Many have heard that ammonia-based fertilizer can work wonders on cucumbers.
But it must be used correctly and in a timely manner.
Therefore, it is necessary to know about the signs that indicate the need for this fertilizer, clarifies the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", landscape designer and scientist-agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
How to understand that cucumbers will not mind ammonia
Leaves
First of all, you should pay attention to the leaves. Cucumbers that do not need fertilizing have bright green leaves. If the color has become dull and even yellowish, then it is time for ammonia.
Development
It is also worth paying attention to how correctly the plants are developing. If the process is slower than usual, then it is worth feeding the cucumbers with ammonia.
Bloom
This process should also take place in a timely manner. If you notice that flowering is late in all terms, then it is worth fertilizing.
Plant quality
Healthy cucumbers that are well developed and do not need anything, react calmly to frost, have leaves of the correct size and are not prone to breakage.
How to make a nutrient solution
As a rule, the decision on the need for feeding is made if you notice at least two signs from this list.
Afterwards, you need to water the cucumbers.
Next, add three tablespoons of ammonia to a bucket of water and apply the fertilizer. You can use it once every seven days.
