Why many gardeners are against feeding cucumbers with aspirin: another drug from the pharmacy is needed
On the Internet you can find a lot of advice on how to improve the fruiting of any crop, including cucumbers.
For example, some recipes use aspirin as a main ingredient.
It is believed that this ingredient can increase the immunity of plants and provide them with protection against fungal diseases. Acetylsalicylic acid, a derivative of salicylic acid, helps to achieve this effect.
The problem is that acetylsalicylic acid does not have the same properties as salicylic acid.
Therefore, adding aspirin to cucumber beds is a waste of time and money.
Instead, experienced gardeners advise going to the pharmacy for salicylic acid.
According to them, after watering cucumbers with a solution based on this preparation, the cucumbers grow tastier.
And those who want to be 100 percent sure of the result should abandon folk methods and use immunostimulants to increase resistance to diseases, for example, "Immunocytophyte", "Narcissus", humates, EM series preparations, homeopathic preparations and microfertilizers.
