“There are times when the vegetable breeders chose a productive variety, landing correctly, but the cucumbers instead of the Zelents give empty-caves. What is the reason and how to rectify the situation?” The material says.-the formation of empty flowers can occur due to many reasons, and the summer residents themselves are to blame. “
Cucumbers respond to high temperatures, and if the flowering period falls into an abnormal heat, then, most likely, empty flowers will appear on plants. To avoid this, cucumbers are best sowed earlier or after hot days. To protect the crop from the heat, you can sow corn or sunflower next to cucumbers.
“The reason for the emergence of hollow-flowers on cucumbers can also be water temperature during watering. If you water the plants with cold water, then because of stress they can bloom in empty colors,-the authors of the article warned.-do not like cucumbers and dark places, do not plant plants under the crowns of trees or in the shadow of buildings.”
The fruits will not be tied out if there is too much nitrogen to the soil during top dressing.
“Experienced summer residents advise to enrich the soil with phosphorus-potassium fertilizers before planting. These substances help the root system to strengthen and stimulate the formation of cucumbers,” the article recalled.
It is important to harvest in time to form new ovaries. Optimal – every three days.
