Tying cucumbers

In order to stimulate the growth of the main stem and increase the yield, it is recommended to pinch and blind the plant stem. Patching is the removal of all lateral shoots formed in the knots of the lashes, leaving the ovaries formed there, and in the second, the removal of both the ovaries and stepsons. It is recommended to dazzle only the first 3-4 nodes, so that young plants are not depleted, and in the remaining nodes only stepchildren are removed.
