Pros and cons of Megafol

The biostimulator of crop growth and development has not been on the domestic market for long, but has already become a favorite among homestead owners and farmers due to its working qualities.

They listed the following benefits of fertilizer:

• Possibility of application for various cultural and ornamental plants;
• increasing the productivity of fruit plants;
• increasing resistance to cold snaps, temperature changes and recurrent frosts;
• stimulation of crop development, increasing the number of flowers and ovaries, and, accordingly, fruits;
• the possibility of combined use with other chemicals after the test;
• resistance to precipitation (stays on the leaves of crops for a long time, even if the weather is rainy);
• lack of phytotoxicity if the consumption rates specified in the instructions are observed.

The main disadvantage of the biostimulant is its high cost, due to foreign production. In addition, at home, fertilizer should be used with extreme caution, as the chemical can lead to poisoning of pets by fumes.

Types of products

The Italian-made drug reaches store shelves in the form of a liquid concentrate, packaged in containers of different sizes. In order to try the fertilizer, you can purchase a 25 ml sachet, which is enough to treat a small number of plantings, and then decide on the advisability of using a growth stimulator.

Area of ​​application of the drug

"Megafol" is used in gardening and farming for a wide range of crops, however, in order for the chemical to be beneficial, it is necessary to adhere to the application periods and fertilizer consumption rates recommended in the instructions.

Foliar feeding

The annotation for the drug states that the most favorable method of use is foliar feeding. It is carried out at different times, depending on the crop, starting in mid-spring. First, prepare a working solution and pour it into a spray bottle, and then generously spray the planted crops, but make sure that the liquid does not drip onto the ground.

It is advisable to carry out work early in the morning or after the heat of the day has subsided, in the late afternoon. Thanks to this method, the components of the biostimulator quickly penetrate into the tissues of cultivated plants and are distributed to all parts, starting their work.

Root fertilizer

Megafol is not used as a root fertilizer, since the effectiveness of this method is much lower than when spraying green mass. And given that the biostimulator is expensive, gardeners try to use the working solution to the maximum benefit.

Instructions for use for different crops

When starting to cultivate a garden or field, it is worth looking at the instructions and clarifying what rate of fertilizer is needed for a particular plant.

For fruit and berry plants

For cereals, beans and corn
