You can often find that outwardly attractive vegetables have a characteristic bitter taste.
These cucumbers can be eaten, since the presence of bitterness does not indicate that they are harmful.
However, many do not like the taste of such fruits. In order to avoid such an unpleasant fact, the scientist agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", recommends familiarizing yourself with the list of the main reasons that can lead to such a result.
What do they consist of?
Fluid balance
First of all, it is important to remember that lack of water is the most common reason for tasteless cucumbers.
Avoid long gaps in watering the crop and apply the required amount of water.
Clay soil
Often the reason lies in heavy clay soil. Therefore, first you will need to carry out a series of works to improve the quality of the soil and only then begin planting cucumbers.
Nutrients
If cucumbers are regularly "underfed", they grow poorly and cannot boast of a pleasant taste. Therefore, it is customary to apply fertilizers throughout the season.
Stress
The cause of this phenomenon may be unfavorable weather conditions with a sharp change in temperature. Also, stress factors include interest from pests.
