If you want to have enough cucumbers not only for summer salads, but also for canning, then you need to think about options for increasing the yield.
Some methods are simple enough that they won't require much effort or expense on your part.
For example, it is worth paying attention to foliar treatments, advises Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", a scientist agronomist and landscape designer.
Which options can be called the best?
Saltpeter
This product not only helps to increase the amount of harvest, but also prevents the development of fungal diseases. It is easy to prepare the product: take twenty grams of fertilizer per ten liters of water.
In total, two additional feedings are required. The interval between procedures is one and a half weeks. Spraying should be done before the tomatoes begin to actively ripen.
Boric acid
In summer, difficult weather conditions can often be a problem, so it would be wise to prepare cucumbers for this kind of test in advance.
You will need to first dilute ten grams of the preparation in hot liquid, and then dilute it in 12 liters of water.
It is worth noting that boric acid is used before the ovaries themselves appear.
