Tomatoes and cucumbers are common vegetables in daily life. They are rich in nutritional value. Both can be eaten raw or cooked. They are popular among consumers. Currently, farmers have set tomatoes and cucumbers. Planting, in fact, the two are in the planting management is a pair of "home", this is not a correct way of planting.
I don't know if you have found that tomato and cucumber are interplanted in the same field. Generally, there are three kinds of situations: 1 the tomato grows well, but the cucumber grows bad; 2 the cucumber grows well, but the tomato grows bad; 3 Both tomato and cucumber are not good, and the yield is not high! There is basically no good or high yield at the same time!
Some people may be skeptical, and some people may not be able to ask: Why is it that the tomato and cucumber grow together? Let me talk about the specific reasons below:
First, the root exudates inhibit each other, and the root soil requires different watering difficulties.
Everyone knows that tomato is a kind of longitudinal root crop with deep roots. The depth of the main root is about 20-40 cm. The drought tolerance and the ability of deep soil to absorb water and fertilizer are strong. See the wet soil watering environment. Conducive to the development and growth of the root system, in the usual management we also often through the cultivating to promote the roots in the soil to move down; and cucumber is a shallow roots of the fibrous roots, the depth of the soil is generally only about 15-25 cm, due to the root system The soil is shallow and has poor water absorption capacity. It mainly absorbs the moisture of the topsoil and needs to be watered frequently to maintain a moist soil environment to promote the development and growth of cucumber roots.
Then the problem comes: tomato and cucumber are planted together, which is beneficial to the growth of tomato. It will destroy the cucumber roots in shallow soil. The root regeneration ability of cucumber is poor. Once it is injured, it is difficult to germinate new roots, which is bound to produce cucumber. It has an adverse effect; whether it is to take the watering for the growth of cucumber, or to take the wet and watering method which is conducive to the growth of tomato, it will be detrimental to the development of the roots of the other side, and the watering work is very difficult to handle. In addition, because the different secretions of tomato and cucumber roots in the soil will inhibit each other's growth, this is also a difficult problem to solve.
Second, the temperature and humidity growth environment needs different, not easy to reconcile
Tomato is warm, hi-light, and heat-resistant. The most suitable growth environment is: temperature 20-25 degrees, soil moisture 60-80%, air humidity 40-50%; and cucumber temperature, wet, water demand, The most suitable growth environment is: temperature 25-32 degrees, soil moisture 60-70%, air humidity 80-85%.
Then the problem comes: tomato and cucumber plant together, first of all, there is no regulation in temperature and humidity, temperature and humidity are too low, it will inhibit the growth of cucumber, temperature and humidity are too high, it will inhibit the growth of tomato, it is easy to induce more Disease hazards. The two are planted together, and the humidity at room temperature is not well regulated.
Third, it is easy to form a depressed environment, resulting in growth inhibition and production reduction
Adequate lighting conditions and good ventilation conditions are the basis for the high yield of tomatoes and cucumbers. But unfortunately, both tomatoes and cucumbers belong to crop varieties with high vines, high leaf density, and longitudinal growth, which affect each other's growth.
Then the problem came: during the period of their vigorous growth, their “leaf and leafy†blocked each other from light and shade, causing the field environment to be closed and airtight. Under such circumstances, on the one hand, due to insufficient light and poor ventilation conditions, the growth and development results will be inhibited, and even tomatoes will have serious problems of falling flowers and fruit, and on the other hand, carbon dioxide in the greenhouse will be caused. The concentration will be greatly reduced, so that the photosynthesis of the two is insufficient, which is not conducive to the formation and evacuation of carbohydrates, and it is easy to cause malnutrition. At the same time, it is easy to induce a variety of pest and disease hazards in an environment where the wind is not closed and the light is insufficient.
Fourth, the disease will be aggravated
Diseases such as mildew, blight, anthracnose, epidemic diseases, and viral diseases are common in both tomato and cucumber. When they are planted together, they will cause diseases to breed and spread each other, making the disease worse, and it is very difficult to prevent and cure.
