Some summer residents believe that there is no need to waste time on feeding pumpkins, since the crop itself can grow large and high-quality.
However, it is still necessary to apply fertilizers.
Thanks to this, one can be sure that the harvest will grow as it should, says Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert at the online publication BelNovosti, a scientist, agronomist and landscape designer.
How to properly apply nutrients?
Preparation
It is important to remember that before adding the most nutritious composition, you need to prepare the pumpkin. To do this, remove excess ovaries, which will clearly not yield a harvest.
It is also necessary to remove unnecessary lashes if possible. Pinching is also recommended.
Soil
It is important to pay due attention to the soil itself. If there are weeds, they need to be removed. But the soil itself needs to be loosened.
This will allow the fertilizers to be absorbed into the soil more efficiently.
Watering
Before applying the compositions, you need to water. After the soil is properly moistened, you can apply fertilizers.
They do this either early in the morning or after sunset.
