Pre-planting treatment of tubers is a well-known agrotechnical method, which is designed to protect the emerging plant from harmful objects (diseases and pests) and to promote its growth and development, especially in the initial growing season. Chemical disinfectants can easily cope with the protection function, and help to activate growth processes growth promoters based on components of natural origin, enriched with minerals.
It should also be noted that in the initial phases of growth, plants are extremely sensitive to the action of fungicides. It's no secret that pesticides have a depressing effect on seedlings, delay tuber germination and weaken the growth of the root system. In this case, the treatment of tubers before planting with physiologically active substances (phytohormones, polysaccharides and amino acids of plant origin) allows reduce stress load a seedling agent, affects the initial stages of the genetic program of the plant life cycle.
Providing comprehensive plant protection for a long period largely depends on the correct selection of the dressing agent, but it is equally important to use and suitable biostimulant... A stimulant with a balanced composition of phytohormones, amino acids and nutrients helps to reduce plant intoxication, ensures friendly germination of tubers and the formation of powerful root system, which, thanks to an improved diet, will allow the plant to lay more stems, which, in turn, will lead to an increase number of stolons, and this directly affects quantity and quality the yield obtained, and, accordingly, economic efficiency growing potatoes.
The Super-Agro company professionally distributes fertilizers, agrochemicals and biostimulants. Carrying out a large number of laboratory and field experiments on comparative testing of the effectiveness of the use of various fertilizers and biostimulants in crop cultivation technologies, the company's specialists include the best agrochemical tools for intensive farming in their line of proposals.
For pre-planting potato tubers, we recommend using a mixture of preparations Treant + Sprintalga (0,5 l / t) + Fulvumin (0,3 l / t) + Icarus Perfectstick (0,01 l / t) at a working solution consumption rate of 10 l / t. This scheme is ideal for starting processing of tubers through any planting machines, including professional planting complexes. UGLY.
Sprintalga (Biolchim, Italy) - professional organomineral root formation stimulator based on highly concentrated extracts (72%) of Macrocystis, Ascofillum nodosum and Sargassum algae. Thanks to its special formula, Sprintalga provides the plant with a large amount of biologically active components (betaines, alginic acid, trace elements and natural growth hormones) and amino acids that stimulate primary metabolism and optimize hormonal balance in young roots. Result: rapid formation and elongation of roots.
• Phytohormones auxin and cytokinin are responsible for growth processes (division, growth and differentiation of cells), accelerate the formation and growth of roots, increase metabolism.
• The polysaccharide alginic acid influences the process of moisture retention in the roots, which in turn improves the growth of the root system.
• Betaine is an important activator of metabolic processes. It activates the synthesis of phospholipids of cell membranes, has the ability to increase their permeability to water, enhance the photosynthetic activity of plants and increase resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses.
• Amino acids are involved in the biosynthesis of structural proteins, promote better assimilation of nutrients, increase plant stress resistance to abiotic stresses, fungal diseases and strengthen their immunity.
• Micro-, meso- and macroelements (N, P, K, Mg, S, Fe, Zn, B) in the organic form of the algal suspension are quickly assimilated, stimulate the primary metabolism of plants, optimize the diet in the root system.
All components of the root formation stimulator Sprintalg are in a strictly verified balance and mutually reinforce each other, therefore the drug is effective even at temperatures that are not optimal for the growth of the root system.
Fulvumin (Biolchim, Italy) - contains in its composition 28,8% of fulvic acids, as well as a complex of polysaccharides obtained from seaweed. The physiological activity of fulvic acids has been proven as antioxidants (elimination of plant intoxication with pesticides) and growth stimulants (due to the presence of functional groups similar to phytohormones). In addition, fulvic acids are the most aggressive fraction of humic substances, which has a dissolving effect on mineral compounds in the soil, converting them into plant-accessible form... Polysaccharides are a source of structural carbon, which is quickly incorporated into the metabolism of seedlings, increasing their strength of growth and resilience to unfavorable factors.
Icarus Perfectstick (ICAR, Lithuania) - professional activator of pesticides and agrochemicals, which contains 80% of siloxane modified with polyester. The addition of an activator to the working solution drastically affects its physical properties, reducing the surface tension force. Due to the use of the drug in a dosage of 10-20 ml per 100 l, the solution is crushed on nozzles into smaller droplets during spraying, which quickly spread over the treated surface, providing full coverage. An increase in the consumption rate up to 10 ml / 10 l (when processing planting material) provides not only uniform surface coverage, but also instant solution penetration deep into the tissues of seeds and tubers, thus the effectiveness of the use of fertilizers, stimulants and chemical remedies rises to a new level. At the same time, in itself, Perfectstick in the recommended dosages does not have a depressing effect on plants and serves silicon source (Si) - an important trace element that increases plant immunity and resistance to adverse environmental factors.
So, processing tubers before planting with a mixture SPRINTALGA + FULVUMIN + ICAR perfect stick is one of the most effective methods of stimulating the process of root formation, which contributes to a balanced nutrition of the plant organism at the juvenile stage of growth and development.
This agricultural reception provides:
- increasing the germination energy of sprouts and field germination of tubers;
- rapid growth and development of plants at the initial stages of ontogenesis;
- the optimal ratio between underground and aboveground plant biomass;
- improved absorption of water and nutrients by the root system;
- balanced mineral nutrition;
- increasing the immunity and resistance of plants to diseases;
- increasing resistance to stress;
- high economic effect from the application (increase in yield by 5-15%).
