I have started getting brown patches on my cucumbers can anyone help?

Question

I think it may be over watering and too much nitrogen in the soil!! Any Ideas?

Answer 1

Cucumbers are very suceptable to many fungal diseases..Especially if you water them from over head wetting the leaves... Water them from underneath..al;so cucumbers should not be given nitrogen at all after they start flowering or getting small buds beginning to flower on them..YTheyy need a high phospherous fertilizer..Powdery mildew is the most common fungus ..You need to go to a garden center and get a copper based fungicide aND   spray on them to kill the fungi..
