Cucumbers are a valuable plant rich in vitamins and trace elements that have a positive effect on human health.
They are often used for salads as well as for pickling and salting and are popular among housewives.
To grow tasty and sweet cucumbers, it is necessary to provide them with proper care. In July, gardeners often face the problem of yellow leaves.
There are several reasons why this can happen:
Some leaves naturally turn yellow and die, and new ones appear in their place.
The plant may suffer from a lack of nitrogen and magnesium, resulting in pale, yellow leaves.
To feed the plants, you can use a solution based on ammonium nitrate. To prepare this fertilizer, dissolve 1 tablespoon of the drug in 5 liters of water and pour it over the cucumbers.
You can also add potassium and magnesium granules to the soil in an amount of 0.5 to 1 tablespoon per square meter.
If the cucumbers grow poorly and the leaves turn yellow due to iron deficiency, you can use the drug Ferovit.
The lack of several useful microelements can be compensated with ash. An ash solution (1 cup per 5 liters of water) can be used to feed the plants.
