The right equipment

For growing cucumbers in a greenhouse, you need products for different growing stages. Before the cucumber crop is planted in the greenhouse, the greenhouse can be equipped with:
  • Disinfect the cucumber greenhouse and consider the personal hygiene, for example with hygiene stations, to prevent diseases and viruses entering the greenhouse.
  • Substrate mats in hydrophonics cultivation, like Grodan with their Grodan Vital substrate mats.
  • Use twines for proper cucumber support for the growing cucumber plants, like the jute twine cucumber
  • For grafting of the Cucurbits (cucumber, (water)melon and zucchini) Brinkman has designed special grafting clips for top grafting and for approximation grafting.

Crop care for cucumbers

When the growing cucumber plants are in the greenhouse you have to think of the following products:
  • A decent cucumber fertilizer is essential to get the most out of your growing cucumbers, like the cucumber fertilizer Fertigro
  • Biological crop protection for cucumber plant support in fighting pests. By starting early you don't give pests a chance to develop in your crop.
  • Spraying equipment is used worldwide to apply pesticides and to use for cleaning tasks.
  • Sticky traps for monitoring and mass-trapping of flying insects
  • By applying a shading agents or diffuse coating to the greenhouse roof , you create  a optimal greenhouse climate and prevent peaks.
  • PH meters help to check the pH value, or the acidity, in soil, feed water, drain water and dropping-pits.
  • Knives to make sure that no damage is done to the growing cucumber plant during harvesting, and leaf cutting. A useful knife is the 40 mm round.
  • Have you also thought of an optimal internal transport in your greenhouse, to make sure harvested cucumbers can be packed as quickly as possible?
