Everyone knows that in good weather you can harvest vegetables for a long time, so there will definitely be no shortage of cucumbers.
However, doubts may arise the moment you see the ovaries falling off.
This means that the harvest will either be greatly reduced or completely lost, clarifies the scientist agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication BelNovosti.
What is the reason for this situation?
You didn't monitor the planting density.
During the entire summer cottage season, it is worth assessing the condition of the plantings for their density. Clearly yellow leaves should be removed, since they are of no use in any case.
It is important to remove the stepchildren as well.
If you notice that some of the cucumbers look bad, you can remove them too. After caring for the cucumbers and thinning them out, you can stop the process of ovary loss.
Fertilizers
If cucumbers have been bearing fruit for a decent amount of time, then it is worth thinking about adding nutrients. If the plant simply does not have the resources, then it will consider it necessary to get rid of the ovaries.
Therefore, periodically fertilize to maintain the balance of nutrients.
Temperature
It is extremely difficult to influence this factor, but a solution can be found. It is known that the fall of ovaries is often a consequence of sudden temperature changes.
Therefore, weather fluctuations should be a signal to use covering materials.
