Growth stimulants for plants
Content:
Plant growth stimulants help plants develop much faster. Deliver excellent growth results. And also to develop immunity and phytoharmonics, which also have the best effect on the state of the plant. And on its endurance against various diseases and parasites. Today we can see that more and more synthetic products are on sale that perfectly stimulate plant growth.
What are plant hormones?
In general, in order to delve deeper into the question of stimulants, it is necessary to point out that plants produce phytoharmonics, which belong to four main groups:
- auxins are responsible for the development of the root system. And also for the distribution of useful trace elements and components directly throughout the plant. And not just one part of it;
- gibberellins - these phytoharmonics are aimed at stimulating seed germination. Subsequent flowering and, of course, the ovary. As well as the correct formation of fruits;
- cytokinins - allow cells to divide successfully. Stimulates the growth of the kidneys;
- brassines. Thanks to these phytoharmonics, the plant's immune system functions normally. They become more resistant to external influences.
But, as a rule, phytoharmones alone are not always enough for a plant. And they need additional stimulation through other means. Today there are a very large number of them. Each stimulant has its own characteristics. As well as specific forms of impact on the plant. Synthetic substitutes have become mandatory for many crops. And they will be discussed in this article.
Common plant growth stimulants
Heteroauxin - This growth promoter is perhaps one of the most popular of all other names. Nevertheless, despite all the advantages, this stimulant also has its drawback. It consists in the fact that the drug is sold in the form of soluble tablets. And for dissolution, a large amount of water is needed. Therefore, it is necessary to spend a lot of time to prepare the solution. And this can sometimes stop the gardener.
Kornevin and Root are two analogs of Heteroauxin, which are not available in the form of tablets. And in the form of a powder. They are more toxic. Therefore, when processing plants, it is necessary to use equipment to protect the mucous membranes. One way or another, the advantage of the drug is that it is quite convenient to powder the places of cuttings with a powder before rooting. And the drug is delivered much faster to the necessary parts of the plant. Which allows you to see the effect faster.
Gibberelin group drugs
Horticultural crops can be sprayed with a weak aqueous solution of Gibberrelin. During completely different growing seasons.
Gibbersib - most often this growth stimulator is used for processing and spraying tomato crops. And also cucumbers, potatoes, cabbage and grapes. It is popular precisely because it has such a wide spectrum of action. And can be applied to a variety of horticultural and horticultural crops. At the same time, being equally effective for them.
Gibberross - This drug is distinguished by the fact that it is practically non-toxic. And it has only a faint smell. Suitable for treating absolutely all fruit and vegetable crops with a solution based on it. And also cereals.
Gibbor-M - this tool is intended not only to increase the yield of the plant, but also to improve the general condition of the crop, to strengthen its immunity against a wide variety of diseases and viruses that may threaten it.
We also highlight such growth stimulants as Ovary. The processing of the plant is carried out before the buds begin to form on it. The bud is used after the ovaries have appeared on the plant. Tomato is intended for tomato crops. And also for nightshades - peppers and eggplants. Processing is carried out in relation to already flowering crops. Due to this, the process of ovary and fruit ripening is noticeably accelerated. Which is undoubtedly a very big advantage.
Plant growth stimulants for the kidneys
Several very effective remedies are intended to stimulate the growth of the kidneys, as well as to accelerate cell division. The first of these is Cytokinin Paste. Using a toothpick in small quantities, it is recommended to apply it to the just made cut. Or at the place where the bud should be located on the plant.
Keykigrow plus is a Canadian analogue of cytokinin paste. In fact, the application and action there is similar. Therefore, it makes no sense to clarify the details here. As a rule, drugs are excellently effective. But their price category may not appeal to everyone. Because many gardeners find them too expensive.
The next drug is Cytodef. It is focused on stimulating the germination of planting material, seeds. And also to enhance the growth of shoots, the speed of their development. Thanks to these effects, fruit trees become even more productive. And also Cytodef can be used not as a separate agent, but also as an additive to pesticides.
Broad spectrum plant growth stimulants
Epin is a tool that helps the plant quickly adapt to new conditions, take root in them. Especially if the plant has been transplanted from one place to another. Epin stimulates the plant. Strengthens his immune system. And also makes it more resistant to various pests that can threaten the plant. Usually in Epin it is recommended to soak the roots, seeds and cuttings. Because the drug should directly affect the planting material. At the same time, the drug is not distinguished by the highest level of toxicity. And this is also its advantage. But nevertheless, when working with the drug, it is imperative to use protection - glasses, a mask, gloves.
Epin Extra is another regulator and stimulant. Has a very wide spectrum of action. Epin Extra aims to boost the plant's immunity. Its resistance to stress. And also to restore those plants that are weakened or already have a fairly old age. And therefore they need additional support. The solution should be applied to plants by spraying. As a rule, every 7-10 days exactly until the plant is fully restored and regenerated. You cannot give up processing halfway through, change your concentration. Otherwise, the solution and the remedy itself will simply lose their effect.
Instructions for the use of drugs
Of course, in order to provide the plant with all possible help and support, not to harm it, you must always carefully read the instructions for using the drugs. Each product has its own dosage. For different plants and crops, their own means and concentrations are also applied. And this should also be borne in mind.Otherwise, with his manipulations, the gardener will not only not make the plant better, but rather the opposite - he will cause even more harm to it.
Growth stimulants are usually used in accordance with the following recommendations:
- the seeds are soaked in the solution. This will help them to ascend quickly and almost simultaneously;
- seedlings and seedlings must be sprayed periodically. Then they bloom much faster and more abundantly. And this will guarantee that the yield will be at a high level;
- when transplanting plants into the ground, it is necessary to treat them with stimulating solutions. Then the plant will take root much faster. And it will also experience much less stress when transplanting and adapting to a new place;
- just before flowering, it is necessary to use a stimulant that focuses on enhanced fruit formation. Then a lot more ovaries are formed on the plant. And, accordingly, the harvest will also be much higher. And this is one of the main goals of absolutely any gardener.
Plant growth stimulants at home
Sometimes the gardener simply does not have the opportunity to purchase chemicals that stimulate plant growth. Therefore, some solutions can be prepared at home. As a rule, they will be just as effective. And at the same time they are completely natural. For example, you can prepare an infusion that consists of young shoots of nettles. As a rule, such a solution has an excellent effect on the root formation of the plant. You can also use yeast, bee honey, aloe juice as a growth stimulant. All this is divorced with water in the required proportions. And it is used to process a wide variety of crops.
Plant growth regulators
Of course, in addition to growth stimulants, there are also so-called growth regulators. They do not accelerate growth, but they perfectly regulate it. They help some parts of the plant to develop a little faster than other parts of the same plant. The first drug in this category is the Athlete. Most often, gardeners use this tool so that the seedlings do not outgrow and unnecessarily stretch. Because this can have a rather negative effect on further development and fruiting. The action of the drug is such that it evenly penetrates into various parts of the plant. And also to the root system. Thanks to this, the plant blooms much faster. And it gives a very rich harvest.
Cultar - This growth regulator is used for most horticultural crops. Thanks to the action of the drug, a large number of strong kidneys are laid. Shoots will decrease their growth. Therefore, the gardener may not prune the plant as often as he might need to. This increases the plant's immunity. Its resistance to dangerous and common diseases.
In particular, if the plant is treated with this preparation, then it will not be infected with scab or powdery mildew. Although these diseases can be found in almost every culture. The first spraying is best done about 21-28 days after the plant has flowered. During the season, 3 to 4 treatments should be performed. The interval between them is from 3 to 4 weeks. It all depends on the general state of the culture, on its needs. And also from belonging to a particular species.
Other regulators
TUR, Chlorcholine chloride or CCC - this drug is also aimed at slightly slowing down the growth of the plant. Usually, the agent is used for local treatment of potted crops or those plants that are grown in containers, and should not grow more than the sizes that are stated, otherwise they will need to be transplanted, but not all plants survive transplantation quite favorably.
Alar - this tool is used by gardeners in order to prevent premature shedding of fruits, the drug is especially useful for processing pome crops.Usually the garden is cultivated about one month after flowering has finished.
Multifunctional plant growth regulators
There is also a separate group of so-called multifunctional controls. They are not only able to regulate the growth of crops. But they can also strengthen the plant as a whole. And also to strengthen its immunity. But there are actually some disadvantages as well. One of them is that plants can react quite negatively to treatment. And in this case, the reaction, as a rule, is rather difficult to predict.
For example, a drug called Zircon. It is able to sufficiently increase the resistance of the culture to various fungi or viral diseases. And also to extend the flowering period of the plant. From this, immunity increases. The yield is also increasing. Therefore, the tool can be called quite multifunctional. Today it acts as one of the most popular drugs on the growth stimulants market in our country.
Plant growth stimulants - immunomodulators
Mival, Mival-Argo, Energia-M. These drugs belong to the same group, which include silicon. It is thanks to this component that the respiration of the plant can be regulated. And also its growth (to speed up this process). Basically, preparations are recommended to process potato tubers before planting. And also spray tomatoes and peppers, eggplants with the concentrate. The fruits ripen much faster. And the total volume of the harvest is also able to increase by almost 1.5-2 times. Which is a very good indicator.
Furolan is a product that was created on the basis of biological substances. They can be obtained from sunflower crops. The tool is able to retain the most useful substances in the plant. And then increase their resistance to stress, frost resistance. And also, in general, general resistance to a variety of diseases that can affect them.
Ambiol is another immunomodulator that is used to process crops exactly until they are planted in open ground. The solution allows the plant to better adapt to frost, as well as to survive sudden temperature changes, given that for many plants this can turn into real stress, and Ambiol can slightly mitigate these processes.
Also, among such drugs, Krasnodar-1, Obereg, Prorostok, El-1, Immunocyphyte, Karvitol and Lariksin, Krezatsin and Albit can be distinguished. The principle of action of the drugs is the same, just like the result. The difference lies only in the declared required concentration, and also in the fact that not every drug can be suitable for absolutely all cultures. So before using them, you must read the instructions as carefully as possible. And only in this case, the remedy can give the plant additional strength, and not harm it.
Conclusion
We have considered a huge number of funds that are growth stimulants. They are used in relation to a large number of cultures, but it is extremely important to be careful about the concentrations stated in the instructions. Also, the gardener should remember about safety precautions, since many of these products can cause toxic harm to the body. Thus, today, in this case, gardening has gone far ahead, and out of all the variety of means, the gardener will definitely find exactly the one that will most of all meet his requirements and expectations in terms of results and additional effects. It should also be remembered that there are drugs that not only stimulate growth, but also vice versa - regulate it so that some crops do not grow to excessive size.
