Diseases and pests
Vyatich (F1) rarely gets sick, but some ailments can still strike him.
Pests
- Whitefly is a small white midge. She drinks the sap of plants and leaves behind sooty mushrooms and sluggish leaves. A solution of garlic and water helps against this pest (knead 5-6 cloves, dissolve in 5-6 liters of warm water), which is sprayed on cucumbers, but it is better, of course, to use some branded sprayers.
- Aphids are small green bugs. She loves to settle in colonies on leaves and eat them.This pest multiplies very quickly. The consequences of his sabotage are wilting of leaves. A solution of wood ash, soap and water (2 handfuls of ash, half a bar of soap per 10 liters of warm water) helps against aphids. Sharing ladybugs can also help.
- Spider mites are small mites that leave behind a cobweb under the leaves, where they sit. This pest eats. These mites are killed by spraying with soapy water (half a bar of laundry soap per 10 liters of warm water).
Diseases
- Powdery mildew. White spots appear on the leaves, over time they pass to the rest of the plant. Due to powdery mildew, the leaves dry out, fruiting stops. The infected parts are cut off, all plants are sprayed with fungicides, but if the disease has gone too far, the plantings will have to be destroyed.
- Cladosporium. Brown ulcers appear on bushes and fruits. The fruits themselves look like rotten. To combat, it is recommended to stop watering the plant for 5 days and treat it with foundation. The affected parts are removed.
- White rot. A viscous white consistency, which makes the fruit and the bush itself rot. It is required to remove the affected parts of the plant and treat it with a solution of urea, water, sulfuric acid zinc and copper sulfate (10 g of urea, 5 g of zinc and 5 g of sulfate are diluted in 10 liters of warm liquid).
- Downy mildew. Small yellow spots on the leaves. The disease causes drying of the leaves, and then the whole plant. Stopping watering and feeding plants for 3-4 days, as well as subsequent treatments with polycarbacin will help in the fight against this disease (100 g of polycarbacin are mixed with 10 liters of warm (about 25 ° C) water).
It is impossible to allow the spread of the disease to all plants, therefore it is important to determine the first stage in time and start fighting it, otherwise you can forget about healthy, tasty cucumbers.
