The rest of the time, at intervals of 2-3 days. The soil must be pre-loosened to saturate with oxygen.

The first feeding is carried out 2 weeks after the cucumbers are planted in the ground, then repeated until the end of the growing season at the same intervals. Watering with the "Zircon" complex is useful on the sheet. Under the root, cow dung diluted in a ratio of 1: 20 can be applied.

Tall bushes need a mandatory garter. Shoots are allowed on the supports with a vine. The tapestry is pulled at a height of 150-200 cm, as the height of the whip is tied up. As soon as the central shoot reaches the upper edge of the support, it is pinched.

Necessarily to preserve abundant fruiting in this hybrid and pinching. Extra shoots are removed from cucumber bushes, leaves are cut off at the bottom of the stem. Activities can be combined with watering. Without this, ovaries will appear only from 20-30% of flowers.

In order to collect strong, tasty and beautiful cucumbers on your site, you need to make top dressing. Lack of nutrients can negatively affect the appearance of the plant and significantly reduce the yield. Fertilize cucumbers with organic fertilizers in combination with mineral fertilizers. With the right balance of these components and adherence to the fertilizing schedule, the cucumber yield will be maximum.

Required climatic conditions
