PROPERTIES
| – growth stimulant | – adjuvant | – adaptogen |
| – cryoprotectant | – anti-stress agent | – anti-oxidantсидант |
Growth stimulant. Due to the impact of the VIMPEL-K® components the production of adenosine triphosphoric acid (ATA) is activated, so the formulation is a powerful stimulator of energy production, increases cellular respiration, promotes the absorption of oxygen by cells. The velocity of oxygen consumption by mitochondria (the energy center of the cell) is increased tenfold. This leads to the acceleration of all the metabolic processes, including increase in seed growth energy up to 5-8% and the power of seedling growth, which makes it possible to generate a required plant density. The plant produces more biomass, i.e. growth processes of root system and vegetative mass accelerate. As a result, the resistance of plants to drought is increased by 25-30%.
In perennial crops, the percentage of successful grafting and rooting of cuttings and stalks increases by 15-20%, and the survival rate of seedlings (rooted and grafted) improves by 10-12%. VIMPEL-K® also helps restore the root system when transplanting seedlings.
Adjuvant. The component of the formulation with high molecular weight is characterized by high film forming ability. Due to this feature VIMPEL-K® provides fixing of tank formulations on seeds, thus increasing effectiveness of biological products, disinfectants and microfertilizers by 25-30%. With prolonged (up to 2 months) exposure to conditions of lack of moisture in the soil, the seeds are exposed to the negative effects of the provocative moisture, which leads to mold formation. Formed membrane protects the seeds treated with VIMPEL-K® from provocative moisture, preserving its germination. Field seed germination in particularly adverse conditions increases by 20-25%.
Adaptogen and cryoprotectant. The simultaneous action of polymers raises osmotic pressure directed inside of a cell, improves protein metabolism that is expressed in the synthesis of stress proteins, and also in increase of sugar content in plants. These changes make a plant more resistant to adverse conditions of the environment, it becomes more resistant to high and low temperatures, low humidity. Content of sugar and starch increases by 40%, resulting in the increase of winter hardiness and frost resistance (freezing point of the cell sap and water decreases by 3-5°C).
Anti-stress agent. Application of the formulation in combination with protectants removes pesticide stress. In addition to the above the strength of seedling growth is restored to the inherent in the genotype level.
Anti-oxidant. VIMPEL-K® reduces the effect of oxidizing agents, stabilizes the livelihood of the natural microflora of the soil around the seed. The formulation protects plants from the excess accumulation of nitrogenous substances (nitrates) in the tissues when their content in the soil is more than necessary.
The recommended application rate of VIMPEL-K® during seed treatment provides high efficiency due to the optimal concentration of components in its composition.
Thus, complexity of the formulation VIMPEL-K® gives it the properties of a growth stimulant, adaptogen, cryoprotectant, anti-stress agent, adjuvant, anti-oxidant and makes it ideal for seed treatment. Seed treatment with the formulation VIMPEL-K® leads to the reinforcement of its effect during the entire life of the plant.
Treatments must be carried out with a solution that was prepared immediately before use.
Such a simple agricultural method as seed treatment with the growth stimulant VIMPEL-K® leads to an increase in yield by 15-28%, which has an evident economic effect.

One of the first stages in the process of obtaining high-quality plant products is the pre-sowing treatment of seeds with growth stimulants, which help to achieve a balanced interaction between cells, tissues and plant organs. According to research in the field of agriculture, the plant organism has 20–40% of unused genetically embedded potential, which can be activated thanks to growth stimulants.
Correctly selected technologies for application these formulations will allow you to get large yields of high-quality agricultural products. The use of growth stimulants, which contain a high content of biologically active substances, developed by DOLINA specialists, launches and regulates the physiological and morphogenetic programs of the plant, and also fully reveals the potential laid down by modern plant breeders. Fruitful cooperation between qualified scientists in various fields made it possible to create a high-quality product VIMPEL-K®, the application of which fully allows you to influence the increase in the profitability of crop production technologies, improve the quality of crop cultivation and their productivity starting from the initial stages of development.
The impact of the substances contained in VIMPEL-K® is focused directly on the seed and the processes occurring in it.
POLYETHYLENE OXIDES
Polyethylene oxides structure free intracellular water and increase its activity, which contributes to the acceleration of photosynthesis, growth and development, regulation of the intensity of mineral nutrition and transpiration processes. The substances have a high film-forming ability, which ensures the fixation of tank preparations on seeds and increases the efficiency of biological preparations, protectors and mineral fertilizers by 25–30%.
Acting as cryoprotectants, polyethylene oxides weaken the processes of crystallization in the plant organism by changing the nature of their flow. They also prevent the adhesion and denaturation of macromolecules, and as a result, allow preserving the integrity of the entire cell, its membranes and organelles. The simultaneous action of polymers with different molecular weights increases the osmotic pressure directed inside the cell, improves protein metabolism, which is expressed in the synthesis of stress proteins, as well as in an increase in the amount of sugars in the plant. These changes make the plant body more resistant to adverse environmental conditions.
The level of sugars and starch increases by 40%, which increases winter hardiness and frost resistance (the freezing temperature of cell sap and water decreases by 3-5°C). Since about 60% of diseases are transmitted through seed infection, moreover it is also a source of infection that can be both on the surface and inside the seed, the use of polyethylene oxides can reduce the impact of undesirable effects. Polyethylene oxides have different molecular weights of the fractional composition of the mixture, enabling formation of a protective polymer film that has a dual effect on the seed. On the one hand, the film inhibits harmful processes directly in the seed, preventing excessive moisture from entering, which can cause the development of pathogenic organisms. On the other hand, these substances prevent the penetration of undesirable microflora that is in the soil environment. And, as a result, this will allow solving the problem of plant resistance to the undesirable effects of seed and soil infections both at the stage of their early development and during the vegetation and ripening process.
SUCCINIC HUMATE COMPLEX
The complex has a double effect: firstly, the interaction of succinic acid and humic substances improves the water-physical properties of the soil, activates the development of beneficial microflora, has a positive effect on the migration of nutrients and neutralizes the toxic effects of pesticides and heavy metals. Secondly, this complex comprehensively affects the growth processes, which have a complex multi-stage nature, and covers the entire period of plant vegetation.
Since the process of succinic acid formation takes place in mitochondria, increasing its concentration doe to VIMPEL-K® intensifies the processes of ATA formation, which leads to the activation of metabolic processes.
At the same time, the growth force of shoots increases, the germination energy increases by 5–8%, which makes it possible to form a required plant density.
Due to the peculiarities of the behavior of humic acids, their biological activity in solutions is at a rather low level. Therefore, DOLINA specialists conducted research to obtain modified humates that have a changed chemical nature and conformation. As a result, it was possible to increase the biological activity of the complex and, accordingly, its effectiveness.
This effect is mainly due to the chelating properties of the succinic humate complex. Carboxyl (COOH) and phenolic (OH) groups of humic acids are able to form chelating complexes with trace elements and in this form transport them into the plant body. They also provide a high exchange capacity of the soil. Quinones (CO=C6H4=OS) contain non-localized electrons in their structure that can capture, accumulate, and then give solar energy to the plant cell, thus increasing its level. Humates have a complex positive effect on the “water-plant-soil” system.
VIMPEL-K® activates the processes of cell division, enhances the growth of the root system and vegetative mass, increases the yield of dry matter, as a result of which the resistance of plants to drought increases by 25–30%. Ultimately, the impact of the complex allows you to enhance growth and increase the productivity and quality of plant products.
