Seed treatment with the formulation for planting material treatment VIMPEL®-K 0.5-1 kg/t with stimulant properties and complex micronutrient fertilizer ORAKUL® seeds 1.0-1.5 L/t results in:
  • increase in the germination energy and field germination rate up to 5%, which makes it possible to generate a required stand density of plants;
  • more active development of root system, thus increasing drought resistance by 20-25%;
  • increase in the vegetative mass of plants and leaf surface area by 16-32%;
  • better effectiveness of photosynthesis.

Application of the plant growth stimulant VIMPEL 2® in the phases from 2 true leaves till flowering (application rate 0.5 L/ha): 
  • accelerates the metabolic processes in tissues, plants absorb more intensively nutrients from the soil and from microfertilizers when applying foliar feeding, fertilizing effectiveness is increased by 30%;
  • protects plants against pesticide stress in the case of applying both soil-applied and postemergent herbicides, plants acquire a distinctive green color and proceed growing as soon as in 2 days after the treatment; 
  • increases leaf surface area;
  • increases chlorophyll content, resulting in an increase of photosynthetic efficiency;
  • decreases water-consumption ratio, plants use moisture more sparingly;
  • increases drought and heat resistance; 
  • increases productivity.

Please note: VIMPEL 2® plant growth stimulant is approved for use in organic agriculture.

    EFFECTIVE PLANT GROWTH STIMULANTS AND MICRO-FERTILIZERS FOR SUNFLOWERS
Adding of the complex universal micronutrient fertilizer ORAKUL® multicomplex (application rate 1.0-2.0 L/ha) at this time provides the plant with all the necessary nutrients, regardless of changes in weather conditions or the physiological state of the soil. Besides due to it:
  • diameter of anthodium increases;
  • weight of 1000 seeds increases.

Microfertilizer ORAKUL® colofermine of potassium (application rate 1.5 – 4.0 L/ha) has a positive effect on product quality, namely:

  • the content of oil, vitamins and other nutrients in the grains increases;
  • the weight of 1000 seeds increases, as well as their good quality;
  • resistance to pests, diseases and drought increases;
  • the development of the root system and the overall development of plants improves.
Application of micronutrient fertilizer ORAKUL® colofermine of boron 1.0-1.5 L/ha is determined by increased demand of sunflower in boron. When there is a lack of it, plant growth is inhibited, number of flowers is decreased and fertilization is disordered. Combined application of ORAKUL® multicomplex in the phase of 2nd – 4th pair of true leaves productivity increases up to 360 kg/ha, in the case of adding VIMPEL 2® – up to 540 kg/ha.

Application of micronutrient fertilizers ORAKUL® (S, Fe, Zn, Cu, Mn, Mg) is conducted when there is deficiency of the corresponding elements.

According to the data of the leading Ukrainian research institutions:
  • seed treatment: VIMPEL®-K + ORAKUL® seeds and treatment in the phase of 2nd – 4th pair of true leaves with VIMPEL 2® + ORAKUL® multicomplex + ORAKUL® colofermine of boron and additional treatment in the phase of 6th – 8th pair of leaves with VIMPEL® + ORAKUL® multicomplex ORAKUL® colofermine of boron increases productivity by 730 kg/ha.
Combined application of stimulants and micronutrient fertilizers of Dolina company is an economically justified measure. Those agricultural enterprises, which implemented these formulations into sunflower cultivation technology, get economic return of 6-9 times the cost. 

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.
