By the appearance of the zucchini, you can determine the moment when they need the help of a gardener.
No gardener would want to lose the future zucchini harvest in the spring. But such an outcome is quite possible due to improper care.
This is why young plants need to be inspected regularly to correct the situation in a timely manner.
Dangerous sign
If during the next inspection, summer residents notice that the zucchini leaves have turned yellow and curled, they take immediate action. The fact is that this is a very alarming sign.
In this case, we are talking about marginal necrosis. Most often, it occurs due to a deficiency of water-retaining elements. In most cases, the plant lacks potassium.
How to save a plant
Marginal necrosis is treatable. The plant can be saved if you do not hesitate and use potassium monophosphate. This remedy is used to feed zucchini.
Potassium is present in many fertilizers. The higher its proportion in the preparation, the better.
