Cool summer won't harm cucumber harvest: this remedy minimizes harm
Even bad weather will not prevent cucumbers from actively bearing fruit.
There are years when a really warm summer is late. Because of this, some crops may suffer.
Plants do not always die. Sometimes the yield simply decreases, and the appearance of the first fruits is postponed to a later date.
For example, this can happen with cucumbers. To keep the plant in good shape, it is worth using foliar feeding.
To do this you will need:
- water – 10 l;
- kefir – 1 glass;
- urea – 1 tsp;
- "Zircon" - 1 ml.
You need to mix all three components in water and then spray the cucumbers thoroughly.
The composition of the fertilizer will strengthen the immunity of plants and stimulate their growth. In addition, cucumbers will tolerate cold better and will be more resistant to diseases and pests.
Cucumbers are heat-loving plants. They will survive a short-term drop in temperature. But if it does not exceed +10 …+12 °C for several days, the cucumbers may die.
