Nobody wants to watch zucchini rot right in the garden: this jeopardizes the harvest..
Therefore, it is worth initially familiarizing yourself with the list of reasons that can lead to this result..
Our magazine’s expert, agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, is confident that knowing these reasons will protect you from unpleasant consequences.
What are they?
Crop rotation
First of all, it is worth remembering about crop rotation: if you ignore this recommendation, you can lose a good harvest of vegetable crops.
Incorrect watering
It is worth remembering two important points. Zucchini should not be watered with cold water, and you should not add excess moisture. Both of these mistakes can cause zucchini to rot in the garden.
Nitrogen
Many gardeners mistakenly consider nitrogen to be a virtually universal fertilizer that can be applied without control and negative consequences.
But this is a misconception.
Too much nitrogen can lead to crop rot.
