Why do zucchini ovaries rot: you may be left without a harvest
Zucchini is an essential ingredient for many dishes, which can also serve as a traditional summer gift not only to family and friends, but also to neighbors and even strangers.
True, you can only become a generous donor if the zucchini harvest doesn’t let you down.
But if it was noticed that many of the ovaries that formed on the bush began to rot, you should not count on a large number of vegetables.
In order to solve such a problem, you first need to understand the reason for its occurrence.
So, one of the most common factors is banal over-watering. Work on your mistakes and reduce the frequency and volume of watering.
In addition, when irrigating beds with zucchini, you should carefully ensure that the water flows under the roots and does not get on the ovaries.
The cause of rotting may also be a lack of potassium. In this case, it is worth feeding the squash with ash. You can simply pour a handful of ash under the bush and water it.
If a boron deficiency is detected, use a boric acid solution, for the preparation of which you will need 2 g of the preparation per bucket of water. One plant requires 2 liters of such a preparation.
Finally, rotting zucchini may be due to a lack of iodine. In this situation, fill a bucket with water, add 3 drops of iodine and water the plants.
