The cucumbers are transplanted into the greenhouse when the seedlings form the first two leaves.

In order to achieve the maximum yield, it is also necessary to provide timely and high-quality plant care. The main steps are as follows.

  • Watering. The variety is distinguished by fragile roots, therefore, when adding liquid to the soil, care should be taken to ensure that the procedure is neat. On average, gardeners recommend watering the variety twice a week using lukewarm and settled water. During a drought, watering should be increased; in rains, it is better to slightly reduce the amount of liquid applied.
  • Top dressing. The first fertilizers should be applied at the very beginning of the growth of the cucumber, when it needs a large amount of nutrients. It is better to use nitrogen mixtures or complex fertilizers as top dressing.Further, fertilizing is applied weekly, alternating between different compositions.
  • Weeding and loosening. Two mandatory procedures carried out after each watering.

Additionally, it is worth taking care of the timely garter of cucumbers. As soon as the stems begin to curl along the ground, it will be necessary to install the pegs, stretch the ropes between them and tie the cucumber stems to them. The procedure should be carried out carefully so as not to harm the plant.

Soil requirements

The Beijing gourmet cucumber is grown in many regions of the country. Planting in a greenhouse guarantees a quick establishment of the plant and provides a high yield rate. But before you start planting, you need to take care of the quality of the soil.

It is better to plant a Beijing gourmet on sandy loam or loam; black soil will also be the best option. The soil in which the cucumber will grow should be moderately moist, since the plant is quite moisture-loving. You also need to take care of the regular loosening of the soil.

If the cucumber is planned to be planted outdoors, then preference should be given to elevated and lighted areas where there are no drafts. The water table should be neither too high nor too low so that the plant does not rot and receives the optimal amount of moisture.

Before planting, fertilizer must be applied to the soil. The best solution would be to use organic compounds that will reduce the acidity of the soil and add the necessary nutrients to the soil.

In order to collect strong, tasty and beautiful cucumbers on your site, you need to make top dressing. Lack of nutrients can negatively affect the appearance of the plant and significantly reduce the yield. Fertilize cucumbers with organic fertilizers in combination with mineral fertilizers. With the right balance of these components and adherence to the fertilizing schedule, the cucumber yield will be maximum.

Disease and pest resistance

The Peking Gourmet variety is quite resistant to most popular diseases. However, this does not mean that the plant cannot get sick and die. Often powdery mildew tries to prevent cucumbers, spider mites and aphids also attack.

Special formulations, which can be purchased at any gardening store, will help to strengthen the immunity of the plant and prevent the invasion of insects. Preventive treatment is recommended before planting and before the formation of ovaries.

Despite their popularity, cucumbers are often attacked by diseases and pests. From them, cucumber plantings often die before the start of fruiting. In order to prevent this from happening, it is necessary to try to prevent ailments or get rid of them at the very beginning, having studied in detail their causes of occurrence, signs and methods of treatment.
