It is wiser to know in advance how to prevent cucumbers from becoming bitter.
In this case, you will be able to protect your harvest from the appearance of an unpleasant aftertaste.
As a rule, there are three reasons why vegetables can taste bitter, said Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert at the online publication BelNovosti, agronomist and landscape designer.
What do they consist of?
Moisture
It is important to always remember that water is the dominant component of cucumbers: it accounts for more than 90%. Therefore, it is extremely important to give cucumbers exactly as much water as they need.
It is especially important not to forget about vegetables in hot weather.
Nutrients
Summer residents who regularly grow quality cucumbers know that a lot of fertilizers need to be applied. However, there must be a system for this.
Therefore, apply nutrients depending on the needs of cucumbers at a particular stage of development.
Weather
If you start to notice that the weather is "jumping", then you need to take care of the covering material. It will be useful both on a hot day and on a cold night.
