Many summer residents are faced with such an unpleasant phenomenon as rotting zucchini.
Of course, such a process begins to cause anxiety and misunderstanding.
An expert of the site "TUT NOVOSTI", scientist agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh will tell you why zucchini begin to rot and spoil.
Incorrect watering
If you use too much moisture, it can lead to problems with the roots. It is better to water the zucchini early in the morning or in the evening. This should be done so that the moisture does not get on the leaves and the zucchini themselves.
Acidic soil
Soil that is too acidic can also cause the problem. The optimum acidity level is 6.0-6.5 pH.
In addition, it is important to ensure that there is compost available to enrich the soil.
Incorrect landing
Zucchini do not like cramped spaces, so it is important to plant them at a sufficient distance - at least 60 cm between plants.
When rotten zucchini is detected, it is important to remove all rotten parts and treat the plantings with special agents.
