Fungal diseases of cucumbers

In addition to basic cucumber care, it is necessary to learn how to identify diseases and treat them on time. The pumpkin family is often exposed to fungal infections:
• Powdery mildew.
• Peronosporosis.
• Ascochitosis.
• Cladosporiosis.

Powdery mildew
The disease manifests itself in the form of a plaque resembling flour in appearance. The spots begin to gradually dry out and turn yellow. This means that the plant is sick. Powdery mildew likes to "attack" young plants in gloomy, wet weather.
Prevention: it is required to observe crop rotation, remove old organic matter in time, disinfect the ground, maintain a temperature of twenty-three degrees Celsius in the greenhouse, and cover the vines with a film. When the first signs of the disease appear, it is recommended to spray the plants with a fungicide.

Peronosporosis
Peronosporosis appears on the leaves of vegetables after watering with a cold liquid, lack of potassium, increased soil moisture, and a sharp temperature drop. It appears as yellowish spots that turn brown.
This disease appears in the summer season. It is spread by fungal spores during wind. This can harm fruits, other vegetables, and shrubs.
Prevention: disinfection of seeds and seedlings during planting is necessary, annual digging of the earth and disinfection with copper sulfate or potassium permanganate, watering with warm water. It is recommended to remove and burn infected plants.

Ascochitosis
This disease occurs quite often, destroying the entire plant without affecting the seedlings. It manifests itself in the form of gray spots on the leaves, darkening and spreading to the cucumber vines. With ascochitosis, it is contraindicated to eat vegetables.
Prevention: before planting, treat the seeds with special means. It is necessary to disinfect the ground with formalin, treat the cucumber vines with a Bordeaux mixture, and the stems with chalk and copper sulfate.

Cladosporiosis
Cladosporiosis is manifested by grayish spots on the leaves. Cladosporiosis occurs during a sudden temperature drop.
Prevention: change the planting site, do not water with cold water, ventilate the greenhouse, remove old vines. When the first signs of the disease appear, it is recommended to stop watering the ground. It is necessary to spray the ground with a Bordeaux mixture or any other preparation that can remove the fungal disease.
