After heavy rains, I reach into the fridge and spray the cucumbers with it, and they are resistant to plague
It can be safely stated that the cultivation of cucumbers in Poland is definitely not the most difficult tasks. Both the climate and the soil in our country are conducive to this plant. Nevertheless, cucumbers are extremely susceptible to various plagues and diseases that can destroy all cultivation in a very short time. Most often they touch them during the summer, i.e. during abundant fruiting. And one thing is certain – the weather in recent days is not conducive to cucumbers. Frequent and heavy rainfall is favored by development, such as: powdery mildew, powdery mildew, angular spotting or gray mold. That is why I always reach for the fridge after heavy rains for this liquid and spray my cucumbers with it, and thanks to this they have been resistant to plague and diseases for years.
Homemade spraying for the plague of cucumbers. Preparation
This is very easy to prepare, because you only need degreased milk and water for it. Such spraying of milk is a simple, cheap and ecological way to protect cucumbers from powdery mildew. Regular use of this solution can help maintain healthy plants and increase crops. How to spray milk cucumbers? Most often, a milk solution with water is used in a 1: 9 ratio (1 part of milk for 9 parts of water). In a situation where you already notice the symptoms of the plague on your cucumbers, use a 1: 1 solution (1 part of the milk for 1 part of the water), but be careful not to burn the leaves on sunny days.
How does milk spraying for cucumbers work?
Spraying of milk – one of the most common fungal diseases of these plants. That is why it is worth using it regularly after rain and high humidity to protect your crops. And how does this spraying work? The protein contained in milk, lactoferrin, has anti -fungal properties, and lactic acid inhibits the development of fungi. Milk also contains useful microorganisms that can compete with fungal pathogens and thus stimulate the plant immune system.
