Consider two groups of drugs with contrasting directions: to stimulate growth and, conversely, inhibit vegetation (retardants). This information will help grow quality seedlings and will be useful for flower growers
Use of drugs
Do not think that buying phytoregulators will solve all your problems. It is not a panacea for growing a beautiful and healthy plant. The performance of these substances is interconnected with a combination of different factors:
• compliance with the instructions for use, • consumption rates, • condition of the soil, • lack of nutrition, • watering.
It is important to remember that you should not overdose, as you will get a negative effect. Excess leads to the loss of decorativeness or the death of your pets.
Popular regulators
Let's talk only about approved drugs approved by the State Chemistry Commission under the leadership of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation. All types described below have been tested for efficacy and safety. Recommended for amateur and professional use. Some of them are registered as fertilizers. So, let's start our review of the Russian market.
Above ground vegetation stimulants
• Epibrassinolide, Epin-extra - analogs of brassinosteroids (phytohormones), powerful stimulants aimed at attracting nutrients. They increase germination, delay aging, enhance growth processes, and eliminate stress. Features: misuse does not work; recommended for use together with surfactants.
• Kresacin, Mival, Organosilicon compounds - optimize the properties of biomembranes. Develop resistance to temperature extremes. Pre-sowing seed treatment gives good results.
• Acetylene alcohol, Carvitol - exclusively for stimulating growth processes.
• Gibberellin is a multifunctional hormone that affects the rate of seed germination, prolongation of vegetation, increase in aboveground mass, and formation of shoots. In floriculture, it increases the size of the bud, lengthens the arrow. Cannot be used during the flowering period.
• Hiberrsib, Letto BIO - phytohormones designed to increase ovary and growth. Increase the productivity of fruit and berry and vegetable crops (cabbage, tomatoes, grapes, cucumbers, etc.). Make plants resistant to weather and disease. Safe for bees and animals.
• Ovary, Pollen, Bud, Gibbor-M have a powerful effect on fruit setting, germination of tubers and seeds. Improves the quality of the fruit. They are sold everywhere, are in the most active demand among gardeners.
• Humates (variants of combinations of humic acids with nutrients) - biologically active preparations. Effective at the beginning of the growing season. Used in foliar dressing.
• Cytodef allows you to control the structure of the leaf / crown. It activates photosynthesis, the growth of lateral buds, delays the aging of the vegetation zone.
Retardants that delay vegetation
• The athlete redistributes nutrients, helps to form compact seedlings of flower and vegetable crops. Eliminates stretching even when there is a lack of light. Strengthens root growth, strengthens the stem. Careful adherence to the manufacturer's instructions is required. Treatments begin in the 3-4 leaf phase and are repeated three times after 7-8 days. It is applied by watering or irrigation.
• Antifreeze - blocks the growth of the stem, shortens the length of internodes, activates lateral shoots. Indispensable for growing ornamental cereals, grain crops, eliminates the possibility of lodging.
• Chlormequatchloride, CCC (tsetse-tse) inhibit vegetation, create compactness of plants, promote deep roots. They act selectively, preliminary testing is required.
• Uniconazole, Kultar, Paclobutrazol, Triazole derivatives, Alar, B-9, succinic acid Dimethylhydrazide are not allowed, although they are very popular worldwide. They block the activity of growth hormones, create compact forms, and shorten the growing season.
Drugs that increase phytoimmunity
Many drugs can be used to activate immunity in conditions of adverse effects, to prevent the development of fungal diseases. For example, species such as Immunocytophyte, Prorotok, Arachidonic acid, El-1, Obereg activate well the defense system.
Raise phytoimmunity and increase root formation Zircon, Domotsvet, Hydroxycinnamic acid, Narcissus, Novosil, Silk, Larixin, Biosil, Extracts of triterpenic acids, Verva.
Now you are familiar with the most effective drugs. And you know how to enhance or suppress the growth of your plants, relieve stress and maintain their defenses.

Growth Stimulants Made Easy
Instead of fertilizing their gardens with not always safe chemistry, proponents of organic farming are choosing a different path. Namely, safe products that you can prepare yourself. Let's talk about how you can make your own plant growth stimulants. It's not as difficult as it might seem at first glance
DIY Plant Growth Stimulants
Good germination of seeds and friendly growth of plants delight every summer resident, but they are far from always really so, which is why sometimes you have to resort to using various growth stimulants. Store-bought growth stimulants are not cheap, and the quality of many of them leaves much to be desired. But almost every summer resident in the house will definitely have ingredients from which he can prepare such funds on his own
Popular Growth Stimulants
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?
