The 2020 growing season proved extremely hard for crops. Large areas of winter and spring crops, perennial plantings and berry fields were affected by adverse weather: moisture shortage, sharp temperature swings and night frosts. As experience shows, signs of stress on cultivated plants may continue to appear during the coming months.
Stress on crops is accompanied by reduced metabolic processes, dominance of breakdown over synthesis, degradation of the protein-synthesizing apparatus, plant ageing and huge energy costs for restoring metabolism, which ultimately leads to lower productivity. Depending on the growth and development stage when crops are exposed to stress factors, their yield may fall by 5 to 70%.
What is the way out?
It has been proved that foliar treatment of plants with amino acids and phytohormones of the auxin and cytokinin groups combined with macro- and microelements strengthens resistance to phytostress and so ensures normal metabolic processes.
To bring plants out of stress, eliminate deficiency of certain elements and activate growth, we suggest carrying out foliar feeding with ECOORGANIC fertilizers in this period.
Depending on the situation in each particular field, we recommend using:
| Crop | Fertilizer | Application rate | Purpose |
| CORN | ECOLINE Zinc (Chelate) | 0.5–1.0 l/ha | for zinc deficiency, as the minimum necessary element of the technology |
| ECOLINE Phosphite (K-Zn) | 1.5–2.0 l/ha | for zinc and phosphorus deficiency | |
| ECOLINE Phosphite (K) | 1.5–2.0 l/ha | to eliminate phosphorus and potassium deficiency and strengthen root system growth | |
| ECOLINE Phosphite (K-Amino) | 1.5–2.0 l/ha | a special composition for overcoming plant stress and strengthening root system growth | |
| ECOLINE Universal Growth (Amino) | 1.0–2.0 l/ha | a special anti-stress fertilizer with a high content of amino acids and a balanced composition of macro- and microelements, to bring plants out of stress and strengthen growth processes | |
| GROS Rootgrowth | 1.0–1.5 l/ha | a special fertilizer with phosphorus in the form of phosphite, amino acids and phytohormones, recommended when plants lag in growth | |
| SUNFLOWER | ECOLINE Boron (Premium) | 1,0 l/ha |
to supply plants with an effective form of boron |
| ECOLINE Phosphite (K) | 1.5–2.0 l/ha | to eliminate phosphorus and potassium deficiency and strengthen root system growth | |
| ECOLINE Phosphite (K-Amino) | 1.5–2.0 l/ha | a special composition for overcoming plant stress and strengthening root system growth | |
| ECOLINE Universal Growth (Amino) | 1.0–2.0 l/ha | a special anti-stress fertilizer with a high content of amino acids and a balanced composition of macro- and microelements, to bring plants out of stress and strengthen growth processes | |
| SOYBEAN | ECOLINE Phosphite (K) | 1.5–2.0 l/ha | to eliminate phosphorus and potassium deficiency and strengthen root system growth |
| ECOLINE Phosphite (K-Amino) | 1.5–2.0 l/ha | a special composition for overcoming plant stress and strengthening root system growth | |
| ECOLINE Molybdenum (Complex) | 1,0 l/ha |
to ensure effective work of nitrogen-fixing bacteria |
