Every gardener, no matter what he grows - fruit trees, shrubs or flowers, always wants to see the result of his work growing healthy plant. Many already know the secret: what do you need to apply so that the plants after planting take root well and actively go to growth - this is a root stimulator, as well as a concentrated organic fertilizer heteroauxin. Now we will tell about the preparation "Heteroauxin": what it is and how to apply it.
Heteroauxin - Growth Stimulator Description
Heteroauxin (indolyl-3-acetic acid) is a substance of the auxin class, which is formed in the plant tissues and contributes to its growth processes, increasing physiological activity. On the basis of a natural substance that stimulates a high level of biological action, a new type of fertilizer, heteroauxin, was obtained by laboratory synthesis. This substance is an organic plant growth promoter. as well as the process of rooting for various saplings of trees and shrubs, seedlings and bulbous plants.
Heteroauxin is used by gardeners as a conqueror of cuttings of fruit and berry crops. Even a small amount of the drug will improve the development of a healthy root system and accelerate the growth of terrestrial parts of the plant. Thanks to the use of heteroauxin, flower crops will flourish, and fruit and berries and vegetables will give a good harvest.
Did you know? A solution of heteroauxin will help cure mechanical damage to the bark, freezers and podpryvaniya. To do this, it should be periodically applied to damaged areas.
Mechanism of action, how heteroauxin works
Heteroauxin is used in the process of planting plants for better rooting and stimulating root growth. The nutrients that make up heteroauxin give a developed and powerful root system to various crops, and as a result, there will be a favorable growth of ground parts and abundant fruiting.
This fertilizer contributes to a good survival rate of seedlings, seedlings when cutting and planting, and also contributes to the successful transplantation of a shrub or tree.
The mechanism of action of the solution of heteroauxin is the penetration of the drug into plant cells, followed by the accelerated development of the root system, both under normal conditions, and when the plant is planted in the wrong soil.
The positive aspects of the use of heteroauxin can also be attributed to the acceleration of crop growth, increase in yield, protection of cuttings and seedlings from the appearance of fungal diseases, as well as feeding the plant with necessary micro- and macroelements.
Recommendations for the use of the drug, how to use heteroauxin (consumption rates and treatment objects)
Heteroauxin is produced by Russian manufacturing companies "Green Belt" and "Orton" in the form of powder, packaged in packs of 50, 100 or 1000 g, as well as in capsules weighing 0.1 g. Consider in more detail the heteroauxin fertilizer and its application instructions for different types of plants.
As a stimulator of rooting of cuttings of ornamental, berry and fruit crops dissolve 10 tablets in 5 l of warm water and put the green cuttings into the resulting solution for 10-15 hours, and half-and lignified ones for 16-21 hours at the rate of 5 l per 500 cuttings. In this case, the drug will improve the accretion of tissues and increase the survival rate of the cutting.
As a growth promoter for grapes in a solution of 10 tablets and 1 liter of water immerse a multi-eyed piece of grape vine, leaving about 30% of the cutting with a peephole above the surface of the liquid. Heteroauxin is used for grape grafting - it is able to improve the scion and rootstock fusion, for this you should dip them for a couple of seconds in the preparation solution 1 tablet per 1 liter of water.
Gardeners are sometimes interested in how to replace "Kornevin" for roses, which is very popular. The drug "Heteroauxin" is an analogue of the drug "Kornevin", similar to its effect on the rhizomes and shoots of the plant. As a growth promoter for roses, it is necessary to soak the cuttings in a solution of 1 tablet and 5 liters of water for about 15-17 hours.
Important! For frequent use of small doses of heteroauxin, you can prepare an alcohol solution of 2 tablets and 20 ml of alcohol, which should be stored in a dark glass container. If necessary, 2 ml of the alcohol solution is dissolved in 10 liters of water and used for the needs of gardening.
As a stimulator of growth of seedlings of berry bushes or fruit trees, they are soaked for two hours, immersing to the level of the root collar in a solution of 1 tablet per 5 liters of water, after which the seedling is planted.
Heteroauxin is used for bulbous flowers by soaking bulbs and bulbs in a solution of 1 tablet per 1 liter of water for 16–20 hours, thereby rooting will be stimulated, there will be more processes in the parent plant, and the flowering time of the plant will also last.
Heteroauxin, according to the instructions for use for indoor plants, is used in case of stalk breakage or pruning of shoots - by treating a fresh cut point with a weak solution of the preparation. When transplanting a room flower, it is recommended to dip its roots in a solution of 1 tablet in 2 liters of water for 1 hour to prevent late blight, blackleg, powdery mildew, gray rot and scab.
Heteroauxin stimulates root formation and survival of seedlings of vegetables, increases the yield of crops, and also reduces their incidence. To do this, when planting seedlings in open ground, it is necessary to dip the root system in the preparation solution at the rate of 1 tablet per 2 liters of water. After 6-9 days after planting, as soon as the plant starts rooting, it is recommended to water the heteroauxin with the root-root method, avoiding contact with the stem and leaves.
How to check heteroauxin
Sometimes the gardener can get fake heteroauxin, which can not give the desired result, so the purchase of the drug must be carried out in reliable places selling quality products. The original preparation of a pinkish shade with a sharp specific smell, well soluble in ethyl alcohol without sediment. Alcohol solution of the drug has a color of iodine.
In order to test heteroauxin, it is necessary to pour it into alcohol and observe the solution. At the slightest signs of poor dissolution of the drug or the appearance of a precipitate, it can be concluded that this substance is not heteroauxin and should not be used in horticulture.
Did you know? Heteroauxin is slightly soluble in water, to accelerate the preparation of the solution, you should use warm water.
Precautions when working with the drug
Heteroauxin is classified as a slightly toxic drug; however, before you dissolve it in water and start using it directly, you should wear a gauze bandage, gloves, and work clothes. During the period of work with the drug it is forbidden to take food and drink, as well as smoke in order to avoid getting the drug into the human digestive system.
After the preparation of the solution is completed and the plants are processed, they should thoroughly wash their hands and face and change clothes. In case of contact with skin or eyes, immediately rinse the area with a large amount of running water. The solution of heteroauxin should not be allowed into rivers and lakes - this can cause damage to the aquatic flora and fauna. Used packaging from the drug to be incinerated.
Heteroauxin: storage conditions
Heteroauxin must be stored in a sealed bag or sealed container at a temperature of from 0 to +20 ° C in a dry dark place away from food, medicines without access to the preparation of children and pets.
Growth stimulant retains its properties for two to three years, after which its effect gradually decreases. The finished solution of the drug can be stored for no longer than a day.
The use of such a budget growth stimulator, such as heteroauxin, will have a beneficial effect on the root system of cultivated plants, improve seed germination, reduce the harmful effects of low temperatures and excessive humidity, and also stimulate the growth of the whole plant - all these factors make this phytohormone popular in gardening.
