To increase the yield of cucumbers, sometimes very unexpected means can be used that are highly effective.
A great example is iodine.
With the help of this simple remedy, you can significantly improve the quality of the vegetable harvest, but it is important to use iodine correctly, reminds landscape designer and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti".
How to properly feed the culture with iodine
Combine it with ash
Based on two available ingredients, you can prepare an excellent fertilizer that is in no way inferior to specialized purchased fertilizers.
It is necessary to mix 100 grams of ash and 30 drops of iodine in a bucket of water. This fertilizer helps to form a large number of strong ovaries, which significantly increases the yield.
Use with baking soda
This product will help cucumbers better withstand adverse weather conditions. The proposed fertilizer also has a general strengthening effect.
To prepare a solution for spraying, you need to dissolve a large spoon of urea, two spoons of soda and thirty drops of iodine itself in 10 liters of water.
Fertilizing is especially effective in treating yellowed cucumber foliage.
