“Radipharm” is a preparation based on extracts of plant origin, contains vitamins and other substances important for the life of cultivated plants. It is used as an aid in root formation. Instructions for use of Radifarm indicate what it is intended for, how to dilute it and in what volumes to use.
Description of the preparation
Root formation stimulator “Radifarm” – of biological origin. This is not a fertilizer, it does not contain essential nutrients and trace elements. But it contains components that stimulate the growth and development of the root system, which helps plants take root during planting or transplanting, accelerates root formation in seedlings.
Composition of Radipharm
The drug combines a complex of substances of different chemical classes that act on root tissues.
It includes:
- Steroid glycosides – increase the activity of meristems.
- Amino acids (arginine and asparagine) – necessary for the construction of polyamines, from which the root is formed.
- Tryptophan, which is part of auxin. The substance stimulates the growth of secondary roots in young plants and the formation of root hairs.
Other components of Radifarm accelerate the metabolism in plant cells:
- Polysaccharides – make cell membranes permeable, which allows water and nutrients to pass into them in increased volumes.
- Vitamins, iron and zinc (in chelated form) are needed for root growth. Zn increases the resistance of plants to frost.
- Betaine helps water pass through cell membranes, activates photosynthetic processes, restores tissues after exposure to toxins.
The complex composition of the drug “Radifarm” allows you to influence the root tissue in a complex, due to which its effectiveness is achieved.

Impact on soil and plants
“Radifarm” strengthens plants, helping them recover faster after transplantation, even when exposed to high temperatures, excessive moisture in the soil or air. Seeds and young plants after treatment with a solution of the drug begin to absorb nutrients and water from the soil faster, as a result, they germinate more quickly, and more powerful roots form in seedlings. “Radifarm” increases the speed of photosynthetic processes, shortens the time of fruit ripening.
It is perfectly absorbed by the roots of young and adult plants, if by chance drops of liquid fall on the leaves, there will be no burns in their place. The tool is completely harmless to humans, when working with it you can not use protective clothing and gloves.
Due to its natural origin, the product does not contain synthetic substances. It does not accumulate in the soil, does not harm its microflora and earthworms. It can be used on soils of various types, at any humidity and temperature.
Consumption rates
Depends on the cultivated crop. According to the instructions for use and reviews, Radipharm is consumed in the following volume:
- for vegetables – 1 bucket of solution per 1 weave with drip irrigation or 0,3-0,5 liters per plant with simple watering;
- for trees and shrubs – 2-4 liters each;
- for garden flowers – 0,5-1 l each;
- for indoor flowers – 0,5 liters each.
The number of irrigations is 2 or 3 with a break of 7 days.
Instructions for use of the drug Radipharm
The drug reduces the recovery time of plants after transplantation, provides quick and trouble-free rooting of transplanted seedlings or flowers grown in pots. After treatment with Radifarm, the development of all seedlings and seedlings occurs evenly.

Rooting agent “Radipharm” is used on plants during their transplantation or on seedlings at the first stages of its development. The tool works stably even at unfavorable humidity and temperature, so it can be used in early spring and late autumn, as well as in summer, in hot weather. In the rainy period, Radipharm should be used carefully, since water can wash the solution out of the root layer and there will be no benefit from it.
