HOW TO FEED CUCUMBERS YEAST

Cucumbers, like any other plant, require regular fertilizing. Traditionally, mineral or organic fertilizers are applied. And some prefer to buy them in stores, others - to do it yourself. In the latter case, it is possible to choose exactly those components that your plant lacks for this period of development.

Particularly valued by gardeners are products prepared with the participation of microorganisms — saccharomycete fungi, which help organics quickly decompose. Another advantage of using such fertilizers is the protection of plants against pests and diseases, the beneficial effect on the microflora. Among others, yeast is used as a fertilizer for vegetables. Next, let's talk about how to apply them in the cultivation of cucumbers.

The use of yeast in the garden

Yeast is known to all more for the products that we ourselves used to eat: kvass, pastries, bread, and others. But thanks to the microorganisms that are included in their composition, they are successfully used as fertilizer. They are composed of proteins, micro-and macronutrients, amino acids, iron and other useful substances. Because of this, they develop and grow better.

If we talk specifically about what contributes to feeding cucumbers with yeast, it is necessary to note this positive effect:

stimulate the growth of seedlings;
enrich plants with natural bacteria that strengthen their immunity;
promote the best education of roots, proper rooting;
increase the growth rate of the vegetative mass;
increase the endurance of seedlings, even if during its cultivation there was not enough light.

When preparing a yeast fertilizer, the use of chopped grass or bird droppings should be avoided. These organic substances neutralize the action of the yeast.

The principle of the positive impact of yeast on the soil is simple. They rebuild its composition due to the fungus that they contain, create a favorable environment for the activity of microorganisms. The latter begin to actively process the organic elements of the soil, releasing potassium and nitrogen into it.

Yeast as fertilizer: the timing of feeding

Yeast can begin to use for seedlings of cucumbers. In terms, as a rule, this is the beginning of spring. This can be done both during the dive, and during the landing in open ground.

Did you know? To achieve the effect that yeast has on plants, it is not necessary to use the yeast itself. Good results can be achieved if you just pour the beds of beer or kvass. Naturally, it should be a lively drink, not a pasteurized one.

Yeast top dressing for cucumbers is also used during the development of the plant in open ground. Fertilizer, which was made during planting seedlings, lasts a maximum of two months. Therefore, the most suitable time in this case is the time of formation of the ovary until the completion of fruiting once a month. Total is about three times per season. In this way, you can saturate the soil with nitrogen, and the results of this activity can be seen after three days.

Important! Although yeasts saturate the soil with nitrogen and potassium, they reduce the amount of calcium in it. Therefore, to maintain the balance, the feeding of cucumber seedlings with yeast should be carried out together with crushed eggshell or ash.

There is another scheme for the introduction of fertilizer. The first time a week after planting the seedlings in the ground, and the second - after making superphosphate, in the event that it was not introduced in the fall.

Too much abuse of such dressing is not worth it, three times per season is enough. Such an event is more likely to stimulate growth, but does not replace full-value fertilizers. Make sure that the yeast used has an acceptable shelf life.

How to cook fertilizer for cucumbers

Feeding for cucumbers from yeast is prepared in minutes. For the manufacture of suitable yeast in any form: dry, raw, packed in briquettes. Moreover, if the yeast themselves could not be found, you can use any flour products that contain the decay products of microorganisms: bread, crackers, buns. It is ideal to add a bit of ground hops to the mix, since the plant itself is actively promoting fermentation and nitrogen production. Having received such a nutritious cocktail, cucumbers quickly increase the green mass, the number of fetal ovaries, while reducing the number of barren flowers.

Important! Leaving cooked fertilizer on the next time is not recommended. Each time a fresh solution is prepared.

To make a yeast fertilizer, use this recipe. In a liter of water it is necessary to dissolve a gram of yeast and a teaspoon of sugar. The mixture should be left for two hours at least, the field of which it is ready to use. However, before watering cucumbers, fertilizer should be diluted in proportion to one part of the mixture to five parts of water. There is another recipe for cooking. Sugar in this case is not needed, but the dose of yeast is increased 50 times. Just a sweet environment promotes the reproduction of microorganisms, and without it, their number must be increased. The rest of the rules of preparation and use are the same.

Did you know? Making a decision for yourself, we fertilize cucumbers with yeast, you can solve another problem - to get rid of gray rot in the area. To combat it, dissolve 100 g of yeast in a bucket of water and pour bushes under the plant root with this solution.

To stimulate the growth of cucumbers can be made so-called "Braga". To do this, dissolve 100 g of yeast and half a glass of sugar in three liters of water. The mixture is covered with gauze and left in a warm place for a week. Then the substance can be used to prepare the solution. How to feed cucumbers yeast in this case? Take a glass of the mixture and dilute it in a bucket of water. Then water cucumbers at the rate of one liter of top dressing on one bush.

Some especially economic gardeners prepare sourdough on the basis of bread crusts and yeast. To do this, in a container of 10 liters pour the remnants of bread and crusts, soured milk, the remnants of any jam and a pack of dry yeast. Mix well, press down, add warm water, wrap and hide in a warm place for about a week. During this time, the mixture should be mixed with a frequency of twice a day. The way how to feed the cucumbers with yeast prepared in this way will be similar to the previous example: dilute a glass of sourdough in a bucket of warm water and pour it into a liter under a bush.

Features of the use of yeast in the garden: how to water cucumbers

There are several immutable rules that must be followed by using yeast in the feeding of cucumbers. Some of them have already been mentioned above, but once again we recall.

Here's how to water the cucumbers with yeast, adhering to these rules:

fertilizer is prepared only in warm water;
The resulting fertilizer must be diluted in warm water before irrigation at a ratio of 1:10;
Pour the solution under the root of the bush;
before watering the ground should be slightly moistened;
similar feeding is used throughout the season, but not more than three times.

Important! Since the yeast is active only in a warm environment, warm water is used for the solution. Make a solution at the root of the plant, too, must be warm.

Few people even thought about whether it is possible to feed the cucumbers with yeast. In fact, this is even necessary. This is an environmentally friendly organic product that is able to saturate the soil with nitrogen, and the plants themselves are necessary for the growth and development of substances. To prepare the solution is simple. For this, it is not necessary to look for the yeast themselves, it is enough to use yeast products. Sometimes it is recommended to add other substances to them that will supplement the solution with missing useful elements. But to use yeast as a fertilizer for cucumbers should be carefully, no more than three times per season.
