Without the use of chemical protection agents and drugs that increase the immunity of crops, it is difficult to grow and harvest a rich harvest, especially in risky farming areas, where the air temperature varies greatly throughout the day. Novosil, a fertilizer produced by a domestic company, has many positive qualities, thanks to which gardeners often prefer the chemical and use it in their summer cottages.
Composition and release form of the drug
The immunostimulant, which is also characterized by a fungicidal effect, is produced on the basis of natural raw materials. The active component of the drug is obtained from Siberian fir needles - these are triterpene acids (abiesonic and abiesolic). The preparative form of Novosila is an aqueous emulsion, which is packaged in 10 or 30 gram bottles or 1 ml glass ampoules. For ease of measuring the drug, each bottle is equipped with a special pipette.
Scope of application and operating principle
A growth regulator from a domestic manufacturer can be used in two ways - soaking the seed before planting in the ground and treating already vegetative plants. The instructions indicate that the immunostimulant can be used for a wide range of grains, fruits, vegetables and berries.
The operating principle of Novosila is as follows:
- accelerating the formation of ovaries and increasing their number on one plant;
- reducing the time of fruit ripening, which is especially important for areas with short summers and cold autumns;
- accelerating the growth and development of cultivated plants;
- prevention of infection with infectious diseases by increasing immunity;
- prevention of ovaries falling from plants during sudden cold snaps and temperature fluctuations;
- improving the taste of grown fruits, vegetables and berries, they become sweeter and juicier;
- accelerating the germination of seed material and strengthening seedlings;
- stimulation of root formation and improvement of adaptation of bulbous plants to a new location;
- restoration of crops after stressful situations, such as prolonged rains, prolonged drought;
- improving the decorative effect of indoor flowers.
Instructions for use "Novosila"
The drug comes with instructions from the manufacturer, which indicate in what dosages and how often the immunostimulant can be used. To achieve the desired result, you must follow the recommendations and use the product correctly.
For seeds
In order to prepare seed material for germination, prepare a solution consisting of 1 ml of the drug (1 ampoule) and 1 liter of purified or settled water. The components are mixed until a homogeneous consistency is obtained and the seed material is dipped into the working liquid and kept in the solution for 6 hours.
This amount of working solution is enough to soak 1 kg of seed material. The instructions indicate that the drug can be used for any plants - both fruit and ornamental.
For seedlings
It is recommended to treat vegetable seedlings a week before planting in open ground or a greenhouse. This will help young plants quickly adapt to a new place and resist diseases and adverse weather conditions. To prepare the liquid for spraying, pour the contents of one immunostimulant ampoule into 3 liters of water and mix thoroughly.
After the crops are transplanted to a permanent place of growth, they continue to be treated with Novosil, adhering to the consumption rates specified in the instructions for each plant.
To spray cucumbers, prepare a liquid from 3 liters of water and 5 drops of the drug. During the growing season, the vegetable crop is treated 4 times - the first time when 3 true leaves are formed on the bushes, then before the buds begin to set, then 2 more times at intervals of a week.
To feed tomato bushes, you will need 15 drops of fertilizer per 3-liter container of water. Spray the tomatoes three times, focusing on the beginning of flowering of the first, second and third clusters.
Onion plantings are treated twice during the growing season - the first time when 4 leaves are formed on the plants, the second time - after 2 weeks. To prepare the working fluid you will need 30 drops of Novosil per 3 liters.
Potato growth can be stimulated by spraying the plantings with a solution of 1 liter of water and 30 drops of the drug. This is done during the period of active flowering of plants and a week after the first procedure.
For berry crops
Fertilizer allows you to improve the taste of berries and increase the yield from each bush by 25%. Currant, raspberry, grape and gooseberry bushes are sprayed with the working solution twice during the growing season. The first time the treatment is carried out at the moment of formation of flower buds, the second time - after half a month. Pour 30 drops of fertilizer into a 6-liter container of water.
Small bushes, such as strawberries and strawberries, need feeding three times a season - during flowering, at the end of harvest and after removing the tendrils. For 3 liters of water you will need 15 drops of Novosil.
When preparing the working fluid for spraying, you must remember that the water should be slightly warm (about 35 degrees), then the drug will dissolve better in it.
Safety precautions when working with fertilizer
“Novosil” is an organic preparation and, according to the manufacturer, is not dangerous for both humans and animals. However, basic safety rules must still be followed. Use work clothes and rubber gloves, and after finishing the treatment, wash your face and hands with soap.
Storage periods and rules
The shelf life of the immunostimulant, subject to storage conditions, is 3 years. Keep bottles of fertilizer in a dark place where the air temperature does not exceed 30 degrees.
Analogs
The fertilizer has no analogue in composition, but it can be replaced with a drug with a similar effect - Ecosil.
