In order to get a rich harvest of cucumbers, it is not enough to simply weed and water the plants.
Moreover, the secret does not lie in the introduction of various fertilizers.
Let's find out which one simple operation with cucumbers will allow you to get an unprecedented harvest of vegetables.
Pinching out cucumbers
Simple methods for increasing the yield of cucumbers include pinching out the side shoots of plants.
To do this, it is necessary to cut off the shoots that grow from the axils of the plants. Moreover, it is recommended to carry out this operation without waiting for the stepsons to stretch out too much.
Even if an extra shoot has just appeared, you can get rid of it.
This measure does not allow them to get stronger and, in turn, allows you to get whole bunches of cucumbers on the branches.
It is noted that this method works most effectively when only one type of cucumber grows in the greenhouse: either bee-pollinated or self-pollinated varieties or hybrids of cucumbers. This will allow you to choose the care of the plants in accordance with their type.
