Growth regulators are used in agriculture to accelerate the germination of grains and seeds, root formation and growth of young plants. Let's consider the release form and composition, action, purpose of "Ribava Extra", use according to instructions, how to work with the product correctly, how long it can be stored, under what conditions and what similar drugs can replace the growth regulator in agriculture.
Composition and release form of "Ribava Extra"
The biological product contains bioactive substances produced by mycorrhizal fungi that live on the roots of ginseng.These are amino acids, lipids, enzyme substances, vitamins (B2, B6, H, B12), peptides. "Ribav Extra" is produced by the company "Ribav" in the form of a solution, in glass bottles of 5, 10, 25 and 100 ml, in plastic bottles of 0.5 and 1 l and in ampoules of 1 ml (from the company "August").
Mechanism of action of the growth regulator
A growth bioregulator is both a root former and a therapeutic and anti-stress agent. The regulator provides plants with excellent rooting (up to 100%), the drug is also used for processing green and lignified cuttings of almost all varieties of crops: flowers, fruits and berries, conifers, ornamental and even difficult to root. The cuttings do not rot after treatment.
Due to its pronounced anti-stress effect, the growth regulator can be used to restore weak plants, to rejuvenate old specimens, and to improve decorative qualities. The drug does not adversely affect crops, soil or water.
Due to mycorrhizal fungi, after processing plants and seeds, the supply of mineral salts, vitamins, enzyme substances, water, hormones significantly increases; nutrition from the roots is enhanced 15 times. This leads to increased growth and development of roots, to increased resistance to infections, cold, heat, and drought.
When is it used?
"Ribav Extra" is used to treat seeds and cuttings of fruit trees and shrubs. The drug helps them germinate faster, protects them from root rot and mold, and helps them form a large and powerful root system. When treating young plants, it activates the growth of stems and foliage, and reduces the likelihood of fungal infections and bacterial diseases.
Helps plants recover after they have been damaged due to disease, frost, drought, or pest attack. The regulator also increases productivity, improves product quality and improves shelf life. The use of a regulator allows you to reduce application rates (up to 30%) of pesticides for plant protection without losing their effectiveness. At the same time, overall efficiency increases due to increased yields and reduced costs of agrochemicals.
Instructions for use
Standards for using the product:
- 0.2-2 ml per 1 kg of seeds;
- 1-10 ml per 1 ton of seeds or tubers.
- for root treatment – 1-10 ml per 100 sq. m;
- for foliar – 3-4 ml per ha;
- for flowers: for soaking roots – 4-40 ml per 100 sq. m, for foliar treatment - 0.4 ml per 100 sq. m.
The timing and number of treatments are different for each plant type.
The solution is watered on seedlings at the 2-3 leaf stage and after diving, the roots of tree and bush seedlings are soaked in it (cuttings - for 18 hours). Water the seedlings when planting.

Analogs
"Ribav Extra" can be replaced with growth regulators: "Agropon", "NV-101", "Emistim", "Agat-25K", "Symbionta", "Albit", "Mycefit". The products contain different types of mycorrhizal fungi.
The growth regulator "Ribav Extra" is used in agriculture to treat seeds, cuttings and seedlings before planting to enhance root formation, as well as to stimulate the growth of shoots and leaves of plants. The drug has many advantages: it enhances the rate of seed germination, root growth, and protects them from rot. Promotes plant recovery after adverse effects of cold, heat, diseases and pest damage. Plants treated with the product produce greater yields, the quality of the fruits improves, and they are better preserved. When used together with pesticides, it reduces their consumption, which leads to a reduction in the cost of harvested fruits.
