Towards the end of August, all summer residents should think about how to extend the fruiting of zucchini.
After all, harvesting before the cold weather sets in is a realistically achievable goal.
What needs to be done for this?
Diseases
It is important to understand that by the end of summer, the immunity of plants decreases, and unfavorable weather conditions set in. Therefore, zucchini may begin to get sick.
It is important to carry out all necessary treatments periodically.
Leaves and vines
It is necessary to inspect the bed on a regular basis. If poor quality foliage or vines are found, they should be removed. In this case, the plant will not waste energy trying to cure and restore them.
Thinning
It is also worth understanding that you will not be able to leave all the zucchini in the garden. If you want the harvest to be long and abundant, it is important to periodically thin out the plants.
Top dressing
It is important to remember that zucchini resources are limited. Therefore, they should be fed with various suitable compounds so that a deficiency of nutrients does not occur.
