    I first encountered cucumber anthracnose last year. Brown "blots" appeared on the edges of the leaves, which eventually turned into one continuous spot. Yellowish depressed spots also became noticeable on the fruits. Treatments with a serum solution did not help, and part of the cucumber plantation died. Fortunately, friends suggested how to slow down the development of the disease. On their advice, I removed buckets of water from the greenhouse and began to ventilate the structure well. I generously sprayed the soil with 1% Bordeaux liquid, then poured the roots and the base of the stems from the watering can. For each bush used about 1 liter of solution.

    When choosing seeds for cucumbers, it is imperative to pay attention to the type of these plants.
    If the planting will be in the greenhouse, then you should focus on hybrids. They tolerate heat and humidity better, and produce longer, well-branching whips, which is favorable for vertical cultivation. They also have a long fruiting period. Such modern cucumber hybrids are parthenocarpic, which do not require pollination, which is good for greenhouses, where beneficial insects practically do not fly. They successfully resist powdery mildew, downy mildew, root rot, olive spot.

    In the open field, bee-pollinated varieties and hybrids of cucumbers are usually grown. These more compact plants have coarser stems and stiffer leaves. When choosing a variety, you should pay attention to the resistance to downy mildew (peronosporosis). In the open field, this disease develops almost at lightning speed and is capable of destroying all plantings of cucumbers.
