Zucchini is a fairly unpretentious plant, which is why summer residents and gardeners love it.
However, sometimes this vegetable can also start to act up.
To avoid losing your harvest, let's figure out why zucchini ovaries may start to rot.
Why do zucchini ovaries rot?
The first and most common reason is weather conditions.
Even if it may seem to you that the zucchini does not require any additional care, the plant is still heat-loving. Therefore, if the summer is rainy and cold, the ovaries may begin to die.
The death of the ovaries is caused by a decrease in the plant's immunity or the absence of pollinating insects. Therefore, the zucchini should be covered with something to prevent the ovaries from getting wet.
The second reason is a lack of nutrients. Rotting of ovaries is most often associated with a lack of boron, so it is necessary to treat the plant with a solution of boric acid. 2 grams of powder per 10 liters of water is enough.
The third reason is that your plantings are too dense. In this case, it will be enough to get rid of some of the leaves in the center of the bush.
