Sodium humate is an organic and mineral fertilizer and an excellent plant growth stimulator. It contains a complex of compounds of humic and fulvic acids with phosphorus, nitrogen, potassium and trace elements that are necessary for nutrition of berry, vegetable, indoor and flower crops.
Sodium humate when used provides:
- An increase in biologically active components in plants.
- Better germination and survival when processing seeds and roots before planting.
- The accumulation of vegetables and fruits of useful substances and vitamins.
- Increased yield and accelerated ripening.
- Decrease in accumulation of toxic substances in plants.
Sodium humate: application
When soaking the seeds before planting, make a solution. 0.5 g of dry preparation take 1 liter of water. Seeds flooded with this mixture are left to swell.
For soil cultivation, sodium humate is evenly scattered on the surface before digging or loosening at the rate of 50 g per 10 m².
Spraying plants and watering the soil is carried out with an aqueous solution, the concentration of which is 1 g of dry concentrate per 10 liters of water. It is necessary to cultivate the soil and plantations at the rate of 5 liters per 1 m².
Vegetables and flowers grown from seeds are watered during planting, seedlings and 14 days after the last watering.
Plants planted in seedlings are watered when planting, when the color appears with an interval of 2 weeks.
Berry bushes and strawberries are processed in three stages: when the first leaves appear, and then after 14 days.
Indoor plants are watered in the spring during the growth period 3 times with an interval of 14 days.
Autumn processing is carried out by intensive irrigation with a solution: sodium humate - 3 g, water - 10 l. At the same time, all fruit plantations are watered for better “winter care”, and when planting new ones, for better engraftment.
Sodium humate is used to protect plants from the appearance of viral and fungal diseases, increase their frost resistance. The instructions contain detailed recommendations on the use of this drug. This growth stimulator is compatible with mineral fertilizers and with all kinds of biological and chemical substances necessary for plant protection.
In stores, this substance is sold in various forms. Sometimes it can be found in powder form, which dissolves well in water, but most often in solutions with different concentrations.
The best is humate, which is made from peat. All drugs are diluted according to the instructions. Solutions are prepared shortly before their use. It is necessary to strictly observe the dosage indicated in the instructions, otherwise you can lose the positive effect of the use of the drug.
When preparing a solution of sodium humate, safety precautions must be observed. Processing plants should be carried out using personal protective equipment. Keep this product in a place inaccessible to children and animals. If the solution gets on the skin of the body and eyes, rinse thoroughly with water. In case of sodium humate poisoning, the stomach should be rinsed with several glasses of water.
