In the final third of summer, the gardener should take care of protecting cucumbers from pests. First of all, from aphids and spider mites.
There is an incredibly effective folk remedy, the use of which will significantly reduce the risk of crop loss at one of the last stages of development of a garden crop.
So, what preventive measures should be carried out in August so that cucumbers become practically invulnerable to pests?
What to do with cucumber bushes in August
During this period, it is advisable to pour drops of onion peel infusion over the plant.
It is worth adding a little laundry soap, crushed with a grater, to the liquid. This ingredient is necessary so that the product is well retained on the stems and leaf blades of the garden crop.
Other August preventive measures for cucumbers
Such remedies as garlic infusion and tobacco dust infusion will probably be no less effective.
If the owner of a country house does not want to use folk remedies and is confident only in the effectiveness of special preparations, then it makes sense to use the insecticide Fitoverm, as well as the fungicide Baktofit.
