Gardeners with many years of experience have managed to establish that cucumber ovaries can turn yellow and fall off if the supply of nutrients in the soil has run out.

In addition, sensitive plants may react in this way to the incorrect ratio of additives introduced.

For this reason, before you start planting cucumbers, it is worth adding manure to the beds - for 1 "square" summer residents advise using 30 kg with mandatory digging to a depth of 25 cm.

If everything is done correctly, subsequent fertilizing with manure is simply not necessary to avoid yellowing and falling of the ovaries.

Instead, you should prepare a solution of 10 liters of water, a tablespoon of urea and 3 tablespoons of wood ash.

Stir the resulting mixture and use it to spray the stems.

In addition, take a closer look at such drugs as "Rastvorin", "Brexil calcium", "Master", "Kristalon" and "Kemira". They are used in accordance with the instructions.

Finally, fertilize the cucumber beds with wood ash - you will need 300 g per 1 square meter.
