Premature yellowing of a cucumber bed is a process that no gardener would like to see.

Perhaps the most offensive thing is that this phenomenon has many causes, so it is difficult to name the factor that led to the yellowing of plants in this particular case.

Yellowing of cucumbers can be caused by excessively dry air, frequent planting, lack of nutrition, heat or, conversely, excessively cold weather, and so on and so forth.

But still, such a reason as pathogens, which become especially active from the second half of July, probably takes first place on this list.

Therefore, if you don’t cultivate the beds, you can forget about cucumbers in August.

So, as they say, we got to work preparing the healing composition.

To do this, you will need to add 2 teaspoons of dimexide to a 10-liter bucket of water, as well as 1 glass of liquid Trichodermin and 1 ampoule of zircon (1 ml).

Spray the cucumber beds with the resulting mixture, and if there is any solution left, treat the zucchini, tomatoes and other plants.
