How to use yeast when growing cucumbers
1
Cucumbers were planted in the garden, but they are not growing. There is a simple way to make the plant actively increase green mass, fully develop and prepare for fruiting. After watering, the leaves will become larger, acquire a rich green color, and active weaving will begin. There are many reasons for growth inhibition, but the most common is adverse weather conditions.
Details
At the beginning of summer, nights are often cold, and cucumbers need a night temperature above 15 degrees to develop. Also, suppression occurs due to a lack of top dressing.
Common baker's yeast will help cucumbers to endure the stress of the cold and provide them with nutrients.
Yeast is the entire periodic table in one package, which is very much appreciated by melon crops, which are in dire need of not only nitrogen, but also other nutrients.
How to prepare yeast top dressing
To prepare the mother liquor, combine 1 liter of warm water, 1 tablespoon of dry yeast, 1 tablespoon of sugar, stir thoroughly until the sugar dissolves and leave for two hours in a warm place, but not in the sun.
After 2 hours, pour the mother liquor into 5 liters of warm water.
If pressed yeast is used, then 100 g of yeast and 2 tablespoons of sugar are taken per liter of water. After two hours, pour the diluted yeast into 10 liters of water.
In both cases, a concentrate is obtained. To obtain a working solution, the concentrate must be diluted.
To do this, dilute 1 liter of concentrate in 10 liters of water. 1 liter of the resulting solution is placed under each plant.
To increase the effectiveness of the yeast fertilizer, organic matter (manure, humus, half-rotten grass) should also be placed under the cucumbers.
Living organisms that in yeast, will begin to actively process organic remains, releasing the nutrients that cucumbers need for development.
You can also introduce ash (1-2 tbsp. per plant), mix it with moist soil, and sprinkle it with yeast fertilizer on top.
Before fertilizing, cucumbers must be watered with warm water. This is done before any feeding. Firstly, so that the fertilizer does not burn the roots.
Secondly, for better assimilation of nutrients. A plant can absorb only aqueous solutions, therefore, in dry soil, even well-fertilized, it will experience starvation, as it will not be able to extract the substances contained there.
