Spring sowing is not far off and it is time to think about preparing seed of spring cereals, which are sown first. In modern farming conditions spring cereals are less widespread but still remain among the leading crops, with important food, feed and export value. Obtaining a high yield of good quality from these crops is not an easy task for agronomists, especially in the 2022 season. High prices for fertilizers and crop protection products in spring will be a serious limiting factor, so using every possible means of raising yield is more relevant than ever.
Pre-sowing seed treatment with special fertilizers at the same time as crop protection is a responsible procedure that affects plant growth and development. It is among the most effective ways of using them. For spring cereals this is very important, because in the first stages of growth and development it is important to keep a fast growth rate so as to use the available moisture resources as effectively as possible.
The most effective composition for pre-sowing seed treatment is Gros Rootgrowth at a dose of 1.0 + Ecoline Phosphite K 0.5 l/t of seed. The well-chosen composition and forms of active ingredients strengthen the growth energy of the seedling and young plant (amino acids and phosphorus in the form of phosphite), and the ratio of auxins to cytokinins intensifies cell division in meristem tissues.
- rapid growth of the root system and, as a result, faster and stronger formation of aboveground mass;
- faster rates of carbon assimilation in photosynthesis;
- increased resistance to disease agents;
- higher dry matter content, in particular sugars, which positively affects yield formation.
