APPLICATION ON CORN
Application of the formulation for seed treatment VIMPEL®-K 0.5-1 kg/t with stimulant properties and complex micronutrient fertilizer ORAKUL® seeds 1.5 L/t results in:
- increase of the germination rate and field germination of seeds up to 8%, which makes it possible to generate a given plant stand density;
- more active development of root and secondary root system, thus increasing drought resistance by 21% and heat resistance by 14%;
- increase of the leaf surface area and vegetative mass of plants;
- improved resistance to diseases.
For a detailed view click on the photo:
- accelerates the metabolic processes in tissues, plants absorb more intensively nutrients from the soil and from micronutrients when applying foliar feeding, fertilizing effectiveness is increased by 30%;
- protects plants against pesticide stress in the case of both soil-applied and postemergent herbicides;
- decreases water consumption ratio by 18%, plants use moisture more sparingly;
- increases drought resistance by 18% and heat resistance by 13%;
- increases leaf surface area;
- improves the photosynthetic activity, that is evident due to intensive green color of leaves;
- increases productivity by 15% comparing to treatment with herbicides without any additives.
Please note: VIMPEL 2® plant growth stimulant is approved for use in organic agriculture.
Application of micronutrient fertilizer ORAKUL® colofermine of zinc (application rate 1.0 – 2.0 L/ha) under condition of preliminary seed treatment with the formulation VIMPEL®-K, provides extra yield up to 210 kg/ha, when adding ORAKUL® seeds – 360 kg/ha.
The technology also includes the microfertilizer ORAKUL® colofermine of phosphorus (application rate 1-4 L/ha), which ensures full growth and development of corn plants, and also assists in yield increase.
According to the data of Ukrainian research institutions:
- seed treatment: VIMPEL®-K + ORAKUL® seeds increases productivity by 280 – 560 kg/ha or 15 – 26%;
- treatment in the phase of 3-5 leaves: VIMPEL 2® + ORAKUL® multicomplex provides extra yield 380 kg/ha;
- if adding to the previous scheme treatment in the phase of 7 – 8 leaves with the stimulant VIMPEL 2®, extra yield will amount to 730 kg/ha, and if adding both VIMPEL 2® and ORAKUL® multicomplex – to 870 kg/ha.
Water matters!
Problems arising from certain water characteristics should not be underestimated, as they can directly affect the effectiveness of tank mixtures through sedimentation, hydrolysis of pesticides, runoff of the working solution or insufficient wetting of the leaf surface during foliar treatments of plants.
Alkaline water. As a rule, if the pH is 7.5 or higher, a number of pesticides undergo half-life in a short period of time (0.5-3 hours), therefore the pH value of the solution is an important factor in ensuring the effectiveness of all the components of the tank mixture. The pH stabilizer REFERI® is used to acidify the tank mixture.
Hardness salts. Hard water contains an excess of hardness ions (magnesium, calcium, iron), which has a negative effect on the components of the tank mixture, up to the formation of sediment in the sprayer tank and clogging of nozzles. AUDITOR® water softener will help to neutralize the effect of hardness salts. At the same time, the formulation forms biologically active chelated natural complexes with cations of hardness salts, converting them into a form that is easily absorbed by plants.
Adjuvants AD’YUTANT®, FORTEL®, PAKT® solve the problems of runoff or insufficient wetting of the leaf surface with the working solution. In the tank mixture, they perform the function of a surfactant, which allows to increase the effectiveness of the components of the tank mixture, prevent preparation runoff and evenly distribute them on the surface of plants.
