Epin extra for seedlings: features and application of the drug

Experienced summer residents with many years of experience have been using epin extra for more than one year, since the capabilities of the drug are really impressive. Let's try to figure out what the secret is: is epin a growth stimulant or something more?

Characteristics

Epin extra is a human-made analogue of a natural plant growth stimulator, which has a pronounced anti-stress effect. Thanks to the special components that are contained in the product, seedlings, seeds and adult plants have protective immunity from the negative effects of the environment. By treating seedlings, seeds or adult plants with a substance with epin or zircon, you protect them from temperature drops, dry periods, sudden morning and night frosts, heavy rains, etc. The yield and ripening rate of fruits treated with epin extra is an order of magnitude higher. than untreated plants. Fertilizer can be used both during the growing season of the plant and for soaking the seeds.

Epin is an excellent seedling agent

For the first time the drug with the name "Epin" was produced more than ten years ago, however, due to the massive flow of counterfeits, in 2003 it was discontinued. A little later, he was replaced by the more perfect Epin extra. Seed treatment promotes accelerated germination of seeds, bulbs and tubers of crops. Epin, like zircon, can also be used in the process of rooting cuttings and seedlings outdoors. Fertilization favorably affects the development of the root system, and also accelerates the ripening of fruits for several weeks.

One of the most important merits of epin, however, like zircon, is the protective properties of the treated culture from the negative effects of the environment. Unfortunately, it is beyond a person's strength to predict when the drought will end or when heavy rains will stop, and the use of a stimulant will greatly increase the culture's resistance to negative factors. Zircon, like epin, when used correctly, can reduce the nitrate and pesticide content of ripe fruit. As you can see, the work of the stimulant is really tangible, while the spectrum of its action is aimed entirely at the development of a healthy plant.

Application

Despite the fact that the fertilizer epin and zircon have a beneficial effect on plants, the stimulant must be used carefully and according to the instructions. Treatment of seeds and plants during the growing season should be carried out only with gloves and a mask. After work, you must thoroughly wash your hands with soap and rinse your mouth. Store epin, like zircon, in a cool, dark place, avoid contact with food, children and animals. The use of fertilizer does not harm seedlings, bees and fish, does not pollute ground and surface waters, and also reduces the level of nitrates in fruits.

The form of the stimulant is an ampoule of 0.25 mg, that is, approximately 40 drops. After contact with water, the preparation is fully usable within 24 hours, however, if possible, it is better to use the prepared substance immediately. Typically, one ampoule of spray stimulator is used for 5 liters of water.

Fertilizer accelerates plant growth and maturation

Soak seeds, tubers and bulbs of fruit crops as follows:

  1. Vegetable crops (tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and eggplants). The seeds are soaked for 18-20 hours in 20-degree water (100 ml of water - 1-2 drops of epin).
  2. Flowers - 18-20 hours in water at the rate of 4 drops of stimulant per 100 ml.
  3. Bulbs - 24 hours (for 2 liters of water, 1 ml of Epin extra).
  4. Cuttings - 12 hours (for 2 liters of liquid 1 ml of fertilizer).
  5. Potato tubers must be sprayed with a mixture of water and fertilizer before planting (for 50 kg of potatoes, 250 ml of water and 1 mg of the product).

The fertilizer application method for each crop has its own phase:

  • potatoes and tomatoes - the beginning of flowering or the phase of bud formation;
  • root crops - as soon as the first shoots appear;
  • cucumbers - when 2-3 leaves appear, followed by repetition during the period of bud appearance;
  • pepper - budding and flowering phase;
  • bulbous flowers - when buds appear;
  • fruit and berry crops are processed during the budding period and repeat the procedure after 20 days;
  • in a "stressful" situation (drought, showers or frost), the crop should be sprayed every 10 days until the plant is fully healed.

How to spray plants

Spraying the plant during the growing season is carried out with the following composition: dissolve 1 ml of the Epin stimulator in 5 liters of water and mix thoroughly. Before the procedure, it is advisable to remove damaged and dry leaves, branches and shoots. Spraying with zircon and epin is necessary in the morning or late evening, when the daylight is dim. When spraying with zircon, it is important to evenly wet all the leaves of the plant. It is better to use a ready-made product right away. The processing period for the plant must be in accordance with the instructions.

Benefits of a biostimulant

Stimulant Epin, like zircon, has a number of undeniable advantages:

  • harmless to humans and soil;
  • reliably protects the plant from diseases and the environment;
  • it is permissible to use with many fruit crops and houseplants;
  • justified price-quality ratio.
