By their nature, cucumbers are subtropical crops. They love the warm and humid climate.
Conditions for abundant fruiting of cucumber
Heat, cool and drought can affect the appearance of the ovaries. So I'm trying to create for the cultivation of vegetables favorite optimal conditions.
Reducing the temperature drop
Ovary may dry out or not appear at all when the difference of day and night temperatures. When the plants are still small, I'm on the night extra insulated greenhouse. Scorching rays of the sun, these sissy too poorly tolerated. In this case, next to the bushes, I put a container with water. Moisture on evaporation compensates dry air. Plants feel comfortable. The most optimum temperature for development and fruiting of cucumbers 24 - 26 degrees.
manured soil
Adding rotted manure before planting enriches the soil with nutrients needed for growth and development of these vegetables.
Since autumn I scatter under the bed of the future is a fertilizer and in spring add peat or humus. In such a soil rich in organic matter, cucumbers simply do not have the right to give a poor harvest.
moderate watering
Cucumbers large vodohleby. In the summer bed of cucumbers I water every day, especially in the absence of precipitation. Dry soil, this culture simply can not tolerate. Bushes become frail, and ovaries may dry out.
Watering in the evening after sunset only warm water, which is a day of basking in the sun. But I do not assume and overflow. If the day was not very hot and the soil does not have time to dry and remain wet, then watering is missing. During rain open the greenhouse to bed wet evenly.
In close quarters and mad
Planting cucumber at a distance of 40-50 cm from each other. Otherwise, the plants may suffer from thickened landings.
They lack neither light nor air. When the bushes are strong, I remove the large leaves, and pinch out the tops stems. When it becomes more spacious, they quickly begin to bloom and form the ovary. When dense plantings appears empty shell, and formed the ovary will turn yellow and fall off.
help pollinated
Planting sunflowers near the cucumber, I bring a double benefit to plants. Powerful sunflower stalks protect cucumbers from drafts, creating a wind barrier. And most importantly, that these giants and marigolds flock bees that help many varieties of cucumbers carried out pollination. Without this process, the ovaries can not be developed. By following these rules, from the ovaries grow crisp and pleasant taste pickles.
