Instructions for the use of hydrohumate, peat oxidate for cucumbers
Humates are often used to feed agricultural plants and indoor flowers. Without additional fertilization of the soil, it will not be possible to stimulate plant growth and increase the yield on the site. One of the most effective fertilizers is peat concentrate, which is harmless to plants and people. During peat processing, all toxic substances are released from it and a universal top dressing is obtained.
Characteristics of fertilizer for crops
Some gardeners prefer to grow crops without the use of mineral and organic fertilizers. It is, of course, possible to get a harvest in this case, but its quality and quantity may not be up to par. Over time, the nutrients in the soil become less and less and the plants lack trace elements. They start to grow poorly.
The use of dressings stimulates growth and has a beneficial effect on the formation of ovaries. One of the most effective fertilizers for agricultural crops is peat oxidate. It is an environmentally friendly product that consists of 4% concentrated peat.
After processing peat using a special technology, a dark brown liquid is obtained, which dissolves well in water. Its main advantage is considered to be absolute harmlessness to humans.
Use of peat oxidate
The fertilizer is used for feeding various cultivated plants. According to the manufacturer, peat enhances the work of other minerals. It is this quality that leads to such a positive effect. The use of peat oxidate saves on expensive mineral fertilizers.
The peat oxidate contains humic substances that have the following properties:
- The accumulation of nutrients in the soil and their retention there.
- Promotes the formation of mineral compounds that have a beneficial effect on plant growth.
- Improves soil structure.
- Regulates the oxidation process.
- Prevents the penetration of toxins into the soil.
Also, regular application of peat oxidate to the ground helps plants to better tolerate drought in summer and frost in winter. Helps plants recover faster after using herbicides.
What is included?
The peat oxidate contains a large number of useful microelements, which have a positive effect on the growth of agricultural plants.
What is included:
- 16 amino acids.
- Iron.
- Calcium.
- Zinc.
- Magnesium.
- Sulfur.
- Phosphorus.
- Selenium.
- Fulfic acids.
- Substances containing proteins.
- Humic acids.
- Polysaccharides and monosaccharides.
Fertilizing cultivated plants with peat oxide has a beneficial effect on their growth. Seed germination and the percentage of germination increases, the root system becomes more powerful, and the plants themselves are less likely to get sick. In addition, there is no need to use herbicides.
The use of fertilizer is especially important on poor soils and in soil that contains a large amount of nitrates, heavy metals and salts.
Instructions for use on the site
Depending on the crop, the amount and period of fertilization applied will vary. Instructions for the use of peat hydro-humate for cucumbers are similar to the use of fertilizers for other crops.
Features of the introduction of peat oxidate into the soil, depending on the culture:
- In potatoes, tubers are treated before planting. You need to apply fertilizer once a season. 50 ml of fertilizer are diluted in 4 liters of water. This amount is enough for 100 kg of potato tubers.
- Tomatoes are treated with top dressing several times per season. The first treatment is carried out before planting seeds. They are soaked in a solution in the ratio of 2 ml of fertilizer to 20 ml of water. The second top dressing is applied 3 weeks after the pick and a week before planting the seedlings in the ground. Then the bushes are watered every 7 days during the formation of buds.
- Cucumber seeds, like tomato seeds, are soaked in fertilizer before planting. Then watered after the appearance of 2 and 4 pairs of full-fledged leaves. After transplanting the seedlings to a permanent place, it is watered with peat oxide every 10 days. If there are signs of disease, the bushes are sprayed with peat.
- Seeds of carrots and beets are soaked 24 hours before planting them in the soil. Ratio peat 1 ml fertilizer to 100 ml of water. This amount is enough for 100 g of planting material.
- Before planting cabbage seedlings in a permanent place, the root system is treated in an oxidate-based talker. To prepare a talker, you will need 20 ml of oxidate and a bag of clay. Dilute the mixture in water and dip the roots of the seedlings into it before planting.
- Strawberries are watered every 14 days after planting in the beds. Subsequent watering is carried out every 20 days.
- Flowers are also watered with oxidate. For example, roses are processed during the awakening of the buds, in the phase of growing deciduous mass and forming buds. Subsequent treatments are carried out every 20 days.
- Top dressing of indoor plants is necessary during the period of growing deciduous mass. You need to water the flowers every 20 days. The solution is prepared in a ratio of 40 fertilizers per 10 liters of water. Depending on the size of the plant, each bush will require 200 to 1 liter of fertilizer.
Basically, the dosage of fertilizer, depending on the purpose of its use, is indicated on the packaging by the manufacturer. Experienced gardeners can measure the feeding "by eye" based on their experience. The main thing is not to overfeed the plants. Excess, as well as lack of nutrients, negatively affects plant growth. To understand that there is an excess of nutrients in the soil can be understood by the formation of ovaries. If the bushes are overfed, then the plants actively grow deciduous mass, but little ovaries are formed.
