How not to water cucumbers so as not to be left without a harvest: 90% of summer residents do not know
It is difficult to find a garden plot where cucumbers are not grown. This is a tasty vegetable that is easy to grow and requires moderate care.
One of the most important aspects of crop care is watering. If you do it incorrectly, the yield will suffer.
Therefore, you need to take the issue of watering the beds seriously.
First of all, you need to remember that you should not use cold water when moistening the beds. This can cause serious damage to the fragile roots, which will ultimately lead to a delay in the growth of the crop.
Also, do not water the beds from above. Wetting the leaves and stems can lead to the appearance of fungus, damage the flowers. It is much better to use a drip irrigation system or you can pour water at the base of the plant.
The procedure must be carried out in the morning so that the culture has time to dry and rest before darkness sets in.
You can't water plants during the hot afternoon. The water will evaporate quickly and the soil will remain dry. As a result, the plants will suffer from a lack of moisture.
In addition, it should be noted that watering during the hottest time can lead to burns on the stems and leaves.
