Every summer resident thinks about powdery mildew with a shudder: this disease threatens to destroy the entire cucumber harvest..
It is also worth remembering that it is difficult to fight the disease..
Therefore, it is worth preventing the development of the disease, rather than hastily trying to find adequate treatment methods.
Why do cucumbers start getting powdery mildew?
Hot during the day and cold at night
This situation is quite common in our region: it can even be hot during the day, but at night the temperature is quite cool.
This causes stress. As a result, cucumbers will be vulnerable to powdery mildew.
Watering
When applying moisture, it is extremely important to ‘aim’ at the root. If you touch the foliage, this can provoke the development of the disease due to high humidity.
Therefore, water cucumbers correctly.
Immune system
If cucumbers initially have a weak immune system, then it will be difficult for a summer resident to grow them. However, you can simply strengthen the immunity of cucumbers.
To do this, apply the necessary fertilizers in accordance with the schedule.
