AI Technical Summary
Current cucumber cultivation suffers from problems such as low fruit set rate, deformed fruit, and insufficient aroma. Existing dipping techniques are difficult to control precisely and pose a risk of pesticide damage, leading to a decline in fruit flavor.
A water-soluble fertilizer containing potassium dihydrogen phosphate, compound amino acids, and ultra-low concentration chlorpyrifos was used to evenly dip cucumber female flowers into the fertilizer, thereby activating the internal aroma metabolism pathways of the fruit and increasing the accumulation of volatile aroma substances.
It significantly increases the horizontal diameter, vertical diameter, and single fruit weight of cucumbers, while also increasing the total content of volatile aroma compounds, especially (E,Z)-2,6-nonadienal and (E)-2-nonenal, thus improving the aroma quality of the fruit.
