All summer residents strive to grow large, beautiful, juicy and crispy cucumbers that will complement a salad or sandwich.
To achieve the desired result, gardeners feed the plants. The necessary fertilizer helps to increase the harvest by 2-3 times.
The number of ovaries is affected by one important feeding. But experienced gardeners do not forget about the harmonious development of plants. Plantings are fed based on a comprehensive approach.
Fertilizers for cucumbers
There are two fertilizers that cucumbers love. Boric acid and potassium sulfate can increase the yield several times.
But when growing cucumbers, it is worth remembering that they require three main elements: nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus. With uniform application of fertilizers, the green mass and roots will be strong, and fruiting will increase.
Fertilization
Experienced gardeners advise not to water cucumbers at the root, but to apply fertilizers on the leaves. It is believed that this crop prefers foliar application.
Take half a dose of any fertilizer that dissolves in water. Spray the cucumbers on the leaves with the solution. This increases the number of ovaries.
