When growing a cucumber crop in a greenhouse either in the conditions of an open soil, some daches are surprised, why the cucumbers have an incorrect form: then vegetables are cocked, they grow in the form of an uneven pear, then they are obtained by puzzled and hooks. It turns out that in order to get smaller fruit, it is not enough to plant seedlings into a greenhouse. It is necessary to eliminate the reasons for the formation of cucumbers of the incorrect form, including ensuring proper care, full nutrition, the required agrotechnical and harvest in a timely manner.

Incorrect nutrition

Incorrectly selected mineral nutrition, when vegetables are not enough useful components, can also act as the cucumbers grow with curves, irregular shape.

Lack of potassium

The lack of a trace element responsible for the formation of cucumber fruits is one of the most common causes of changes and curvature of the shape of cucumbers. The nonility of potassium at the flowering stage and in front of the direct fruiting leads to potash starvation of plants, as a result of which the narrow "ass" begins to form a narrow "ass" and the lower part of the fetus is quite wide in comparison with it. The deformation of the shape of the cucumbers in the form of pear, when potassium lacks, is also accompanied by the appearance of a yellow gamble at the edges of sheet plates.

To replenish the lack of potassium, you can use ready-made fertilizers that are in its composition the desired component. The sulfurful potassium is diluted at the rate of 3-4 large spoons on 10 liters of water and water the cucumber bushes with a consumption rate of 0.5 l for each seedling.

Fix the situation so that vegetables change their appearance in time and become classically straightforward, it is possible to use additional extracane feeding, which is carried out by preparations containing potassium with a concentration of 2 times less than when watering.

Nitrogen shortage

When foliage on a cucumber bush changes the color and starts pale, and the fruits are curved either formed with a wide base and a narrow end, these are signs that vegetable culture lacks nitrogen.

Pour soil soil nitrogen-containing components allows chicken litter or herbal infusions.

Chicken litter is used in the form of a compost prepared with peat, sawdust and straw in 1.5-2 months or in a liquid form when it is diluted with water 50/50 and stands for 2-3 days. Concentrated solutions are diluted with water in the proportion of 1:10 and there is already a breakdown with a working fluid.

Among the suitable herbs for the preparation of solutions, nettle, foliage and stems are grinding, poured with water and release 7-14 days, diluted with water in a ratio of 1:10 for watering either 1:20 for spraying with an extra-root feed and applied with an interval after 2 weeks Before improving the state of cucumber landings.

Violation of agrotechnology

One of the main reasons why cucumbers are deformed with crochet and become a pear-shaped form is a violation of the rules of agrotechnology of the cultivation of cucumber culture.

Crop rotation

Placed after pumpkin cultures, strawberries, eggplants and tomatoes, taking out of the soil soil, all potassium cucumbers grow irregularly form: become pear-like or hooked.

In the conditions of limited sowing areas, the fertility of the soil soil can be planted in front of late sitting cucumbers of the Siderators. Oats are considered the most potash green fertilizer from all siters.

Unsuitable varieties

Cucumbers are twisted, become round or twist if the variety is incorrect: it is not suitable for a specific season. Thus, light-minded and thermal-loving varieties by the end of the summer period will definitely be reacting to a decrease in the ambient temperature and a decrease in the daylight, which will be changed to change its form.

Early grade cucumbers, loving light and heat, is required to plant a little earlier and harvest with them until the end of August.

Upon the percentage of the potential formation of ugly vegetables, less than all the likelihood of the appearance of tweak hybrids, Paratunk and Othello. From Patty, Champion and Boy-C-Finger To end of August in 100% of cases, it will be possible to obtain curved fruits with a thin fruit or ugly form.

Improper neighborhood

Do not plan each other, especially in a closed greenhouse, pollinated and parthenocarpic varieties of cucumbers. Parthenocarpic varieties are designed for cultivation mainly in closed rooms, as hybrids form marking without pollination. But when their flowers in the neighborhood with the inflorescences of classical varieties attract insect pollinators, in most cases it leads to the deformation of the fruits and the growth of cucumbers of the wrong form.

Neighboring grades when saving the seed area are isolated from each other with nonwoven underfloor material. Also, when cultivating hybrid varieties should not often open the windows in the greenhouse, so as not to attract insects and eliminate the risk of transferaging parthenocarpic varieties with other varieties.

Violation of the rules of care

Inappropriate care for cucumber landings can cause the deformation of cucumbers.

Heat mode

Too low temperature or indicators above 30-35 ° C lead to a decrease in the digestibility of the cucumber culture of potassium, resulting in a change in the shape of cucumbers.

In the hot time of day, a regular ventilation of a closed greenhouse is required. Some dackets for the summer season take the roof of the greenhouses, so that there is not a lot of sunlight through it. Save the cucarial bushes from cool weather at night help the water barrels installed during the daytime, which by day they get warm, giving it a cool night.

When growing cucumbers in the open soil ground, set to protect against the coolness of mini-greenhouses. From unnecessary heat use underproying materials and create a shadow.

Curves cucumbers? Causes and elimination.

The wrong shape is obtained by cucumbers and with watering of vegetable culture too cold water. In this case, vegetables are formed by ties in the middle and cucumbers become similar to the keg curves.

In order for the cucumber's shape not twisted into the hook and vegetables are not sure, when watering uses water not lower than 18 ° C.

Undime harvest

The harvest of cucumbers in time is also able to influence further change in the form of future fruit. Present on the cucumber vacuum of the roshi not only lose their taste characteristics, but also inhibit the further development of young vegetables, violating the receipt of full-fledged mineral nutrition, resulting in not the form that the classic cucumber should be at all.

In the case when there is no possibility to maintain a cucumber harvest with due frequency, experienced gardeners recommend to remove vegetables at least once every 2-3 days, everything is immediately - from matured completely to small roots that grew up to 4 cm. At the same time collecting a cucumber harvest, it is worth paying Attention on the quality of cucumber weaves:

  • it is important that they are not overbounded and not rot,
  • old, started drying, should be deleted,
  • negotse leaves with signs of pathologies and diseases.

Deformed cucumbers - not such a rare phenomenon. Even experienced daches risks with such a problem. Why are cucumbers grow curves? How can I avoid this? We will give you recommendations that will allow you to grow smooth cucumbers.

The main reasons for the curvature of cucumbers

If the cucumbers acquire a pear shape or crochet, it can be provoked by different factors.

Cause 1. Microelements deficiency

The curvature of cucumbers is often associated with a shortage of trace elements. As a rule, this culture is experiencing a shortage of potassium or nitrogen. If during the season you did not contribute to the soil comprehensive fertilizers, it is possible that other trace elements are needed to cucumbers.

Deficit Potassium

Often, plants need to be fading on the basis of potassium, since its reserves in the ground by the end of July are strongly depleted. At night, the temperature regime is changed, which is negatively affecting the absorption of this element. The fact that cucumbers need a potash feeding of their yellow shade and change the form. Along with this, they are pale and twisted the books of their leaves.

In some cases, non-friction spots may appear. It is possible to solve this problem by treating with a potash salt-based solution. For its preparation you need to dilute in the water bucket of 25-30 g. You can only start watering in 4 days. After that, sit sulfur with sulfate potassium. Per quarter. m. ridges will need 40-60 g of substance. You can also make a solution based on ash (0.5 l of ash per 1 bucket of water) under the bush.

Nitrogen deficiency

If the cucumbers lack nitrogen, they become light green and narrowed from the flower side, and in the fruits area, on the contrary, are expanding. In other words, their form remotely resembles carrots. In addition, they are noticeably lagging behind in growth, they are hardening, and their leaves become small and losing brightness.

If you have noticed that the cucumbers grow deformed, spray them with a solution of urea (5 g per 1 liter of water). After 5 days, support the soil with ammonium Selitra. To prepare fertilizer you need to dilute in 10 liters of water 3 tbsp. l. This substance. With the introduction of these fertilizers, it is necessary to be neat, since the excess of nitrogen can lead to scattering strings.

An excellent alternative is organic fertilizers. From the best part, a cowboy solution has proven. In its pure form to use it is unacceptable. Dilute the remedy is needed in the ratio of 1:10. The source of nitrogen is herbal infusion. Before pouring them, the cucumbers need to be divorced with water (1:10).

Complex deficit of trace elements

With a shortage of simultaneously several elements, the cucumbers acquire an intricate form. Can resemble gigantic insects or dumbbells. If you want the fruit to get smooth, treat the bushes with nitroammophos (25 g per 1 liter of water). You can only begin to the subsequent processing in 7 days.

Cause 2. Wrong watering

Cucumbers need to provide watering with water comfortable temperature. If it is less than 25-28 ° C, it is fraught with a change in shape. The late irrigation also affects the fruits, they are hardening and twisted. As soon as the wound will appear, it is necessary to water the bushes every 2-3 days. After August 15, if there is good weather, it is possible to carry out a procedure every 7-14 days.

I buy seeds of cucumber hybrids in the store, care for them on the recommendation, and the harvest in the greenhouse is collecting small. Flowers and wounds are squeezed, the day of the plants are withering, the cucumbers grow ugly. Why does this happen?

This happens because when cultivating cucumbers, you are doing something wrong. Let's look at possible errors.

1. Create bee-raised hybrids, and from high temperatures in a greenhouse, the bee will not fly.

2. The greenhouse was very hot, and the cucumbers were badly pollinated. From dry air and soil Flowers are tremendous, and additional pollination you are unlikely to use. By the way, in parthenokarpic hybrids (self-polls) the fiction of the flower parts is a normal phenomenon, since the plants are not able to feed all the fruits.

3. If the cucumber plants are withering during the day, then the humidity in the greenhouse is insufficient. I recommend richly pouring the soil and in-set a container with water without closing it with a lid.

4. The reason for the growing of twisted, ugly fruits can also be a very high temperature (above 32 degrees). And also dry soil and at the same time irregular watering. Due to the lack of moisture, the plants are poorly pollinated, and non-standard fruits are formed.

5. The lack of beneficial substances in the soil, which is often observed by the end of the fruction, - the feeders have already ended, all nutrients are spent, and the wounds continue to form, as a result, the cucumbers are not happy with beauty. At the last paragraph, delete your attention, it seems, it will be helpful and other daches. If the cucumbers have a shape of a pear, the plants require feeding of potassium, use potassium sulfate (1 tbsp. Spoon on 10 liters of water). So that they quickly receive this fertilizer, spray with a nutrient solution in the evening along the leaves.

The cucumbers in the form are similar to carrots (pointed at the end, closer to the place where the flower was), it means that the plants needed a nitrogen. You can pour a diluted cow (1:10), bird litter (1:20) or use the ready-made organic bid fertilizer in dilution 1:20. It is good to pour the soil of fermented grass or urea (1 teaspoon on 10 liters of water).

Flowers dried and creep

In the greenhouse, the cucumbers of the flowers were a lot, but they dried and trembled. Watering cucumbers well. What is the reason?

Apparently, you grow aparticles in the greenhouse, and the bees do not want to fly to the greenhouse, since there are increased humidity of the air and the wings they swell. To attract bees, you can deliver a bouquet with a flowering onion, dandelion, soul, Borago (cucumber grass) near the cucumbers.

I spray plants with honey or sugar solution (less often). And you need to spray, and not pour a honey solution in a saucer: the bees will take everything on
Flowers of cucumbers will not sit down, therefore pollination will not happen.

If it does not help, I advise you to work for bees, that is, to hold manual pollination. To do this, make a male flower (it is larger and without lapping), wrap the petals and the sticky of the stamens several times tap the stall of the female flower (with the urging). Do it better until 12 o'clock. If a few days later, polished plants will start growing, it means that the operation has passed successfully. Otherwise, it will have to repeat it. Troublesome? Yes, but harvest is more expensive. Next year, grow parthenokarpic cucumbers in the greenhouse, they themselves pollinate without bees.

Watering for the summer houses

We work and on the plot we are once a week, and the cucumbers should be watered more often. Advise what to do.

The leaves on the cucumbers are very large and much evaporate water, so they require watering every other day or two. With a rare visit to the cottage, I advise you to put buckets or other tanks with water to the cucumber bed or other tanks with water to enhance humidity, then the cucumbers can be poured less frequently. At the same time, do not forget to open the ends in the garden under the captive, and in the greenhouse, that the plants do not overheat.

You can fill plastic bottles with water, make several punctures in the lid and immerse in the soil. So that the holes are not clogged with the earth, it is necessary to put a bottle into a hole filled with large sand or small gravel.

I also saw some dackets took polyethylene bags, filled them with water and tightly tied. Then came the side of the hole and put the packages near the plants. Water, slowly leaking into the ground, moisturizes it, it turns out the like drip irrigation. In addition, the water in the package is always heated, warm. There you can pour and a weak nutrient solution for filtering plants, if necessary. It is also attractive that with this method of watering the holes are not clogged.

Bitter from heat and drought

Why do cucumbers prick? I care for them, buying varietal seeds in the store.

Some old grades inherent in the fruits. And yet more often the degree of bitterness of cucumbers depends on the weather and conditions of cultivation. High temperature, bright solar lighting with weak watering, lack of moisture in the air contribute to the accumulation of bitterness. So, in an extraordinarily hot and dry weather in the suburbs, even a very tasty hybrid of Zazulya was barely. After the heat fell, the appeared cucumbers were all without bitterness, sweet. By the way, such a mustard is harmless to the body, and if you don't like it, then clean the fruits starting from the flower to the tail so that the knife does not smear the bitterness all over the cucumbers.

Why are they withering?

Why are some cucumber plants wither in the daytime, although I miss them well?

Sometimes the plants are wither in the afternoon due to the surface watering of the soil: water does not fall to the bulk of the roots. It is better to water in 2-3 receptions or make vertical punctures in the soil.

If you are all right in this regard, then the cucumbers could get root rot. Look, whether all plants are withering. If not all, but only 1-2, then the probability of the disease is high. Sick plants first lag behind in growth, then withering during the day, and at night restores. As the disease develops, they and at night are standing with lowered, as if by the servers, leaves. The root rot is striking and seedlings, and adult plants in the open ground, under the film and in the greenhouse. Initially, the tip of the root will die, the root neck will be drilled, then the stem, and the plant, poorly attached, falls. Even the fruiting bushes are sick, the rogues are falling.

If the sick plant has to shake the soil from the stem to the roots, then it can be noted that the roots are yellow-dark with cracks, and the stem is drunk. The spread of the disease contributes to watering cold water, sharp fluctuations in temperature, growing cucumbers on heavy clay soil, planting landings and applying manure.

Save such cucumbers can no longer. When 1-2 plants got sick, you need to dig them with roots, remove the soil from the holes by 10 cm, replace the new one. If the cucumbers grew in the greenhouse, it will have to disinfect it, it is better to do it in autumn. It was insistant 400 g of chlorine lime in a bucket of water 3-4 hours, then the liquid merge and spray all overlaps, film (or glass), and the sediment is used to fracture the slots. You can solish the soil with dry chlorine lime and close with robbles.

More flowers - more cucumbers

How to improve flowering and fruiting cucumbers in a greenhouse?

During the flowering of the plant can be sprayed with boric acid (1/4 teaspoon on 10 liters of water). It can be spraying with growth substances, such as an ideal (cap of the liquid per 1 liter of water), gum (10 drops per 1 liter of water) or biostimulants, such as urging (2 g per 1 liter of water). Good results gives spraying epinom (1 ampoule on 5 liters of water).

Treatment is carried out twice: at the very beginning of flowering and during the maximum appearance of flowers. The effect of these drugs is especially effective in cool weather.

They do not need bees

What is the partrenokarpic cucumber hybrids than they differ from the usual varieties?

There are two types of cucumbers. Bee-peeped, in which fruit tying requires pollination of flowers by bees, bumblebees and other insects. On such plants, men's and female flowers are laid, and male flowers (without wounded) are always larger, their stamens have pollen to pollinate the female flower. For example, such famous cucumbers, like Murom, Nezhinskiy are beeho-deceased.

Unlike them, parthenocarpic cucumbers, called still samopidal, form the fruits themselves, without polling insects, so they do not have male flowers.

Cutting to the gardening and garden plot only on weekends is better to grow parthenokarpic hybrids. The same, who constantly lives in the country, can be planted and white cucumbers. In this case, the door to a greenhouse or a film on the bed in the morning should be opened so that bees and other insects can fly to pollinate. However, always keep the greenhouse closed, as the cucumbers love warmth.

Your cucumbers until autumn

How to extend the flow of fresh cucumbers in the late summer - early autumn?

In mid-August, when the temperature decreases, especially in the night hours, the crop falls, there may be diseases, and you can forget about cucumbers. So that this does not happen, the plants should be stolen. Film stretched on arcs, warming up, sketching the second film or nonwoven material.

With the onset of cooling, the absorption of nutrient plants is reduced, so for the active increase in fruit instead of the root feeding, proceed to non-corrosive fertilizer doses - spray on leaves.

At the end of the season, reduce the number and volume of irrigation. At the same time, water necessarily in the morning. Grow partrenokarpic hybrids, with them less hassle.

When we plant any vegetables in your gods, we are waiting that in the end, they will grow up with us as in the picture with seeds. But, to such a "beauty" they often simply do not reach, and look much less attractive. This applies to many vegetables, the same tomatoes that often spook straight on the bushes. Often cucumbers also do not please us with their correct forms. They take various forms, just not such that we would like to see. Ugly cucumbers are often lying on our beds and they do not decorate them at all. Such cucumbers do not even want to tear off. That is why many of them are so left to lie before harvesting the garden. And as a shame happens, coming to the market to see that all the cucumbers are flat and almost one form. How do people manage to grow such beauty? Let's try to figure out what was not enough for your cucumbers, since they grew up such "handsome".

If the cucumbers grow irregularly form. Causes of this phenomenon

So, why do your cucumbers do not correspond to the "beauty standards" and are much different from them for the worse? Cucumbers, these are vegetables that eat must necessarily well, that is, the soil should give them all the necessary substances. They should be there in sufficient quantities. But, at the same time, they love the norm, that is, there should be no exceeding the concentration of such substances. So on the basis of this, it is necessary to feed them more often if you compare them with other vegetables. Once a week, for example. But, so you need to do it only to portions small, and apply mineral fertilizers for this fertilizer. If something important in the soil is not enough, or with some fertilizers, you seriously overlooked, then the fruit itself will definitely "tell you", your task, learn to understand this difficult tongue of cucumbers. Now we are just and we will study this "cucumber" language.

If nitrogen you have made a little into the soil, then the fruits of cucumbers will be light green. This color does not depend on the variety. With such a color, where there was a flower, that is, the top of the cucumber is usually narrowed and sharpened. Often this upper part of the cucumber is also bent, and often reminds us of a beak of some exotic bird. The same cucumber shape is close to the shape resembling a conical carrot. The disadvantage of this fairly important element is reflected not only on the form of cucumbers, but also on the leaves of the plant itself. The leaves are just yellowing, stems and shoots sideways seriously slow down their slows down.

It happens that with nitrogen we, on the contrary, moved. Then, respectively, the cucumbers in color become dark green, and the leaves themselves and all the scourge grow very violently. Here the situation needs to be straightened. For this, the cucumbers will need another feeding - superphosphate or an even simpler version, wood ash. Here you do not need to slow, otherwise you do not get any fruits, even the wrong shape. But the tops will be very much.

There are problems with potassium. When it is not enough, the fruits are narrowed, and the narrowing is going to the fruit. But the top at the same time, on the contrary, expands and the shape takes the ball. As a result, the cucumber himself is completely similar to a light bulb or a pear. Leaves also feel the lack of potassium. They appear kimea light color, along the edges, starting right from the lower leaves. With heat, such a plant can also be lowered.

The cucumbers were not allowed phosphorus, then wait for their general slowdown in the growth. The ourselves are almost stopped growing, the leaflets become very small (in color dark-green), and often dry very quickly.

It happens that fertilizers do not happen here. Completely fruits narrowed in the middle, and acquire the "Osin" waist, when the temperature differs significantly at night and day, or when you walked them strongly cold water. When the cucumbers are twisted, and in shape resemble some arc, it means that the soil dryed the soil, or you watered them extremely unevenly

Try to remember these signs, then it will be easier for you to figure out what is missing from your cucumbers at the moment. What do they need to be filtered or, that change when leaving them.

And here is a good video where you will tell you again why the cucumbers grow the wrong shape. We look.

Content

Each farmer wants to get a crop of a presentable type, because the buyer is primarily oriented towards external parameters. With cucumbers often arise problems, especially if they are grown in greenhouse conditions - vegetables are twisted. It does not affect tasteings, but consumers are trying to bypass the deformed product.

Why cucumbers twist in greenhouse

The first fruits almost always have a beautiful form - they are smooth and small. Why then cucumbers grow in a greenhouse? Similar to this are bad conditions of content, features of the neighborhood and concrete varieties. Some nuances of the fruit twisting process:

  • The combination of many phenomena affects the state of fruits. Since in the greenhouse, the microclimate is maintained artificially, a person can easily be mistaken, forming optimal indicators. The disembarkation method also affects the process.
  • Cucumber loses its normal form if it lacks nutrients, light and warm water. Because of this, he slows down his height, the skin is compacted, there is not enough liquid in the pulp and the fruit begins to twist.
  • If the cucumber has a form of a pear (thickened in the place where the flower was), he lacks potassium. The reverse form of "puzacy" indicates a shortage of nitrogen, sunlight and watering.

Why the cucumbers crosses grow with an unsuccessful neighborhood

The neighboring plants depends on how beautiful and generous will the harvest be. Why are cucumbers grow in a greenhouse and how near the culture are affected by the shape of green fruits? The reason for failure is as follows: Neighborhood of varieties of different types of polling. Do not cultivate the plants close to each other, pollinated by bees, and parthenocarpic varieties (self-polished - hybrids). If they are not in isolation from each other, then the likelihood of getting the crop of cucumbers curves is great.

What to do? Discharge pollinating insect access to the greenhouse. When you leave the outdoor culture, cover them with gauze. It is better if the cucumbers of different varieties will grow at different ends of the garden or greenhouses. The least of all the crooked fruits is obtained in such hybrids:

  • "Othello";
  • "Octopus";
  • "Paratunka";
  • Twecks.

Only 5% of the cucumbers of these varieties are twisted. Fruiting "Pasamonte", "Pasaden" is not so good, since about 30% of the fruit curves. The bad indicators from "Santana", "Primateonna", "Talisman", "Emeli" - closer to the fall, almost half of the harvest has an irregular form. Even worse things are the varieties of "Prestige", "Champion", "Buyan", "Patty": Almost all these cucumbers grow poorly and have a curve to the end of the summer.

Why cucumbers deform for violation of agrotechnology

The reason for the formation of incorrect fruit is the lack of potassium. Nitrogen, phosphorus and organic fertilizers are often made with interest, and about potassium-containing feeders forget. Remember the simple rule: while the plant is in the vegetative period (not fruits), fertilize the harvest phosphorus. During the flowering and formation of fruits, feed cucumbers with nitrogen and potassium. Observe the necessary proportions and the technology of making feeding.

Why are cucumbers grow in a greenhouse and how to fix it? Watering with cold water also leads to deformation of fruits. The liquid must be defended in the sun, then the crop will be smooth. The second point that concerns watering is to conduct a procedure in the morning and bring water in sufficient quantities. If the primer will stand dry for a long time, then the growth of cucumbers will slow down, the fruits harde and deform.

In order for the cultivation of this culture gave positive results, it is necessary to properly care for the soil. Tight soil with a crust on the surface prevents normal air exchange. With the help of a boletter or tool with teeth, you need to explode the earth before sowing. Then it should be done very carefully or at all to abandon the procedure - there is a risk of damaging the root system. In order not to form an earthen crust, the soil is mulched - the surface of the soil is coated with peat and humus.
