Cucumber fruit has a unique form according to its type. In some cases; It can be pear-shaped, carrot-shaped, narrow in the middle, hook-shaped or curved. Except for the cucumbers that have a hook form or a curved appearance in general, they are 'deformed' and are definitely the product of a mistake.
In deformities due to nutrient deficiency,
If the carrot-shaped part near the branch gives a more swollen, tapering appearance, it is 'nitrogen deficiency'. The fruits become brittle and thinning of the fruit can also be observed.
If the pear-shaped part close to the branch is thinner and gives an excessively swollen appearance towards the bottom, it is 'potassium deficiency'.
If it has a narrow waist shape, the branch and tip are normal, and it gives the appearance of a thin waist towards the middle, it has become this way because of excessive heat.
In some cases, due to the lack of fertilization, its form is not correct, but if it gives an appearance in the forms we have just given, the problems are related to those situations.
If we look at other causes of deformed cucumbers,
Giving too much nitrogen-weighted fertilizer also causes deformities. Make sure the soil in which you will grow cucumbers is rich in content so that you will not need to add any fertilizer to begin with.
2 weeks before planting the seeds in the soil, dig a little where you will put the seeds and add plenty of organic matter such as compost and barnyard manure. This gives you a rich source of nutrients throughout the season rather than adding any other fertilizers. Feeding diluted fish emulsion during the season will help the plants to develop and produce continuously throughout the season. However, if any nutrient deficiency is observed, immediate intervention can be made.
Due to the lack of pollination, cucumbers may be out of shape.
