Quite often I am asked a question about Why will rot the ovary zucchini. Yes, it really is rather frequent problem that may face each gardener. Therefore, in this article I will discuss the main factors causing rotting squash, as well as give some tips to help protect the plants from such troubles.
So, as corny as it may sound, but dozhdlivaya weather - the first enemy of the good harvest of zucchini. Excessive humidity is just the same in this case - an ideal environment for the rotting fruit, I personally encountered such a situation. The only solution to this problem - zucchini plant on a small hillTo water coming in the form of precipitation, it does not stagnate and not to turn our bed into the swamp.
Next possible reason - lack of air circulation within the plantThat it may be caused by too much overgrown its leaves. Help the plant and cut off some of the lower leaves - so the fruits will be open air and bed is well ventilated.
And, of course, the lack of any useful minerals It can also cause rotting squash. So I learned by bitter experience, is now regularly fertilize your squash planting three essential trace elements, namely'm doing boron, calcium and iodine, thereby plants grow healthy and strong.
Just want to say that each dressing must contain only a single trace element, though a break between them should be not less than 10 days. I fertilize squash follows: Starting from calcium nitrate, 1 hr. l. are added to 5 liters of water. The resulting solution is to water the plants by the roots.
After 10 days of placing boric fertilizer - razvozhu 1 g boron in 5 liters of water, and yes to boron dissolved, the water should be hot. The final step - feeding iodine, where 5 liters of water add 8 drops of iodine. Such fertilizers not only increase fruiting plants, but are also good prevention of diseases.
Just like that, with minimal effort, can protect plants from adverse factors causing rotting of ovaries, and keep your marrow harvest.
