Strong and aromatic fruits are the result of careful plant care and correct and balanced application of various fertilizers.

Experienced gardeners know that feeding this crop is a tricky process. Not every remedy will do.

In addition, it is important to know what to use and when.

The most common mistake in the process of growing cucumbers is fertilizing with ammonia.

Some gardeners are ready to actively use this product at any stage of cultivation, but this is a big mistake.

The fact is that ammonia-based fertilizer can only be used in the first week after the emergence of seedlings.

After all, ammonia is nitrogen, and it is necessary only at the initial stage for normal growth of green mass.

It is important to remember that you cannot overdo it with fertilizers, otherwise it will negatively affect the condition of the fruit crop.
