Plant growth stimulants

• For indoor plant pest control, see Insecticides
• Means of combating diseases of indoor plants see Fungicides

Growth stimulants and preventive agents are used in different cases:

• to stimulate plant growth,
• to stimulate budding and flowering,
• to maintain weakened plants,
• for plants affected by adverse factors (for example, watering with cold water or cold draft),
• for plants affected by pests and diseases,
• for the prevention of pests and diseases,
• to increase the general immunity of plants and the like.

All growth stimulants and preventive drugs are not harmful to plants and are used either at the first suspicion of "unhealthy" plants or are conducted in courses - in the spring-summer period to stimulate growth and at any time of the year to prevent diseases and pests.

Phytohormones - plant growth stimulants - epin, zircon, amulet, root which phytohormone to choose, instructions for preparing a working solution.

Growth Regulator Athlete

Plant growth regulator. It slows down the growth of the aerial part, causes shortening and thickening of the stem, increases the width of the leaves. In plants, nutrient redistribution occurs. Most of the nutrients go to the roots, causing their enhanced growth. Application on houseplants - in the form of a solution for spraying or watering under the root. Dilute the contents of the ampoule (1.5 mL) to 1 L of water. The manufacturer strongly recommends observing the number of treatments specified in the instructions, since premature termination of treatments contributes to strong plant growth.

Athlete is more suitable for growing seedlings, since it actively stimulates root growth. It accelerates the formation of the first inflorescences and the number of ovaries in them. Increases yield by 20-30%.

For seedlings, 1.5 ml of "Athlete" is diluted per 1 liter of water and the plant is watered in phase 3-4 of real leaves, usually 1 treatment is enough.

Baikal EM-1

A preparation containing several cultures of beneficial microorganisms. They are based on lactic acid bacteria, which suppress putrefactive microflora. Its functions: restoring soil fertility, improving its structure, and thereby increasing the level of germination and yield; providing frost resistance of plants. To prepare a working solution, dilute Baikal-EM in a ratio of 1:1000 (2 caps or 1 tablespoons per bucket of water) and water the plants 1 times a week. Depending on the condition of the soil and plants, you can water the solution more often or vice versa less often. the preparation is used to prepare fertilizer, but is not fertilizer by itself. To prepare fertilizer, Baikal-em is diluted in a proportion of 1:100 (1/2 cup per bucket of water), this solution is evenly moistened with compost base (manure, sawdust, tops or any other organic matter). Everything is thoroughly mixed and covered with polyethylene film. After 2-3 weeks, compost can be used. Product description and instructions.

Do not expect that preventive measures will help in all cases, without exception. Firstly, you need to strictly follow the instructions and correctly compose the solution, as well as use only fresh solutions. Secondly, it all depends on how much everything is already running. There are cases when the disease is already progressing, but it is not immediately noticeable, and then no means can help.

During treatment with plant growth promotion and prophylactic agents, you cannot use utensils, smoke, drink and eat. Treatment is carried out in the absence of children, animals, and if there is an aquarium nearby, then it is tightly closed and opened only when the treated plants dry. For those who suffer from allergies or skin eczema, it is better to carry out processing in gloves and a gauze bandage. Do not forget to look at the hazard class of the drug used. After finishing work, hands, face and all used equipment must also be washed with soap and water. The drugs must be stored in a dry room, in a place inaccessible to children and animals, and protected from fire.

In case of accidental ingestion of a human drug, drink several glasses of water, induce vomiting and immediately consult a doctor.

As preventive drugs for suspected disease or pests. It makes sense to try and not chemicals. These are infusions of garlic, onions, tobacco, yarrow and other medicinal herbs, as well as pollination with sulfur powder.
