Timing of fertilizing

The best time is considered to be before 10 am. During this period of the day, cucumbers have time to absorb useful microelements. It is not advisable to carry out such feeding in the evening, because the cucumber leaves will not have time to absorb moisture and will remain wet throughout the night.
