Instead of juicy and tasty fruits, your zucchini bushes give you rotten ones?
The situation can still be corrected. It is enough to determine what exactly causes such negative consequences.
Agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh said that there can be many reasons for zucchini to rot right on the bushes.
According to the expert, it is extremely important to pay attention to certain aspects.
Unsuitable weather conditions
Zucchini ripens well in conditions of moderate humidity and warmth.
The safest option would be to maintain the air temperature in the greenhouse within 20-30 degrees Celsius.
Poor nutrition
It is extremely important to ensure that your zucchini does not suffer from a boron deficiency.
This element is not contained in all complex fertilizers, so you should carefully read the composition of the fertilizer before purchasing it.
Lack of light
Zucchini will not ripen well if they do not receive enough sunlight.
For this reason, the bushes should initially be planted at a distance from each other. It is recommended to maintain a distance of at least 60-80 centimeters.
