The appearance of yellow, red or brown spots on the leaf blades of cucumbers is a very bad sign.
Apparently, the plant has encountered a fungal or bacterial disease.
It could be rust, powdery mildew, bacterial blight, anthracnose, or some other disease.
There is no need to panic in such a situation. It is quite possible to save the garden crop.
And for this it is not at all necessary to use expensive drugs.
You can prepare the ideal remedy for “treating” the plant yourself.
What needs to be mixed
In a deep container, combine the following components:
- baking soda (1 tbsp);
- aspirin (1 tablet);
- vegetable oil (1 tbsp);
- dishwashing gel (1 tsp) - it is needed to ensure that the composition remains on the surface of the leaf blades.
All this needs to be filled with five liters of clean liquid.
After thorough mixing, you will get a product that needs to be poured into a spray bottle.
Cucumbers affected by diseases should be doused with drops of this mixture 2-3 times a month.
Such treatment will increase the chances of “recovery” of the garden crop and preservation of the vegetable harvest.
