A change in the color of the leaf blades on cucumber bushes is a very dangerous signal.

This phenomenon often precedes a partial or complete loss of the garden crop harvest.

The fact is that yellowing of leaves indicates a lack of moisture or nutrients.

In addition, the yellow color of the plant is often considered a manifestation of a fungal disease.

You can save cucumbers even in this situation. One folk remedy will come to the rescue.

A lifesaver

Onion peels will help return cucumber leaves to their original color and preserve the vegetable harvest. Or rather, an infusion created on their basis.

You need to take a bucket that is made of heat-resistant material.

Place the onion peel into the container and fill it with water. For 10 liters of liquid - one glass of vegetable scraps.

The mixture brought to a boil should be left alone for a couple of hours.

The cooled infusion should be passed through a filter surface.

All that remains is to pour the prepared liquid onto the soil under the plant. You can also lightly spray the leaves.

An infusion of onion peel will help to feed the plant (as it contains a lot of potassium and other microelements), and replenish the moisture deficit, and protect the garden crop from fungal diseases (primarily from fusarium).
