There is no greater disappointment for summer residents who grow cucumbers than the huge number of barren flowers.
To ensure that the harvest does not disappoint, and that the first crispy and juicy fruits hit the table in June, you need to feed the cucumbers.
An expert of the online publication BelNovosti, agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh told what will help increase the number of ovaries on cucumbers.
How to fertilize cucumbers
1. Organic fertilizers. For example, you can use compost or humus, which contain the necessary nutrients for plant growth.
2. Complex fertilizers: nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium mixtures, humic acids. They contain all the necessary elements in an optimal ratio and can be used both for watering and for application under the root.
3. Biofertilizers. For example, you can use humate-based preparations that improve the absorption of nutrients by plants.
