Field preparation of Cucumber

  • In the initial stage, the field is ploughed 4-5 times to make the land Friable and before the final ploughing, add 10-15 tons of ripe cow dung manure per acre of land.
  • If the soil is infested with nematodes & white ants or red ants, apply Carbofuran at the rate of 10 kg/acre. 
  • After levelling the field, 60 cm wide channels are made at a distance of 2.0- to 2.5 cm.
  • The length of the channel depends on the source of irrigation, season, rainfall and slope land.
