It is no secret that the taste of cucumbers will largely depend on how correctly you were able to water them.

If there are errors, the fruits may grow bitter, small and deformed.

Also, the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , landscape designer and scientist agronomist, notes that errors in the process of carrying out this important task can cause the appearance of diseases.

What is the correct way to water cucumbers at the moment?

Since the period of active fruiting has now arrived, the watering method remains the same, but the frequency and volume of moisture application change.

It is best to apply moisture before nine o'clock in the morning. The liquid is applied exclusively under the root, so try not to touch the foliage.

Up to 12 liters of water are taken per square meter, depending on the weather. An important point is that the liquid should be warm. Ideally, its temperature warms up to 28 degrees.

When watering, try to ensure that the soil is saturated to a depth of 20 centimeters. But the circumference should be about 15 centimeters.
