Any gardener wants to get a good harvest from their beds, and it does not matter, this is a small dacha plot, with potatoes and cucumbers planted on it, or a large farming field. Since the soil is depleted over time, it is impossible to grow healthy plants without top dressing.
It is for this purpose that the natural fertilizer "Gumat + 7 Iodine" is used. Let us consider in detail its effect on our beds.
Description and release form
Since the land on our plots is used annually, often the same crops grow on it, summer residents do not have the opportunity to alternate them. With such intensive use, soils are depleted, the yield on these soils decreases, decreases. Earth needs to be fed with minerals and trace elements. This can be done with natural fertilizers:
- applying manure before spring plowing;
- additive to the soil chemical fertilizers.
Did you know? Humate is not a complex fertilizer, but it contains extracts from organic waste in the form of good bacteria.
Fertilizer composition
The basis for the creation of "Gumat + 7 Iodine" was the drug "Gumat 80". At one time he had a good reputation at the plant growers. The composition of "Humate + 7 Iodine" improved and modified, it is based on 85% humic acid. Its use on plant crops gives not only the humus needed for proper growth and nutrition, but also mineral supplements.
There are seven mineral supplements in this preparation:
- nitrogen;
- boron;
- zinc;
- manganese;
- molybdenum;
- iron.
Learn about the proper use of fertilizers potassium humate and sodium humate.
Summer dressing of beds increases the yield and the formation of fruits, promotes the development of powerful roots, does not allow the plant to accumulate nitrates and heavy metals in the cells.
Application "Gumat + 7 iodine": instruction
The method of application "Humate + 7 iodine" implies that the drug can and should be used in the form of foliar and foliar feeding of vegetative plants. Fertilizer is in the form of dark, loose granules. For convenience of working with a growth stimulator, it should be transferred from dry to liquid, that is, diluted with water according to the instructions for use. As soon as the humate granules dissolve in the liquid without residue, the solution can be used for its intended purpose. Iodine is an important mineral component for feeding tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini. For different stages in the growing season of vegetable or grain crops, there are different concentrations of fertilizing with humic salts, because for a more mature plant a large dose of mineral and humic fertilizers is needed.
On each pack with fertilizer, detailed recommendations are given and the application rates of the active substance for each crop are described in detail.
General recipe of the solution:
10 g of water is taken per 100 g of granulated dry matter and thoroughly stirred until the granules completely dissolve. The resulting solution is a concentrated base for the preparation of 100 liters of liquid fertilizer.
Important! Sometimes gardeners are too keen on feeding their beds, too often and without much need fertilizing them, while not adhering to any rules. Having received too much fertilizing, the plants can be depressed in their development and temporarily stop their growth.
But since in such small plots such a nutrient mixture is not needed, consider how to prepare small doses of liquid fertilizer: 1 g of fertilizer is placed in one third of a teaspoon. It is necessary to fill this amount of substance in a dark bottle and pour two liters of water. Shake well. The drug is ready to use. This solution is suitable for soaking seeds, flower bulbs, feeding indoor plants at the root and on the leaf.
All humic acids can be used for:
- soaking vegetable and cereal seeds before sowing;
- fertilizers of all types of seedlings in the stage of two true leaves;
- root feeding of plants 2 weeks after landing on a permanent place;
- leaf feeding vegetative plants.
Did you know? Humates and humic acids - it is an extract from soil humus, a concentrate of the residues of the vital activity of microorganisms, formed during the processing of organic substances in the soil. Humates are composed of sodium and potassium salts of humic acids.
Tillage
If the soil in your beds is depleted by the long-term cultivation of a monoculture, then the use of humate will help to increase its fertility. For this fertilizer does not need to translate into a liquid state, it is used in the form of granules, finely scattering on the surface of the site that needs the use of fertilizers. Fertilizers contained in 10 g of a substance are quite enough to restore fertility on 3 square meters of soil. Humic acid is desirable to make the spring or autumn, before plowing or repurchasing the soil. It is unacceptable to make fertilizer, scattering them on the snow-covered surface of the beds. When thawing snow, all nutrients from fertilizers can be washed out, without bringing the expected positive effect.
Seed soaking
Small seeds of vegetable plants (tomatoes, cucumbers, tobacco, pumpkin) are soaked in a solution of fertilizer "Humate 7+ iodine" for 48 hours. This time limit has an important rationale, since the seeds immersed in the nutrient solution should only be slightly covered with liquid.
After this period, the seeds are removed from the growth stimulator and placed on a damp cloth, for subsequent swelling and pecking. With a deeper penetration of the seed into the liquid, they may suffocate from lack of oxygen. Such seeds will never germinate.
- For pre-sowing seeds soaking, you need to dissolve 0.5 grams of the drug with one liter of water and shake until dissolved.
- Soaking planting material of root crops (potatoes, carrots, Jerusalem artichoke) occurs in several other conditions. Immediately before planting (2-4 hours), such planting material is soaked in a nutrient solution of humic acids.
- Potato bushes treated with growth stimulants increase yields by more than 25%, compared to untreated control areas of the field.
- For preplant processing of potatoes, 5 g of humate with 10 liters of water must be diluted until completely dissolved.
Important! A drug "HUMATE + 7 IODINE" does not possess all the necessary elements for normal growth and fruiting of garden and garden plants. To humic acids need to add a mineral complex. For planned applications, it is necessary to alternate humic, nitrogen, and complex mineral supplements.
Processing and watering plants
For vegetable plants, the “Gumat + 7 Iodine” fertilizer helps to build up a strong root system and a strong, thick stem for thin and delicate stalks of seedlings. The instructions for the drug indicated and how to properly dilute, and at what intervals in time to water the seedlings.
Feed the seedlings begin 2 weeks after the first loops of plants from the soil. This procedure can then be carried out every 14 days, while preparing the solution, strictly following the dosage indicated on the pack for use. The “Gumat + 7 Iodine” fertilizer is only beneficial, and if the instructions for using the solution are strictly followed, it is impossible for them to harm the plant's pet. The use of humic acids is useful for young and adult plants at all stages of the growing season. You can make feed mixtures: directly under the root of growing crops by irrigation (after preparing the solution according to the norm), or by spraying the dressing over the sheet.
Toxicity
Humic acids belong to low-toxic substances, they are classified by hazard class 4, when using them it is not necessary to use protective equipment, gloves and outerwear.
Humic acids do not accumulate in the soil, they are not dangerous for any kinds of insects, plants and birds.
Important! Despite its safety, the recommendations for the use of the drug indicated that the last treatment of vegetative plants should be 14-21 days before the harvest begins.
Compatibility with other means
Practical experiments have shown that the use of humate together with other useful substances (pesticides, insecticides) gives an excellent result and significant savings in human and material resources. The number of treatments carried out (with combined tank mixtures) decreases several times, and in the grown fruits the nitrate content drops significantly. Nitrogen and potash supplements can be mixed in tank mixtures with humic acids.
Did you know? Phosphate fertilizers need to be eliminated from fertilizing with joint with humates, since insoluble compounds are obtained as a result. They are introduced into the ground separately from each other.
Storage conditions and shelf life
HUMAT retains all useful functions for three years from the date of issue. If after dilution of a concentrated base (100 g per 10 l of water) an unused concentrate is left at the gardener, then pour it into a jar or a bottle of dark glass; Such a concentrate will not lose its beneficial properties for 30 days, but for this it is necessary to store the container in a cool and dark place.
The earth feeds us and our children, it is impossible to take predatory and thoughtlessly, without giving anything in return. Having grown a good harvest, you need to replenish the earth spent resources, adding organic and chemical elements to the ground.
