How to stimulate the formation of ovary in cucumbers in the open field

The quick appearance of cucumber fruits in greenhouses is due to the fact that optimal conditions for plant growth and crop formation are preserved in it. What can not be said about open ground crops. The ovary begins to form in the last days of June - early July, when sowing seeds in late April - early May.

Sowing in the ground

There is a good way to stimulate the formation of ovaries in outdoor cucumbers.

Sowing cucumbers should be in a well-prepared, well-spilled bed. Then the crops are covered with a film. The crop should be checked periodically and spilled with warm water.

IT'S IMPORTANT TO KNOW!

Many gardeners make the mistake of removing the film immediately after the formation of 1-2 true leaves from seedlings. This slows down the growth of the bushes, and, accordingly, the appearance of flowers and ovary.

Stimulating ovary formation

It is necessary to remove the film from the garden when each bush begins to bloom. At this time, a liquid top dressing is supplied.

To prepare the solution, you must:

150 grams of nitrogen fertilizer,

100 grams of phosphate fertilizers,

· 10 liters of water.

After 10 days, the next feeding is carried out with a solution of peat oxidate.

In 1 liter of water, 2 tablespoons of the oxidate are diluted. The solution is poured into a spray bottle and sprayed over the leaves and buds.

INTERESTING TO KNOW!

Cucumbers will begin to form already 5-6 weeks after sowing.

After 1-2 days, an ovary will begin to form. In the beginning it will be from 5-10 pieces, and then in bulk. Harvesting will be possible daily.
