Milk with iodine for diseases and for feeding cucumbers - my reviews
SPRAYING CUCUMBERS WITH MILK WITH IODINE - REVIEWS
My neighbor praised his way of increasing the yield of cucumbers in every way. He feeds the plants with milk with iodine and believes that such a fertilizer enriches the plants with useful substances, helps them resist diseases, so that their leaves do not turn yellow.
That year, I tried this remedy advertised by a neighbor.
Although the summer was hot, my cucumbers really did well, and the harvest was decent.
And the most important thing was that the plants were not damaged by any misfortune. So I really liked the product I used.
I share his recipe with readers: to process cucumbers, you need to mix 1 liter of fresh milk, 30 drops of iodine, 10 liters of water, 20 g of laundry soap (grate or use liquid soap).
Spraying cucumbers with milk with iodine must be done in the evening, after sunset, when the heat subsides.
If you feed the plants during the day in clear weather, the leaves can get sunburned.

The second half of summer is a dangerous period for the onset of many fungal and bacterial infections. At every step, advice is full of spraying and applying milk or whey with iodine on a sheet. In fact, this is a big risk - such a method, on the contrary, can cause an outbreak of infection. Iodine in a meager concentration below 1% is useless.
And milk contains amino acids and provokes the disease. Any useful top dressing - succinic acid, amino acids, minerals, whey, humates, milk - are good only for healthy plants, according to a healthy leaf. They feed them, give strength, building material and energy. But all this love and microorganisms. And if the first signs of diseases have begun, any of these dressings will benefit the infection and give it the strength to reproduce. You can make things worse! Therefore, if you find the onset of the disease, stop feeding on the sheet, everything is only under the root. According to the sheet, you can only give drugs to combat diseases and pests.

I saw vials of iodine hung in the neighbors' greenhouse. Why is this needed?

- There is a myth that iodine vapor will help prevent late blight. But the benefits for plants are doubtful, there is no documented evidence. The active substance (iodine) is in a bottle and does not get on the plants. The alcohol that evaporates from the container does not contain iodine. Therefore, use the iodine solution for its intended purpose, that is, to disinfect damage to the skin. To protect plants from pests and diseases, there are specialized and more effective preparations.

Nettle dressing for cucumbers
As soon as the first shoots of cucumbers appear, I feed them for the first time. Then I do this every two weeks - throughout the entire period of fruiting. Fertilizer grows here, next to the beds - this is nettle.
I grind the leaves and stems, pour hot water over it and leave it to ferment in the sun for a week. I try to mix more often. You can fill the nettle with cold water, but then the fermentation process will take longer. I filter the fermented infusion, then add 10 liters of this infusion to every 2 liters of water. And I water the cucumbers. Fertilized - and poured clean water.
Cucumber beds can also be sprayed, but then the solution needs to be made weaker - 1 liter per 20 liters of water.
Fertilizer is stored (closed) well, almost does not lose nutritional value. Therefore, the remaining concentrated solution can be filtered and poured into eggplants or plastic canisters.
