Each summer resident wants to be the owner of healthy and strong seedlings, to obtain a rich and tasty harvest. For this, he can use growth stimulants, which we will discuss below.

Is it possible to accelerate the growth of tomato and pepper seedlings
To reduce seed germination time, most gardeners use growth stimulants.
Exodus from stimulants may be the most diverse, as at different stages of plant formation, the phytohormones synthesized affect differently.
The growth stimulant acts on the plant in a complex:
- Accelerates growth;
- Increases immunity and protects against diseases;
- Protects from adverse weather conditions.
An excess of drugs can adversely affect the growth of seedlings. Using growth stimulants, it is necessary to carry out work in gloves, as some drugs are poisonous.
Stimulants to accelerate the growth of seedlings of tomato and pepper
In stores, you can find a large number of various drugs for the rapid development of seedlings. Most gardeners prefer proven and well-known stimulants, ensuring the rapid growth of young seedlings.
4 rules for the use of growth stimulants:
- Before sowing, seeds are better kept in the ready solution of Kornevin for 6 hours. This procedure will allow for earlier and healthy shoots.
- After seedling, to strengthen the young roots, you can use Epin or Zircon.
- Before landing, roots of seedlings are treated with Kornevin, for quick rooting.
- Twice a month, the plants are sprayed with Zircon, which leads to the early appearance of floral ovaries.
Seed treatment with growth stimulant, will allow to get high-quality and fruitful culture. As well as the tool used will not only protect the plant from all sorts of diseases, but also accelerate the growth of young roots, which will accelerate the formation and ripening of fruits.
Epin – extra
Universal drug - accelerates seed germination and reduces the content of nitrates, and also adapts a plant to bad weather conditions, such as: drought and cold.
Mode of application:
- The seeds are soaked at the rate of: 3 drops per 100.0 of water.
- Germinated seedlings are stimulated immediately 24 hours before disembarking to a permanent place or immediately after disembarking. For this, 1 vial of the product is diluted in 5 liters of water and the plant is watered solely under the root.
- In bad weather conditions, in order for the seedlings to get stronger faster, they are sprayed every 7 days.Preparation of the solution: 5 drops of Appin per half liter of water. Water should be boiled and room temperature.
The finished solution can be stored in a dark place, no more than a day. Epin - extra, drug non toxic and it is not used in conjunction with potassium permanganate.
Zircon
Effective growth promoter - increases rooting and increases the formation of flower ovaries. In the initial stage of plant development, the drug gives immunity to powdery mildew and the effects of heavy metals.
Cooking methods:
- For seed treatment - 2 drops of the solution is diluted in 300.0 water and kept the seeds within 10 hours.
- Processing seedlings before planting in the ground - per liter of boiled water - 3 drops of the solution. With the prepared solution, young seedlings are sprayed a day before disembarking or immediately after disembarking.
When using it is necessary read the instructions on the use of these tools.
Cornevin
With this stimulant, seedlings takes root well in the ground, suffers less from diseases and grows stronger.
A drug toxic, at application it is necessary to use means of individual protection. The drug is used for dusting the root system and for soaking seeds before planting.
Cooking method:
1 gram of the drug is diluted in a liter of water. Watering seedlings carried out at the rate of 60.0 ready-made solution, per plant.
Silk
Using this stimulant, peppers and tomato the yield will be much greaterthan untreated plants. Also treated bushes will endure temperature drops and will be immune to viral and fungal diseases.
For soaking seeds and processing seedlings, it is necessary to make a working solution: dilute the required amount of the drug in 200.0 warm, boiled water.
Seeds are treated in two ways:
- In the ready solution: seed is soaked for 2 hours
- Seeds are sprayed and dried.
Sodium humate
Treatment with this solution allows increase yields by 60%.
The concentrate is prepared 10 hours before use: 10 grams of powder is poured with 3 liters of hot water.
- To accelerate the germination of seeds of pepper and tomatoes - the concentrate is diluted at the rate of: 500.0 to 4.5 liters of water.
- For processing seedlings - 250,0 concentrated solution is mixed with 4.5 liters of water.
- For root dressing - 1 liter of concentrate is combined with 4 liters of water.
Proper use of growth stimulants before picking seedlings will help not only to harden, but also to strengthen the seedlings. Productivity will increase, and the plant will endure all sorts of diseases.
When working with drugs, it is necessary to strictly follow the instructions and use protective equipment, as most drugs are poisonous.
Dear admins - Humate does not apply to toxic substances. And according to the classification in general - to low-risk. It is not more toxic than regular soap.
Shame on your ignorance
