Cultivated plants are susceptible to bacterial and fungal infections. Sporobacterin is a popular remedy that is used in the fight against pathogenic microorganisms. Such a fungicide is widely used due to its unique composition, ease of use and wide spectrum of action.
Properties and composition of Sporobacterin
The drug is used for the treatment and prevention of infectious diseases of plants. The action of the fungicide is determined by the properties of the components. The product contains highly active spore-forming bacteria.
Among them:
- Bacillus subtilis (from 108 CFU).
- Trichoderma viride (from 106 CFU).
The use of the fungicide “Sporobacterin” allows you to protect plants from a large number of infectious diseases. The drug is also used for preventive purposes, especially when growing seedlings.
Purpose and action of the drug Sporobacterin
This agent is a biological fungicide. It does not contain synthetic components. The effect of the drug is to suppress pathogenic bacteria and fungi.
The tool helps with:
- late blight;
- powdery mildew;
- gray rot;
- fusarium wilt;
- black leg;
- moniliosis;
- root rot;
- mucous bacteriosis;
- scab.
“Sporobacterin” is easy to use, safe for plants, animals and humans
The action of the drug is provided by the waste products of microorganisms that make up Sporobacterin. They have an antiseptic, antifungal and antibacterial effect. However, they do not have a negative impact on the nutritional value and acidity of the soil.
For which plants can Sporobacterin be used?
The tool is used for any cultures prone to infections that are sensitive to the action of the drug. Numerous reviews of “Sporobacterin Orton” indicate that the fungicide is actively used for diseases of indoor plants. It is also effective in the treatment and prevention of fruit crops, trees and berry bushes. It is used for tillage before planting and when growing seedlings.
The drug is effectively used from early spring to late autumn.
There are several types of drug. The most common is Sporobacterin Vegetation. It is used for spraying plants and the soil around them during the period of active development. “Sporobacterin Seedling” is used for soaking seeds during their planting. It is also effective on young seedlings.
How to breed Sporobacterin
The fungicide is produced in the form of a powder concentrate. A liquid suspension is prepared from it for the treatment of affected plants and soil. To make “Sporobacterin” liquid, it is necessary to take into account the ratio of water and the drug.
Cooking options:
- Soaking seeds – 1,5 g of powder per 1 liter of water.
- Watering – 20 g per 10 liters of liquid.
- Spraying – 20 g per 10 liters of water.
- Solution for the treatment of affected areas – 20 g per 20 liters of liquid.
Shake the working solution before use.
After diluting the powder, the liquid must be kept for 30 minutes. The solution is then shaken and processed.
Instructions for use of the drug Sporobacterin
The fungicide has a wide spectrum of activity. Therefore, it is used for various purposes. To achieve maximum results, you need to read the instructions “Sporobacterin” for plants.
For seedlings
First of all, the drug is used for soaking seeds. To do this, prepare the working fluid. 1 g of powder is added to 1,5 liter of water. The seeds are placed in this solution for 2 hours. After planting the seedlings, the soil is irrigated with Sporobacterin. For 1 kg of soil, 100 ml of solution is required.
Treatment of planting material with the preparation contributes to its disinfection from phytopathogens.
According to the instructions for use of Sporobacterin Seedlings, the ratio of the components of the working solution is the same as for irrigation. For 1 sq. m. seedlings require 1 liter of the finished product.
For indoor plants and flowers
The tool is used for preventive or therapeutic treatment. The main method is spraying a diseased plant. The flower must be treated completely, and not just the affected areas.
Stages of the procedure:
- Dilute 5 g of powder in 1 liter of warm water.
- Add sugar, wait 30 minutes.
- Spray diseased plants with a spray bottle.
- Carry out preventive treatment of the soil (50-100 ml of liquid for each plant).
Biological fungicide can be applied at any stage of plant development
For preventive purposes, it is advised to cultivate the soil in pots and flowerpots during transplantation. For 1 indoor plant, 50 ml of working solution is enough.
For vegetable crops
“Sporobacterin” can be used at all stages of cultivation. When processing vegetables, several nuances should be taken into account.
When growing plants from seeds, Sporobacterin Seedlings are used. Planting material is soaked for 6 hours in a one percent solution of the drug.
If tubers are used for cultivation, they must be sprayed before planting in the ground. For 1 kg of planting material, a solution is prepared from 0,5 g of powder and 1 liter of water. According to reviews of Sporobacterin Seedlings, this treatment is enough to prevent fungal infections in the early stages of growth.
The drug provides prevention and treatment of bacterial and fungal diseases of plants
The following algorithm then applies:
- Spraying every 20 days (10 liters of solution per 100 square meters of plantings).
- Watering under the root in the phase of leaf formation (1 g of the drug per 10 liters of liquid).
- Soil cultivation around the plant (1 g of powder diluted in 10 liters of water per 1 sq. meter).
Processing can be repeated many times. Their number is not limited, but you need to observe the interval – at least a week.
Features of vegetable processing:
For fruit crops
When planting, the soil in the holes should be cultivated before placing seedlings or “delenki” in them. This will protect the plant from diseases during the period of adaptation and rooting. For this purpose, a solution is prepared from 10 g of powder and 0,5 l of warm water. For 1 plant you need from 50 to 100 ml of such a liquid.
Due to the content of phytohormone in the preparation, plants increase immunity
In the future, adult fruit bushes and trees are treated with Sporobacterin by spraying. For the procedure, a solution is prepared from 20 g of powder per 10 liters of water. In the future, it is diluted to 20 liters and used for spraying. A similar amount of the drug can be taken for watering the soil.
Safety Precautions
The described tool is considered harmless to plants, pets and the human body. However, improper use of a biological fungicide can lead to undesirable consequences. This also applies to analogues of Sporobacterin, which have similar properties.
When processing, the following recommendations should be observed:
- Avoid getting the powder and solution on the skin, in the eyes.
- Wear protective clothing.
- Wear a gauze bandage to prevent powder from entering the respiratory tract.
- Prepare the solution in containers not intended for food, drinking water.
- Stop smoking during treatment.
- After spraying, carry out thorough hygiene procedures.
The treatment of plants is preferably carried out in a cotton gown, gauze bandage and rubber gloves.
If the fungicide gets on the face or eyes, rinse immediately with clean water. If the drug is on the skin, the contact point is treated with a soapy liquid. In case of accidental ingestion of the fungicide, gastric lavage is performed.
Storage Rules
Powder or ready-made solution should be kept separately from food. The storage location must be inaccessible to children and pets.
It is not recommended to keep the drug in close proximity to feed, fertilizers and other fungicides. The product should be stored at a temperature not exceeding 25 degrees.
Conclusion
Sporobacterin is a biological fungicide that has a complex antifungal and antibacterial effect. The drug is used for therapeutic and prophylactic treatment of various types of plants. The tool is used for watering the soil, spraying and preparing seedlings. Processing with “Sporobacterin” must be carried out in accordance with the instructions, observing basic precautions.
