August is coming soon - a difficult period for summer residents.
The final third of summer is associated with harvesting.
In addition, this month gardeners continue to care for those plants that are still bearing fruit.
Cucumbers are a good example.
Using the correct August feeding will help improve the taste of the fruits being formed, as well as significantly extend the fruiting period of the crop.
An expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh named the fertilizer that is most effective for cucumbers in the third summer month.
The best August fertilizer for cucumbers
The specialist immediately emphasizes: during this period, the plant no longer needs nitrogen.
But phosphorus will have a positive effect on the condition of garden crops in August.
The ideal fertilizer for cucumbers in the final third of summer is superphosphate.
It is advisable to alternate the application of this product with the application of potassium and magnesium fertilizers.
Good sources of potassium for pumpkin family members are unburned wood residues and potassium sulfate. And magnesium deficiency can be replenished by using magnesium nitrate.
