Why do zucchini rot in the garden: mistakes to avoid

Nobody wants to watch squash rot right in the garden: this jeopardizes the harvest.

Therefore, it is worth initially familiarizing yourself with the list of reasons that can lead to this result.

An expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh is confident that knowledge of these reasons will protect against unpleasant consequences.

What do they consist of?

Crop rotation

First of all, it is worth remembering about crop rotation: if you ignore this recommendation, you can lose a good harvest of vegetable crops.

Incorrect watering

There are two important points to remember. Zucchini should not be watered with cold water, and you should not add excessive amounts of moisture. Both of these mistakes can cause zucchini to rot in the garden.

Nitrogen

Many gardeners mistakenly consider nitrogen to be a virtually universal fertilizer that can be applied without control or negative consequences.

But this is a misconception.

Too much nitrogen can cause the crop to rot.
