scheme topping cucumbers
To perform topping, there is a special procedure.On how well you follow it, it will determine the future life of the plant and the duration of its fruiting.On lateral shoots must be removed growth point.Thus you will stop the growth of cucumber.Zelentsy will soon be formed and poured the juice.This is the whole essence of topping.By the time when the plant begins to bear fruit, it must be formed as follows: one long stem and short shoots on the side.If you do not prischipnut side shoots on time, this will lead to the fact that the main stem will be short, will grow indefinitely delayed side shoots and fruiting.Usually in the summer in the axils of lower plucked shoots completely.Pasynky appearing in bundles of leaves are removed.It is also recommended to remove the small ovaries in the first 3-4 leaves.This is done for the first cucumbers not slowed the growth of plants.You can collect some early fruit, and then wait a week, when there will be next cucumber.Pinching the first of the ovaries in the axils of lower allows to protect the plants from exhaustion.In the future, you will get a bountiful harvest.
