Use of phytosporine
Phytosporin-M refers to systemic preparations capable of spreading throughout the vascular system of plants. Its basis is a spore culture, the products of its life (produces fungicidal oligopeptides) inhibits the reproduction of pathogens of fungal and bacterial plant diseases:
- alternariosis,
- American powdery mildew,
- bacteriosis,
- bacterial spotting (black rot),
- bacterial cancer,
- white spotting (septoriosis),
- brown rust,
- root rot,
- monolyal burn,
- powdery mildew,
- scab,
- peronosporosis (powdery mildew),
- penicelous rot,
- rust,
- risoctoniosis,
- snow mold,
- dry and wet rot of tubers,
- tracheomycosis (tracheomycosis wilt),
- phytophthora,
- fomosis,
- fusarium rot,
- cercosporosis, etc.
And also rot during storage of tubers and bulbs: white rot, gray rot, black dry rot, fruit rot, dry fusarium rot, etc. Phytosporin is not a panacea for all diseases of horticultural crops and indoor (tropical) flowers, its effectiveness may differ in different plants and, depending on the disease, ranges from 65 to 95%. These are very good indicators, given that the drug is low-toxic, and can be safely used even in an apartment.
The great advantage of this drug is the preservation of live cultures in a wide temperature range from -50 to + 40 ° C. The biopreparation retains its properties even after freezing and thawing. Under unfavorable conditions for it, the bacterial culture of Bacillus subtilis goes into a spore state, life is suspended, but as soon as the conditions are restored (for example, after defrosting), the bacteria go into an active state, inhibiting pathogenic fungi and bacteria. In addition, the biofungicide Fitosporin-M can be enriched with humic bioactive fertilizer GUMI (this should be indicated on the package). Humic acids are needed only for roots, you do not need to add humic acids to spray vegetables and fruits, including before storage.
The main advantage of phytosporin-M is the ability to use it at any time at any stage of plant development - during vegetation, flowering, fruiting. The manufacturer guarantees the safety of the crop even on the day of treatment with phytosporin. However, there is a significant drawback: the hay bacillus bacterium (any of its strains) dies in bright sunlight. If you want to apply phytosporine spraying for diseases, do it exclusively in cloudy weather, or at the end of the day, when it is already getting dark. Also rukodelie.net/plants reminds: do not forget to wash fruits and vegetables with hot water, and berries - cold running and boiled, before eating and cooking.
If you need a fungicide to protect the garden, vegetable garden and home flowers from the group of biologics, pay attention to another drug of this group - Trichophyte.
Phytosporin instruction
Phytosporin is used for treating seeds, cuttings, preparing land before sowing and planting, for spraying vegetative and fruiting plants. Treatments can be carried out in any weather, but after rains, the protective film formed from spraying is partially washed off, so repeated spraying is necessary. The frequency is 7-14 days depending on the weather. During prolonged prolonged rains, it makes sense to spray 2-3 hours before the rain or immediately after the rain. If Fitosporin is used for irrigation, then the frequency of treatments is 1 month for vegetables and 2 times a month for fruit and berry trees and shrubs. Indoor plants 1 once a month.
Phytosporin can be sprayed on fruit trees and shrubs from scab 5 g of powder per 10 liters of water, spray as much as you take from the stairs along the crown. It is best to combine spraying phytosporin with a growth stimulant - zircon 1 ml per 10 liters of water. Spray the first time on a spread of leaves, the second when the ovary is slightly smaller than a quail egg. Watering fruit trees is rather not justified - too much solution needs to be prepared and not everything will be absorbed by the roots.
Phytosporin powder
Dilute 1-2 hours before processing.
- For soaking tubers and bulbs: 10 g of powder per 500 ml of water, spray with this solution, enough for 20 kg of processing of the pre-planting material.
- For soaking seeds for 2 hours before planting: 1.5 g of powder (0.5 teaspoon) per 100 ml of water.
- For soaking the root system for the prevention and treatment of rot, before planting seedlings: 10 g of Fitosporin for 5 liters of water, soak for 1-2 hours. After planting or transplanting, you can pour this solution over the soil (like ordinary irrigation).
- For the prevention and treatment of fungal and bacterial diseases, leaf spraying:
- potatoes - 10 g of powder per 5 liters of water, again after 10-14 days,
- cabbage - 6 g per 10 liters of water, again after 2-3 weeks,
- tomatoes, peppers, eggplants - 5 g per 10 liters of water, again after 10-14 days,
- cucumbers - 10 g per 5 liters of water, spray three times with an interval of 10-15 days.
- For spraying indoor and garden flowers: as a prophylaxis, 1.5 g (1/2 teaspoons) per 2 liters of water; for the treatment of diseased flowers 1.5 g per 1 liter of water.
- To prepare greenhouses and soil before planting vegetables and berries: 5 g of powder per 10 liters of water spray the surfaces of greenhouses and greenhouses, water the soil, a week before planting.
Phytosporin paste
Fitosporin-M paste contains GUMI, so nothing needs to be added to it. Preparation of solution concentrate: dilute 100 g of phytosporin-m paste with 200 mL of water, or any other amount in a ratio of 1:2. The resulting concentrated solution can be stored, and before use, diluted again with water at the rate of:
- Tubers and bulbs before storage or planting, spraying at the rate of 3 tbsp. tablespoons of solution concentrate per 1 glass of water.
- For soaking seeds of vegetables, garden and indoor flowers - 2 drops of concentrated solution per half glass of water, hold for 2 hours.
- For rooted cuttings: 4 drops of working solution per 1 cup of water (200 ml).
- Spraying on a sheet of vegetables, berries, fruit trees and flowers for the prevention and treatment of various diseases - 3 teaspoons of concentrate per 10 liters of water or 4 drops of concentrate per 200 ml of water, watering and spraying.
- Indoor plants: 10 drops per 1 liter of water for spraying and 15 drops per 1 liter of water for watering the soil in pots.
Phytosporin fluid
Liquid phytosporin (in the finished solution) is intended primarily for spraying vegetative plants on a sheet (including indoor ones), as well as for spraying vegetables, fruits, berries, tubers before laying for storage. At the same time, the manufacturer offers the same solution in different versions: you can see a bottle with the inscription "Fitosporin - M Biosecurity for flowers and houseplants," "Fitosporin - M Golden Autumn," Fitosporin - M Storage" - these are identical solutions in terms of the number of beneficial bacteria and apply the same: at the rate of 10 drops per 1 glass of water (200 ml). You can root cuttings in the same solution, or soak the seeds.
Phytosporin-M Resuscitator
Concentrate of bacterial spores Bacillus subtilis, the preparation contains amino acids, antibiotics of natural origin, vitamins, enzymes that contribute to the dissolution of the cell walls of pathogenic fungi and bacteria. The drug helps restore plant growth due to disease, as well as from the effects of adverse factors affected by waterlogging, from sunburn, frozen plants. Can be combined with growth stimulants.
Fitosporin-Super Universal
Phytosporin-Super Universal is a concentrated form that requires dilution and preliminary activation, but is more economical and efficient.
The main differences from conventional phytosporine are:
1. Composition and concentration
| Parameter | Fitosporin-M | Fitosporin-Super (Universal) |
|---|---|---|
| Basis | Bacillus subtilis spores and living cells | Same, but in a more concentrated form |
| In addition | Often contains humates, trace elements, adhesives | Pure concentrate (often without additives) |
2. Form of issue
- Fitosporin-M:
- Ready paste, liquid or powder.
- Can be bred immediately for use.
- Fitosporin-Super:
- Only powder or dense paste, which must be pre-activated (insist 1-2 hours in water).
- This is a concentrate for preparing a mother liquor.
How to breed "Fitosporin-Super Universal" (powder or paste)
Preparation of mother liquor (concentrate) - if you have powder or thick paste:
- 1 teaspoon (3-5 g) of powder or paste per 200 ml of water (boiled or settled).
- Stir and insist for 1-2 hours (as long as possible).
- The resulting concentrate is stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks (in a dark place).
Working solutions (diluted from stock) - seed treatment:
- 1 drop of mother liquor + 100 mL of water.
- Soak the seeds for 1-2 hours.
Seedling and root treatment before planting:
- 1 tablespoon of mother liquor + 1 liter of water.
- Spray or soak the roots for 1 hour.
Sheet spraying (prevention and treatment):
- 1-2 tablespoons of mother liquor + 1 liter of water.
- Spray plants 1 once every 1-2 weeks.
Root watering (to protect the root system):
- 3 tablespoons of mother liquor + 10 liters of water.
- Water 1-2 times a month.
Phytosporine Consumption Rates
-
At the
- beginning of the disease, dilute the drug in the ratio of 1 part of the concentrate to 20 parts of water, thoroughly spray the plants. Again after 10 days.
- With a strong degree of development of the disease, dilute the 1 part of the concentrate on the 2 part of the water. Again after 10 days.
The flow rate of the prepared solution is 1 liter per 10 square meters. m
Can plants be sprayed with phytosporin during fruit ripening
Phytosporin can be sprayed on any plant during fruiting and flowering, including tomatoes, cucumbers, grapes, strawberries and strawberries, raspberries. Berries can be eaten on the same day.
Scientists have proven that strains of Bacillus subtilis bacteria are not harmful to humans and animals. For doubters, we can refer to the fact that the US Food and Drug Administration has assigned them the status of GRAS (generally regarded as safe) - safe organisms. Moreover, some strains of Bacillus subtilis Bacillus subtilis (other than in the composition of phytosporin) are active substances of some drugs, for example, Biosporin. It is intended to treat intestinal infections, including in children. Although the strains of bacteria in human and plant medicines are different, phytosporin can be considered absolutely safe.
Phytosporine for tomatoes and cucumbers
Phytosporin is especially popular for the treatment of tomatoes and cucumbers. Unfortunately, these vegetables have a lot of diseases, and the work invested in growing seedlings, preparing greenhouses, refueling with fertilizers is so great that it is especially offensive to lose crops. Chemical means of combating diseases can persist in the tissues of fruits for up to 30 days, spraying tomatoes and cucumbers during flowering with pesticides is unacceptable - if the pesticide gets on the flower, it can penetrate the ovary and persist until the fruit ripens. Although, in general, it is possible to spray tomatoes during flowering and fruiting: root feeding, for example, with boric acid, and, of course, prophylaxis of phytophthora with phytosporine.
The protection of plants from phytophthora and other diseases should be carried out at different stages: soaking seeds, when planting seedlings, but do not forget that during growth in greenhouses and greenhouses, the microclimate greatly contributes to the development of disease pathogens. Ordinary fungicides can be used 1-2 times per season, and phytosporin-M, although it has a weaker effect, rather only suppresses fungal and bacterial infections, but it is simply indispensable in organic farming - you can spray and water the soil with phytosporin as much patience as possible.
The bacterium Bacillus subtilis is stable in a wide range of temperatures, but the optimal conditions for its development are 20-25 ° C. Tomatoes and cucumbers must be sprayed with a solution prepared from 5 g of phytosporin-M per 10 liters of water, the maximum protection is given by repeated spraying after 5-7 days. But it is not the concentrations of the solution that are important - you can measure everything based on the color of the solution - put phytosporin (paste, liquid or powder) so much that you get a color like tea; it is important to spray in the evening, it is better when it is already getting dark - the bacterium quickly dies in the light. If you have tomatoes and cucumbers planted in open ground, do not spray in cold weather!
You can water tomatoes and cucumbers with phytosporine solution in any weather, but the effect is somewhat slower. Therefore, it is necessary to water from phytophthora and other diseases at least once every five days.
Fitosporin compatibility
The drug is compatible with many chemical pesticides: for example, with insecticides - Decis, Actara, Fitoverm; fungicides - Stroby, Quadris, Tilt premium, Fundazol, Vitivax 200. With fertilizers and growth regulators (Zircon, Ribav Extra, Epin, Obereg, Plantafol); antibiotic drugs - Fitolavin. It is important not to combine with solutions having an alkaline reaction! It should be noted that some versions of Fitosporin-M contain HUMI (humic acids), for example, Fitosporin paste. In this case, it is impractical to combine them with growth stimulants.
In addition, the manufacturer produces a special Fitosporin for specific vegetables, for example, "Fitosporin-M cucumber" or "Fitosporin-M tomatoes" - their difference is that they contain trace elements (each different) that are more necessary for a specific garden culture. Therefore, it is advisable not to replace them on vegetables, if there is no specific name, use Fitosporin-M universal, and not combine spraying with mineral fertilizers so that there is no overabundance of some minerals.
Toxicity
Phytosporine has hazard class 4 for humans (can cause slight irritation of the mucous membrane upon contact with a drug or solution) and hazard class 3 for bees (border protection zone for bees 4-5 km). Not phytotoxic, harmless to beneficial insects.
Security measures
Treat using gloves, avoid smoking, drinking, eating while working. If it gets on the skin or mucous membranes, wash it off with water, if it gets into the digestive tract, drink 3-4 glasses of water, induce vomiting, take several tablets of activated carbon.
Store the drug in a dry room, optimally from -20 to + 30 ° C, separately from food and medicine, in places inaccessible to children and pets. Shelf life 4 years. Storage of the working solution is permissible in moderate temperatures, in a place protected from the sun.
