Sometimes gardeners are faced with the fact that the leaves on cucumbers begin to dry out and turn yellow.
But this can be avoided if you use the right fertilizer for the plant.
Agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh spoke about this in more detail.
Why do leaves turn yellow?
Cucumber leaves can turn yellow for various reasons. Excessive moisture can be a factor.
It is also important to water the cucumbers properly and ensure that their roots do not break through to the surface.
It is also necessary to adhere to the rules of crop rotation. You should not replant cucumbers in the same place. In addition, it is better not to plant them after pumpkins or squashes.
After all, this can also have a negative impact on the condition of the plants.
What to add to water
Before watering cucumbers, you can add honey to the water. This sweet remedy will have a positive effect on the growth of the plant, increasing the number of fruits.
In addition, thanks to such fertilizing, the soil will become more nutritious, which will have a positive effect on crop yields.
To prepare the solution, add 3 teaspoons of honey to 5 liters of warm water. Then mix and water the plants.
Approximately half a liter of this product should be poured under the root of each bush. It is advisable to use a fresh solution each time.
