Spring cereal crops (wheat, barley, oats) occupy smaller sown areas than winter ones, but this does not make them less important in our country's farming. Their sown area can grow considerably if winter crops overwinter badly, so these crops are also called «insurance» crops. A feature of the technology of growing spring crops is that their growing season is considerably shorter, and this is exactly what prompts sowing as early as possible. Early sowing is often done in still insufficiently warmed soil, so passage of the key development stages falls under the influence of unfavorable weather conditions. Both the short growing season and the influence of stress factors lower their yield compared with winter crops. Balanced nutrition largely helps offset the negative effect of weather conditions on crop growth and development in the early stages of organogenesis and strengthen growth energy. The faster and more fully plants tiller, the higher the chances for the plant to use productively the soil moisture reserves, which are often among the limiting factors. Treating seed with a complex of micro- and macroelements at the same time as dressing effectively solves the task of ensuring balanced nutrition in the stages from germination to the end of tillering. For this purpose pre-sowing seed treatment should be carried out with the highly effective composition made by Ecoorganic, Ecoline Universal Seed Chelates and Ecoline Phosphite K.
Ecoline Universal Seed Chelates is a complex microfertilizer with a high content of nitrogen and potassium and a complex of microelements as 100% EDTA chelates, selected in the ratios needed to activate growth processes in seedlings and supply young plants with mineral nutrients until they switch to stable feeding from their own root system.
Application rate: 0.5 l/t of seed.
Ecoline Phosphite K is a highly concentrated special fertilizer containing phosphorus in the form of phosphite. Phosphorus in this form is quickly absorbed by the plant and promotes activation of root system growth. An important accompanying effect of phosphorus in the form of phosphite is stimulation of the synthesis of a specific group of proteins, phytoalexins, which strengthen plant immunity and inhibit the development of fungal and bacterial plant disease agents.
Application rate: 0.5–0.8 l/t of seed.
