Currently, among agricultural professionals, and ordinary amateur gardeners, it has become very popular to use all kinds of plant growth stimulants. What kind of miracle means are they? Where did they come from and what are their advantages?
Basic definitions
Growth stimulants are substances that have high biological activity and enhance the division of plant cells, and significantly accelerate its growth. By the nature of their origin, it is customary to divide them into natural growth stimulants and synthetic ones.
We all know that most of the processes in our body are controlled by special substances - hormones. They significantly affect metabolic processes, growth and reproduction processes. Plants are endowed with similar phytohormones, which also have an effect on all important life processes in the body.
The raw material for natural growth stimulants will be donor plants: bacteria, algae, fungi. In addition, scientists have managed to obtain synthetic substances that can affect the work of phytohormones and the growth of plants in general. Using the same stimulant substance can give completely different results. That is why it is so important to follow the instructions and not exceed the specified standards.
Purpose of application
Thanks to the use of such stimulants, plants begin to develop quite quickly. Their resistance to all kinds of fluctuations in natural conditions, mechanical damage, and also to various diseases increases. Stimulants of organic origin have a positive effect on the composition of the soil, improving its fertility. The use of such substances helps to increase yields without the use of fertilizers and pesticides. Most often, summer residents use stimulant substances for germinating seeds and accelerating seedling growth.
Popular growth stimulants
Quite popular, the most famous, stimulant is "Heteroauxin". It was obtained synthetically under laboratory conditions. Treatment of plants with such a means enhances the formation of the phytohormone auxin, which in turn has a positive effect on root formation. In addition, "Heteroauxin" is capable of increasing seed germination and enhances the ability to take root in young cuttings. It is introduced in the form of an aqueous solution under the root.
The drug called "Kornevin" also has good recommendations. Its action is similar to the remedy that we talked about above, however, it is longer in time. This allows plants to more easily adapt and take root in new conditions without significant stress and sudden leaps in development. Kornevin is introduced in the same way at the root.
Among the new drugs, one can note the stimulant Etamon, which can improve the functioning of the root system at the level of its cells. As a result, the plant is significantly transformed and begins to develop faster. The drug can be successfully used both indoors and outdoors. A greater effect is observed when it is used together with mineral fertilizers.
The growth stimulator "Zircon" has a double effect: it affects the growth and development of the root system, and also increases the resistance of plants to fungal diseases. In addition, the drug has proven itself in home crop production in order to treat damaged as well as diseased plants, including as an adaptogen in the presence of unfavorable conditions. Zircon water solution is used for watering, spraying and soaking plants.
In order to avoid obtaining a negative effect, it is better to use all drugs of this type, relying on the attached instructions. In this case, planting in your country house will certainly delight you with excellent growth and a good harvest.
