In recent years, stimulants and growth regulators for plants have become popular with summer residents, gardeners, and simply lovers of home flowerpots. Next, we consider in detail one of them, namely “Etamon”. Let's understand what this drug is and whether to use it.
Did you know? Natural plant growth regulators are called phytohormones and are produced by plants in small quantities. They have a regulatory function and are necessary for their livelihoods. Phytohormones are used in the fight against aging, in cosmetology.
"Etamon": a description of the drug
Growth factor for plants "Etamon" can be used for plants grown in open ground, and for those that grow in a greenhouse, greenhouse or under the film. They process both seeds and vegetative plants. First of all, the drug stimulates the growth of plant roots, providing cellular organelles with easily digestible forms of nitrogen and phosphorus.
If applied simultaneously with foliar fertilizer, this growth stimulator will increase its efficiency, it can also significantly improve the survival rate of flora representatives (especially in unfavorable environments), will be useful in low-volume hydroponics and in the event of a disruption of root development as a result of overcooling or poisoning of the plant.
For a wide range of decorative, vegetable, and woody species, the use of this growth promoter for plants is marked by a positive effect. Laboratory and greenhouse experiments have shown that "Etamon" retains its effectiveness in different climatic and soil conditions. The drug increases the germination of seeds and bulbs and regulates the size ratio of the roots and ground parts of the plant.
Active ingredient and mechanism of action of the drug
The active substance is dimethylphosphoric dimethyldihydroxyethylammonium. Due to its composition, the drug "Etamon" penetrates into the plants and stimulates their natural immunity, strengthens it. It helps to quickly and easily overcome the stress associated with a transplant. Activates development, growth of the root system.
Did you know? "Etamon" began to explore in 1984. It was registered in the late 80s of the twentieth century. It was used for fodder, table and sugar beet. Then it began to be used in production. But as a result of the collapse of the USSR and changes in the mechanism of sugar production, this tool was forgotten.
How to use "Etamon": instructions for use
Using "Etamon", you must adhere to the instructions for use. For plants grown in the soil, before the treatment itself, prepare the working solution, filling the sprayer with water by a third and adding the required amount of growth stimulant. Then add the missing volume of water and mix. Concentration for spraying - 10 mg / l, consumption - 400-600 l / ha.
For plants growing under conditions of drip irrigation, Etamon is applied to irrigation water, then the preparation, according to the instructions, is thoroughly mixed for about 5 minutes. Consumption in this case will be 0.15-0.2 liters per specimen.
After seed treatment, the solution is first used (adding to the root) when the first leaf appears. Each plant needs 50-80 ml of the prepared solution. Before you bring the seedlings to a permanent place, it is necessary to use the drug again, counting 100-150 ml per plant. "Etamon" is poured again 2-3 weeks after planting in order to enhance the development of the root system, this growth stimulator, according to the instructions, is needed in the amount of 100-150 ml for each specimen (low-volume substrates) or 150-200 ml (primer). After 2 and 2 weeks, repeated applications are necessary. Further, the drug is used if the root system dies. In the case of small-sized substrates - 100-150 ml of solution, soil - 150-200 ml. Subsequent application is necessary after 2 weeks a second time and after another 2 weeks a third time.
It is possible to use this plant growth enhancer during the whole growing season with an interval of 2 weeks with the calculation of 150-200 ml per specimen.
Important! Etamon foliar nutrition is used to stimulate the growth of lateral patches of cucumbers. Combination with 0.1% urea is possible.
The benefits of using the drug "Etamon" for cucumbers, tomatoes and other garden crops
This drug is primarily intended for use in growing cucumbers, tomatoes, sweet peppers, eggplant. Choosing which growth stimulants to use, note that Etamon guarantees high germination for seeds, mitigates the stress associated with transplanting seedlings, provides resistance to adverse conditions, and is perfect for rooting cuttings.
Did you know? Hormones of different plants can have a different chemical structure. In this regard, they are classified, taking into account the effect on the physiology of plants and the overall chemical structure.
Hazard Class and Security Measures
It belongs to moderately hazardous compounds, in other words - to the 3rd class of danger. The drug "Etamon", since the hazard class for bees is 4th, must be applied at a distance of 1-2 km from these insects (at a wind speed of 5-6 m / s) and a summer limit of 6-12 hours. Does not affect the useful flora and fauna. Subject to compliance is not phytotoxic.
