Care Rules

Watering

Vegetables belonging to the pumpkin family should be regularly and moderately watered. You need to do this with warm water so that the root system does not get too cold. Water consumption for irrigation depends on the stage of plant development. During fruit setting and at the beginning of fruiting, the amount of moisture consumed increases. So when watering, this fact should be taken into account.

Tap water contains chlorine impurities that adversely affect plants. Therefore, water is pre-settled. Watering is carried out 3 times a week. With the onset of rainy weather, water consumption is reduced.

Soil fertilizer

Cucumbers of this variety should be fed 4 times during the summer season:

• after sowing seeds before flowering plants;
• during flowering bushes;
• at the very beginning of the collection of the first cucumbers;
• during fruiting, to continue the process.

It is recommended to use minerals and organics for additional nutrition. The first supplement is prepared with chicken droppings. About 0.2 kg of litter is placed in a bucket and 10 liters of water are poured. The mixture is infused for about two days. The resulting concentrate in 1 cup is added to a bucket of warm water, and the plants are watered, preventing the solution from getting on the leaves and shoots.

The second and third feeding is carried out using medicinal plants and weed grass. Pour 10 liters of water per 1 kg of grass and leave for several days for fermentation.The resulting mixture is diluted in a bucket of water (1 liter of the resulting infusion per 10 liters of water). Cucumber beds are watered with this solution.

The fourth feeding is carried out using furnace ash. It is scattered under the bushes, deepened into the soil, and then watered. You can prepare a solution. Dissolve 1 glass of ash in a bucket of water. The solution is watering and spraying the leaves.

Pest and Disease Control

Mamluk variety, as described by the manufacturers, is quite resistant to diseases such as parasporosis and cladosporiosis. However, without additional preventive measures, plants can be affected by powdery mildew, fusarium or root rot. Several times during the summer it is recommended to carry out processing with special preparations that are sold in specialized stores.

To combat and prevent the invasion of harmful insects, often use folk proven means. Especially effective are infusions made from onion peel, on garlic, and on other plants with a strong repellent odor. Experienced gardeners are also advised to pay attention to the drug Haupsin. When spraying plants with this agent every 14 days, you don’t have to worry about “uninvited guests”.

Reviews gardeners

1. Margarita Olegovna 41 years: Every year I try to plant different varieties of cucumbers. This year I purchased seeds of the Mamluk hybrid. Very unpretentious variety and high productivity. The fruits are tasty and aromatic. Fresh vegetable salad with such cucumbers is simply wonderful and fragrant. Cucumbers are suitable for canning.
2. Daniil S., 65 years old: Different cucumbers are grown in the country. Sort Mamlyuk soot for the second year. I tie the scourges to the installed crossbar. I like the duration of fruiting varieties. We must not forget about fertilizers, and often carry out watering. Even if care rules are not followed, the harvest will be excellent. Several times I forgot to water the bushes. This did not affect the fruits. I decided to grow this variety every year.
