Yellowing cucumber leaves are a signal for help, not the approach of autumn.
Any self-respecting gardener should know what to do in this case.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", an agronomist and landscape designer, told how to save cucumbers.
First, adjust the watering regime.
When cucumbers bloom and bear fruit, they are watered once every 2-3 days. At the same time, 10 liters of water should be poured into 1 sq. m of soil.
Secondly, the air temperature is important
Greenhouse cucumbers may start to turn yellow indoors. The structure should be regularly ventilated.
If you do not ventilate the greenhouse, the cucumbers will not only turn yellow, but may also suffer from pests or fungal diseases.
Third, nutrients
Infrequent fertilizing or dense planting can also cause yellowing.
Therefore, during the fruiting period, one must not forget about fertilizing.
You also need to remember about pest control.
