Growing Features

The top layer of the earth should have warmed up by the time of planting. Cucumbers are heat-loving crops. The optimum soil temperature is +16 degrees. Seeds are deepened into prepared wells by 2 cm.

If the cucumbers will be tied to the vertical crossbars in the future, then they must be installed in parallel with the planting of seeds. If you want to get the crop earlier, then you should plant the seedlings first. To do this, use peat cups, or any other convenient container. Seedlings are grown in heat, daily watered with water at room temperature.

Grade Care

Variety Khabar will delight with a plentiful harvest and high-quality fruits, if you follow the simplest rules for care. Water the plants regularly. Water should be warm and settled. It is better to choose a drip method. So the water will saturate the roots of the bushes with moisture, but will not get on the leaves. On sunny days, the irrigation procedure is carried out every day in the evening or in the morning before sunrise. If the weather is rainy, then the number of irrigations is reduced. Do not overmoisten the soil, root rot may develop. During flowering and the beginning of fruit ripening, water consumption for irrigation needs to be increased.

The ground around the bushes should be mulled. This will help retain moisture, and will also become an obstacle to the development of weed grass. If you decide not to mulch the soil, then regularly after watering it is recommended to loosen the soil.This must be done carefully so as not to damage the roots. Loosening helps to get rid of the larvae of harmful garden insects that settle on the root system.

Top dressing occupies an important place in the general rules for the care of cucumbers. Over the summer, plants need to be fed at least 5 times. During active growth, nitrogen must be part of the nutritional supplement. To set fruit and with the beginning of fruiting, top dressing must contain phosphorus. Minerals with organic must be alternated.

In order to avoid the troubles associated with the invasion of garden insects, which can cause irreparable harm to the crop, it is necessary to adhere to some recommendations:

1. The seed must be processed before planting. Seeds purchased in specialized stores from many companies have already passed the necessary stages of preparation, including disinfection.
2. Cucumbers should be planted only in prepared fertile soil.
