20.06.2023 21:48

Problems with leaves are the scourge of cucumbers. Yellowing causes a reduction in yield and stops the growth of fruits.

Seedlings need help with special fertilizers, which were used back in the days of the USSR.

The composition that we want to offer has been tested by time and many summer residents use it to this day.

To prepare the solution, take 10 liters of water, 1 liter of mullein, 30 grams of superphosphate, 10 grams of urea and potassium sulfate.

Note that superphosphate does not dissolve well in water and therefore you will have to prepare an extract.

Top dressing should be done after planting and after the first ovary has appeared. The amount of ingredients changes slightly - you need to take 15 grams of urea and sulfate.

This composition will provide cucumbers with complete nutrition and allow the plant to adapt properly. It also increases the chance of achieving a good yield.

Fertilizer is used in case of problems with the growth of leaves and fruits.
