Growth stimulator for plants: types of activators and hormones, the best drugs

Growth stimulants for plants have become frequently used agricultural preparations. They accelerate the growth and development of crops, help the formation of buds and ovaries, improve the appearance and quality of fruits. Consider how growth stimulants work, their types and classification, when and how to apply according to the instructions, security measures.

How plant growth promoters work

The basis of growth biostimulants is plant hormones. In nature, they are produced by the plants themselves, but in this case they are obtained synthetically.Stimulants are used to treat crops before planting and during the growing season, as well as during the period when fruits ripen.

Biostimulants act in a complex way:

• help form the root system;
• strengthen growth;
• stimulate the laying of more buds;
• make bloom more lush;
• help plants form and maintain ovaries;
• increase the size, weight and volume of fruits;
• restore plants after disease or pest damage.

Growth stimulants are used in conjunction with microfertilizers and protection products. With the right dosages of all drugs, the overall effect is enhanced.

Classification and types

Growth stimulants are divided into 2 groups: organic and synthetic. Despite their different origins, they act in the same way: they activate the physiological processes occurring in plants, accelerate growth processes, promote abundant flowering, and improve fruiting.

Auxins

These are phytohormones with a wide range of action. Stimulate the development of roots and rhizomes, the growth of the number of cells of the cambial layer. Accelerate the growth and ripening of fruits.

"Heteroauxin"

Stimulates the formation and growth of roots in seedlings, tubers, bulbs, seedlings. It is produced in capsules and tablets of 0.1 g. The material (tubers and bulbs) is soaked in the solution for a day, the roots of seedlings, seedlings - for 3-4 hours, green cuttings - for 10-16, lignified - for 16-20 hours. Dosage: 1 or 2 tablets per 10 liters for cuttings, for vegetables, trees, seedlings - 1-2 tab.for 2 l.

"Kornevin" and "Root"

Preparations are used in the form of a solution and in dry form. In the first case, the material is soaked in a solution (dissolve 1 g in 1 liter), in the second case, it is powdered before planting - for 25-50 pcs. cuttings spend 5 g. After 10 days, already planted plants are re-watered. The duration of the effect of the stimulant is long - 20-60 days.

Gibberellins

Phytohormones that promote cell growth and division, therefore, stimulate the growth of stems and lashes. They also stimulate germination and flowering, set, prevent leaf aging, their action is similar to that of auxins.

Gibberellin

Plants are sprayed with a solution at different periods of their growing season. Preparation procedure: dissolve 0.3 g of the stimulant in 6 ml of alcohol, mix the solution with 2-6 liters of water.Spray fruit, strawberries, grapes when they bloom and after the formation of the ovary. After processing, you can expect fruits to ripen 1.5-2 weeks earlier, and yields will almost double.

Gibbersib

The stimulant is used on tomatoes, cabbage, cucumbers, potatoes. Sprayed 2-3 times during flowering to increase productivity (up to 20%) and reduce the duration of fruit ripening, reduce morbidity. When spraying grape bushes at a dose of 0.9-1.2 kg/ha, the yield increases by 30-40%.

Gibberross

Wheat, tomato, garlic, potato, cucumber, cabbage, alfalfa, onion, eggplant, lettuce, pepper, pumpkin, peas, beans, apple and grapes are sprayed. The processing increases the yield, the mass of fruits and grains, they ripen faster, the taste improves. Plants better resist diseases, cold or, conversely, heat.

Gibbor-M

Growth promoter is used on grapes, legumes, vegetables, potatoes and cabbage. Sprayed in different phases of development to form and preserve ovaries, resistance to diseases and bad weather, accelerate ripening, increase the number and weight of fruits and berries.

Ovary

Applied to vegetables and legumes grown in garden beds and in greenhouse conditions. Allows you to stimulate the setting, and then the growth of grain and fruits. Strengthens the defenses of plants, increases the early and total yield by a third, the fruits ripen a week ahead of schedule.

"Bud"

Due to the stimulation of set and prevention of shedding, the drug increases the volume of the crop by 20-37%, speeds up the ripening for a week, improves the characteristics of the fruits, they become tastier, larger, contain more vitamins and sugars.The plants themselves acquire resistance to drought and cold, recover better after them, seedlings and seedlings take root faster, seeds germinate faster.

Tomatoton

Growth stimulator for tomatoes grown in beds and greenhouses. Works effectively on tomatoes of any variety. Like other means of similar action, it stimulates the ovary, reduces its fall. Tomatoes ripen faster, the first crop increases by 50-100%, and its total volume - by 24-50%.

Cytokinins

Hormones that stimulate the transport of nutrients into the cell, regulate cell division, maturation of chloroplasts, the growth of lateral roots and additional buds. Slow down the natural aging of cells.

Cytokinin paste

Contains phytohormones and vitamins, awakens dormant buds, stimulates the formation of new ones, the germination of the peduncle and the laying of "children". Used on indoor flowers and ornamental plants to promote flowering and reproduction.

Keikigrow Plus

This is a Canadian-made pasta. It is expensive, has a small volume, but it is justified by its effectiveness. It is applied pointwise to areas of the plant that do not develop. Accelerates the metabolism at these points, stimulates dormant buds, prevents the death of shoots and leaves.

"Cytodef"

Restores plants after stress, stabilizes protein synthesis, increases resistance to overdrying of the soil. Normalizes phytosynthesis during cold weather, promotes the accumulation of carbohydrates, thereby increasing the level of frost resistance.

Brassins or brassinosteroids

Hormones make seedlings thicker and taller, increase the size of above-ground parts, including fruits, stop the aging of leaves and their fall. Strengthens plants, making them less susceptible to weather conditions.

Epin

Provides rapid germination, rooting of seedlings and seedlings after picking or transplanting. Increases resistance to cold, bacterial infections and fungi. Restores weakened and old plants, stimulating the growth of side shoots. Reduces the level of heavy metals and nitrates in fruits, reduces the time of their ripening.

"Epin Extra"

Has a similar action and purpose, but the content of hormones in it is much less. However, this does not affect the effectiveness of the drug.

When is it used?

You can treat plants with growth stimulants at the stage of seeds, seedlings, seedlings or at any stage of the growing season, when necessary. The activator solution is applied to the surface by spraying or under the root when watering.Stimulants are added to hydroponic fluids to speed up growth and development.

Instructions for use

Most agricultural preparations with hormones are available in liquid form. The concentrate is diluted in water in a certain dosage. Spray plants from ordinary sprayers.

Because stimulants contain vegetable matter, they do not have a long shelf life. After its expiration, the use of drugs is not recommended. The finished solution is not stored for longer than 1 day, as it quickly loses its beneficial effect.

Safety precautions

Growth enhancers are not as toxic as pesticides, they belong to agricultural products of the 4th hazard class. This means that poisoning with them is infrequent, but you still need to work with them using personal protective equipment. It is worth wearing rubber household gloves, a respirator and goggles to protect your face and hands from possible contact with drugs.When dissolving the powder and processing, do not smoke, eat or drink. After the work is completed, it is imperative to wash your face and hands with soap.

Means can be dangerous for the inhabitants of reservoirs and rivers, so you should refrain from using them if the site is located near water sources, fish farms.

Growth stimulants are a special group of agrochemical preparations that have a stimulating effect on the growth and development of crops. In addition to normalizing or regulating growth processes, it has a supporting and restoring effect after damage or stress. Improves set, fruit quality and lengthens the shelf life of the harvested crop.

Growth stimulants are not fertilizers or protective preparations, using them, one cannot do without specialized tools. But they are good helpers when used in conjunction with fertilizers and pesticides.In addition, you need to timely and properly care for the plants, provide them with complete care. Together, all means and agricultural practices will give the long-awaited result in the form of a rich harvest.
