Rooting cuttings using honey. Spring protection of garden plants from pests and diseases

The ability to restore a part separated from a plant to a full-fledged organism is inherent in plants by nature. A wound (for example, breaking or cutting) stimulates the plant to produce hormones responsible for rooting. In some species and varieties this ability is very high, in others it is weakened. Special techniques that increase the root-forming ability of plants or chemicals help increase the chances of success.

What are some techniques to make rooting easier?

The rapid formation of roots is facilitated by various technical methods: ringing, etiolation, furrowing, cutting the bark near the buds by 2 mm, bending the branches.

Banding- this is removing a strip of bark 2-3 mm wide or constricting the selected shoot with soft, usually copper wire. As a result, the outflow of plastic substances is delayed, which contributes to better root formation on green cuttings. This
The technique is used on slightly lignified shoots of the current year’s growth 12-14 days before cutting.

Etiolation- tying the shoot with light-proof material - foil, paper or black non-woven material- approximately 2-3 weeks before cuttings. This leads to a redistribution of plastic substances in the shoot and an increase in rooting ability.

Furrowing- applying shallow longitudinal cuts (furrows) on 1-2 lower internodes and nodes. The flow of growth substances to the wounds increases, and this facilitates the development of roots.

Rooting stimulants

The formation of roots is regulated by growth substances contained in plants - auxins, carbohydrates and nitrogenous substances. Under the influence of growth regulators, the percentage of rooting cuttings, the number of roots, and the quality of plants increase,
rooting time is reduced. Some difficult-to-root crops can only be rooted using stimulants. But root stimulants are not a panacea. In some plants their use does not give a positive result.

The most well-known drugs for stimulating the rooting process of plants:

Heteroauxin (indoleacetic acid (IAA))- use from 50 to 200 mg/l

Kornevin (indolylbutyric acid (IBA))- 1 g per 1 liter of water is enough

Preparations based on vitamin B.

How to use stimulants correctly?

Processing should be done in the dark, at a temperature of +18...+22 °C. The cuttings are immersed in the solution so that the leaves do not touch the liquid. It is important to maintain the concentration of the solution and exposure time very precisely; exceeding them can lead to toxic effects. Even “Kornevin” is better used in solution and kept for 16-20 hours, rather than dusting cuttings with it.

The most common drugs:

"Kornevin". Powder based on indolylbutyric acid for dusting cuttings.
"Maxiclon". Gel (indolylbutyric acid + vitamin) is applied to sections of cuttings. Very effective drug, must be stored in a cool place.
"Ukorenit". Charcoal powder with indolylbutyric acid. Provides additional protection of cuttings from rotting due to the action of coal.
"Heteroauxin". Beta-indoleacetic acid tablets or powder are stored in a cool, dark place. The treatment is carried out by soaking the sections in a solution of the drug.
"Kornerost" (heteroauxin). Potassium salts of indolylacetic acid, soluble capsules. Method of use: soaking the ends of the cuttings in the solution for 10-16 hours.
"Krezacin." Triethanolammonium salt of orthocresoxyacetic acid, liquid in a dropper. Usage: soaking in solution for 10-12 hours.

Adaptogen drugs

A number of drugs indirectly increase the ability of plants to root by increasing their overall resistance to stress. They can be useful not only when rooting cuttings, but also when transplanting plants.

"Epin." Epibrassinocide, solution in ampoule or test tube. Method of use: soaking in the solution for 24 hours. It is advisable to use it together with Kornevin.
"Ribav Extra". L-alanine + L-glutamic acid solution, use - soaking cuttings in the solution for 18 hours.
The manufacturer recommends combined use with Kornevin.
"Zircon". A mixture of hydroxycinnamic acids, solution in an ampoule or test tube - spraying on the leaves.

Kornevin is a root formation stimulator based on indolylbutyric acid (IBA), belonging to the auxin group. Unlike heteroauxin (indoleacetic acid), the acidic “tail” of ICA is longer (on the left in the figure), which determines the longer and milder effect of root.

The commercial preparation Kornevina is a white, beige or pinkish powdery powder in the center. Packaging - in bags of 4-5 g for indoor gardening, cottages and small individual plots, or bags for use on large areas, on right.

Advantages and disadvantages

The main advantages of root wine are its affordability and the ability to prepare substitutes with your own hands, see below. The use of root for vegetative propagation cuttings will cost approx. 1 rub. per plant. Another important advantage of root is full compatibility with most agrochemicals and plant protection products. In case of doubt, checking Kornevin for compatibility with another drug is also simple: mix 50 ml of both working solutions. No precipitate has formed - compatible.

Disadvantages - specificity of action (also see below); Kornevin is not suitable for all crops. Also the dosage requirements, cooking methods, use and precautions when working with the drug are quite strict, see below. A slight excess of the dosage or misuse leads, on the contrary, to oppression and even death of the cutting. Therefore, kornevin as a root growth stimulator can only be recommended to fairly attentive and careful plant growers.

Precautionary measures

Kornevin is a hazard class 3 substance, i.e. moderately dangerous. Root powder is volatile, so you can only work with it on outdoors, balcony, veranda or indoors with supply and exhaust ventilation. When working with root, you need to use PPE: latex gloves, plastic apron or a cape (raincoat), petal respirator or dry gauze bandage, glasses. If the drug gets inside, you need to take activated carbon, 1 tablet per 12-15 kg of body weight, wash it down with 4-5 glasses of water and consult a doctor. In case of contact with skin, rinse immediately with plenty of water. In case of contact with eyes, rinse them thoroughly. clean water and consult a doctor.

Features of use

The drug root should be stored in the dark in a tightly closed glass container out of the reach of children and pets. The expiration date indicated on the container is valid only for unopened packaging; The working solution is stored for no more than 12 hours. Therefore, it is necessary to dilute Kornevin (see below) immediately before use and it is highly advisable to purchase the drug in quantities only for current processing.

Story

Charles Darwin first suggested that plants produce substances that affect phototropism - attraction to light; he called them auxins. With the development of biochemistry, it became clear that auxins are a special group of phytohormones and their effect on plants is not limited to phototropism. IMC was first isolated in Russia by N. N. Suvorov and his colleagues. The first industrial technology for the production of IMC was developed by Japanese researchers Mayima and Hoshino in 1925. Further, also in Russia, F. N. Stepanov proposed a much cheaper method for the industrial production of IMC.

Composition, action and dosage

In addition to IBA (0.5% of the dry weight of the substance, or 5 g per 1 kg of commercial powder), the root composition includes macro- and microelements that promote root formation: potassium, phosphorus, manganese and molybdenum. Kornevin is diluted simply: how many grams are in a bag, that’s what a regular one needs tap water. It is also possible to pollinate the roots with a dry preparation, see below. The action of the root is based on the formation of an influx over the cut/fracture - callus; Kornevin as a phytohormone is primarily a stool former. Dormant buds awakened in the callus send out roots much more intensively than on other parts of the cutting, which is clearly visible in Fig.

However, it is necessary to use root with caution. If the mother plant itself is well cut (the callus before root formation is small or not noticeable), the root will only delay rooting. Left on the trail. rice. it is clear that bean cuttings without IMC and root root take root and develop better. In this case, the rooting of strong cuttings from a strong healthy plant should be accelerated (if required) with heteroauxin, and the formation of roots on weak ones should be stimulated with epin.

Note: In general, we don’t particularly recommend Kornevin for cuttings herbaceous plants; in this case, its purpose is somewhat different, see below.

Cuttings of plants with moderate or weak rooting (roses, hibiscus, indoor citrus fruits and grapes, indoor pomegranate) together with Kornevin, as a rule, require the use of additional drugs; most often - specific to a given species. For example, rose cuttings root much better if root is used in combination with zircon, on the right in Fig. In any case, 3-7 days after planting a rooted cutting, you need to give it phosphorus-potassium fertilizer so that the rapidly growing roots “suck in” the callus, otherwise the seemingly well-established cutting may rot. Don’t rely on rich soil here; you need quickly absorbed mineral fertilizers.

About cuttings of conifers

Conifers are the most difficult to take cuttings. For them, phytohormones alone are not enough; a special cutting technique is needed. For example, how to propagate from cuttings at home blue spruce and juniper, see video:

Video: about propagation of blue spruce and juniper by cuttings

Cuttings of conifers make sense not only as saving costs on planting material. The species on the list were chosen because, grown from cuttings, these conifers can grow in pots in an apartment. Don't you feel sorry for the Christmas trees that are being cut down en masse? New Year? And so it will be your own, alive. Juniper not only exudes a large number of air-healthy phytoncides, but also produces “berries” (cones in a fleshy shell), which are widely used in pharmacopoeia, for enhancing drinks, etc.

Note, on a morbid topic: Juniper “berries” perfectly absorb fusel oils, while at the same time flavoring the alcohol.

Indications for use

So, based on the properties and characteristics of root, it is preferable to use it as a follow-up. cases:

For rooting cuttings, mainly lignified ones.
To stimulate root growth in seedlings.
To increase the yield of self-pollinating fruits and vegetables (for example, northern varieties of tomatoes) and fruit crops.
To stimulate the formation of children in ornamental bulbs.
To enlarge and strengthen tubers/rhizomes of ornamental (not food!) plants and increase their supply of nutrients for the purpose of more successful wintering or propagation by parts of tubers.
To improve the survival rate of scions.
To save dying valuable tuberous and rhizomatous plants, for example. orchids.

Note: It makes no sense to treat seeds with root to increase germination, as is sometimes advised. IBA does not have a noticeable beneficial effect on seeds.

Rooting

Root cuttings can be rooted dry and with a solution. The dry method (see below) is more effective, but requires greater consumption of the drug and carries a greater risk of rotting of the cuttings. It is used if cuttings of a given species do not take root with the solution. The dry method is applicable after attempting rooting with a solution, if callus formation does not occur 1-2 weeks after treatment. To diagnose, examine the cutting under a magnifying glass: if even tiny sagging is noticeable, continue rooting with the solution. Instructions for rooting tree cuttings using root solution look like the following. way:

Prepare a basic solution of root: 1 g of the drug per 1 liter of water, see above;
Cut a stalk with 3-4 leaves;
The bottom leaf is cut off (not torn off!) so that a piece of its petiole covers the leaf bud;
The slice is dried with filter paper;
The cuttings are dried in the shade at room temperature until juice flow stops (usually 1-4 hours);
The cutting is kept in a basic root solution for 10-15 minutes, immersed along the petiole of the cut leaf. The solution should not cover the leaf bud!
While the cuttings are standing in the solution, 5-7 tablets of activated carbon are crushed;
If rooting occurs in water, pour crushed coal into it. For rooting in the soil, coal powder is mixed with it. The substrate for rooting must be prepared in advance: calcined, treated with a biocide, etc. In both cases, a pinch of coal powder is left;
The cuttings are removed from the solution and, while still wet, “dipped” into crushed coal for disinfection. Coal powder is to plants what brilliant green, iodine or mercurochrome are to us;
The cuttings are placed/planted in a container for rooting;
If rooting is carried out in water and the roots are not visible, after a week and possibly another week, the tip of the cutting is examined under a magnifying glass (see above). If there are signs of callus formation (point swellings like awakening buds), the cuttings are planted in a peat pot with greenhouse soil and watered a little (1-3 tablespoons) every day. You can cover it with a jar, which is removed in the morning and evening for 10-20 minutes for ventilation.

Dry

To treat with dry root, instead of soaking in the solution according to step 6, the cutting is dipped in root powder down to the remainder of the last leaf (do not pollinate the bud!), see Fig. Further everything is according to the instructions, but pp. 1 and 9 are excluded.

For seedlings

To enhance root growth, it is advisable to treat seedlings with root in places north of the black soil strip in cool years, when planting in the ground has to be postponed so that the plants have time to develop properly during the shortened growing season due to the increased work of the roots. In favorable years and in warm places, the root will only “delay” the received nutrients from green mass to the roots, which will at least lead to a decrease in yield. In these cases, the seedlings are watered with a basic root solution of 20-50 ml (1-2 tbsp) per plant 1-2 weeks after the first picking and 3-5 days before planting.

Kornevin and harvest

To increase the fruiting of fruits and vegetables, berries and fruit crops, a basic root solution is used for garden crops and shrubs and double concentration (2 g of the drug) per 1 liter of water for trees. Weather conditions and restrictions on stimulating yield with root roots, depending on weather conditions, are the same as for seedlings, see above. Watering is carried out in the evening of a warm day after the leaves of trees and bushes have fully unfolded and at the beginning of budding of plants in the garden. Trees and shrubs should be completely healthy. Watering rates:

Adult (consistently fruiting tree) - 2-3 liters in a well-moistened circle around the trunk.
A young tree is the same, half the size.
Adult bush - 0.35-0.5 liters per bush.
A young bush is half as large.
Garden crops - 0.1-0.2 liters of base solution per plant (!).

Note: It is not advisable to water edible bulbs, root vegetables and potatoes with root crops; the harvest will be skinny and “hairy”.

Flowers

Ornamental bulbous, tuberous and rhizomatous plants are prepared with the help of roots for successful wintering also in unfavorable years (see above). On the contrary, it is favorable for vegetative propagation by underground parts. Treatment – soaking the planting material for 2-3 hours in a base solution. The bulbs are immersed in the solution at the bottom (dry pollination is highly undesirable); Tubers and rhizomes are soaked completely submerged. After soaking, the treated planting material is rinsed in clean water and immediately disembarked.

Note: For the same time, garden grape cuttings are soaked in a basic solution.

For vaccinations

An increase in the survival rate of root grafts is possible in favorable years if the grafting is done by budding. In this case, the calla-forming properties of IMC are used. The grafting, before bandaging (applying a bandage), is sprinkled with root. If the scion has taken root, the remainder of the leaf cutting will bulge and fall off after 1-3 weeks. Suddenly it wrinkled, withered and pressed against the trunk (branch) of the rootstock - the grafting was unsuccessful.

Saving the Lost

Reanimation of withering indoor flowers with root is most often used for orchids that have become ill in too dry and warm rooms, but is also effective for domestic seasonal plants depleted by improper maintenance, for example, gloxinia and cyclamens. In the latter case, untimely grown leaves and roots are removed from the tuber/rhizome, the remainder is allowed to rest, as required by the rules of the culture of this species (a dormant period is forced), and then the planting material is soaked as described above. The revival of dying orchids with rotten roots with a root solution is carried out as follows. instructions:

The plant is carefully removed from the substrate;
Cleaned and washed root system, as in preparation for transplantation;
Remove old, weak and diseased leaves, leaving only young and healthy ones;
The roots are inspected, all rotten ones are removed, “grabbing” at least 1.5-2 cm of a healthy root;
If the roots are completely rotten, remove them all, leaving only the bottom of the plant and 1-2 of the freshest leaves;
The orchid is kept for 2-3 hours in a warm (24-27 degrees) dark place to dry the sections;
The bottom or root system is soaked in a base solution, as when rooting cuttings (see above), but its temperature should be 2-3 degrees above room temperature;
The plant is transferred to a container with water at the same temperature (slightly warmer than room temperature) and activated carbon at the rate of 1 tablet per 1 liter of water. Water should not cover the leaf axils or get into them!
The container with the flower is wrapped in light-proof material and transferred to a warm, bright place, but not in direct sunlight;
The air around the plant is moistened 2-3 times a day with a spray bottle that produces a misty stream;
Every day, add water at a temperature also 2-3 degrees above room temperature to replace what has evaporated;
If within 2-2.5 months. young roots appeared, resuscitation was successful, the patient will live. The plant can be planted in a suitable substrate.

Note: In the same way, you can bring back to life accidentally broken plants with fragile stems, for example. dracaena Treat the upper part with the crown with root.

Substitutes

In many cases, for rooting cuttings (except, perhaps, coniferous ones), it is possible to replace purchased rootstock with biostimulants of root formation from natural products containing IBA:

A teaspoon of honey is diluted in a liter of water. The cuttings are kept in the solution for 10-12 hours, then planted in the ground. The remainder of the solution is poured into the root hole.
100 g baker's yeast diluted in 1 liter warm water. The cuttings are soaked in the solution for a day and planted in place.

The percentage of rooted cuttings after this treatment is lower than from root, but there is no danger of burning the cuttings with the drug. But observations of the process of vegetative propagation will provide experience that will allow a successful transition to the use of Kornevin and other strong biostimulants.

To increase the likelihood of rooting, to accelerate the formation of roots on cuttings (especially those that are difficult to root), to obtain a more powerful root system, it is recommended to treat the cuttings before planting with growth stimulants (phytohormones), which promote the beneficial accumulation of organic substances at the site of root formation. For successful cuttings of woody plants, growth stimulants are often used:
- heteroauxin (fine crystalline powder of white, pink or yellowish color);
- beta-indolylbutyric acid (outwardly similar to heteroauxin);
- beta-indolylacetic acid and alpha-naphthylacetic acid (white or grayish powders).

Growth stimulants have great biological activity, so they are used in very small concentrations (according to instructions). For treating cuttings with solutions growth stimulants use glass, porcelain or enamel dishes. Treatment of cuttings with growth stimulants is carried out in a darkened room at a temperature no higher than 20-23 degrees (higher temperatures are dangerous, and at 28-30 degrees poisoning of the cuttings occurs).

Three methods of stimulating treatment of cuttings are most often used:
- immersion of the lower ends of the cuttings in aqueous solutions of stimulants (solutions of low, medium or high concentration are prepared);
- immersing the lower ends of the cuttings in alcohol solutions of stimulants (used to treat cuttings of plants that cannot remain in water for a long time, as well as for propagating rare and valuable plants);
- treatment of the lower ends of the cuttings with dry growth powder (a mixture of a growth stimulator with talc or crushed charcoal, usually at the rate of 1-30 mg of stimulant per 1 g of talc or coal).

Root formation of cuttings is further enhanced by treating their lower ends before planting with a mixture of a growth stimulator with vitamin C (ascorbic acid) or vitamin B1 (thiamine). Vitamins also contribute to faster growth of shoots in rooted cuttings (however, the use of vitamins alone to improve root formation and better growth of shoots in cuttings, without using growth stimulants together with vitamins, does not give a positive effect). When preparing aqueous or alcoholic solutions of a growth stimulator, when preparing growth powder, one of the above-mentioned vitamins is added to them, after dissolving its powder in a small amount of water. After preparing an alcohol solution of the stimulant, a vitamin is added to it in the following concentration: vitamin C - 20-50 mg per 1 ml of 50% alcohol, vitamin B1 - 2-20 mg. When preparing growth powder, dissolved vitamin is added to it at the rate of: vitamin C - 50-100 mg per 1 g of talc or coal, vitamin B1 - 5-10 mg per 1 g.

A freshly prepared growth stimulator solution along with a vitamin solution added to it is used immediately after cutting the cuttings; the depth of immersion in the growth stimulator solution depends on the length of the cuttings and the degree of their lignification. Green cuttings immerse in the solution 2-4 cm (no deeper than a third of the length) and keep in it for 10 hours to a day (according to the instructions); The processing time depends on the concentration of the solution and the type of stimulant. The short length and the presence of leaves in green cuttings contribute to enhanced absorption of the stimulant by the cuttings along with water. Lignified cuttings are immersed in the solution up to half or two-thirds of the length of the cutting.

In growth powder prepared in advance for dry treatment of cuttings before planting, the content of a growth stimulant can vary within significant limits (depending on the desired activity of the stimulant). To prepare growth powder, the stimulator is first dissolved in water, and then this aqueous solution is thoroughly mixed with talc or charcoal and a vitamin solution. The resulting mixture is dried in a dark place at a temperature of 50-70 degrees; The powder is stored in a tightly closed opaque container. To treat the cutting, its lower part is moistened with water, dusted with growth powder and immediately planted.

Amateur gardeners often use Epin, Kornevin, Sodium Humate, Zircon, and aloe juice when rooting cuttings as growth stimulants. Seeds, corms and cuttings are also soaked in growth stimulants before planting. perennial plants. The Epin solution has proven itself very well as a natural bioregulator when used for spraying to maintain plant immunity during the rooting process, before and after picking seedlings and under stressful plant growing conditions.

Reproduction fruit trees and shrubs from cuttings is not always easy. If currant or gooseberry cuttings take root quickly and independently, then this is a real feat.

In particular difficult cases gardeners are calling for help from root stimulants. These biologically active substances, harmless to the ecology of the garden, stimulate the formation and growth of roots in cuttings, improve the survival rate of seedlings and further contribute to the development of a powerful root system of the plant.

All root growth stimulants can be divided into two large groups: industrial (they are sold in stores and cost money) and homemade (they are easy to make at home from improvised materials).

Don’t think that store-bought corn stimulants are terrible chemicals. There is nothing harmful in them; such preparations may contain indolyl-3-acetic or indolyl-3-butyric acid, naphthylacetic acid, ascorbic acid, and thiamine. Some root stimulants are extracts and extracts from plant materials. However, making good stimulating solutions yourself is easy, and if there is no difference, is it worth paying more?

We will tell you about the most effective and popular options from both the first and second groups. It’s up to you to decide which root formation stimulator to choose.

Heteroauxin or Cornerost

Heteroauxin or Kornerost contain β-indoleacetic acid, a phytohormone that stimulates active cell division, which, in turn, promotes rapid growth.

Consumption rate: 1 tablet (0.1 g) dissolves in 2.5 liters of water. The cuttings are soaked in the resulting solution for 6 hours.

Kornevin

Kornevin contains indolylbutyric acid, which promotes the appearance of callus, that is, living cells on the cut of the cutting. Once in the soil, indolylbutyric acid is converted into heteroauxin, causing vigorous root growth.

Kornevin can be used in the form of a powder or an aqueous solution. Gently dust the bottom of the cutting with the powder using a brush, and to prepare the solution, dissolve 1 gram of the drug in a liter of water. Cuttings or bulbs are soaked in the resulting solution for 6 hours.

Radifarm

Radifarm is a complex of plant extracts containing polysaccharides, steroids, glucosides, amino acids and betaine, additionally enriched with vitamins and microelements. It is recommended for use when the drug reduces stress from transferring a plant to other conditions, ensures rapid growth of roots and leaves, and promotes normal plant development.

Consumption rate: 1-2 drops per liter of water. In the resulting solution, cuttings or roots of seedlings are soaked for 5-30 minutes. The same solution can be used to water and spray plants.

succinic acid

Succinic acid is sold in pharmacies. It is usually used to combat fatigue and increase vital energy in people, but it also has a very beneficial effect on plants. In solution succinic acid You can not only soak cuttings and roots, they also recommend spraying plants to enhance shoot growth or watering seedlings after picking.

Consumption rate: 1 tablet per liter of water. Cuttings or roots are kept in the solution for 4-6 hours.

Ribav extra

A completely safe biological product is a 65% alcohol solution of metabolic products mycorrhizal fungi. It also contains amino acids, polysaccharides, saturated and unsaturated fatty acids.

Ribav Extra not only enhances the formation of roots in cuttings, seedlings and seedlings, but also increases the germination of seeds, helps weakened plants return to normal, increases immunity to diseases and pests, and makes life easier for plants during unfavorable climatic periods (drought, frost, temperature fluctuations).

Consumption rate: 2 drops per liter of water. It is better to use immediately after preparation - the solution cannot be stored. Soaking time for cuttings and roots is 20-60 minutes. The prepared solution can be sprayed and watered on plants.

Zircon

Zircon, a preparation based on the Echinacea purpurea plant, contains esters based on hydroxycinnamic acids dissolved in alcohol. It is a biological root former and immunostimulant for garden crops. It also promotes flowering, protects plants from exposure heavy metals, pesticides and other hazardous substances, normalizes the balance at the “internal level” of the plant.

The application rate depends on the crop and purpose of use and varies from four drops per liter to one milliliter per liter of water. To root cuttings, it is recommended to dissolve 4 drops per liter or half a liter of water and keep the cuttings in the solution for 12-14 hours. Zircon solution can be used for spraying and watering. During storage, the solution loses its properties; it must be used immediately.

Epin-extra

A very popular growth stimulator among gardeners, it is also used to enhance root formation. Epin-extra is a solution of epibrassinolide in alcohol 0.025 g/l. This is a synthesized analogue of the phytohormone brassinolide, which promotes active cell division. Its effect on plants is similar to Zircon.

Consumption rate: 1 ml. for 5 liters of water. Cuttings, roots and seeds are soaked in Epin solution for 2-4 hours.

The industry does not sleep and produces more and more new preparations for accelerated root formation for every taste and budget: Bio Roots, Charkor, Kornevit, Clonfix, BN Roots, RootJuice, Amulet, MaxiClon, Root Complex, Ukorenit, Raykat start, Root Stimulator, KorneSil , Root Super, etc. But on by and large the principles of their action are similar to those listed above.

And in we will talk about root formation stimulants “ homemade”, which work no worse than store-bought ones and are available to everyone.

We wish you success and great harvests!

When spring comes every person who has personal plot or cottage, wants to plant a large number of new plants. Florists who grow flowers also strive to get beautiful buds and fruits. Biological stimulants help root small cuttings. They can be bought in specialized stores or made at home.

Features of the use of phytohormones

Phytohormones are substances produced by plants themselves. Their different groups are responsible for individual stages. For example, auxins help form the root system, as well as evenly transfer beneficial and nutritional elements. There are also gibberellins, which are responsible for the health of buds and fruits. To ensure intensive shoot growth, the use of cytokinins is necessary.

Many people dreamed of taking part in leading these processes, but they did not have all the necessary skills and knowledge. But scientists have developed special phytohormones. Therefore, special stimulants can now be used.

After a thorough study of the structure, as well as all the features, scientists were able to develop substitutes based on synthetic substances. They are similarly divided into several groups according to the principles of their influence on plant organisms. These are the best stimulants for the development of plant roots, which will help speed up the process of flowering and fruit production.

Why are synthetic stimulants needed?

Fertilizers such as heteroauxin and phytohormone are becoming increasingly popular today. These drugs were developed a very long time ago, so now they are considered the best. After sowing the seeds, they must be carefully processed to ensure maximum a short time the plants have sprouted.

The seedlings tolerate transplantation into the ground well. open type. If you additionally use heteroauxin, the cuttings will root well in the ground. Plant fertilizers such as Kornevin and Etamon are in high demand. They are applied under the root part and help to grow faster.

How to improve productivity?
We are constantly receiving letters in which amateur gardeners are worried that due to the cold summer this year there will be a poor harvest of potatoes, tomatoes, cucumbers, and other vegetables. Last year we published TIPS on this matter. But unfortunately, many did not listen, but some still applied. Here is a report from our reader, we would like to recommend plant growth biostimulants that will help increase the yield by up to 50-70%.

Stimulants: application scheme

Experts have developed a separate scheme for use biological agents to accelerate plant growth during seedling cultivation. It is worth highlighting the following main stages:

The first thing you need to do is soak the seeds in a solution to get quick and friendly germination.
It is recommended to regularly spray with Epion.
After planting in the ground, it is necessary to spill a solution of heteroauxin to ensure rapid growth of the rhizome.
"Etamon" is the best sprayer for plants, which accelerates rapid and abundant flowering.
Just before flowering, the plants are additionally treated with “Bud”.

How to quickly grow indoor flower seedlings?

Growth stimulants have maximum biological activity, so they are usually used in low concentrations. In this case, flower growers should take into account the attached instructions. To process cuttings, it is important to use only separate dishes. The best option- This is a glass, porcelain or enamel bowl. The processing process is carried out in darkened rooms with temperature conditions no more than 25 degrees Celsius. If you do not adhere to this rule, you can poison the cuttings.

Biological plant growth stimulants help to obtain healthy seedlings, but you need to take into account a few simple rules:

First thing is cutting required amount cuttings for planting.
The treatment procedure should take about ten hours in the prepared heteroauxin solution.
Planting in a greenhouse.
Several times a week it is necessary to spray with Zircon or Etamon solutions.

The presented preparations help to speed up the process of formation of an already formed plant several times.

How to properly prepare a root growth enhancer at home?

Preparations for growth at home are quite easy and simple to prepare. To do this you need to use Bee Honey and combine it with aloe juice.

Honey is a natural component that has a beneficial effect on the growth and strengthening of plant roots. To prepare a useful fertilizer, you need to take half a teaspoon of honey and dilute it with two glasses of water. After complete dissolution, you can begin to use.

For efficient processing cuttings must be soaked for five hours. After this, the bulbs are ready for planting. Aloe-based preparations are also highly nutritious and very beneficial. Before cooking, you need to squeeze the juice from the leaves. A tablespoon of juice is thoroughly mixed with a glass of water. After this, it must be removed to a cool, dark place and tightly closed with a lid.

After a week, the solution is diluted boiled water to obtain a preparation with a capacity of about five liters. After this, gardeners will be able to begin processing plants and cuttings in particular. The duration of soaking is no more than six hours. After washing, you can begin planting them in open ground.

Features of the use of fertilizers that are sold in stores

On modern market can be found great amount drugs that promise to speed up and strengthen cuttings. A dry fertilizer called Agricola is becoming increasingly popular today. He she long time retains its beneficial features thanks to the release form. Before use, it must be diluted in water according to the attached instructions.

Before use, the soil is thoroughly watered.
You should not feed plants that have recently been transplanted from one place to another.
It is not recommended to fertilize flowers that are in a state of complete dormancy.
