Not long ago, in all media, reports of some miracle - tablets regulating the growth of plants very often slipped.
They promised a more rapid development of seedlings, accelerated plant growth, an unprecedented increase in yield. Whether there really are such stimulants, you need to understand more.
Let's look at this process on the example of pepper seeds.
Plant growth regulators
To be precise, the “growth stimulator” for pepper seedlings is not an exact definition. It would be more correct to name this group. "development regulators". This means that these drugs can not only to develop the overall growth of the plant, but also to stimulate an increase in yield and acceleration of its development phases.
Process begins with seed germination, seedling growth, appearance of real leaves, root mass increase. Under the influence of any drugs, you can increase the growth rate, accelerate the appearance of leaves.
Otherwise, the development of leaves on the stem, which will not sustain their weight, is possible. Or the growth of a powerful stem, with atrophied leaves. Similarly, you can speed up the ovary of the fruit or increase their total number.
Now on sale there are a number of drugs that serve to regulate the development of pepper. The most famous of them are "Epin - extra", "Kornevin", succinic acid.
In this, of course, there is a plus. Development regulators exist. Therefore, you need to know exactly what and at what time to apply, for uniform development. After all, an excess of the applied drug may have the opposite effect; even the death of the plant is possible. Let's try to more accurately learn about the properties of regulators, methods of making, precautions when working with these drugs.
Cornevin
"Kornevin" for seedlings of pepper corresponds to foreign similar drugs. Available in a convenient for gardeners powder form, which has a high degree of adhesion
This feature simplifies the order of application, with high efficacy of the drug. Powder is used in a mixture with activated carbon. for processing the roots of planted plants. Mixed in equal portions.
Can be used as an aqueous solution. Used for watering transplanted seedlings. The solution is prepared at the rate of one gram of drug per liter of water.
Experienced gardeners recommend watering seedlings with a solution immediately after transplanting. Watering can be repeated in 2-3 weeks..
For pre-soaking pepper seeds, the solution is prepared in the following proportion:
- A teaspoon of powder dissolves in a liter of water.
- Seeds are placed in the solution for a period of 18 to 24 hours.

Epin
Gardeners using the drug "Epin", speak of him with admiration. Increases the germination of seeds of peppers, tomatoes, potato tubers.
Indispensable in stressful situations (prolonged rains, viral infections, soil depletion) for plants. Domestic version of the biological regulator of production in Japan, rather high efficiency.
Since 2003, the release in Russia ceased. Launched the release of domestic products "Epin - extra". Processing enhances seed germination, stimulates root growth when picking.
Form release - ampoules of one milliliter."Epin extra" for seedlings and seeds of pepper is an alcohol solution of epibrassinolide.
The concentration of the solution in ampoules compared with "Appin" reduced ten times. The effectiveness of the application, according to the manufacturer, does not affect.
A feature of the drug is its decay into the light. Therefore required storage of ampoules in dark places sheltered from light.
succinic acid
As a plant growth stimulator succinic acid known for a long time. Most of all in natural amber. But processing amber for fertilizer is not cheap. For the treatment of seeds and plants, succinic acid is used, which is obtained by synthesis at enterprises producing chemical fertilizers.
The list of industrial chemicals permitted for use in Russia contains only one preparation, which is based on succinic acid for pepper seedlings. His name "Universal".
Available in the form of water soluble crystals. The solution is used to accelerate the ripening of peppers, increasing their yield. Treatment with a solution is recommended when flowering plants. Spraying consumption rate - one liter of finished solution for an area of 20-25 square meters.
Advantages of using drugs
Kornevin:
- The drug treatment accelerates the germination of pepper seeds;
- Accelerates root growth when picking.
Epin - extra:
- Accelerates the germination of soaked seeds;
- Increases yield;
- Stimulates the formation of ovaries;
- Protects a plant at small cold snaps.
Succinic acid:
- Treatment of pepper seeds with succinic acid solution increases germination capacity up to 98%;
- Increases the overall yield of pepper;
- There is an acceleration of ripening time.

Protection measures at work
Kornevin:
- When working with the drug can not smoke, drink water, eat;
- It is recommended to work by protecting the skin of the hands with gloves.;
- In case of contact with the skin, wash with soap and water.;
- Store in tightly closed container.
Epin - extra:
Succinic acid:
Succinic Acid Preparations not dangerous environment. Yet gardeners recommend to carry out work in gloves and cotton-gauze bandage.
To help pepper seedlings, especially during the growing season, we can recommend fertilizer with a complex of trace elements to gardeners "Tsitov". Treatment with this drug, with strict compliance with the instructions, will increase the resistance of peppers to various fungal diseases, and will increase the overall resistance to the effects of the environment. The maximum protective effect for seeds and seedlings of peppers is achieved with simultaneous treatment with drugs. "Epin-extra" and "Tsitov".
