The cultivation system depends on the mechanical composition of the soil, the biology of individual crops, the current state of the soil in horticulture and the climatic conditions in the area
With good agricultural technology, every 10 kg of tubers and the corresponding amount (8 kg) of tops carry 40-60 g of nitrogen, 15-20 g of phosphorus and 70-90 g of potassium. To prevent the soil from losing fertility, it is imperative to return these substances in the form of fertilizers
In recent years, people have increasingly come to us with complaints about poor plant growth, as well as poor storage of potato tubers. One of the reasons for this is the infection of potatoes with globoderosis
About 40 viral, viroid and phytoplasmic diseases are now known. They appear in the form of a variety of mosaics, deformations, chlorosis, growth inhibition, dying off of plants or their individual parts
Fallow, fallow field - a crop rotation field not occupied by crops during the growing season and kept in a loose and weed-free state; an effective agrotechnical means of accumulating moisture in the soil, increasing its fertility and controlling weeds
Shallots are very similar to onions, but smaller. But they are perfectly stored! And what is important, they form many shoots - up to 30 bulbs and more are formed in one nest
It is strange that this culture has not received mass distribution. This is most likely due to the fact that the tiered bow does not have a dormant period, and in warmer climates it would probably vegetate continuously
Vsevolozhsk breeding station, production and sale of elite potato seeds of varieties: Aurora, Ryabinushka, Impala, Rosara, Red Scarlett, Red Lady, Queen Anna and others. +7 (812) 409-47-99, +7 (921) 573-37-92
Onions, as well as chives, batun and other types of onions, can be used for growing indoors for greens in winter, during a period of acute deficiency of vitamins and other biologically active substances

Many dangerous pests are known that destroy a significant part of the onion and garlic harvest and greatly reduce its quality. Often, gardeners, due to ignorance of these pests, do not carry out any protective measures, and as a result, they lose a significant part of the crop
Cucumber loves the presence of a large amount of nutrients in the soil, but at the same time it does not tolerate a high concentration of nutrients in the substrate. Therefore, they resort to fractional fertilization
Cucumbers have been grown in Russia since the 16th century. But then they were grown not in greenhouses, but in the open field. And I also decided to try growing cucumbers in the open field, abandoning greenhouses. It all started with choosing a place for a new warm ridge
Cucumbers are demanding on the diet, as their roots are located in the upper soil layer and almost does not use nutrients from the depths. They quickly absorb nutrients and are sensitive to increased concentration of soil solution
In July, the main headache for gardeners is caused by problems in greenhouses: diseases of tomatoes and cucumbers begin, troubles with peppers. If you have not done prophylaxis against late blight, then it will definitely start first on potatoes, and then on tomatoes
I spied on this method of growing cucumbers in a Siberian village. In the spring, the gardener builds a high bed of last year's straw manure, makes depressions in it, pours earth into them and covers them with polyethylene
Stimulate the growth of new shoots and leaves with ovaries. To do this, cut out all yellowed leaves and leaves that are located below the fruiting zone. But not until the first greenery, but a little less, leaving 2-3 leaves before it
The first rule for the formation of cucumber hybrids is to remove the ovaries and lateral lashes from the first four leaves. They do this due to the fact that otherwise, the first zelents take all the food on themselves and thereby take away precious summer time
After planting the seedlings of cucumbers, I spend the first feeding in two weeks - the ridge has already been filled with superphosphate and mineral fertilizer, I irrigate as the soil dries up. Cold snaps begin, and on such days I do not water or feed
When growing seedlings, you need more phosphorus to build up the root system, but even without leaves, the plant will be weak. I stick to the formula NPK = 1: 1.5: 0.5. Phosphorus is preferred, so when filling the soil mixture, I always add superphosphate
If you have the seeds in branded bags that say "Warmed up", then you don't need to do anything with them. If you do not trust this inscription, then you yourself need to warm the seeds at + 40 ° C for a week. I wrap the bags in newspaper and hang them from the radiator
Last summer was unusually rainy and cold. Like a year ago, I sowed cucumbers in arc greenhouses and covered them with "Svetlitsa" - "Greenhouse" film. She has saved my crops more than once. It happened this summer too
Several years ago, Chinese long-fruited cucumbers appeared in my vegetable collection. This is a special type of cucumber, its fruits, depending on the variety, reach a length of 40 to 80 cm, there are also longer
Advantages of the method: you can transfer buckets of cucumbers to any lighted and warm place, it is convenient to water. You can use cucumber lashes in the interior design of the site. And the harvest even in the rainy summer of 2003 was worthy
It is possible to improve the soil in the greenhouse in a natural way, by regulating the ratio of living organisms in the soil through the introduction of good compost, the use of green manure and microbiological preparations
If there are many male flowers on the side shoots, but there are no female ovaries, this may indicate a thickened planting. The abundance of male flowers can also be caused by excessive watering or shading of the plantings
In order to get the first cucumbers earlier, you can plant 4-5 bushes with seedlings grown in peat pots, so as not to injure the root system of cucumbers
In varieties with a female flowering type, fruits are formed on the main stem and on the branches. In other varieties, male flowers appear on the main stem, and the main crop is formed on the branches, i.e., side branches
I have been growing cucumbers outdoors for 20 years. After sowing, I water the ground well and cover the beds with a film, it is possible and old, but more or less transparent. To prevent the cucumbers from burning under the film from the sun, I make cross-shaped cuts in the film over each plant
To approach the first harvest of the season, some enthusiastic gardeners and gardeners grow vegetables on window sills or on warm loggias. I also tried this experiment
Let's talk about seed varieties. First of all, I want to say that, in my opinion, in our climatic conditions it is more rational to use heterotic F1 hybrids for sowing. Once upon a time, gardeners had already noticed that the varieties were degenerating, and resorted to various tricks to preserve the properties of the variety
In terms of agricultural technology, gherkin and pickle varieties are slightly different from zelentzovy ones, to which we are accustomed. They have the same temperature requirements for growing seedlings. But there are still some features when growing gherkins and pickles
My pepper harvest has always been good before, but in recent years it has become earlier and has doubled. I believe that the reason for this success lies precisely in the early sowing of seeds for seedlings
A hardened young plant, when it grows, needs a pinch of the main stem over 4-5 leaves. Simply put, you need to cut off the tops of the plant, after which the side shoots will begin to grow vigorously, on which flowers with a female type of flowering abundantly develop
Today we are talking about lemon cucumber. Sometimes it is also called a "crystal apple" cucumber. This is the name of the variety of this unusual plant with spherical fruits, which first appeared in Europe, and then turned out to be here in Russia
Seeds can be sown in the total volume of soil, and then the seedlings can be sown - each plant in its own vessel. You can immediately sow each seed in your vessel. It turned out that the volume of this personal vessel greatly affects the yield of some crops
Everyone knows that peppers are more thermophilic than tomatoes. Therefore, I recommend growing it not in a greenhouse, but in a high greenhouse, a small volume of air in which it is easier to warm up than a large volume of air in a greenhouse
Cucumbers can quite realistically be considered as an early culture even in our difficult conditions, because their first fruits, if desired, can be obtained already in mid-June. True, this culture will have to be grown somewhat differently than is generally accepted
LLC "Plastfur" (St. Petersburg) offers plastic rollers for hanging tomatoes and cucumbers in greenhouses. The roller shortens the hanging time of the plants and makes it easy to adjust the decline of the bush as it grows
These peppers are quite large, weighing up to 60 grams, have a pleasant mildly spicy taste, and are good in hot dishes and salads. This is a mid-late ripening pepper, so it is advisable to sow seeds for seedlings in the second decade of February
