CUCUMBERS

EXTRACT PURPOSE: seeds soaking before sowing, plants nutrition by spraying or watering, soil treatment.

PREPARATION: Shake the bottle well before use. Fill the can with water by half, add the extract, mix well and add the rest of the water. The water should be chlorine-free, if water is chlorine, then let it stand for at least 24-48 hours and then mix with GROWO. Use the working solution immediately. When other chemical fertilizers are used, the extract is added last. 

THE EXTRACT CAN BE USED:

  1. Soil treatment - a working 1% solution of 1:100 (dilute 1 cover GROWO: 1 liter of water) is used, which processes the soil after harvesting and before sowing.
  2. Seed impregnation before sowing - the seeds are immersed in a 2% solution 1:50 (dilute 2 covers GROWO: 1 liter of water), where they are kept for 12-24 hours at t 18-20° C, after which the seeds are sown immediately.
  3. Plants additional fertilizing:

  Operation Duration of treatment Dose (extract: water) Application technology
Production of seedlings 1 treatment 2-4 foliar 1:100 (1% solution) Spraying
  2 additional fertilizing 4-5 days before transplant 1:50 (2% solution) Watering
After planting 1 treatment During the budding period 1:100 (1% solution) Spraying
  2 add. fertilizing With a stem height of 50-70 cm 1:50 (2% solution) Watering    80 ml / root
  3 add. fertilizing and subsequent
with a period 10-12 days 		Fruiting 1:100 (1% solution) Spraying

Spraying is better to produce early in the morning or in the evening, not under the scorching sun. Extract applying on a rainy day or in the presence of dew is ineffective. GROWO does not lose its properties if used with chemical fertilizers.

APPLICATION RESULTS:

  • Stimulates biological processes
  • Provides the plant with food throughout the growing season
  • Increases the sprouting and energy of seed germination
  • Seed impregnation stimulates root formation, they simultaneously rise 3-4 days earlier
  • The root system develops much faster and more powerful
  • Enhances the growth and development of plants
  • Increases immunity and adaptogenic properties
  • Promotes anti-stress resistance to environmental conditions, weather anomalies
  • The average mass of vegetables and their quantity increases, the yield increases up to 30%
  • Increases the content of vitamins, mono-saccharides, fiber
  • Improves the quality, taste of vegetable, nutritional value
  • Prolonged storage time
  • Inhibits the development of pathogenic micro-flora, diseases
  • The presence of nitrates, pesticides, and heavy metals in products decreases
  • Has a protective function against insect pests.

 SAFETY RULES:

  • Observe the recommended doses.
  • Do not spray in strong wind and heat.
  • After application to observe normal hygiene.
  • GROWO stored in the shade at a temperature of + 5°C to + 25°C.
  • GROWO is compatible with plants protection remedies.
  • GROWO is harmless to people and animals, useful soil flora and fauna.

THE VERMICOMPOST CAN BE USED:

The optimal rate of application of vermicompost in the soil is 10-20% by physical mass, depending on the structure and composition of this soil. The application rate of vermicompost depends on the quality and fertility of the soil. Therefore, in the soil with a low content of organic substances, the quantity of application of vermicompost should be increased and vice versa, if the organic content is high, the quantity of application is reduced.

  1. For growing seedlings: a mixture of vermicompost and soil in a ratio of 1: 3 (1 part vermicompost: 3 parts of soil). The mixture is filled in pots and sprouted seeds are planted.
  2. When planting: put 100 ml of vermicompost into the soil in the hole, mix with the soil, water well and plant the grown seedlings. After planting cucumber seedlings, the soil around the plants is desirable to be mulched with the addition of vermicompost in a layer of 1-2 cm.
  3. To treatment cucumbers: during the growing season after a  month, sprinkle on a vermicompost around plants or between rows at a rate of 300 ml / m2  of area, mix it with soil and water it.
  4. Subsequent treatment: after harvesting, under the autumn dig over again or in spring, when preparing the soil for planting, vermicompost is applied at the rate of 300-500 ml / m2  of area and buried shallowly 1-5 cm in the soil upper layer.
  5. In the 2nd and 3rd year of growing cucumbers, only carry out item 4. Vermicompost is a long-acting fertilizer and is biologically active in the soil for up to 5 years. Depending on the condition of the soil, in the 4th or 5th year, carry out points 2 and 3. Repeat with the same frequency.

APPLICATION RESULTS:

 For plants

 Same as when applying the extract.

 For soil

  • increases living soil (rhizosphere) microflora
  • increases soil nutrients (organic and inorganic)
  • increases soil ability to retain water, reduces moisture fluctuations
  • improves soil structure and looseness
  • promotes soil aeration
  • reduces soil erosion
  • reduces the removal of organic matter from the soil
  • has mechanical strength
  • increases the agronomic value of the soil
  • facilitates soil work-ability
  • eliminates incorrect processing results
  • protects groundwater from contamination with heavy metals and radionuclides

SECURITY MEASURES:

  • Observe the recommended doses.
  • After application to observe usual hygiene.
  • Compatible with plants protection remedies.
  • It is harmless to people and animals, useful soil flora and fauna.
