Effective Pest Control for Cucumbers

Plant cucumber varieties that are resistant to common pests and diseases such as cucumber beetles and powdery mildew. Place row covers or netting over the plants to keep pests away. Regularly inspect the foliage for any signs of infestation, such as holes or webbing. If needed, use organic pest control methods like hand-picking insects, applying neem oil, or introducing beneficial insects. Water consistently, keeping the soil moist but not waterlogged. Harvest cucumbers when they are firm and dark green for the best flavor!
