Cucumbers, like a garden culture, unpretentious in care and cultivation. But without applying, the feeding is very difficult to collect a good crop of cucumbers. It is starting to fertilize this garden culture from the very time when the seeds are just starting to break through from under the ground and continue to fertilize the plant to the last fetus.
To saturate cucumbers with useful trace elements and organic compositions, it is necessary to choose the proper fertilizer. With the help of making a balanced feeder at different stages of ripening cucumbers, you can collect a rich harvest of very tasty and large fruits. To achieve this, you need to be able to choose fertilizers and know what time and how to fertilize cucumbers.
What is the fertilizer
Some garden crops do not need feeding, it is important for them to choose a good place, plant plants at a certain distance and water in time. And it is advisable for cucumbers to make feeding to collect a good harvest.
You can grow cucumbers in the open soil and in the greenhouse. You can still sow the seeds of cucumbers in the greenhouse. It is desirable to grow this garden culture on a grind so that the plant has the opportunity to take up. In this case, the space is saved, which is very important for the gardener.
The cucumbers love warmth and moisture, the best of all they will feel in wet greenhouses, so it is not recommended next to the cucumbers to plant tomatoes.
As you know, the role of fertilizers is to improve the growth of plants and as a result of getting a good harvest. How to understand that cucumbers need feeding, they will tell you themselves. Trace behind the plant, in a different period of growing cucumbers need different fertilizers. For example, if the leaves began to be brightened and the color on the pale color was "changed" from a saturated green shade, then this means that the cucumbers need nitrogen. Normally from cucumbers with a round form. If they wrap down, then the plant lacks calcium, and the light bezel around the leaf means that it is necessary to feed the cucumbers of potassium.
The bright bodies on the leaves indicate that it is time to fertilize the soil by magnesium. Not only the leaves, but also the fruit themselves will indicate what you need to make feeding. For example, if the cucumbers grow in the form of a hook or resemble the shape of a light bulb, then the plant is not enough power. When the "Nose" of the fetus acute - cucumbers lack nitrogen fertilizers, and the fruits of the pear-shaped form indicate a shortage of potassium. The fruits may also lack moisture. If it is very hot in the afternoon, and at night cool - such racing temperatures can affect the plant. So that this does not happen, it is necessary to monitor this garden culture in a timely manner and make appropriate additives.
If you notice in time that the color of the leaves or their form began to change, and the fruits acquire the wrong shape, there is still time to change everything to collect a rich crop of cucumbers.
Natural fertilizers for cucumbers
Our grandmothers and grandparents grown most vegetables in the garden and used only natural fertilizers for this. If possible, you can feed the cucumbers with a regular cow (cow manure). Such fertilizer is considered the most efficient and safe.
Some daches love to experiment, and this type of fertilizer has also been considered the most efficient. If mixed in equal proportions of cow and chicken litter, then the yield in the plant will rise several times.
It is very important to know that any chemical fertilizer cucumbers do not tolerate, so pay attention when choosing fertilizers for cucumbers only on organic components. What are their advantages? It is important for people to eat ecological products in food, just if you make organic fertilizers, it will not harm for the body, and if chemical, then it is already dangerous to human health.
An interesting method of fertilizer of cucumbers is the use of ordinary green grass. It is necessary to cut fresh grass, pour it with water and leave for a few days. After 2-3 days, natural fertilizer for cucumbers is ready, it will stay well to squeeze grass, merge water (it will acquire a green shade) and it will be possible to fertilize the soil, and the grass itself can be decomposed between the rows.
It is very interesting and also such a home method of fertilizer under the cucumbers, such a method is better to take note of fishermen: with the grinding of fish waste (scales, tail, head and gutters), the cashem is placed in the well before planting cucumber seeds. What is the advantage of such a strange fertilizer? When fish guts decompose in the ground, a large amount of carbon dioxide is distinguished, and this in turn is a good fertilizer for plants. This method will like not to every gardener, since it is necessary to spend a lot of time to prepare a large portion of fertilizer, especially when this fertilizer is making an unpleasant fish smell. There are other, more interesting and simple options. For example, the use of ordinary bread. It is necessary to twist the bread (ripper and meakish) in water, and then decompose the natural fertilizer in the garden. In this way, you can create favorable conditions for the growth of all garden crops.
What to use fertilizers for cucumbers, each owner should solve himself. The main thing is to remember that it is not necessary to spend a lot of funds for the purchase of expensive fertilizers.
Fertilizers for cucumbers in the greenhouse
Every gardener seeks to collect a good harvest of high-quality fruits, so many try to create all the conditions so that the cucumbers feel well.
These recommendations will help you choose, grow and collect a large crop of cucumbers:
- try not to make fertilizers with big portions, the cucumbers love to do with everything, so do not overdo it;
- we introduce the first portion of fertilizer even before the cucumbers begin to bloom. For these purposes, you can buy a popular nitrogen fertilizer "Azogran", or acquire "Vermistim". In addition to these fertilizers, if you have the opportunity, adopt the plants with liquid chicken litter;
- when the fertility period begins, it is also necessary to make a feeder, but not too much;
- two weeks after the first application of fertilizers, it is possible to re-feed the plants, but only by overgrown with grass or wood ash;
- if you see that the plants feel well, they are enough light and moisture, then you should not make a lot of fertilizers, for the entire period of growth and fruiting it will be enough 2nd times the fertilizer.
How to grow strong seedlings
As mentioned earlier, the cucumbers are best grown in a greenhouse or in greenhouses, they will feel good and actively fruit. Since this garden culture is desirable to grow from seedlings, then the feeding must be made in a timely manner. When the seeds are planted into the soil in the drawers with the soil or in separate cups, then it is necessary to immediately make fertilizer. Oblostnikov on this expense disagree on this point, some believe that it is not necessary to do this, others argue the opposite. You can only explore the opinions of specialists and choose the appropriate option.
With mass cultivation of cucumbers, the second feeder (first when landing) is carried out when the first leaf appears on the spicker. But this is not the most important thing. It is important that the plants receive the required amount of fertilizers at different growths. For example, when the flowering has not yet begun, nitrogen, phosphoric and cucumbers with a high content of calcium will become the best fertilizers for cucumbers. When the fruiting began, the composition of the beneficial substances will be different. It is necessary to make more magnesium, nitrogen fertilizer and potassium, and trace elements are needed with cucumbers. Good solution: a combination of organic fertilizers with superphosphates. For example, you can feed the cucumbers with a cow's litter together with ammonia Selitra.
You can make fertilizer for the third time in 2 weeks, a double feeding of mineral fertilizers will be useful.
Fertilizers for growing cucumbers in a greenhouse
If you gathered to grow this garden culture in greenhouses, then it is necessary to know at each stage how you can increase yields so that you can boast beautiful and strong fruits in early May!
The most important thing is the introduction of organic fertilizers, but only small portions so as not to destroy the plant. Since the roots of the cucumbers are not distinguished by the fortress (the depth of penetration is up to 20 cm), then the soil can have a great effect on the plant. For example, it is good to help the soil to help manure, straw, peat or sawdust. All listed components must be enriched with cow dung. In addition, the growth of cucumbers in the greenhouse of mineral fertilizers will accelerate.
Only 4 or a maximum of 5 feeding, the scheme is as follows: first the first feeding is made when the cucumbers begin to bloom, the remaining 3 or 4 - during the growth of fruits every 2 weeks. Chicken litter and cow manure just help the plant become stronger. Instead of organic fertilizers, you can purchase nitrogen fertilizers in a specialized store (suitable for sandy soil), for the floodplain soil it is better to purchase fantasics with a high content of potassium. And if the long-awaited warming has come after the cold, it's time to put in a soil Selitra. It is very important to do it right, the fertilizer is introduced into the aisle, and then the soil is abundantly moistened.
Selection of fertilizers during the period of fruiting
The urea is considered an effective feeding for cucumbers. You need to make this fertilizer in the soil very carefully, since a strong acid reagent can destroy the fruits and leaves of the plant. It is important to prepare a solution correctly, 10 liters of clean water (you can take the well and then to defend it) it is necessary to take the urea (50 g). Fertilizer is entered into the soil in the evening or before the rain. If there is no rain, then it is necessary to hide the plants abundantly. It is possible to combine urea with any mineral feeding.
Strengthening the growth of cucumbers will help organic matter. With this task, the cow can cope with the litter, it is bred with water. On 1 part of the litter you need to take 5 parts of the liquid. The solution is prepared in advance and defend 2 weeks.
Cut the cucumbers during the fertile period can be conventional yeast. Such a dachini method is rarely used, although the feeding gives a positive result.
How to prepare fertilizer for cucumbers:
- Take 100 yeast.
- Prepare water bucket.
- Divide the yeast in the water and leave for a day.
- Before irrigating the mixture, you need to mix well and water under the root.
How to enrich the soil
We all love cucumbers in any form, fresh, low-voltage or salted. Without them, it is difficult to imagine any feast, because the cucumbers are part of different salads. How to grow a good crop of cucumbers - will help these recommendations. And you need to start with the fertilizer of the soil.
Cucumber loves warmth, so the seeds begin to germinate at a temperature of +15 oC, optimal air temperature for this garden crop - +30 oC, and for the soil just below - +25 oWITH.
You can increase the yield of soil in different ways, and if the plant does not like an ammonia salter very much (it is necessary to observe the dosage), then the fertilizer of cow manure just gives a good result. Prepare the soil is preferably in advance, from autumn. Try to help her cow dung. On 10m 2 Soil must be made 100 kg of manure. If you do not have any such quantity and bring fertilizer is impossible, then you can buy ready-made feeding. Buy Superphosphate (400 g) and potassium salt (250 g). Both components are mixed and entered into the ground.
Before boarding (turns of cucumbers immediately after planting potatoes), the soil must also be filled, we introduce no more than 200 g of ammonium nitrate into the ground. In addition, when landing in each well put a small amount of humidiation or ash (150 g).
The cucumbers love the air wet. You can provide such conditions for plants in the heat in only one way - artificial spraying. But you do not need to try to moisturize and spray cucumbers in order not to start the mold. Improve the crop will help attract insects that will contribute to the best pollination of cucumbers. For this, the plants spray with a mixture of water, boric acid and sugar (2l / 2g / 100g).
As you can see, choose a suitable fertilizer for cucumbers - it is not so difficult, the main thing is to take into account the proportions and stick to the deadline of feeding. Then you can count on a good crop of cucumbers.
