Plant development stimulants allow you to influence them, enhance growth, resistance to diseases, and increase productivity. Let's consider the capabilities of "Zircon" for plants, its features and composition, how it works, instructions for use for garden and indoor crops, joint use with agricultural products, how it should be stored and what it can be replaced with.
What it is?
"Zircon" is one of the growth stimulants, a broad-spectrum drug.This is a natural non-hormonal stimulant based on natural substances. They stimulate growth processes, protect plants from stress, actively participate in leaf respiration, and protect them from drying out during drought.
“Zircon” improves seed germination, accelerates the rooting of seedlings, cuttings, 1-year and perennial deciduous and coniferous plants. Prevents the falling of set and growing fruits. Reduces the likelihood of developing infectious diseases and their spread, increases the impact of protective equipment on harmful organisms, while simultaneously reducing their phytotoxicity. Activates root growth, their length and weight, stimulates leaf growth. Increases plant productivity.
Features and composition of the drug
“Zircon” consists of hydroxycinnamic acids and other compounds - their derivatives. The substances are fast-acting and are exchanged 1-2 hours after entering the plant.
The drug is economically consumed and works well in small doses. Fruits grown using a stimulant have good taste and are stored for a long time without losing their beneficial properties. Due to the non-toxicity of the drug, products obtained from plants treated with it can be eaten the very next day.
Operating principle
“Zircon” has a complex effect, simultaneously manages the processes of growth, root formation and generation, increases disease resistance, and is a stress adaptogen. Increases resistance to drought, waterlogging, soil salinity, and strong ultraviolet radiation.
The stimulant acts as an activator of plant disease resistance, exhibits antifungal, antibacterial and antiviral activity. Prevents the development of pathogens if used prophylactically or in the first stages of the disease.The product ensures the development of most of the crop before pathogens and pests appear en masse.
When treated with Zircon, the level of infection is greatly reduced and the pesticide load is reduced, since it becomes possible to treat them less frequently than before.
“Zircon” can be diluted with pesticides whose solution does not have an alkaline reaction. As a result, it is possible to reduce the consumption of agrochemicals and increase productivity.
Instructions for use of "Zircon"
The stimulator can be used for all garden crops, in the vegetable garden, and can also be used to feed indoor plants.
For garden crops
Treatment of seeds with Zircon enhances their germination, plant density, and activates bioprocesses in them. Vegetable seedlings can be sprayed after planting; if you treat the plants during budding, this will stimulate flowering and further fruiting. In tomatoes, the product activates the formation of simple and complex clusters, reduces the likelihood of ovary shedding, increases the size and weight of the fruit, because of this, the yield can increase by half.
Decorative and flower crops are also treated with Zircon. It is used for propagation by green cuttings, including propagation of varieties that take root with difficulty.Accelerates the formation of roots by 5-7 days, increases the survival rate of cuttings by 2 times, they become more resistant to rot.
Conifers are treated during transplantation. To root conifers, they are watered with a solution of the drug prepared from 1 ml per 1 liter.
For indoor flowers
A growth regulator for flowers in pots should be used in the same situations as for garden plants. The solution in a standard concentration is watered when replanting or planting a new plant. Spraying is carried out before flowering, when the flowers release buds.
Possible harm and precautions
Zircon can be harmful if overdosed. Its effect on plants will be the opposite. Weakened plants react even more sharply to an overdose, so you need to prepare the solution for them more carefully.
The stimulant is non-toxic for humans, animals, soil, and insects. Not found in fruits. You can work with it wearing only gloves, a respirator and goggles. It does not irritate the skin or eyes; protective equipment is only needed to prevent splashes from getting on the skin. After work, wash your face and hands with soap and water. Wash off with plain water those places on the body where the solution got in.
Combined use with other fertilizers
The regulator is compatible with pesticides aimed at controlling weeds, diseases, and pests. A good effect can be obtained from general use with microfertilizers.
Storage rules
"Zircon" can be stored for 3 years, in original packaging. Storage conditions: dry, dark, ventilated room. The temperature should not exceed 25 degrees. If the product has separated, it does not lose its properties; the liquid just needs to be stirred until smooth.Keep away from food and medicines, out of the reach of children.
Analogs
Growth stimulants with phytohormones are produced by many agricultural companies. In the household you can use the following drugs: “Epin”, “Amino Vicks”, “Athlete”, “Rival”, “Reggi”, “Benefit”, “Bud” and others. The active ingredients in them are different, but they affect plants in approximately the same way, that is, they stimulate all plant processes.
“Zircon” is a well-known stimulator of plant growth and development. Designed for use in agriculture and private household plots. The treatment is carried out on all crops; there are no contraindications to the use of the drug. Acts as an activator of all physiological processes, is active against fungi and pathogens, helps plants tolerate drought, waterlogging, and other unfavorable factors and quickly recover from them. Ensures the formation of the crop before the appearance of pathogens and pests, when they already appear en masse. “Zircon” can be combined with pesticides, because of this it is possible to reduce the amount of agricultural inputs and increase productivity.
