Part 4/7:

Cucumber beetles and squash vine borers are common pests that threaten cucumber crops. To protect against these nuisances, a few strategies can be employed:

  1. Choosing Burpless Varieties: These varieties are less likely to attract pests due to a lack of bitter compounds.

  2. Utilizing Insect Netting: Early in the growth cycle, covering young plants with insect netting protects them from pests until they can flower and attract pollinators.

  3. Applying Surround Kaolin Clay: Spraying cucumber plants with clay helps deter pests by making it harder for them to feed.
