Experienced summer residents called the main reasons for decaying zucchini. It turned out that sometimes the gardeners themselves spoil their landings with improper care. Therefore, if you continue to make these common mistakes, then a generous crop of this culture can not even be expected.
The first reason, experienced gardeners called the wrong landing place. According to them, where pumpkin, melons and watermelons used to grow before, zucchini will not be fruit. Moreover, “related” with zucchini culture cannot be planted in such soil for four years, summer residents with experience clarify. It is better for this vegetable to choose a territory where potatoes, beets, carrots and onions used to grow before.
The second important mistake of experienced gardeners call high humidity. It is in raw and cold weather that plant immunity is reduced, gardeners note. Covering them with a film will help protect the zucchini from dampness. In order for the plant to suffer the heat normally, the zucchini is advised to spray with warm water and a solution of boric acid-2-3 grams per 10 liters of water.
The third reason for the absence of crop, gardeners with experience indicated a high landing density. According to them, due to the too close location, the zucchini is not ventilated enough and experience a lack of sunlight, which leads to rotting of the plant. But fixing such a mistake is quite simple – just remove all the old leaves.
Another, fourth mistake, experienced summer residents called the lack of fertilizer. For the growth of zucchini, such macro elements as iodine and Bor are important, they noticed. It is enough to treat plants with boric acid with a solution of iodine potassium solution once per season. The recipe for the preparation of both solutions is the same: calculating 2 grams of the element per 10 liters of water. Summer residents with experience advise mixing these ingredients in one solution. To feed the zucchini is worth it twice a season. For the first time, fertilizer is applied 10 days after the seedlings, the second time in a week.
And the last, fifth reason for the appearance of rot in the ovaries of zucchini, gardeners with experience called illness – a virus of cucumber mosaics and powdery mildew. To do this, it will require drugs from these ailments, experienced gardeners noticed. After you need to treat vegetables with drugs against the Colorado beetle. Then there will be no end to large fruits, writes the author of the Channel “The Perfect Garden” on the Yandex.Zen platform.
