Many summer residents often encounter this phenomenon when newly emerged ovaries on cucumbers in the greenhouse begin to turn yellow and wither.
It is necessary to understand the reasons for this phenomenon as quickly as possible in order to prevent the destruction of the entire future harvest.
Let's figure out why this might happen.
Why do cucumbers turn yellow cucumber ovaries
Yellowing of ovaries is most often caused by three most common reasons, which we will indicate below.
Firstly, plants may suffer from a lack of nutrients. A lack of nitrogen is indicated by yellowing of the entire leaf, a lack of potassium - by its edge.
Secondly, the ovaries dry out due to too dense planting of plants. Remember that for every 3 cucumber bushes you should allocate at least 3 square meters of the garden bed.
Thirdly, the plant could be affected by gray mold. A characteristic sign of this disease is yellowing and twisting of the ovaries, which is why it is necessary to promptly treat the plants with preparations containing hay bacillus.
