Liquid organomineral micro fertilizers help to activate germination processes, improve the germination of agricultural seeds, stimulate the immune system of plants, as well as protect them from fungi and viruses.
Therefore, before sowing, the seeds are treated with special formulations, which include active substances. Seed dressing before sowing can be done in different ways, and the effect of trace elements has a higher effect when compared with their introduction directly into the soil.
The purpose of pre-sowing treatment (etching) of seeds with trace elements
Complex seed dressing is the most important agronomic technique widely used today in the cultivation of agricultural products. To get a higher yield and improve its quality, you need not only dressing, when the pre-sowing treatment of seeds, but also liquid fertilizers, which contain a complex of trace elements.
To ensure effective germination, it is very important that the seed has a nutrient supply and availability of elements in the soil near the root system when germination will take place. This is the reason why seed dressing and a balanced fertilizer treatment are so important before sowing.
If micronutrients are applied directly into the soil, it is much more difficult for the seeds and root shoots to absorb them because hard-to-reach compounds are formed. In this regard, it is advisable to treat the seed using a complex organochelate fertilizer. Presowing treatment in this way stimulates germination of seeds and their further development.
The effectiveness and versatility of the composition, when the pre-sowing treatment is carried out, is achieved as follows:
- ratio of macronutrients (nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus) that stimulate growth and development of the root system, optimize osmotic pressure, help plants form proteins to build tissues;
- with chelated forms of micronutrients;
- growth hormones (auxins, cytokinins) in an optimal balance for cell division, when the seeds germinate, there is an intensive development of the root system;
- high concentration of zinc in an accessible form for the synthesis of auxins;
- amino acids as an available raw material to build the proteins of the future root culture;
- substances that provide a uniform coating of seeds, exclude the shedding of fertilizer when the seed material is packed and transported;
- acidification of the solution for optimal effect of fungicides and insecticides on seeds during their etching.
The effect of trace elements on seeds
Thanks to micronutrients in living organisms are carried out vital processes. They are essential to plant crops, even though they contain minimal amounts of them. Micronutrients include metals (zinc, manganese, copper, cobalt, vanadium, molybdenum), nonmetals (boron), halogens (iodine). They may be necessary or beneficial to plant crops. The former ensure the life cycle of the plant, its physiological functions, and take part in metabolism. The latter are the nutrients that make the crop grow and develop. These include cobalt, selenium, aluminum, iodine, silicon, etc.
Complex innovative fertilizers in liquid form contain micronutrients necessary for the plant, so they should be used when pre-sowing treatment. For example, the complex organochelate fertilizer “O-RISE All Inclusive”, which is produced by “Zoloto Poley”, contains phosphorus, potassium, sulfur, magnesium, sodium, boron, molybdenum, as well as a high concentration of trace elements (chelate form): iron, zinc, copper, manganese, molybdenum, cobalt, vanadium, chrome, nickel, lithium, selenium, barium, silver.
It is important to note that the popularity of micronutrient chelates is growing rapidly, which is due to the many benefits. Chelates are compounds where organic molecules are used to stabilize metal ions. This makes them compatible with dressing agents, no sediment is formed in the tank mixtures. Chelates are 15 times more effective when compared to micronutrient sulfates. It is for this reason that micronutrient complexes that are used when pre-sowing treatment of seeds should include precisely chelates, it is equally important to ensure an optimal balance of their dosage.
Micronutrients play a multifaceted role for plants by improving metabolism, eliminating dysfunction, ensuring the normal course of physico-biological processes, affecting respiration and photosynthesis. Microfertilizer, when pre-sowing seed treatment and dressing is carried out, increases the resistance of plants to bacteria and fungi, negative natural conditions (drought, high or low temperature, difficult wintering conditions, etc.).
If the amount of micronutrients will be insufficient, there are deviations from the norm in the growth and development of plants, they may even stop. If the amount of micronutrients is insufficient, many enzymes become less active. For example, when there is a lack of copper, the activity of enzymes, which includes this chemical element, decreases dramatically.
Economic efficiency of micronutrient application in pre-sowing treatment
Microfertilizer can include a single micronutrient or a complex of micronutrients. Complex fertilizers are very popular today, when carried out pre-sowing treatment, which includes the required elements and etchants. It is the complex organochelate fertilizer that allows you to get the maximum efficiency when the pre-sowing treatment is carried out.
Seed pre-treatment can be carried out in different ways: wet, dry, with wetting. The most effective is the wet treatment, when seeds are sprayed with a solution containing active ingredients and wetting agents. After dressing, the seed is dried and can be stored, preserving its consumer properties. Complex liquid fertilizer has a low consumption, distributed evenly. Different compositions can be mixed in the same working solution. Microfertilizer can be used for different types of crops, when pre-sowing treatment and dressing, which is its versatility.
The number of treatments, method of application and dose depend on the type of program. For example, when using the complex organochelate fertilizer from the company “Zoloto Poley” “O-RISE All Inclusive” for pre-sowing treatment of seeds you need 1 liter of the preparation for 1 ton of seeds.
As a result of microfertilizers, when pre-sowing treatment is carried out, an increase in crop yields and quality of 10-12% on average and higher is achieved.
Results of application of complex fertilizer with trace elements
The use of microfertilizers is a high-tech method that provides the opportunity to combine the treatment of seeds before sowing in the ground. A complex organochelate fertilizer optimizes micronutrient supply to the crop when it is in its earliest stages of development. Often pre-sowing treatment is combined with the use of substances that form a film, growth regulators and mordants.
Pre-sowing treatment, when a complex organochelate fertilizer is used, allows you to obtain the following efficiency:
- field germination of seeds increases;
- the initial growth and development of agricultural crops is accelerating;
- complex effect on the seed material when micro-fertilization is carried out processing and etching together with other means during contact treatment;
- the resistance of plants to fungal and viral diseases increases;
- the plant’s resistance to the adverse effects of environmental factors (drought, low or high temperature, etc.) increases.;
- a powerful root system is formed, which penetrates deep into the soil.
Thus, pre-sowing treatmen (etching) of seeds with the use of organomineral preparations with trace elements makes it possible to provide the plant with the necessary substances, protect it from diseases and natural factors, as well as improve quality and yield.
