Cucumbers love warmth and humidity, so it is necessary to monitor the temperature and air exchange in the greenhouse.
The first rule is that you need to regularly ventilate the greenhouse.
This allows air to circulate, prevents excess moisture and helps avoid the development of fungi and diseases, says Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
Cucumbers do not tolerate drafts, so it is better to ventilate in the morning or evening, when there is no strong air flow.
Use special open windows and hatches to ventilate the greenhouse. They should be located at the top and bottom of the walls or roof of the greenhouse to ensure proper air exchange.
Open them for a while, monitoring the temperature and humidity inside the greenhouse. It is also worth remembering to protect plants from temperature fluctuations.
If cucumbers are grown in the cold season, do not open all the windows at once and do not allow strong penetration of cold air.
It is better to ventilate the greenhouse in stages, gradually increasing the ventilation time and decreasing the air temperature.
Remember that air humidity plays an important role in growing.
If the humidity is too high, the plants may become infected with powdery mildew, and if it is too dry, they may dry out. Therefore, check the humidity level regularly and ensure the correct humidity and temperature ratio in the greenhouse.
So, proper ventilation of a greenhouse where cucumbers are grown plays an important role in ensuring the health of plants and a successful harvest.
Follow simple ventilation rules, take into account temperature and humidity, and your cucumber harvest will be healthy and abundant.
