Rules for processing cucumbers with potassium permanganate
Every vegetable gardener is looking for ideas and tools to improve the quality and quantity of his harvest. From year to year, new varieties are released - more stable and productive hybrids, new fertilizers and substances for processing plants come out. But every summer resident strives to ensure that their products are tasty and environmentally friendly. Look for organic fertilizer and processing methods that are harmless. Processing cucumbers with potassium permanganate, ash or soap infusion, and others do not lose their popularity.
Rules for processing cucumbers with potassium permanganate
Features of manganese
Potassium permanganate is a potassium salt, manganese acid, which is a good fertilizer for all plants, including cucumbers. It contains Potassium and Magnesium.
Ammonia begins to accumulate in cells, and if potassium deficiency occurs, the plant begins to grow slowly. Light stripes along the edges of the leaves indicate potassium starvation.
A large amount of potassium is also not very good. The leaves become small, acquire a dark green color. Blocks and impedes the intake of other trace elements.
Benefit
Useful properties of potassium permanganate for plants:
- biological processes of metabolism are accelerated;
- improves the quality of fruiting;
- accelerates the development of cucumbers;
- improves the quality of flowers.
Manganese belongs to the group of active trace elements. If there is a lack or absence of a substance, the plant is going through a crisis - the ovaries and fruits stop developing. Cucumber is easily damaged by diseases, various insect pests.
Sod-carbonate, peat bogs, chernozems, sandy loam and sandy soils are often poor in manganese. A large amount of mobile manganese is contained in the soils of the Moscow Region and the Non-Chernozem Region, as well as in soddy-podzolic soils, so additional application is not required. If the acidic soil is lime, then you need to treat it with potassium permanganate.
Feeding rules
Vegetable growers with experience, have experienced the benefits of potassium permanganate in their gardens, and have recognized that it is excellent as a fertilizer. Root feeding will give the plant everything it needs to grow. It is necessary to water the soil not only for feeding with Potassium and Magnesium, but also for disinfection - this will rid the fruit of the black skin. It can be used both outdoors and in greenhouses and greenhouses.
Potassium permanganate can be leached from the soil. On average, plants are taken out from one hectare 100-700 grams.
How to cook
Potassium permanganate must be used in small doses, a small amount of potassium permanganate is diluted with water. It is recommended to make a combined fertilizer, mix organic and mineral fertilizers. In such cases, a few drops of potassium permanganate are added to the diluted mullein or chicken droppings.
How to fertilize
Fertilizer is watered around the bush
First of all, fertilizer is used for soils with pH = 7 or pH <7, there is little mobile manganese in them. The element is often already contained in manure, slag, wood ash.
With a ready-made fertilizer, you need to water the ground near your bush in remorse 6 centimeters. After a while, the earth will absorb all the substance, it is necessary to loosen the soil. You need to water every 15-20 days. One square meter will need five to six liters. Water it four to five times a season.
Treatment against pests and diseases
If you spray your plant with a solution of potassium permanganate, this will not only make it resistant to weather conditions, but also protect it from insect pests and diseases that affect all vegetable crops.
Used as a preventive measure to avoid diseases caused by fungi, such as powdery mildew. It can be sprayed to prevent late blight. It is also popular to soak the seeds in such a solution - this will protect the cucumber seeds from pests and provide the emu with the necessary nutrients.
How to cook
Cooking recipe: for a bucket of water or 10-12 liters, give 3 grams of manganese, then stir.
How to apply
For soaking the seeds, use a 0.5% solution of potassium permanganate. The seeds must be immersed in the substance for 20 minutes. To prevent the disease, phytophthora should be sprayed sparingly. It is also possible to cure powdery mildew at the first sign by spraying several times at intervals of 3 days. To combat aphids, it is necessary to add forty percent potassium salt and mullein. It is necessary to wet or spray the leaves, but not more than 100 milligrams per plant.
Conclusion
Cucumbers need potassium permanganate, it provides nutrients that are so necessary for growth and development. Remember, watering is necessary not under the root itself, but at a distance of 5-6 centimeters - this will not harm the plant and disinfect the soil. In order for the cucumber not to be attacked by various diseases, it is necessary to spray the leaves.
It is recommended to apply complex fertilizers and spray, this will prevent infection with diseases.
