Zircon for tomato seedlings. Recommendations for the care of conifers Slow death of a plant after an overdose of zircon

There are many drugs on the horticultural market, called immunomodulators, or phytohormones, and an inexperienced grower may think that these remedies save plants from all diseases, pests and other misfortunes.

Indeed, quite often, with all imaginable problems in growing indoor flowers, it is advised to treat them with drugs such as phytohormones. What kind of drugs are these, are they so effective, how do they differ and what are they for?

To begin with, these are all growth regulators. They do not destroy pests, do not act on pathogens - fungi, bacteria and viruses. They are strong biostimulants, i.e. increase immunity, stimulate rooting of cuttings, increase germination, accelerate seed germination, reduce the negative impact of adverse external factors (cold snap or drought), stimulate the formation of ovaries, accelerate fruit ripening. All this really only takes place if it is not violated. general principles leaving.

If you regularly overdry or periodically fill the plant, if it stands on a cold windowsill, in contact with the cold glass of the window, no drugs, including phytohormones (growth regulators), will help.

Epin

Epin is a domestic version of the Japanese natural bioregulator and epibrassinolide stimulator JRDC-694. Plant growth regulator, anti-stress adaptogen, immune system stimulator.

The active substance of epin - epibrassinolide, belongs to the class of brassinosteroids, natural plant hormones. The first representative of this class, brassinolide, was obtained by American scientists in 1979 from the pollen of Brassica napus L. (rapeseed). To date, more than 40 brassinosteroids have been isolated from various plant sources. Plants contain very small amounts of brassinosteroids, for example 4 mg of pure brassinolide was isolated from 40 kg of pollen. Synthetic epibrassinolide is absolutely identical to the natural plant hormone (according to the Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus).

Epin is compatible with other drugs. Thus, the effectiveness of epin has been established when applied together with pesticides used for dressing seed material and treating plants to protect against fungal diseases. Joint application allows to reduce the consumption rate of pesticides by 2 times.

Dilution of epin preparations, pesticides and fertilizers can be carried out in a common irrigation container.

Epin's action

The disadvantages of the drug are that the active substance is destroyed by light, as well as in an alkaline environment, which should be remembered when diluting with fertilizers and in tap water. Acidification of water with citric acid can be a way out. Spraying should be carried out by placing the pot with the plant in a dark bag (garbage bag for 60-120 liters) or overnight for the drug to be effective.

Approximately since the beginning of 2003, not “epin” has been produced, but “epin-extra”. It's not just a name change. In epine-extra, the active ingredient epibrassinolide of a higher quality is used. Experts advise buying drugs with the name "epin-extra", although the presence of this drug on the market for about 3 years, a sufficient period for the appearance of counterfeits.

Epin improves seed germination, rooting of cuttings and seedlings, increases resistance to a number of diseases (late blight, peronosporosis, scab, bacteriosis and fusarium, etc.), helps to reduce toxins, heavy metals, and excess nitrates in plant tissues. Spraying vegetative plants increases the number of ovaries, prevents them from falling off, accelerates the ripening of fruits, and increases resistance to diseases.

Epin is an environmentally friendly product. Preparations based on the active ingredient epin - epibrassinolide are used in fish farming, poultry farming and beekeeping. The drug is safe for fish, does not pollute soil, ground and surface waters, and is safe for beneficial insects and bees.

In addition to "epin-extra" on sale, you can also find a drug called "Epibrassinolide", which is similar in composition to epin.

Epin - instructions for use

• 1 ml of the preparation for 5 liters of water when spraying vegetative plants;
• 1 ml of the drug for 2 liters of water when soaking the bulbs (for a day);
• 1 ml of the drug per 1 liter of water when soaking flower seeds (for a day).

Multiplicity of treatments

• with preventive spraying once a month
• if the plant gets into unfavorable conditions (too dry air, lack of light, etc.), spraying every 7-10 days, until recovery or while the plant is in these conditions.

Zircon

Natural immunomodulator, root former, inducer of flowering and disease resistance.

Like epin, zircon is obtained from plant materials. According to its composition, it is a solution of hydroxycinnamic acids in alcohol 0.1 g / l. Increases germination and seed germination rate. Accelerates flowering, growth and development of plants. Increases productivity by about 35-50%. Sometimes you can find the wording: "protects plants from the action of ultraviolet rays" - this is not true, zircon only reduces the harmful effects of direct sunlight, especially on shade-loving plants.

Zircon significantly reduces the degree of damage from diseases such as late blight, peronosporosis, scab, bacteriosis and fusarium, gray rot, powdery mildew(especially susceptible roses), viral diseases. Possesses high root-forming activity (practically at the level of root-forming preparations). Promotes the rooting of seedlings and cuttings, as well as accelerates the survival rate during transplantation.

The active substance of zircon decomposes under the influence of light, therefore, spraying with zircon, like epin, is carried out in a semi-dark room (in a dark bag or at night).

Zircon cannot be combined with preparations that stimulate root formation! But simultaneous processing with zircon and fertilization is possible. Only a freshly prepared solution is used - it loses its properties after 30 minutes, as it stands in the light. Zircon is absorbed and consumed by the plant within 18 hours.

Zircon - instructions for use

• 1 ml of the drug per 10 liters of water when spraying vegetative plants;
• 1 ml of the drug per 1 liter of water for soaking the cuttings before planting (within 12-14 hours);
• 1 ml of the drug per 1 liter of water when soaking the bulbs (for a day);
• 1 ml of the product in 5 liters of water when spraying to accelerate flowering;
• 1 ml of the drug per 5 liters of water - spraying with powdery mildew, etc. diseases;
• In all other cases, be it drought, hypothermia, a standard working solution is recommended: 1 ml of the drug per 10 liters of water.

Remember that a weakened plant perceives an overdose of the drug more acutely and more painfully. In other words, you can only make it worse.

What to choose epin or zircon

Comparing these drugs, it becomes clear that their effect differs primarily in the intensity of exposure. When treating with epin, the probability of harming the plant is very small, more often the drug becomes useless if used in bright light, if treatments are carried out more often than once every 1-2 weeks. Zircon, unlike epin, can be used not only for spraying and soaking, but for watering at the root.

• V stressful situations in the form of drought or lack of lighting, impact low temperatures, it is more advisable to use epin-extra.
• As the prevention of diseases and the impact of these very stressful effects of adverse conditions, it is also better to use epin.
• For faster rooting of plants that take root quite easily, it is also worth using epin.

Zircon should be treated in cases where epin was not in the store, as well as if there are already signs of the disease, such as powdery mildew, wilting for unknown reasons, spots of unknown origin (blackening along the edge of the leaf or just spots on the leaves), discoloration flowers (in the form of streaks or circles), as well as changes in leaf color without visible damage and tissue death. Zircon should be used when rooting hard-to-root cuttings or when dividing a bush (plants that reproduce only by division and / or spores and seeds often painfully tolerate root damage).

Zircon is much more effective than epin in increasing flowering and fruit formation. This can be used, for example, when harvesting citrus fruits.

Amulet

Obereg is a natural growth regulator based on polyunsaturated fatty acids, which are an integral part of vitamin F. The active substance of the drug "Obereg": arachidonic acid - 0.15 g / l.

The preparation "Obereg" is intended to increase the resistance of plants to diseases and stresses, to stimulate their growth and development. It activates the immunity and vital activity of plants. Plants become more resistant to diseases, sudden changes in temperature and other stresses. The germination of seeds, the growth and development of plants is accelerated, the yield and yield of early production increases, and it stimulates branching. It is used for processing vegetative plants, as well as seeds, bulbs, tubers of vegetable, berry and fruit crops. Recommended for processing plants during budding or early flowering. The effect of the treatment lasts for at least a month. Hazard class: 3. Toxicity: practically non-toxic to mammals, slightly toxic to fish and birds. Use the prepared solution within 1-1.5 hours (for spraying or soaking seeds).

Method of using the stimulant Amulet

• pre-sowing seed treatment: soaking the seeds for 30 minutes - 1 hour (depending on the density of the seed coat). The amount of working fluid is based on 2 ml per 1 g of seeds to be soaked.
• spraying vegetative plants (on a leaf) at the rate of 1 ampoule "Obereg" for 1.5-2 liters of water. You can repeat the spraying procedure after 3-4 days and so on for 2 weeks.

The drug Ukorenit

The drug "Ukorenit" is a root formation stimulator, the active ingredient is indolylbutyric acid - 5 g / kg. It is used to stimulate root formation, increase the survival rate and rooting of cuttings and seedlings of fruit, berry, ornamental, flower crops. Accelerates the emergence of roots, promotes the development of a powerful root system, prevents decay, ensures better survival of plants by cuttings, planting seedlings, transplanting trees and shrubs.

The preparation "Root" causes the growth of a powerful root system with a large number of root hairs in the cuttings or saplings, which contributes to enhanced nutrition of the plant, stimulates the growth and development of the aerial part.

Mode of application

• Shake the cuttings moistened with water and immerse them in the preparation to a depth of 1-1.5 cm, then immediately plant them in the soil. Consumption rate - 10-20 mg / cutting.
• When planting seedlings root system soak for 6 hours in a suspension of the drug: dissolve it in a small amount of boiling water and bring with water to a volume of 10 liters (consumption rate 1 g / l).
• When transplanting crops - watering at the root once 10 days after planting. The consumption of the working fluid is 0.5-5 liters, depending on the size and age of the plant.

Question: Epin is only sprayed or can it be watered under the root? And if only to spray, does it have some kind of smell?

Answer: Watering with epin is useless, it must have a NON-ALKALINE medium, so you need to dissolve it in boiled or distilled water, or drip a drop or two lemon juice or another acid. And the soil cannot be absolutely acid reaction, which means that if you pour it with epin, then about the same will happen if you drop vinegar on the soda. But zircon can be watered under the root, but the dosage cannot be exceeded, it is stronger than epin, and if the concentration is exceeded, it does not give any positive aspects. The smell is slightly present, but not strong.

Question: I wonder how it will be seen whether the epin disintegrated in the water or not? Is decay synonymous with dissolution? Those. Will the water not be foamy, slightly cloudy, and odorless?

Answer: In an alkaline solution, epin simply disintegrates when dissolved, and loses all its qualities, so you need to drop at least a drop of something sour (squeeze out lemon juice). And the epin foams from the fact that surfactants are added to it (as in shampoo), this is for better adhesion to the leaves, so that the solution is not washed off immediately with rain. Now, if it does not foam, this is not an epin, but a fake. The turbidity of the epin solution can be very, very weak.

Question: After spraying with epin, small brown spots appeared on the young leaves. Old leaves are alive - healthy. Maybe I made a too concentrated solution?

Answer: Most likely, the spots did not appear from the epin solution. The cause could be bacterial or fungal infection, for example, due to waterlogged soil or too frequent spraying. Perhaps the disease began even before spraying with epin, and quickly spread in a humid environment. The appearance of spots can be associated with a malnutrition in the soil and with a sharp drop in temperature at night. Since the action of the epin is slow, he simply did not have time to help.

Question: Is it true that zircon, unlike epin, is not destroyed, but is activated in the light?

Answer: If we are talking about a solution, then no, not true, zircon is just as unstable to light as epin, the solution is not stored. However, such a deceptive opinion was formed due to a misunderstanding of the fact that zircon increases the photosynthetic potential, i.e. increases the resistance of plants to longer exposure to light. But the plant, watered with zircon, must be provided with sufficient lighting for the drug to be effective, one day after spraying.

Question: I have a 1 ml ampoule of epin. Dilute it with 5 liters of water or are there other sizes of epin ampoules?

Answer: Yes, epin is always available in 1 ml ampoules and must be diluted with 5 liters of water.

Question: Is it possible that the drug epin can have a different concentration percentage? For example, when I recalculated the permissible concentration of the epin that I was buying, I got a proportion of 3 drops per 0.5 liters of water - however, I drip 2-3 drops (when it works out) per 400 ml, I have such a "sprinkler".

Answer: The concentration of the epin is always the same. Preparations of the same composition can be registered under different trade marks... There is Epin-extra on sale, there is EpinTM and others - the substance is the same, but produced by different factories. As a standard, the manufacturer determined that 1 ampoule or 1 ml of the drug is about 40 drops. But the drops are different - someone intends with a large pipette and not 40, but 20 drops.

Answer: I never measure with drops, why be confused. On the eye, half an ampoule for 2-2.5 liters of water, if there are few plants. If you need to soak the seeds, then why not water all the plants with the remaining solution. It is also used for prevention. And if there are a lot of plants, then I dilute the capsule as expected for 5 liters of water.

Question: How to distinguish a fake, and why didn't the epin help me?

Answer: It is quite difficult to distinguish a fake. Epin has a specific smell (pungently sour) and is slightly soapy. The counterfeit may be odorless at all, or it may be pure soapy water. But this is not the main thing, the effect is most often not obtained if spraying is carried out in a lit room, even if not in direct sun; when the solution is old, you need to water the freshly diluted ones. If the water has an alkaline reaction, the active substance of the epin is destroyed. For example, if it is bred in the same container with fertilizers in which the reaction is alkaline, or in an unwashed container from under these fertilizers.

And it happens that the plant has already suffered, and it was treated with epin. The plant may be too weak to cope even with an epin. In addition, frequent treatments will not give any effect, it will be from the first treatment, and the subsequent ones are simply useless. The effect of epin must be expected within two weeks, and not the next day.

Question: Are phytohormones really as good as they are said to be? Did they help anyone?

Answer: The forum conducted testing on the use of phytohormones, the results are as follows:

1. What are they for? - 6.45% of respondents
2. No. Everything is taking root in me. - 16.13% of respondents
3. No. Tried it, did not notice the difference - 6.45% of respondents
4. Yes. If I know that a plant is difficult to root - 45.16% of respondents
5. Yes - 25.81% of respondents

Plant growth stimulants reviews from the flower forum

• I use it only if it is difficult to take root. Only the fear of losing a valuable stalk can mobilize me to search for a home for heteroauxin, its breeding and other body movements. I stopped using Kornevin. It is not very effective.
• I do not use stimulants, I believe that there is little benefit, but it does harm, like all stimulants.
• I used epin and immunocytoitis. They helped a lot after the illness, the pakhira walked away easily. I do not recommend using it as a growth stimulant.
• I use it, I use it ... And I see no harm. And everything takes root much faster.
• I also use root for hard-to-root cuttings. Now I'm rooting laurel and tried heteroauxin. A month has passed, out of three cuttings, two are standing, one is thinking to bend. I think this is a normal result.
• I actually use stimulants when it's hard to take root. Recently I decided to conduct an experiment. Almost three weeks ago, using phytohormones, I stuck two cuttings of a philodendron into the sand, covered it with a jar, and periodically ventilate it. And I put one stalk in the water. Today I noticed that the one that has already started up small roots in the water ... and the hormonal ones are still ... so then ... Is it worth using them at all, these hormones?
• I use heteroauxin, root is a typical "wrong" in my opinion.
• I use heteroauxin for hard-to-root cuttings or if they are especially valuable (for me), but after processing, the rose rooted much faster than just when I plant it in the ground. And I wanted to soak the leaves of streptocarpus, but did not, read somewhere that herbaceous ones are not soaked in stimulants, only woody ones. So, live and learn. And from the root (let the manufacturer forgive me) is useless, like from a goat of milk.
• I tried it a couple of times, but, unfortunately, I didn't notice any particular effect.
• I often use epin, zircon and heteroauxin, but naturally when necessary. Those who take root easily, I just throw it into the water, well, and those who are more complicated, those are already in full swing with all the extras.

Foreword

detailed instructions and a description of methods of using the biostimulant, which is considered a fertilizer. How does it affect plants, including indoor flowers.

Zircon contains the following components: hydroxycinnamic acids (HCC) and alcohol. The latter, as in medicines, plays the role of a preservative and stabilizer of substances dissolved in it. The concentration of HCC in the preparation is 0.1 g / l. The HACs themselves, which are mainly chicory, caftaric and chlorogenic acids, are produced from such plant materials as echinacea purpurea, a flower plant belonging to the Astrovye family. Zircon, of course, smells like alcohol, and its color is light yellow or yellow with a slight tint of green.

Fertilizer zircon

When the drug is diluted, foam appears. The active components of the fertilizer decompose in the light and under the influence of ultraviolet radiation. The work of the drug is to stimulate the plant's own phytohormones - the so-called auxins, which are responsible for growth and many other important processes. As a result, any plant culture responds in a complex way, activating and launching whole line various internal mechanisms - protective, ensuring the acceleration of development. In plants, growth, root formation and generative processes are activated (for which many attribute the drug to fertilizers), and also significantly increased resistance to diseases, various negative factors and stresses.

Moreover, the drug has such an effect on plant crops at all stages of their development - from preparation for sowing or planting and up to harvesting. As can be seen from the composition, as well as the method of exposure to the plant, Zirconis not a fertilizer at all. This drug is nothing more than a biostimulant and immunomodulator. Zircon compatible, that is, it can be mixed or used simultaneously, almost with, drugs for pests and diseases, as well as other growth regulators and phytohormones. The only exceptions are agents that have an alkaline reaction. How to identify incompatible drugs is discussed below in the instructions.

The joint use of Zircon with other means enhances the effect of the latter and neutralizes negative side effects from them. Due to the fact that Zircon is made from natural components and does not contain any chemicals, it is itself safe for plants, people and animals, and the resulting products are environmentally friendly and have high marketability and taste.

This biostimulator was developed by a Russian company, which since 2001 has been called NNPP "NEST M". This enterprise since the development of Zircon and up to the present time is the only manufacturer of it. The drug, presented on the shelves on behalf of other companies, is only packaged and sold by the latter. Basically, Zircon is sold in plastic ampoules with a volume of 1 ml (that is, 40 drops), which are closed with a lid and packed in a bag containing detailed instructions for use on the back. Also on sale are plastic cans and bottles with a capacity of 1, 5, 10 and even 20 liters.

It is imperative to store Zircon in a dark and dry place, with a temperature not exceeding +25 ° C. In addition, storage should be done separately from medicines and food, and away from animals and children. The shelf life of the drug established by the manufacturer is 3 years.

Ways of using the preparation - what does the treatment of plants give?

This biostimulant is not used in its pure form. On its basis, an aqueous working solution is made, which can be used in different ways. Seeds and cuttings are soaked in it, they are sprayed with plants and even watered. Treatment with this biostimulant provides:

• improvement and acceleration of seed germination (this is especially noticeable on seed expired), as well as faster germination of seedlings;
• stimulation of the formation and development of the root system of cuttings;
• acceleration of development and growth of seedlings - the period of formation of viable seedlings ready for planting in unprotected soil is reduced by an average of 5-10 days;
• increasing the resistance of seedlings to a number of diseases (including black leg), insufficient illumination and humidity, recurrent frosts;
• reduction of rooting time by about a week, both for cuttings and transplanted adult plants;
• activation of the formation of roots, shoots, ovaries and fruits;
• prevention of fungal and bacterial diseases, as well as faster and effective fight plants with them and recovery after pest control measures;
• reducing the time for the appearance of flowers and counteracting their shedding and ovaries;
• increasing the yield of all crops by 30-60%;
• the onset of maturation 5–10 days earlier than that of untreated plants.

In addition, Zircon provides protection and excellent recovery of crops from stresses caused by drought and waterlogging, heat and frost, lack of light and ultraviolet radiation, as well as the use of chemicals (fertilizers and) and changes in soil composition. And as a fertilizer, this biostimulator is much more economical than all known fertilizers, which really are.

The preparation of the working solution of Zircon should be carried out immediately before use, since it cannot be stored for a long time. A ready-made mixture that has stood idle for too long will lose all its beneficial properties, and it can simply be poured out. It is allowed to store the working solution, moreover, in a room with room temperature, starting from the moment of preparation:

• maximum 3 days, but provided that storage is carried out in a dark place, and if in the light, then during preparation the water must be acidified by adding citric acid - 1 g is required for 5 liters;
• no more than 24 hours if stored in the light and without acidification.

Fertilizer dilution

For cooking, you should use water and Zircon itself, which have a temperature not lower than room temperature - in the range of 18-23 ° C. If the drug in an ampoule or other container in which it was purchased has stratified, then it must be thoroughly mixed before preparing the working solution until a homogeneous liquid is obtained. For this, Zircon must be shaken right in the ampoule or in another of its "native" containers.

The working solution should be prepared in an enamel, glass or plastic container. It is not recommended to use other types of containers, and galvanized ones are prohibited. The cooking technology is as follows:

1. Pour 1/3 of the total required volume of water into the dish.
2. Add Zircon.
3. If we completely use the ampoule, then we rinse the container from under the drug with water, which, after rinsing, is poured into a dish with the prepared solution.
4. We add water to the required volume in the dishes used for cooking.
5. Mix everything thoroughly.

Zircon should be used very carefully and strictly in a certain dosage for each specific purpose. There are only 2 basic rules. The first is the inadmissibility of an overdose under any circumstances, it is better to treat the plants with a solution with a lower concentration than necessary, but more often. Second - the solution is best used on the day of its preparation, and its temperature should be room temperature.

For pre-sowing and pre-planting preparation (soaking of seed material and cuttings), the duration of its implementation and the content of the drug in the solution are as follows:

Vegetative plants are sprayed with a solution of Zircon. This type of processing should be carried out without fail only in calm dry weather and in the morning, when the sun has not yet risen high.

Zircon in packaging

In case of stresses in any crop (planting, transplanting, frost, drought, the use of pesticides, pest and disease damage), it must be sprayed every 5-7 days until the plant is fully adapted or recovered. The composition of the working solution should be as follows: 1 ml of biostimulant per 10 liters of water (4 drops per 1 liter).

In all other cases (in the absence of stressful situations), spraying of plants during the growing season is carried out according to the following scheme:

Processed crop	Dosage of the drug, consumption of Zircon / water	Phase (time period) of plant treatment and features of the solution
Decorative and floral		When shoots and leaves begin to grow
		When budding
		When 2-3 true leaves have grown, and then again when budding
		After planting seedlings, and then 2 more times: during flowering 1st and 3-4 brushes
Eggplant and Pepper		After planting seedlings and during budding
Cauliflower and b / c	12 to 14 drops / 10 l	When the head of cabbage begins to tie
Potato	13 drops / 10 l	When full shoots appear, and then at the beginning of budding
Zucchini, melon and watermelon		When 2-3 true leaves grow, and then when budding
Root vegetables (any)	6 to 8 drops / 10 l	Spray seedlings as they appear
Pear and apple tree		When budding, and then 2 weeks later after flowering Consumption of mortar per 1 tree: 5-10 l
Cherry plum, cherry, cherry and other fruit	2 to 2.5 ml / 10 l
Berries: strawberries, strawberries and others	12 to 16 drops / 10 l	When budding
Coniferous plants		Seedlings first, then seedlings, and then mature plants as needed

In addition, the solution can be used for watering. This will provide plants with constant biostimulation, which will allow them to be at the peak of their growing potential at all times, as well as provide continuous prevention and protection from stress, pests and diseases. The dilution rate of Zircon for irrigation is 1 mg (that is, an ampoule) per 10 liters of water.

Another important rule for use concerns the use in conjunction with other drugs and relates to compatibility issues. Before mixing or using simultaneously (within one day) the working solution of this biostimulant with other fertilizers or other compositions, you should check them for this very compatibility. To do this, mix in small quantities (a few drops) Zircon and another preparation ... If a sediment appears, then these two compositions are incompatible, and they should only be used separately.

This biostimulant has long been used by many growers for growing not only, but also home flowers. Impressions from the use of the drug are only positive. Zircon is as if specially designed for home flowers. But they are also subject to all those effects of the biostimulant that are described above for any plant crops. Just the effect of using Zircon when growing home flowers at first amazes many, because it:

• accelerates root formation in cuttings and transplanted plants;
• brings the flowering period closer;
• stimulates the protective forces of indoor flowers when damaged by pests and diseases;
• prevents, under unfavorable conditions, shedding of still unblown buds;
• greatly slows down the wilting of cut flowers, prolonging their freshness.

Indoor rose after fertilization

Working solution for indoor plants cook according to the instructions above. In the tables, you should look at the columns for flower crops, as well as "bulbs, corms" and "cuttings of other crops". To prepare a working solution, it is better to take cooled boiled water. In the absence of stress and without the prevention of diseases, grown sprouts and young and adult plants that have already settled in a new place are usually treated 2 times a year - in spring and at the time of budding, in order to speed up this process, to obtain large quantity flowers and prolong flowering.

This drug is chemically inactive and belongs to the 4th class in terms of danger - that is, to low-hazard substances. It does not pose a serious threat to human health. For him, it is low-toxic. And also it is practically not dangerous for all warm-blooded animals, fish, bees and other insects, does not pollute both surface and groundwater, does not accumulate in soils and is not phytotoxic.

Working with fertilizers with gloves

However, when working with this biostimulant, a number of simple, standard safety precautions are required for handling chemicals:

• wear work clothes that fully protect the skin, gloves, boots, a hat and a mask, or goggles with a respirator;
• do not drink, eat or smoke until the end of the work.

In addition, no food utensils should be used to prepare the working solution based on Zircon. At the end of the work, you should take a shower, while thoroughly washing all exposed areas of the body with soap and water, and then change your clothes. You also need to rinse your mouth without fail.

Zircon is a drug that stimulates the growth and development of more than 65 types of plant cultures. Zircon has a lot positive qualities, but the main thing is that it is made on the basis of natural components that have a beneficial effect on fruiting and the development of the root system. In order for the plants to be resistant to diseases and pests, experienced gardeners use the zircon preparation.

It has a positive effect on the growth of healthy strong seedlings of any vegetable crops, as well as its positive properties affect conifers. It has been observed that zircon has a positive effect on rooting and plant adaptation to transplantation.

Agronomists recommend using zircon before planting seeds or seedlings. In addition, for plants, zircon helps to increase the adaptive processes of the plant to increase or decrease temperature regime both outdoor and indoor microclimate.

Advantages of a biostimulant

The drug does not have a detrimental effect on pests and pathogens of fungal, bacterial and viral diseases... Such a remedy increases immunity and stimulates growth processes in the roots, which has a positive effect on germination, rooting of cuttings and the appearance of seedlings.

The use of a biostimulant provides an effective effect of the drug on tissue cells and thereby a decrease in transpiration processes and an increase in the absorption of water and nutrients by the roots.

Zircon is obtained from biological material of plant origin, and its composition is an alcoholic solution of hydroxycinnamic acids in a proportion of 0.1 gram per 1 liter. Accelerates the emergence of seedlings and effectively affects germination.

Fertilizer accelerates flowering, growth and development of plants. The product reduces the harmful effects of direct sunlight.

Fertilizer has an effect at the cellular level and helps to adapt to critical conditions (drought, waterlogging). Zircon increases plant resistance to the following diseases: fusarium, bacteriosis, rot, powdery mildew, scab, late blight, etc. The fertilizer has a complex of positive qualities in use:

1. Improving the quality of fruits and ground parts of plants.
2. Acceleration of growth processes, about a week earlier, begin to bear fruit.
3. Increase in yield by 50%.
4. Stimulates root formation and fruiting.
5. Improving the palatability of berries, vegetables and reducing the content of heavy metals.
6. Fast adaptation and rooting.
7. Ease of transferring temperature changes (light, moisture).

Spectrum of action

• seeds, its effect provokes the penetration of liquid through the hard shell, as a result, healthy and strong shoots are obtained, which are subsequently used for planting in the ground;
• Fertilized cuttings develop a strong root system, which is very important for root formation. Zircon has a positive effect on the formation of roots in cuttings of sakura, almond, lilac, barberry, conic, thuja, cypress, currant. As you know, a cutting is a segment of the shoot of any plant, that is, for its further development, roots must form;
• positive impact on the development of flower ovaries, that is, the number of flowers on plants treated with a biostimulant increases several times.

Important! Zircon has a positive effect only in cases of decent plant care. That is, if flowers or vegetables grow unkempt, then zircon will not solve all problems.

Fertilization is beneficial at all stages of the growing season, but only with systematic watering and other plant care measures.

Composition of components

The preparation mainly consists of components of plant origin, such as caffeic, chicory and chlorogenic acids. These acids are produced in the plant - Echinacea purpurea.

Thus, the composition of zircon does not contain chemical elements and allows you to get fruits of vegetables and fruit crops with satisfactory taste.

Vegetable and fruit fruits grown with regular preparation treatments are optimal for processing and making baby and diet food... Plants can be used in pharmaceuticals for the production of medicines.

On sale, zircon is presented in the form of ampoules with a volume of 1 milliliter, sometimes in plastic bottles with a volume of 1, 5, 10 and 20 liters. The biostimulator has the smell of alcohol, when it is diluted with water, foam appears, as a result of which the solution acquires a yellowish-green color.

For an effective effect, it is recommended to spray with this solution early in the morning or in the evening. The fertilizer does not contain hazardous substances for living organisms. If rain is expected, then treatments should be postponed until better times.

Dosage of use

The biological growth stimulant retains its properties within a day after its dilution and it is best to use it within a day. A mixed solution in the right proportion can be stored for two days in a dark place (cellar).

To preserve the quality components, 1 gram of lemon is added to the solution for five liters of the dissolved substrate. When dissolving the drug, it must be borne in mind that 1 milliliter of liquid is 40 drops.

The solution is allowed to be used at the initial stages of the vegetation process of the plant, the optimal doses of use are - 1 ampoule per 1 liter of water. When using zircon, the following terms should be observed:

• for root crops and bulbs, they are soaked for a day;
• cuttings and layering for 12 hours;
• seed material of vegetable crops - 15 hours.

For pre-sowing treatment (seed soaking), the stimulator is used in the following proportions:

• Cucumber seeds - five drops per liter of water for 7 hours;
• Vegetable seeds - 10 drops per 1 liter for 7 hours;
• For flowers - 35 drops per 1 liter - 7 hours;
• Potatoes - 20 drops per liter of water, one liter of solution is used per 100 kilograms of tubers;
• Bulbous flowers - 20 drops per liter for 24 hours;
• Cuttings processing - 1 milliliter per liter of water for 12 hours.

Zircon has an effective effect throughout the growing season of plants, for this they are sprayed in the morning and evening hours in calm weather, before the onset of heat. Can be processed once every 10 days. Zircon is used during stressful situations:

• transfer;
• rooting;
• the presence of pathogenic fungi and pests;
• lack of moisture and temperature changes.

Doses during the growing season:

• for cucumbers, it is necessary to dissolve 4 drops of a stimulant in a liter of liquid and spray during the formation of 3 leaves;
• for tomatoes - 4 drops per 1 liter, processed during planting of seedlings in the ground and during flowering;
• for eggplant and peppers, also 4 drops per liter are applied after sowing and at the time of bud formation;
• for root crops, the composition is used: 8 drops per 10 liters and is applied after germination;
• for cauliflower and white cabbage 14 drops of the drug per 10 liters, spraying occurs during the setting period;
• potatoes 14 drops per 10 liters during bud formation;
• for conifers, apple trees and pears - 4 drops per 1 liter, processing occurs at the end of flowering;
• sweet cherries and cherries - 10 drops per 1 liter are processed at the initial stage of budding and 2 weeks after flowering;
• berry crops (currants, raspberries) - 15 drops per 10 liters, processed in the bud formation phase.

Before using zircon, you need to inspect the solution, if it flakes off or precipitates, it must be shaken until a homogeneous solution is formed. The resulting liquid must be kept at a temperature of 20-24 degrees Celsius.

The drug is used in the following agrotechnical measures:

1. Feeding.
2. Seed soaking.
3. Spraying.

Important! It is best to sprinkle seedlings at the stage of formation of three to four leaves. Zircon has a positive effect on picking and plants quickly adapt to new conditions.

Spraying is carried out to enhance adaptation processes during a cold snap, increase soil and air moisture, or during transplantation.

Features of using zircon

1. The biostimulant is quickly absorbed by the plant, so it can be used once every 3 days.
2. Doses and instructions for use should be strictly observed; with frequent use, the concentration should be reduced.
3. Zircon fertilizer should be used in the morning or evening in calm weather.
4. In cases of exceeding doses, shedding of leaves, buds and flowers is observed.
5. Cannot be used on violets and plants with pubescent leaves.
6. Half a teaspoon of citric acid should be added to the finished composition.
7. Using different types stimulants need to be spaced between treatments.

The drug goes well with drugs:

• Aktelik;
• "Decis";
• "Ditan M - 45";
• Intavir;
• "Poliram";
• Ridomil Gold MC;
• Fitoverm;
• "Fufnon";
• Epin Extra.

Using a houseplant stimulant

The drug has a wide range of uses for indoor and summer cottage crops. Zircon is not a fertilizer and therefore combines well with organic and mineral substances.

It is noted that the addition of the drug to a vase of cut flowers preserves and prolongs the life span. Active substances disinfect water, rejuvenate flowers and stimulate vitality.

Zircon has a positive effect on the seed plant material of indoor flowers, for this, 2 drops of the drug are dissolved in 300 grams of water, then the solution is defended for 12 hours and soaked, having previously placed the seeds in a tissue bag.

Important! Soak vegetable seeds in a weak solution of drugs. In general, when using zircon, the instructions for use indicated on the package must be followed very closely.

For regular watering, the following solution is prepared: 1 ampoule of the drug per 10 liters of water or 5 drops per liter. These proportions are suitable for watering all indoor plants in flowerpots.

Fertilizer "zircon" is considered a completely harmless preparation and has an effective effect on rooting and inhibition of stress during transplantation.

Compatibility with other fertilizers

This fertilizer can be mixed with all commonly known insecticides, fungicides and other fertilizers.

It is forbidden to combine zircon with drugs, when interacting with which there is a reaction with the release of alkali. To check compatibility, you need to mix a small amount of zircon with another preparation and add water, if a precipitate appears, then you do not need to mix these preparations.

Sometimes zircon is used as an adhesive solution, that is, after treating the plants with it, the rest of the fungicides and insecticides are perfectly fixed on the leaf plates of the plants.

Precautionary measures

During the use of the stimulant, the reviews say - no undesirable situations were noted, however, like any other fertilizer, it requires some precautions. According to the class of harmfulness, zircon is of the fourth class, and does not pose a danger to the life of living organisms.

Still, the basis of zircon is biological materials, therefore, it does not pose a danger to water bodies and soil either.

For living organisms (humans, animals) during work, it is necessary to avoid troubles and adhere to protective measures and work in a camouflage uniform (gloves, mask).

Upon completion of the work, you need to thoroughly wash your hands with soap and it is advisable to take a shower and change clothes.

First aid

Zircon does not pose any danger and does not cause disease, but nevertheless, people's susceptibility is different and for someone it's okay, while someone has complex consequences. If fertilizer gets on the skin, then be sure to rinse this place with running warm water.

In cases where the solution gets into the eyes, it is urgent to rinse them with a weak solution of baking soda, and then rinse with water, trying to keep the eyelids open.

After penetration of the solution into the gastrointestinal tract, an urgent need to drink a weak solution of potassium permanganate and artificially induce vomiting. Experts say that zircon does not have a negative effect.

Storage features

Zircon should be stored in a dry place at room temperature (approximately 23 degrees Celsius). Do not store near food and medicine. The biostimulant can be stored for 2 years.

Storage areas must be safe from children and pets.

Conclusion

Many lovers of summer cottages and gardens ask themselves the question: "What is zircon and how to use it?" Zircon is a herbal preparation that effectively helps to grow high yields of vegetables and fruits.

Positive qualities of zircon:

• accelerates the emergence of sprouts;
• accelerates the appearance of fruits and berries for a week;
• the yield increases by 50 percent of what was actually expected.

Summer residents call zircon a savior, sometimes they give up and many do not know how to help the plant, it is in these cases that this fertilizer works wonders.

Epin, Epin-extra

About epin and epin-extra

provides:

Accelerated germination of seeds;
- Rooting of seedlings during picking and transplanting;
- acceleration of ripening and increase in yield;
- protection of plants from frost and other unfavorable conditions;
- increasing resistance to late blight, perronosporosis, scab, bacteriosis and fusarium;
- revival of weakened and rejuvenation of old plants by stimulating lateral shoots;
- a decrease in the amount of toxins, heavy metals, radionuclides in the plant, an excess of nitrates.

therefore it is especially indicated when:

Frost,
- flooding,
- invasion of pests, etc .;

those. It is indicated in any stressful situations for plants, especially effective in pre-treatment of plants, for example, before transplanting seedlings.

peculiarities:

It degrades in the light, so you should keep the epin in the dark.
- collapses in an alkaline environment, so use clean boiled water to obtain a solution or acidify it with a spoonful of boric acid or vinegar.
- is well absorbed (assimilated) by the plant even with partial processing of the plant.
- disintegrates in the plant for about 14 days, so it is useless to carry out treatments more often.

Using Epin-extra

usually 1 ml(1 ampoule) epina-extra on 5 l water
1 ampoule - 1 ml or about 40 drops

Vegetable seeds are soaked in Epin-extra solution (1-2 drops per 100 ml of water for tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, eggplants) for 18-20 hours at + 20C.
- Seeds of flower crops 4 drops of Epin-extra per 100 ml of water for 18-20 hours.
- Flower bulbs and cuttings are soaked before planting in Epin-extra solution (1 ml per 2 liters of water) for 24 and 12 hours, respectively.
- Potato tubers are sprayed before planting (1 ml per 250 ml of water per 50 kg of potatoes).

1 ml of Epin-extra is dissolved in 5 l of water and mixed thoroughly.
Spraying is carried out evenly wetting the leaves.
The working solution is used on the day of preparation. NO alkaline environment!

Seedlings - spraying with Epin-extra solution (5-6 drops per 0.5 l of water) in the phase of 2-3 true leaves and on the eve of transplantation;

Potatoes, tomatoes - budding - beginning of flowering;
- root crops - by seedlings;
- cucumbers - 2-3 true leaves with repetition in the budding phase;
- peppers - at the beginning of budding with repetition in the flowering phase;
- tulips - when buds appear;
- fruit and berry - in the budding phase with repetition after 20 days; (Consumption is 2-5 liters of solution for a young tree and 5-8 liters of solution for an adult tree);
- under stressful growing conditions (lack of light, frost, onset of diseases, etc.), spraying is carried out every 7-10 days until the plants recover.

Zircon

Zircon action

When the seeds are soaked, it increases their germination energy and germination capacity, activates growth processes and increases the biomass of plants, increases productivity, and the yield of mature seeds.
Zircon increases the penetration of water through the shell of seeds with a strong shell by 2.5 times.
The result is high quality seedlings with a strong root system.

However, it should be borne in mind that zircon acts harder than epin, therefore dosages should be minimal, they should not be exceeded.

It stimulates root formation (and increases their volume up to 300%), can be used together with heteroauxin for rooting cuttings.
Allows you to effectively root cuttings of sakura, almond, lilac, felt cherry, barberry, roses, clematis, conifers (conic spruce, thuja, cypress, juniper), currants, clonal rootstocks.
Accelerates the growth of roots and aerial parts of larch and pine seedlings.

It is an inducer of flowering - accelerates flowering and counteracts the shedding of ovaries. In chrysanthemums, it increased the number of open flower baskets by 2-3 times. For a rose, it accelerated the beginning of flowering by 10 days;
- zircon slows down the aging of cut flowers;
- effective against ovary shedding;
- exhibits anti-stress activity:

when transplanting:

reduces transpiration, increases the absorption of water and nutrients, increases the efficiency of photosynthesis, the survival rate and growth of transplanted plants after treatment with zircon is much higher than that of controls. In drought conditions, it has an adaptogenic effect. in plants treated with zircon, the photosynthetic potential increases, the leaf surface and total biomass increase.
- possesses fungicidal and partly antiviral properties, there is no addiction to the drug. Effective against powdery mildew, reduces infection with peronospora by 20-60%.

Differences between zircon and epin

Zircon - root formation, flowering induction, virus protection;
- Epin-extra - resistance to diseases and adverse conditions;
- unlike epin, an overdose of zircon should not be allowed, a lower dosage is better, but more often;
- unlike epin, zircon is assimilated and utilized by the plant in just 18 hours, and not 14 days, like epin;
- unlike epin, the whole plant must be carefully treated with zircon, since zircon moves slowly through the plant, and epin - quickly;
- unlike epin, zircon is absorbed by the roots, so you can water the ground or the planting hole with its solution.

Use of zircon

Better less dosage, but more frequent handling. Do not overdose!

usually 1 ml (1 ampoule) for 10 (or more) liters of water
1 capsule - 1 ml or about 40 drops

Application features

Although hydrocinnamic acids filter ultraviolet rays and are even found in sunscreens for humans, zircon is also unstable to light, so it should be stored in a dark place and sprayed only in the morning or evening.

Pre-sowing and pre-planting processing

Vegetable seeds are soaked in Zircon solution (1-2 drops per 300 ml of water) for 8-18 hours at room temperature.
- cuttings are soaked before planting in a solution of Zircon (1 ml per 1 l of water) for 14 hours. To increase the effectiveness of heteroauxin during rooting of cuttings, plants are treated with Zircon (1 ampoule per 1 l of water) and heteroauxin (200 mg per 1 l of water).
- Bulbs and corms of flower cultures are soaked for 20-22 hours before planting in a solution of Zircon (0.5-1 ml of Zircon per 1 liter of water).

Spraying vegetative plants

1 ml of Zircon is dissolved in 10 l of water and mixed thoroughly. Spraying is carried out evenly wetting the leaves.
- For fruit and berry crops, spraying is carried out in the budding phase;
- For vegetable crops, spraying is carried out before the start of fruit formation;
- Potatoes: to prepare a working solution, 0.1 ml (4 drops) of Zircon is dissolved in 3 liters of water.
Spraying of plants is carried out in the phase of full germination and at the beginning of budding.
- Flower and decorative crops. To accelerate flowering, 1 ml of Zircon is dissolved in 1 liter of water.
Spraying of plants is carried out before the formation of buds.

An approximate scheme of using Epin and Zircon

Pre-sowing and pre-planting processing

Zircon increases the penetration of water through the shell of seeds with a strong shell by 2.5 times.
- Vegetable seeds are soaked in a solution of Zircon (1-2, maximum 3 drops per 300 ml of water) for 8-18 hours at room temperature.
- Seeds of ornamental crops are soaked in a solution of Zircon (maximum 4 drops per 300 ml of water) for 8-18 hours at room temperature.
- Bulbs and corms of flower cultures are soaked for 20-22 hours before planting in a solution of Zircon (0.5 ml of Zircon per 1 liter of water).
Seedling
- spraying in the phase of 2-3 true leaves with Epin-extra solution (5-6 drops per 0.5 l of water);
- fungal diseases of seedlings (black leg, etc.) - shed soil (roots absorb zircon) with a solution of zircon under the root (4 drops per 100 ml of water) and sprinkle the leaves (2 drops per 100 ml of water);
- before the pick:
spraying with Epin-extra solution (2-3 drops per 100 ml of water boiled water) is performed a few hours before the pick;
- landing in open ground:
spraying with a zircon solution (2-3 drops per 1 liter of boiled water) 1 day before or after planting in the ground. For strong plants, you can use 4-5 drops of zircon per liter of water.

vegetables:

Potato tubers are sprayed with epin-extra 1 day before planting - 7-8 drops per 250 ml of water, there is no need to turn the tubers.
- During the budding period, we use zircon as an inducer of flowering 1 ml per 10 liters of water, spray treatment of vegetative plants;
- In the flowering phase, sprinkle with epin-extra 1 ml per 5 liters of water;
- Frosts are expected to be sprayed with epin-extra 1 ml per 5 liters of water;
- Reanimation of plants zircon plus cytovite 1 ml per 10 liters of water;
- Cold drought, sunburn sprayed with zircon. Especially important for conifers, it protects conifers from ultraviolet rays - 1 ml per 10 liters of water. Used in the morning or evening. It should be repeated 4 times in 7-10 days. When the soil thaws, it is good to spill it with this solution.

treatment with epin (in cold weather) increases the yield of potatoes by 20%,
Zirconium treatment in dry, hot weather increases potato yield by 68%. fungal diseases

At the first sign, zircon is sprayed with 1.5 ml per 10 liters of water.
- with late blight, epin-extra 1 ml per 5 liters of water is more indicated;
It should be remembered that zircon is assimilated and utilized by the plant in just 18 hours, while epin takes 14 days.

grafting

soaking in zircon is used; for different cultures, the maximum efficiency is achieved for a concentration from 0.1 ml (4 drops) per 1 liter to 1.0 ml per 1 liter of water.
The concentration must not be exceeded, otherwise the zircon will not work;
Heteroauxin 200 mg per liter of water can be added.

landing, transfer

When planting, especially conifers, soak the roots in a chatter box with a solution of zircon plus citovite 1 ml per 10 liters of water and sprinkle the crown with the solution; when planting a 2-3-year-old seedling, a zircon solution (1.5 ml per 10-12 liters of water) is poured into the planting pit.
It is better to do less concentration, but process more often;
after a week, sprinkle 1 ml with 5 liters of water with epin-extra;

Flowers

Epinom extra or zircon is used, although zircon is preferable because is a flowering inducer, used before the bud formation phase.
Roses can be sprinkled with zircon in a very low concentration in late autumn (November): 1 ml per 25 liters of water.
Virus protection - zircon;

Green crops

Presowing treatment - zircon;
- budding phase - zircon 1 ml per 10 l of water

Harvest storage

- budding phase, flowering - treatment with zircon 1 ml per 10 l of water;
- before winter - treatment with zircon 1 ml per 10 liters of water;

Currant

Spraying against powdery mildew with zircon 1 ml per 10 liters of water; If there is no damage - Epin extra 1 ml per 5 liters of water;

Gooseberry

Gooseberry cuttings - zircon, you can add heteroauxin.
Kornevin or indoleacetic acid with zircon cannot be used!

Some reviews on the use of epin

1. The room lemon began to dry up. I sprayed it with Epin's solution several times. The leaves came to life, growth began.

2. I put several cut carnations in a vase with Epin (2 drops per 1 liter of water), and other carnations in a vase of water without Epin. The leaves that were in the solution with Epin remained fresh on the 9th day and the flowers were also fresh, and the leaves in the water without Epin turned yellow, the petals of the carnations fell. Farhad. Branch manager.

3. I have been using Epin for five years now. It helps grow organic vegetables and fruits.
It is also effective on flowers.
To obtain seedlings, I soak overnight in Epin (1 drop per 1/4 cup of water, always boiled). If the seeds are substandard (3 drops in 1/4 cup of water). I process the seedlings before picking (3 drops per 1/2 glass of water), and then, in the budding phase, 8-10 drops per 1 liter of water.
I process roses 3-4 times per season.
1st (after removing the winter shelter),
2nd 1 ampoule for 5 liters of water,
3rd 1 ampoule for 3 liters of water.
4th a week before the winter shelter (there was no attack from frost).
Suddenly, I met with his power to revive dead plants. The 20-year-old rose "Flamenantz" (Dance of Fire) was dying. What remained of a huge bush was a pitiful 2 shoots, 2 buds on each, and a small lateral root from the root. I took the spine, bathed it in Epin's solution, wrapped it in a canvas cloth soaked in the same solution, held it for 2 days. I planted and spud with my head. And a month later, in May, I got bored and saw 4 weak, but alive escapes.
Since then, my rose has been decorating my garden again, even better than the old one. Rejuvenated, lashes up to 3.5 m. It blooms profusely.
And for other flowers - Epin is a friend and healer. I process them with Epin - (5 drops per 100 ml of water).

For epin, you can give the following advice - three or four repeated treatments in 7-10 days. There are three such cycles during the growing season.
One spring - to facilitate the exit from winter, crown regeneration.
The second is summer, during the period of maximum stress, summer drought or other natural tricks for which our nature is generous.
The third - at the very end of the growing season (September-October) to stimulate the transition to rest.
Use low concentration for treatments. For herbaceous - the same ampoule for 5 liters. For bushes, trees and conifers, it can be increased by two to three times (ampoule for 2 liters).
It is very good to combine epin with foliar feeding. You just need to make sure that the fertilizer solution does not have an alkaline reaction, the epin does not tolerate it.

What to choose epin or zircon?

Comparing these drugs, it becomes clear that their effect differs primarily in the intensity of the effect.
When treated with epin, the probability of harming the plant is very small, more often the drug becomes useless if used in bright light, if treatments are carried out more often than once every 1-2 weeks.
Zircon, unlike epin, can be used not only for spraying and soaking, but for watering at the root.
In stressful situations such as drought or lack of lighting, exposure to low temperatures, it is more advisable to use epin-extra. As the prevention of diseases and the impact of these very stressful effects of adverse conditions, it is also better to use epin. For faster rooting of plants that take root quite easily, it is also worth using epin.
It is better to process zircon in cases where there is no epin in the store, as well as if there are already signs of the disease, such as powdery mildew, wilting for unknown reasons, spots of unknown origin (blackening along the edge of the leaf or just spots on the leaves), discoloration of flowers (in the form of streaks or circles), as well as changes in the color of the leaves without visible damage and tissue death.
Zircon should be used when rooting hard-to-root cuttings or when dividing a bush (plants that reproduce only by division and / or spores and seeds often painfully tolerate root damage).
Zircon is much more effective than epin in increasing flowering and fruit formation. This can be used, for example, when harvesting citrus fruits.
Epin is absorbed by the plant within 7 days, and zircon is absorbed immediately.
Therefore, plants can be used more often for resuscitation: Epin every 7 days, zircon every 2 days. Zircon gives better results if used together with citovite (4 drops of zircon + 8 drops of citovite per 1 liter of boiled water at room temperature). This is absolutely for sick and feeble plants.

One more concentration of epin can be exceeded - nothing terrible will happen, the concentration of zircon should never be exceeded !!!

Application:
1 ampoule contains 0.25 mg of active ingredient in 1 ml (from 40 to 50 drops) and is designed for 1 spraying of 2-2.5 hundred parts of crops. The solution can be used within 2 days. Epin is destroyed by light, so it should be kept in the dark. To obtain a solution, you must use clean filtered and boiled water. Epin is destroyed in a silk environment, so a few drops of acid (boric, citric, acetic) can be added to the solution water. Well absorbed by the plant. In a plant, it disintegrates within 14 days, this should be taken into account when re-processing.
Soak:
seeds of most vegetable crops (tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, eggplants, peppers, parsley, onions) in a solution at the rate of 4-6 drops per 100 ml of warm (22-23 ° C) boiled water for 18-24 hours and celery seeds, carrots, beets - 3 drops per 100 ml of water;
flower seeds - 4 drops of Epin-extra per 100 ml of water for 18-20 hours; corms, tubers and cuttings are soaked for 24 hours in a solution at the rate of 1 ampoule per 2 liters of water (3 drops per 100 ml).
Spraying:
seedlings of seedlings - 7 drops per 200 ml of water (for greater cold resistance, plants are treated 2-3 times with an interval of 7-10 days).
... seedlings before picking or planting in the ground per day or immediately after planting - 7 drops per 100 ml of water.
... potato tubers are sprayed before planting (1 ml per 250 ml of water per 50 kg of potatoes).
... seedlings in open ground working solution - 1 ampoule per 5 liters of water (for carrots 5-6 drops per 100 ml of water, beets 4 drops per 100 ml of water).
... shrubs, trees, strawberries in the spring on the first leaves and buds - 1 ampoule per 100 ml of water.
... all fruit and berry and garden crops in the phase of budding - flowering - fruit formation until the leaves are completely wet - 1 ampoule per 5 liters of water.
... plants in stressful conditions before and after frosts, with strong winds, cold nights, heat, lack of moisture, light, etc. - 1 ampoule per 5 liters of water, for viral, fungal and other diseases, damage, wilting, aphid infestation, Colorado potato beetle, other pests - a solution of 7 drops per 100 ml every 5-7 days until recovery.
... plants after harvest big harvest, before the onset of winter - the main working solution.
Plants are processed in the following phases:
... potatoes, tomatoes - budding - the beginning of flowering;
... root crops - by seedlings;
... cucumbers - 2-3 true leaves with repetition in the budding phase;
... peppers - at the beginning of budding with repetition in the flowering phase;
... tulips (bulbous) - when buds appear;
... fruit and berry - in the budding phase with repetition after 20 days; (consumption is 2-5 liters of solution for a young tree and 5-8 liters of solution for an adult tree);
The results of using epin
... Seeds germinate faster.
... The seedlings do not stretch, they become resistant to frost, drought and diseases, they take root well when picking and transplanting into open ground.
... Frozen and withered plants are revived, and old shrubs rejuvenate and begin to bear fruit again.
... The ovaries do not fall off the treated plants.
... Burns and late blight in plants under the film are excluded.
... The yield increases by at least 1.5 times, ripens 2 weeks earlier, and is stored longer.
... Salts of heavy metals, radionuclides, herbicides are removed from plants and their fruits; the content of nitrates decreases.

Vegetable seeds are soaked in a solution of Zircon (1 - 2 drops of the drug per 300 ml of water) for 8 - 16 hours at room temperature.
Vegetable seeds are soaked in Epin's extra solution (1-2 drops per 100 ml of water) for 4-6 hours at 20 ° C.
Seeds of most vegetable crops (tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, eggplants, peppers, parsley, onions) in an epin solution at the rate of 4-6 drops per 100 ml of warm (22-23 ° C) boiled water for 18-24 hours and celery seeds , carrots, beets - 3 drops per 100 ml of water.
