Fertilizer epin instruction. Stress adaptogen "Epin extra" for seedlings - instructions for use

Plants are living organisms: they suffer from the invasion of insects, they do not tolerate temperature changes, they become infected with viruses and fungi. There are many drugs that will scare away pests, kill fungal spores and viruses of all diseases, will be useful for cucumbers and tomatoes, and help grow cherry-sized currants. "Epin" rightfully takes pride of place among them.

Characteristics of the drug Epin

"Epin" is not a fertilizer and not a medicine for plants, the drug cannot cure plants from fungal or viral diseases.

Reference. Fertilizers are substances that improve soil structure, provide additional nutrition to plants, supplying them with chemical components that are absent or present in insufficient quantities in the composition of the plants themselves.

"Epin" does not supply plants with anything. Why then is it needed? Manufacturers present their drug as a universal anti-stress adaptogen. Adaptogens are preparations (artificial or natural) that increase the resistance of plant cells to a wide range of physical, chemical or biological effects.

Simply put, Epin, penetrating into plants, increases their own reserve forces, wakes up dormant cells, stimulating their growth and development. At the same time, resistance to adverse weather conditions, external influences of an aggressive environment is growing. That is why the germination of seeds increases and harvested crop, when treated with epin, more by 10-15%.

Epibrassinolide

Epibrassinolide - the active ingredient of the growth stimulator Epin

The strongest stress adaptogens contained in every plant cell are brassinosteroids (brassinolides). These phytohormones are responsible for the life support of the plant in adverse conditions: lower and higher temperatures, increased humidity, short-term droughts, excessive exposure to pesticides, diseases, pests, etc.

The amount of brassinosteroids in cells is so small, and the effect on plants is so huge, that scientists invented a synthetic brassinolide and called it epibrassinolide. Epibrassinolide is identical to its biological counterpart and has the same properties.

It is possible to isolate brassinolides from plants, but this is a very expensive and unproductive process. Today, scientists have learned how to extract brassinolides from chestnut, flower pollen, catharanthus flower, tea leaves, and other plants. To obtain a small amount of a substance, it is necessary to process tons of raw materials or collect tens of kilograms of pollen!

Epibrassinolide is the main active ingredient of the drug "Epin".

The use of growth stimulator Epin

To properly apply "Epin", carefully read the instructions for use. Do not change doses and dilute the drug correctly.

For processing indoor plants it is recommended to place the flower in a dark, light-tight bag for 12 hours. Undoubtedly, to improve the efficiency of processing, it is necessary to exclude bright lighting, but keep the plant without air long time no, no need.

• The solution is prepared before use, the finished solution can be stored for no more than 48 hours, in a closed container in a dark place.
• Processing is carried out in the evening, for this you can use the bathroom.
• The plant to be treated is placed in the bath and from a distance of 40-50 cm, with a fine spray, we process the entire surface of the plant (leaves and stems).
• We leave it in the dark until morning, this time is enough to penetrate into the deeper layers of the plant and begin exposure to the active substance.
• If it is necessary to spray planting vegetables or horticultural crops, it is better to do the same in the evening in dry, calm weather. Carefully inspect the plants, if you notice signs of disease or pest damage, be sure to carry out additional processing pesticides or add them to the epin solution.
• You can spray the plants several times, with an interval of no more than 12 to 14 days., this is due to the fact that the decay period of the active substance is 14 days. It is not worth watering more often, the substance does not accumulate in the plant in reserve. And it is not necessary to increase the intervals between spraying plants: in two weeks it will remain without protection. Damaged plants are treated to a stable positive result.

Difference from other stimulants

Epin, the only remedy that stimulates the plant itself.

Today, gardeners and gardeners are armed with several types of growth stimulants. They differ in their composition and effect on plants. There are two main groups of plant growth stimulants: based on humic acids and those containing phytohormones.

Some stimulants of a wide spectrum of action, others are responsible for root formation, others help to preserve the ovary and improve the quality of the fruit. All of them act on plants forcibly. And only "Epin" stimulates the plant itself, increasing its vitality.

Pride of the Nation

"Epin" is one of the best domestic drugs developed by Russian scientists. Nest M is both a developer and manufacturer, first of Epin, and since 2003 of the drug Epin Extra. IN given time there is no drug with the name "Epin" on the market. Manufacturers not only renamed the tool, but also strengthened it protective properties and better purified active substance.

In addition to Russia, this drug in industrial scale used by China. Other countries have their own plant growth stimulants, and for Russian manufacturers agricultural products "Epin" is a reliable assistant. Probably, there is not a single lover of a vegetable grower who would not use this tool.

The main disadvantage of Epin is that the decomposition of the active substance occurs in sunlight.

The disadvantages of "Epin" include the rapid decomposition of the active substance under the influence of sunlight, so the treatment of plants cannot be carried out in the daytime.

Also, the drug loses its properties, getting into an alkaline environment. It is diluted only in boiled water or acid (citric, acetic or any other) is used to neutralize the alkali. 2-3 drops of acid are added to a liter of water.

Security measures and first aid

The drug belongs to the IV (slightly dangerous) group. It does not pose a danger to animals and insects. But, nevertheless, security measures should be taken when using Epin.

1. Do not smoke, drink water, eat during the processing of plants.
2. Do not spray without personal protective equipment.
3. Do not use the container for diluting the solution for other purposes.
4. Do not scatter used ampoules and packaging.

If you accidentally spilled the solution on yourself, inhaled vapors, or the product got on your mucous membranes of the eyes and mouth, stop work immediately, undress, rinse big amount water that has entered the solution and, if necessary, call a doctor.

Important! Even the most harmless substances, with individual intolerance, can cause an allergic reaction.

Storage

The drug "Epin", as well as other means for plants, should be stored in a place specially designated for this. It is better to use a locker with a lockable door for this: in this way all funds will be inaccessible to children and animals, and the sun's rays will not be able to destroy them. The shelf life of closed ampoules is 3 years from the date of manufacture.

"Epin" is used in small doses, therefore, before use, the ampoule is opened and a medical syringe is filled with the contents. After that, the empty ampoule is disposed of, and the syringe is placed in plastic bag and store in the refrigerator, spending the product as needed.

Epin for plants is an analogue of natural biostimulants, created not by nature, but by man. He enjoys well-deserved attention among those who cultivate different cultures in gardens and kitchen gardens, as well as among lovers of indoor plants. In addition to the growth-stimulating effect, Epin also has an anti-stress effect, is an adaptogen. All crops that have been treated with Epin activate their own defenses, increase immunity to dry weather, severe temperature changes, hail and downpours, and late spring frosts. The yield of crops after the application of Epin increases by 15%, and fruit ripening is faster by 1-2 weeks.

When buying a drug, you need to know that its correct name, marked on the package, is Epin-Extra. Epin was discontinued a long time ago, and Epin-Extra was created with an improved composition and protection against counterfeiting - it received a state patent. Therefore, you need to purchase only Epin-Extra, and everything else is fake.

Below is a list of beneficial effects that the use of the drug will give for various garden, garden, indoor plants:

The drug can be used different ways, but the pre-planting treatment of seedlings shows the greatest efficiency. The product is completely safe for animals, nature, humans, and therefore Epin can be used without fear not only in the cultivation of flowers, but also in the cultivation of vegetables and fruits.

Having acquired Epin, it is important to store it correctly, only in a dark place. In daylight, the destruction of its active component begins. Also, the agent will be destroyed when alkaline substances penetrate into it, therefore, in the manufacture of a working solution, it is important to use only clean boiled water. To improve the properties of Epin, you can even slightly acidify the water by adding a little vinegar, lemon or boric acid.

Composition

The drug is a concentrated mass of a substance created through nanotechnology. It's called epibrassinolide, and it's completely synthetic, but safe for plants. This component is responsible for the active flow of biochemical processes in the vegetative mass of crops, protects them from early aging, diseases, bad weather conditions, that is, it is an immunostimulant and adaptogen. Naturally, even Epin will not be able to reanimate plants completely affected by diseases, but the drug can help to cope with less severe problems of crops.

Instructions for use

The product is available in 0.25 ml ampoules (about 40 drops). 1 ampoule goes for about 5 liters of water (a standard solution that is suitable for most crops). There are some features of preparing a solution from this fertilizer:

• Dissolved, the drug will retain beneficial features only 2 days, but it is best to apply it immediately after production.
• Mix the solution very carefully.
• Keep the solution in the sun, or allow it to stay in an open place for a long time.
• If storage is necessary, the diluted fertilizer should be placed in cool and dark places.
• Solution consumption for different cultures is not the same, so you need to carefully read the data below.
• The frequency of treatments is once every 14 days, more frequent spraying simply does not make sense.
• All treatments should be done in the evening, after the cessation of direct sunlight.
• The drug is safe, but it is still better to wear gloves when using it.

Most of all, Epin is suitable for young plants, for seedlings, as well as for those crops that have experienced stress during exposure to adverse weather conditions or pest infestation, disease infection. Before the processing procedure, it is necessary to remove all damaged branches, shoots, if possible, collect pests and their larvae, loosen the soil, apply fertilizer, etc. When spraying, one should not forget about the study of all parts of plants - branches, leaves, including their lower part. It is possible to complete the irrigation of plants as the desired result is achieved - after an increase in yield, recovery. For preventive purposes, garden and garden "pets" can be processed three times during the growing season.

The consumption of the drug for pre-planting, pre-sowing treatment:

During the growing season, all crops can also be treated with Epin, the rate for preparing the solution is standard, the consumption is until the leaves and shoots are well wetted. Irrigation times are as follows:

• Tomatoes - the beginning of budding, then - the flowering phase of the first brush
• Potato - budding
• Cucumbers - the appearance of the 2-3rd leaf, then - budding
• Root crops - emergence of shoots
• Eggplant, pepper - budding, then flowering
• Onion sets - phase 4-5 leaves
• Cabbage - phase of a full leaf rosette
• Flowers - the appearance of buds
• fruit, berry plants- budding. Then another 20 days later.

Price

The cost of 1 package of the drug (1 ml, 4 ampoules) is approximately equal to 13 rubles.

Quite often, plant care recommendations contain information on the use of immunomodulators (phytohormones). They are artificially synthesized phytohormones and growth regulators. The preparations do not act on pests and diseases that damage plants, but help to increase immunity, improve rooting. Treated seeds germinate better and faster. Producers represent big choice similar funds. Consider what epin is and its instructions for use specifically for indoor plants, composition, action and precautions.

Although in demand as garden plots as well as among amateurs indoor floriculture.

Components

The drug is based on a concentrated mass of the substance epibrassinolide, created by the latest technologies. It is completely synthetic, but does not pose a threat to plants.

Epin in its pure form is an alcoholic solution of this substance, its concentration is 0.25 g / l. Since mass fakes were revealed, production was suspended.

In 2003, Epin-extra appeared on the country's market - worthy replacement previous. It contains a synthetic substitute highest quality. The concentration of epibrassinolide in solution is much lower. In addition to the active substance, the composition contains ammonia and shampoo for improved adhesion to the leaves, which made its use more convenient. The production of the active substance of this drug is carried out using microbiological technology. Each package contains instructions that allow you to use the drug correctly.

In stores you can find a tool absolutely similar to epin - "Epin-maxi". The concentration of its active substance epibrassinolide is 0.025 g/l. This makes it easy to obtain a highly effective working solution. The product is sold in ampoules in a concentrated form. You can buy it in specialized stores.

Working solution

To prepare a working solution of epin extra, the instructions for use indicate the exact proportions for the solution. According to the instructions, it is necessary to dilute 1 ampoule of epin in 5 liters of water. To prepare a solution of a smaller volume, you can use a syringe to determine the right amount drug. It is worth considering that the ampoule contains 40 drops of the substance, which will make it easy to calculate the desired proportion.

The concentration of the solution depends on the purpose of its use. For soaking the bulbs, 1 ampoule of the substance is used per two liters of water, which can also be used for cuttings and for forcing the bulbs. To process seeds per ampoule, you need 1 liter of water.

soil in flower pots cannot be completely neutral, therefore it is more efficient to spray with epin. Watering can lead to chemical reaction soil with substance. To prepare a solution for indoor plants, 5 liters of water per ampoule are required. The proportion can be reduced.

Even after partial processing, the product is well absorbed.

Features of the use of epin for indoor flowers

For use, you should take a solution prepared strictly according to the instructions. Even with a small overdose, it can adversely affect the development of the plant. Properly diluted substance is practically not dangerous for humans and belongs to III-B hazard class. Ready solution should be stored in a dark place. The period of use is not more than 48 hours.

The action of the drug

Although the tool is used for garden plants, with its help it is possible to carry out the processing of those that grow in the house, as a growth regulator, anti-stress adaptogen and stimulant of the immune system.

It is responsible for the biochemical processes actively taking place in their vegetative mass, fights against early aging, diseases, protects against the influence negative conditions. That is, it performs the functions of an immunostimulant and adaptogen. Of course, if the plant is completely affected by the disease, it cannot be restored. But at less difficult problems tool will work without difficulty. Appin is different persistent odor alcohol. It has good foam.

Due to instant absorption, the effectiveness of the drug increases. And for two weeks he takes part in the synthesis of plants. For this reason, reprocessing ahead of time meaningless.

The drug works in the following way:

• A houseplant purchased in a store is going through a period of adaptation at home due to changing growing conditions. It is not recommended to transplant it for 3 weeks. potted flower Being on the windowsill for a long time can get stressful. Its condition is worsened by drafts, pests, poor lighting and other factors. To help plants recover faster, an immunostimulant is often used.
• Preparing them for winter dormancy, treatment with an epin solution should be carried out. The same procedure is necessary at the end of winter.
• When transplanting, they need support to accelerate their rooting, growth and development.

Depending on the purpose of the application, the number of sprays for indoor plants should be:

• For prevention, spraying is carried out 1 time in 30 days.
• When stressful situations processing is carried out 3 - 4 times in 30 days, and until they become completely healthy.
• To stimulate growth, spraying is carried out in March-April three times, the same number of procedures is carried out in July-August and October.

Epin is an environmentally friendly substance, and it can be used in combination with other drugs. For example, by spraying a solution of a substance, you can add the necessary fertilizers.

To achieve a positive effect, you must follow some rules.

Important! It is worth noting that some factors affect its qualitative state. An alkaline environment can lead to its decay. For this reason, boiled water is necessary during the preparation of the solution. Sometimes a small portion of vinegar or a few grains of boric acid are added to acidify it. Ultraviolet also negatively affects the action of the biostimulant, so treatment is recommended in the morning or evening.

Advantages

It is worth highlighting some of its advantages:

• The percentage of seed germination increases, the forces for germination increase;
• The seedlings take root successfully;
• Young and adult plants successfully overcome adverse factors: insufficient lighting, strong temperature fluctuations, drought, excessive watering, damage from pests and diseases;
• The harmful effects of nitrates, pesticides, and radionuclides are neutralized in the soil.
• Increases resistance to diseases;
• Plants are actively rejuvenated.

Important! Epin is considered a natural substance and is absolutely non-toxic and combines well with many fungicides and insecticides.

Necessary Precautions

Treatment with a solution of the drug occurs when using means that provide protection to the human body:

• Smoking, drinking and eating during processing is prohibited.
• After completing the work, wash your face and hands with soap and rinse your mouth.
• For storage, a dry, cool room with a temperature of 14⁰–23⁰ is used. Products and medicines should be located separately from the drug.
• It is located in places where there is no access to children and animals.
• Fire is dangerous for the drug.

Using substances for processing, it is not allowed to mix epin with preparations of another type.

Epin is a plant growth biostimulator. It is the number one choice for domestic gardeners and florists. At least once, but every summer resident tried and appreciated it highly effective agent. For those who have not yet bought such a drug, it makes sense to get acquainted with it. detailed instructions on the use of Epin will be given in this article.

Some use Epin-Extra or Maxi as a fertilizer. But it should be noted that such a remedy is not a top dressing, a medicine. It is not capable of curing a culture from viral or fungal infections. Fertilizer is a set of certain substances that improve the structure of the earth, provide the plant with the necessary nutrients.

Characteristics, advantages and disadvantages of the biostimulant

The main active ingredient of the drug is epibrassinolide.

Epin is sold in ampoules of a milliliter each. To prepare the solution, the contents are diluted in a certain volume of liquid. It is recommended to use exclusively boiled water: an alkaline environment tends to suppress the action of the active substance.

Epin has a number of advantages. For example:

The disadvantages of the drug include the following:

Epin does not pose a danger to humans and beneficial insects. Therefore, no precautions need to be taken. However, if the substance comes into contact with the skin, it is advisable to wash the area with soap and water. Avoid contact with eyes. If, during spraying, the substance enters the oral cavity, it is necessary to rinse the mouth with water, and then take an activated charcoal tablet. You can also induce vomiting.

The packaging is simply disposed of - thrown into the trash with ordinary household waste. Store the ampoule in a cool dark place. Optimum temperature should not exceed +25 degrees. The shelf life of the substance is no more than 3 years.

How to use Epin?

The plant is influenced by many factors. Some of them have a beneficial effect on the state of culture. Others, on the contrary, can cause metabolic disorders, inhibit development and maturation. But these problems are easily solved by using regulators and stimulants.

In crop production, Epin is used quite often. They are used for decorative leafy, flowering crops, and it is also indispensable for growing vegetables. It is often used for garden trees And berry bushes. In each case, a certain dosage is required.

Epin can be used in several ways:

1. Soaking bulbs and seeds.
2. Spraying.
3. Soil irrigation.

For indoor and outdoor flowers

The instruction for the use of Epin for indoor plants says that flower seeds germinate much better after treatment with this substance. The drug enhances the protective properties of the plant, and is also used for the prevention various diseases. For this purpose, the seed is soaked in the solution for 10 hours. Dissolve 4 drops in half a glass of water. It takes about 50 milliliters for 2-10 grams of seeds. It is also used to enhance growth and prevent diseases of perennial bulbous crops. To do this, the tubers are soaked for a couple of hours or simply sprayed.

For seedlings of flowers, Epin is also useful. Offers instructions for using Epin for seedlings to use the product in this way. Dissolve 8-10 drops in a liter of water. And spray the sprouts a day or a day after landing in the ground. Such treatment promotes rapid acclimatization and strengthens.

Epin is used for decorative foliage flowers as follows. 10 drops of the product are added to a liter of water. One plant takes 0.1-0.3 solution. Processing helps strengthen flowers, protects against ailments and is a good preparation for wintering.

For many growers, Appin for orchids is the number one choice. It strengthens the culture, prevents the buds from falling and withering, and has a beneficial effect on the quantity and quality of inflorescences. Often used to form new buds and to prepare for a dormant period.

For garden crops

Contains instructions for the use of the drug Epina information regarding the pre-sowing treatment of garden plants. So, vegetable seeds are soaked in a solution for 6-8 hours, and then sown. The preparation is very simple. A couple of drops of Epin are diluted in half a glass. As a result, germination increases, protective forces increase.

Epin is often used for tomatoes in order to prevent diseases of seedlings, its rapid rooting. To do this, 24 hours after planting, young plants are sprayed with a solution. Add 6-8 drops to a liter of water and stir. At 100 square meters usually takes about 3 liters of Epin.

To enhance the growth and tuberization of potatoes, to protect against various ailments, it is sprayed before planting. The contents of 1 ampoule of Epin are poured into 5 liters of water. This volume should be enough to process 250 kilograms of vegetables.

For garden trees

For horticultural crops fruit trees and berry bushes, instructions for use of Epin Maxi will be as follows. To prevent the fall of the ovary, increase resistance to spring frosts, as well as in order to restore after fruiting, it is recommended to spray fruit trees. The procedure is carried out during the budding period and after harvesting. Dissolve the contents of 1 ampoule in 5 liters of water. Spray every tree. In this case, the consumption is 2-5 liters per plant. Berry bushes are treated in the same way.

But the instructions for using Epin for coniferous and ornamental plants will be somewhat different. Sprayed during the growing season, during budding and flowering, before leaf fall. The concentration is the same as in the case of processing fruit trees. As a result horticultural crops will grow and develop more intensively, the likelihood of their diseases will decrease, external factors will not be able to negatively affect the culture. Often in this way the plant is prepared for a dormant period.

Experience with Epina

In ornamental gardening, considerable experience has been gained in the use of Epin, and it should be noted that the results are very good.

The substance was tested on Gladiolus cultivars Torch Out and Isle Blue. Experiments were also carried out on tulips. As a result, it was noticed that tubers and corms germinated many times faster, flower stalks developed a week earlier than usual. Next, scientists investigated the effect of Epin on phlox and gelenium. Practice has shown that the formation of buds occurred more quickly than with the use of phytohormones.

Summer residents highly appreciate such a drug as Epin. Use at home has shown that the substance stimulates the rapid germination of seeds, accelerates the adaptation of the seedling to a new place, and increases their resistance to negative environmental factors.

and is it necessary

In the pursuit of the harvest, we must not forget about common sense. Use epin or not - you decide. We just decided for ourselves to figure out what kind of magical tool it is, which is only heard about on all gardening and gardening forums and sites. And here's what we found out...

What's in the chest?

The very first question: what does epin consist of? Most often on packages and in numerous recommendations in the press, this question is answered succinctly: "Epin is such an adaptogen with a pronounced anti-stress effect on plants."

In more detailed version it looks like this: Epin-extra, R (0.025 g / l epibrassinolide). And what is the mysterious epibrassinolide - not a word.

It turns out that epibrassinolide is an analogue of brassinolide. Phytohormone class of steroids. Epinbrassinolide is a phytohormone of the steroid class. This substance is highly active and promotes plant cell division, its range of action is extremely wide. Found in every cell of the plant.

It is known that all life processes of plants are regulated by phytohormones. They are produced in plants, their concentration is low, the amount depends on the phase of growth and development, the state environment. There are 5 commonly recognized hormones:

auxins,
gibberellins,
cytokinins,
abscesses
ethylene

Many researchers include brassinosteroids among them.

Brassinolide was first isolated from rapeseed pollen in 1979. It belongs to the accelerating group of hormones (together with cytokinins, auxins and gibberellins). It inhibits the production of growth-slowing hormones: absicizic acid and ethylene. More than 60 brassinosteroids are known.

Epinbrassonolide is the first artificial analogue of brassinosteroids, completely identical to the natural substance.

The hormone does not cause deformity, deformation of shoots, fruits and leaves. It affects other hormones of the plant - and due to their activation, it shakes the plant, as it were, stimulates growth and development.

How to use epin?

The following groups of plants are most susceptible to the hormone:

• legume family - beans, peas, rank, chickpeas, etc.
• pumpkin family - zucchini, pumpkin, cucumbers, squash, etc.
• the nightshade family - tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, potatoes, physalis.

The most effective time of application (the sensitivity of the plant to the hormone is increased) is before and after flowering. Slightly lower efficiency - in the phase of germination.

The effectiveness of the drug has been proven by many practical experiences. Epin really:

• Accelerates fruit ripening
• Prevents dropping of ovaries, flowers and fruits
• Increases resistance to fungal and viral diseases
• Provides good survival of plants after transplantation
• Activate recovery processes in affected plants after damaging factors:
  • frosts
  • drought
  • sunburn
  • burns after chemical treatment
  • diseases
  • soil salinization

Works great on seeds too.

• Germination is increased by 15%
• Old and tight shifts wake up and give friendly shoots

What can I say - some pluses ... But we still do not recommend treating plants with epin. It's a hormone, and that's it. These substances are not conceived by chance in such small quantities. And man, trying to build his "harmony", violates all the laws of nature. This is irresponsible to say the least. And it is fraught with consequences ...

It can be concluded...

1. The drug is effective. How effective hormones are for all living organisms, that's what hormones are for: there are very few of them, but they can do a lot. Who will doubt the "effectiveness", for example, of male or female sex hormones for humans. But thoughtless application leads to irreparable harm! And the end result doesn't always justify the means.

2. It can be used only in extreme cases - if really only very old seeds are available (for soaking), or the hail completely beaten or the May frost froze the seedlings of plants in the garden or in the flower garden (for spraying). But if you want to get an unprecedented harvest, urgently stimulate something ... it’s better to do weeding weeds once again or just loosening.

We will be glad to know your opinion about the drug! Share your experience in the comments!

Have a good harvest, dear readers of our site!
