Errors in pasynkovanii cucumbers
Many gardeners still wrong conduct pasynkovanie. After the article "Pasynkovanie tomato" someone even wrote in the comments that had never learned either bald face or condensed. Yes, some details need to show and tell, if it's the first time for them.
What is pasynkovanie cucumbers, you can read in the article about tomatoes Pasynkovanie: when and how to conduct because tomatoes and cucumbers in the matter is different. But when and how best to spend at cucumbers talk separately.
Quite a common mistake truckers - is taken for suckers leaves or stalks with the future cucumber. Pinch off process instead it leaves, exposing the plant and even depriving bush produce nutrients from the sun in the leaves. So you can not do, it will only reduce yield.
Leaves only the bottom can be removed, those that touch the ground to prevent rot. But proper removal and timely conduct of on pasynkovanie procedures can increase productivity up to 20%.
You should begin after the formation of the first fruits, the lowest. All stepchildren, which is lower than the first-fruits, should be removed. It is best to carry out the removal in the morning after an evening watering and feeding, and preferably only in dry weather. Once every two weeks should be checked stepchildren below the lowest of the fruit. Above or never touch on fruit growth level.
Since mid-June, twice a month, check the appearance of new stepchildren. But they can not pinch off large quantities, can be removed at a time not more than three stepchildren.
If some are questioning whether pinch cucumbers in the open ground, I believe that this is not necessary. Let me explain why.
The fact that in the greenhouse there is a risk of infection by fungal diseases due to poor provetrivaemosti space between the bushes, so pasynkovanie - a mandatory procedure. And the food in the leaves will produce more if they do not cover each other the sun's rays.
All of these problems on the open ground, it seems to me, are insignificant. Well, at least I'm not out of the greenhouse tomatoes, cucumbers or not the stepson and the harvest I have always pleases. Just do not forget to feed properly.
