The second half of summer is the period when cucumber bushes need special protection.
The fact is that the peak activity of aphids and spider mites occurs in July and August.
These insects spread diseases that are dangerous to cucumbers.
Therefore, the goal of the summer resident is to protect the popular garden crop from “uninvited guests” of the country plot.
Nothing terrible will happen to the plant, and the future harvest can be saved if the gardener performs one not very difficult procedure twice a week.
What to do when growing cucumbers
Expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", scientist-agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh reminds: it is necessary to inspect cucumber beds once every 3-4 days.
Take your time, be attentive. Your task is to find and remove the weeds.
The fact is that it is precisely on these “extra plants” that pests that are very dangerous for cucumbers may be present.
Use of preventive measures
And the owner of a country plot should also use products that protect cucumbers from pests and diseases.
