Tasty, crispy, fragrant cucumbers favourites on table and to grow up them it is difficult. It is rather whimsical culture, but for himself it is worth trying. There are various methods allowing to increase productivity of cucumbers.
The reasons of low productivity of cucumbers much, for example, they very sensitively react to changes of weather conditions. Too hot summer or, on the contrary, cold – and productivity will fall. The soil, poor on structure, and incorrectly organized watering will affect quantity too.
Strong root system
Strong seedling is capable to yield good harvest. It is good to grow up cucumber seedling in peat pots. They are dug in together with plant to the earth, so, traditional replacing at which the gentle root system of cucumbers is damaged is not carried out. It is important to plant cucumbers in separate pots and not to fill to top with the earth. It is necessary to resupply the earth in process of growth of plant. Thus the strong root system – pledge of good harvest will be created.
If root system rather weak or unhealthy (it can be seen on the fading upper parts of plants), then it is possible to try to create additional roots. For this purpose it is necessary to press part of stalk to the earth and to powder with the damp soil. Shortly there will be new strong and strong roots.
Cucumbers and watering
These plants very much love water, but it is only necessary to water warm to avoid disease. After watering it is necessary to prorykhlit the soil, for penetration of air to roots. But to do it it is gentle, careful because roots at cucumbers thin, and are located close to surface. The earth on all bed has to be damp, but directly about stalk the surface of the soil has to be dry, it will allow to avoid decay and various fungal diseases.
It is very good to water cucumbers with milk. In milk there is a lot of potassium, namely he is responsible for forming of fruits. Also milk helps to form good microflora which will allow plants to acquire useful substances well with soil layer.
Correct harvesting
On lashes the fruits should not be overdone. Many summer residents wait when fruits gain more weight. But it only reduces productivity, slows down emergence of new ovaries. For increase in productivity it is necessary to collect fruits more often. It is better to do it in the morning when cucumbers to contain more water, then they will long not wither and I will remain fresh. When breaking fruit it is not necessary to pull it, it can damage all lash. It is the best of all to press branch at the basis, and it will quickly break.
