Yeast top dressing for cucumbers: action, how to cook

To increase crop productivity, use mineral and organic fertilizers. Yeast for cucumbers is a good way to enhance fruiting. This method allows you to make the feeding process harmless. Chemicals increase efficiency, but can have negative effects on crops. There are various recipes for yeast mixtures for a specific type of growing vegetables.

Yeast Overview

Yeast is a unicellular mushroom that, when it enters the ground, increases the activity of microorganisms in the soil. Bacteria help decompose organic matter faster. As a result of this, plants receive significantly more micronutrients for good growth. Yeast fertilizer is used for peppers, tomatoes and cucumbers. For proper handling of the latter, you need to follow several rules:

• the solution is made from warm water;
• the concentrated mixture is diluted with water;
• fertilize directly the root system;
• Before fertilizing, thoroughly water the plants and soils;
• feeding cucumbers with yeast is done no more than 3 times per season.

Organics and fertilizer from yeast are undesirable to use together. The interval between use should be one and a half weeks. Yeast top dressing of cucumbers occurs in calm dry weather. The action is long, an approximate period of about 1.5 months.

The solution contains protein, various trace elements, aminocarboxylic acids. They increase the fertility of cucumbers in the open ground and in the polycarbonate greenhouse. In vegetables, immunity is strengthened, quickly covered with leaves, the root system is formed more efficiently. This reduces the impact of diseases and pests, improves plant growth. Microorganisms process organic matter and secrete potassium and nitrogen.

Topping cucumbers in open ground and a greenhouse

Top dressing for cucumbers is carried out with bread and water or dry yeast. In open ground, the soil itself gives away many nutrients to cucumbers. In connection with this synergy, it is recommended to fertilize seedlings once a month.

Here are the following steps:

1. When the first leaf grows, then the first top dressing is performed. Then the root system and the bush itself begin to develop more rapidly.
2. When flowers appear, then it's time for a second top dressing. Cucumber processing attracts pollinating insects. Gardeners also add a solution of sugar.

During fruiting and after it should be fed cucumbers with yeast. Procedures are best done on moist soil in the evening, when the weather is warm. An important aspect is not oversaturation of the soil with nutrients. Such care will cause excessive harm to the vegetable. Instead of fruits, greenery will mainly grow.

Vegetables that are grown in greenhouses require more attention to themselves. There is no natural soil, therefore top dressing should be carried out every 7 days. Due to the good greenhouse conditions, cucumbers are developing rapidly, they need a large amount of minerals and vitamins. Fertilize cucumbers with yeast should not be more than 1 time per month.

Pathogenic pathogens are removed with a yeast solution. The fertilizer application pattern is similar to open ground. Video feed is attached below.

Dates of feeding cucumbers

Here the starting point will be the picking process. It is recommended to use yeast to feed cucumbers twice. Usually, 3 days before a dive or a week later. 2 times falls on the fifth or sixth day before transplanting from the greenhouse into the open ground. It should be borne in mind:

1. Re-feeding with yeast is possible if the soil is infected with a fungus and there is a chance that the crop will disappear.
2. The soil must first be prepared, i.e. make the necessary minerals in it. Potassium and calcium are needed in large quantities, as they are absorbed by yeast. When depleted, the soil will have poor fertility.
3. All proportions according to the recipes should be observed. Excessive amounts of a substance will only harm the plant.

It is advisable to feed cucumbers with yeast at the first appearance of the leaf. A good effect will be when processing after the formation of ovaries. Fertilizing should take place in the summer. Then all climatic conditions are observed.

Flowering time is the time to ensure that the top dressing of cucumber seedlings is perfect. Such actions can increase the duration, improve the quality of the ovaries. As a result, the number of fruits will increase.

Recipes for Yeast Fertilizers

Cucumbers are usually fertilized with wet or dry yeast. Bread with hops can also be used. Then the fermentation will go faster, and the concentration of nitrogen will be greater. Nitrogen has a positive effect on plant development. For prevention against diseases, potassium permanganate is added to the solution.

Use products with a normal shelf life. After the expiration, the effect will be much weaker. Exist many recipes for different dressings for open soil and greenhouses. They can be prepared from improvised means.

Feeding from yeast and ascorbic acid:

1. 2 g of ascorbic acid and 11 grams of dry yeast are mixed.
2. Vitamin C increases the ovaries, reduces the risk of the formation of empty flowers, increases the immunity to diseases.

Fertilizing cucumbers in a greenhouse is probably necessary without sugar, since it does not bring special benefits in such an environment. To properly prepare the solution, you need to dilute a kilogram of yeast in 1 liter of water. Then hold in a closed warm place all day.

You can take a liter of warm milk and mix it with 100 grams of yeast, while insisting it for about 3 hours. Such a mixture will help protect the plant from infection.

Sugar supplements help improve fermentation. Peppers and cucumbers are fed using this mixture. In its preparation you need 10 liters of water and 10 grams of yeast. All this is mixed with 50 grams of sugar. After cooking, they are kept in a warm place for 4-5 hours.

Bread is used mainly in greenhouses. Half a bucket of bread crumb is poured with warm water, and then left for 7 days. For fast fermentation, you can add yeast.

Yeast supplementation and dosage schedule

The first fertilizer is produced with the first leaves. The second - after a transfer to a new place.The third time falls on the period of active flowering.

To prevent negative consequences, the following tips should be observed:

• an adult bush consumes a liter of solution;
• if the seedlings were transplanted, then about 400 ml of the solution is spent on its spraying;
• yeast as a fertilizer for cucumbers is suitable only 3 times a season;
• sprayed no more than 2 times in dry, calm and warm weather.

To properly water the cucumbers, you need to know the following:

• yeast should be bred with water no higher than 40 degrees;
• fertilizer is applied under the root;
• water cucumbers should be a solution in the amount of 10 liters per bush;
• in order for fruits to grow faster, temperature conditions must be observed.

Reviews

Summer residents note that the correct alternation of fertilizing will help to maintain fertile soil and bring a large number of delicious fruits.

Burlakova Anna, 42 years old.

She planted cucumbers in a greenhouse, then transferred to open ground. Often tormented by the problem of pests and the formation of empty flowers. I learned that the frequent application of yeast supplements absorbs a large amount of potassium and calcium. I began to add mineral fertilizers, everything immediately began to improve. I advise everyone to alternate these procedures.

Zebzhin Victor, 51 years old.

To feed the cucumbers with yeast, I had to re-read different reviews. The tips were very necessary. I emphasized for myself that in open soil it is better to mix yeast with sugar in order to get the best effect. I feed not only cucumbers, but also tomatoes and peppers. I don’t really bother with preparing such a fertilizer.

Korelo Victoria, 53 years old.

One year overdid it with her husband, the whole crop was completely burned. Yeast was introduced almost every week, it turned out about 7 times per season. We fixed all the errors, took into account the shortcomings. Now we are already collecting the second crop of cucumbers, their taste has slightly changed for the better. We try to observe the variety in fertilizers.

Cucumbers need to be fed with yeast, as they improve soil quality and increase immunity to diseases. Careful adherence to the timing of fertilizer application and the right proportions will help to grow a healthy plant.
