Due to a lack of nutrients, the presence of pests or lack of water, the leaves can change their color to yellow. Even experienced gardeners can find it difficult to determine the exact cause of this phenomenon. In this article, I will tell you about several effective methods that will help you fix this problem.
One of the prevention methods is to use the following solution. At 10 liters. It is necessary to dilute 30 drops of iodine with water and add 1 liter of milk. You should also grate 20 grams of household soap in the same bucket. This solution should be sprayed on the plants, from the moment the first 5-6 leaves appear. Spray once every 10 days.
To preserve the green tips of cucumbers until fall, you can use the following solution. Soak half a loaf of bread in 5 liters of water for 12 hours and then add half a small bottle of iodine. Before use, dilute the solution with 1:10 water and water the cucumbers with this solution 2 times a week.
In addition, the serum has a positive effect on the formation of new ovaries. To do this, add 2 liters of whey to a bucket of water (10 l) and sugar – 100 grams. Water the cucumbers with this solution at the end of the fruiting period.
Onion peels also solve the problem of yellowing of the leaves well. To prepare the solution, add the onion peels from a one-liter jar to a bucket of water (10 liters) and bring to a boil. Leave the solution to infuse for 12 hours and then strain. Before use, dilute the solution with water in a 1:4 ratio. Spray cucumber leaves with this solution periodically and water the plants from the root.
