- Increased fertility
- Ekaterina Komisarova
Today, in suburban areas you can find various crops that require proper care. In order for a plant to grow faster, it needs a set of useful nutrients. The main components of fertilizers are nitrogen, silicon, phosphorus and potassium.
Many people underestimate the importance of silicon. It has been established that plants absorb large amounts of this substance from the soil during their development. With a lack of silicon, crops can begin to grow much worse and acquire various ailments. Fertilizer HB 101 will help overcome the problem. Instructions for use, reviews and recommendations from experienced gardeners are given below in the article.
basic information
"Vitolayz" HB 101 is a concentrated nutritional complex obtained from an extract of components of pine, plantain, cypress, and Japanese cedar. This composition is completely natural and serves as an activator of the immune system of all plants.
Fertilizer HB 101 does not contain toxic chemicals. It is an organic component that benefits the environment. The drug is recommended to be used throughout the season. In this case, the amount of harmful substances in the final ingredients will be significantly lower.
In addition, when using HB 101, it is necessary to significantly reduce the frequency of using chemical fertilizers. As a result, plants will be more resistant to late blight, acid precipitation and strong winds.
Typically, the product in question is used in liquid form. A universal fertilizer in granules is also suitable for treating perennial crops.
It's not the gods who burn the pots
Amateurs in all fields of activity are cunning people and sometimes come up with things that professionals with academic degrees never even think of. A global historical (literally) example is short radio waves. Experts considered them unpromising and handed them over to radio amateurs. And they quickly figured out that stable communications and broadcasting on HF are possible with transmitter powers 1000 or more times (!) less than on the Far East and the North. Moreover, unlike long and medium waves, there is no limitation on range within the globe.
The story of HB 101 is not so loud, but also very significant. Summer residents and small private owners realized that the effectiveness of the branded drug for fruits and vegetables and ordinary ornamental crops is excessive, but is included in the selling price. And... we learned how to make free analogues of it with our own hands from available raw materials: collected in the winter forest, see video:

Danger to humans
This is worth familiarizing yourself with first. Any summer resident is interested in growing a rich and healthy harvest. After all, all compounds used to treat plantings ultimately end up in fruits and vegetables.
Is fertilizer HB 101 safe? Instructions for use and reviews from summer residents confirm that the drug is completely safe for the body. Even in Japan, which is considered an advanced country in the field of ecology, HB 101 is used in agriculture.
Soil care with growth stimulator HB-101
It should be noted that fertilizer is not a panacea. The use of the drug requires a certain soil condition. Land with a large amount of clay will not be able to absorb the entire amount of microelements. The soil should be soft and loosened. If the soil looks like a dry lump, then treatment with fertilizer is useless. It is also useless to add it to waste soil. Some plant varieties are capable of sucking out almost all the beneficial substances from the soil. Treatment will only delay the risk of plant death on such soil.
HB-101 should not be mixed with other fertilizers. Heavy rains can erode fertilizer and cause soil erosion.
The effect of the drug on the roots and stems of the plant
Let's study this point in more detail. For proper growth and development, garden crops require air, water, sunlight, and soil rich in microorganisms and minerals. If the balance between these factors is disturbed, the pace of plant development can slow down significantly, and in some cases even stop.
How to effectively use HB 101? Instructions for use include adding a special composition directly to the soil. As a result, the plants begin to be saturated with all the necessary nutrients from the soil. There they, mixed with sodium and calcium, are absorbed by root cells and penetrate into the leaves, which significantly increases the efficiency of photosynthesis. This allows you to significantly improve the overall vital activity of the processed crops.
HB 101 also has a positive effect on the development of the root system and stems of various crops. These parts of the plant are responsible for absorbing and transporting water and nutrients. The root system and leaves are closely interconnected.
The drug in question has one important advantage. The instructions for HB 101 do not say anything about the period of use of such a composition. You can use the drug at any time during plant development. HB 101 can be used both for feeding only the roots and for spraying the leaves. You can apply fertilizer even during fruit ripening, since the composition is absolutely safe.
What is NV-101 for plants
In the instructions, HB-101 is called a vitalizer, since it is not a fertilizer as such, but a mixture of substances with a biologically active effect, which:
- stimulate plant development;
- accelerate the collection of green mass;
- improve soil structure.
Important! HB-101 is often called a fertilizer, but the product is not one. Therefore, the use of this drug does not eliminate the need to fertilize the soil using standard agricultural practices.
Composition of NV-101
The plant growth stimulator NV-101 contains mineral and organic substances of natural origin. They are obtained from extracts of various perennial coniferous plants (mainly pine, cypress and cedar). The composition also includes plantain extract and several active components, the contents of which are indicated in the table.
Component | Concentration, mg/l |
Silica | 7,4 |
Sodium salts | 41,0 |
Calcium salts | 33,0 |
Nitrogen compounds | 97,0 |
Compounds of potassium, sulfur, manganese, phosphorus, magnesium, iron | 5,0 (total) |
Forms of release of the biostimulator NV-101
Vitalizer is available in 2 forms:
- A liquid solution that must be diluted with water to obtain the required concentration. Sold in convenient bottles, ampoules and dispensers with droppers.
- Granules that are scattered into the soil along the tree trunk, without deepening. Sold in PET bags or Zip-Lock containers.
The composition of the product may vary slightly depending on the release formula. Judging by reviews from gardeners, the liquid solution HB-101 acts faster than granules.
Vitalizer is made in Japan
One of the common forms of release of HB-101 (pictured) is a 50 ml bottle.
Operating principle of fertilizer NV-101
The drug contains nutrients and minerals (potassium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus and others) in an easily digestible ionic form. Thanks to this, they dissolve very quickly in water and penetrate into the roots of the plant (or directly into the leaves and stems when applied by foliar application).
The stimulant has a powerful effect on the plant, activating cell division processes, due to which the crop gains green mass faster. The product contains saponin, which saturates the soil with oxygen, which is beneficial for the bacteria living there. They begin to quickly process organic substances, which are also easily absorbed by plant roots.
Attention! Since the product contains only natural ingredients, it does not harm soil bacteria, plants, earthworms and other beneficial organisms.
Does HB-101 protect against late blight?
The stimulant does not directly protect plants from late blight. If spots and other signs have already appeared on the leaves, it is necessary to treat with a fungicide. However, there is an indirect effect of protection. If you add the drug to the soil, the crop will develop faster, and its immunity to diseases will be noticeably higher.
Reviews from summer residents who used HB-101 according to the instructions note that the use of this drug really helps prevent common infections:
- late blight;
- chlorosis;
- root rot;
- leaf spot;
- brown rust;
- powdery mildew.
Scope of application of fertilizer NV-101
Thanks to its complex chemical composition, this product is universal, so it can be used for any crops:
- vegetable;
- indoor and garden flowers;
- cereals;
- fruit and berry;
- ornamental and lawn grasses;
- mushrooms
In accordance with the instructions for use, HB-101 can be used for both seedlings and adult plants. The dosage depends on the type of crop. Seeds and bulbs are also treated with the solution several hours before planting (immersed for 30-60 minutes).
Important! The solution can be applied to the soil by root and foliar methods. The latter option is most often used at the stage of ovary formation.
Vitalizer HB-101 is consumed in small quantities, so one bottle lasts a long time
Compound
How can one explain the high efficiency of NV 101 93? The drug contains ionized materials that promote the growth of the activity of beneficial microelements and the balance of nutrients. The plant receives a stronger and more developed root system, which is capable of storing a large amount of energy.
In addition, HB 101 contains a lot of saponin. This is a special metabolite that is responsible for providing oxygen to natural microorganisms.
The stem is a kind of backbone of the plant. Therefore, it must have an appropriate level of strength. Only healthy cells that receive a sufficient supply of nutrients can provide such a state.
What are the benefits of fertilizer HB 101? Application and reviews from experienced gardeners allow us to conclude that such a drug significantly increases the saturation of nutrients from roots to stems and leaves, promoting the normal development of the entire plant. It is for this reason that the fertilizer is called a growth stimulator or “Vitalizer” HB 101.
Storage rules and shelf life of NV-101
The manufacturer declares that the shelf life is unlimited (if the integrity of the packaging is not compromised and storage conditions are met). The more time has passed from the production date, the more beneficial substances will be destroyed. Therefore, it is advisable to use the drug in the first 2-3 years. Can be stored in a wide range of temperatures, in a dark place with moderate humidity.
The finished solution HB-101 must be used completely, since it is not stored for a long time
Improving the soil
So what's the right way to do this? To ensure comfortable life of plants, the soil must contain sufficient air and water. It is also important to ensure good drainage. This will allow you to maintain the required level of humidity, both in rainy and sunny weather. It is also important to maintain optimal soil acidity.
However, negative environmental factors such as the use of chemicals, acid rain and constant cultivation can cause serious damage to the soil. This jeopardizes the normal reproduction and functioning of beneficial microorganisms.
Such problems can be avoided by the drug HB 101. Application, instructions, reviews - this information is enough to say that such feeding helps maintain the existing immune system of all fruit-bearing crops.
Advantages and disadvantages
Experience with the use of the NV-101 stimulator has shown that it has a complex effect on various plants, since it contains the entire basic set of nutrients. The benefits are as follows:
- significant improvement in seed germination;
- rapid development of plants;
- increase in productivity;
- acceleration of fruit ripening;
- increasing resistance to diseases and pests;
- increasing resistance to adverse weather factors.
The drug HB-101 is very economical, since 1 ml (20 drops) is enough for 10 liters of water. And if you use it in granules, their validity period is 5-6 months. Among the disadvantages, summer residents sometimes note the inability to use the product together with urea, as well as with fertilizers in an oily solution.
In most reviews, summer residents rate HB-101 4.5-5 out of 5 points
Instructions for use
How to properly use fertilizer HB 101 for seedlings? Let's study the application and reviews in more detail. Fertilizing can be used for all crops growing in your garden.
A standard volume of 6 ml is provided for an average of 70-130 liters of water. Just one or two drops of the product will be enough per 1000 ml. Each package comes with a special dispenser. It is recommended to water or spray plants with HB 101 fertilizer weekly.
Norm and dosage
In order to get the desired result and not harm the plant, we advise you to familiarize yourself with the dosage of the HB 101 product in advance.
When granules are added to the soil, the fertilizer crumbles onto the soil surface.
When adding granules to the soil
Granules can be applied to the soil:
- during landing;
- during transplantation;
- for feeding.
Fertilizer is scattered onto the surface in a ratio of 1 g per m². If you wish to also fertilize the plant, use the fertilizer first. The vitalizer granules should remain on the soil surface. For more convenient distribution of the product, it can be mixed with sand, soil, and compost and distributed on the surface as a mixed composition.
Adding liquid to the soil
Anyone can quickly figure out how to breed “HB 101”. A special pipette is included with the solution. The solution is prepared at the rate of 1 ml of concentrate per 20 liters of water.
Since the HB 101 solution is natural, it is not necessary to use additional gloves and other methods of skin protection. However, make sure that during preparation of the solution the concentrate does not come into contact with the mucous membrane of the mouth or eyes.
Features of use for various plants
Before using such a tool, it is worth considering some nuances. For different types of garden crops, the use of HB 101 has its own characteristics.
If you are going to use it to process flowers, you will first need to prepare the soil. Before planting or transplanting seedlings, it is recommended to irrigate the soil three times with the HB 101 fertilizer solution, which is prepared at the rate of 1-2 drops per liter jar of liquid. In the future, it is enough to simply feed the plants with the prepared solution once a week.
Can HB 101 be used for processing vegetables, berries and fruits? Instructions for use and reviews from gardeners recommend processing in a similar way. You can also use fertilizer to prepare the seeds. To do this, the seed is immersed in the solution for half a day. Tomato seedlings are treated with HB 101 for 21 days. Before planting the crop, it is recommended to immerse the roots in a solution with fertilizer for half an hour. From the moment of transplantation until the fruit ripens, the plant must be treated with fertilizer weekly.
Can greens, salads and cabbage also be treated with HB 101? The instructions for use provide the same steps: dilute 1-2 drops of fertilizer per liter of liquid. The site is processed three times. Seed material can also be prepared using fertilizing. To do this, the seeds are immersed in a solution with fertilizer for 3 hours. Grown plants should be treated with a nutrient composition for three weeks.
HB 101 is also used for processing bulbous and root crops. Treatment with the drug provides the following algorithm of actions:
- The soil is irrigated three times with a fertilizer solution.
- Bulbs and tubers are soaked in a fertilizing solution for half an hour.
- After planting, the soil is regularly irrigated with the composition.
It is recommended to process legumes in a similar way, but the seeds need to be soaked for a short time. In this case, one minute will be enough. Bean seedlings must be sprayed every week until harvest.
Release forms
The drug NV 101 is produced as liquid water-soluble in 6-20 ml packaging for private household plots (LPH, on the left in the figure), in larger packaging for commercial farms (in the center) and in dry granules (right).
Preparative sales forms of plant growth regulator HB 101
The granules have a prolonged action and are applied:
- In open ground before winter and in winter.
- In greenhouses and for long-growing seedlings.
- In potted culture it is preferable. for dwarf plants.
- In the substrate for mushrooms.
In other cases, a liquid form is used in microdoses (see below). Each bottle is equipped with a dispenser pipette.
Note: the shelf life of HB 101 in unopened packaging is practically unlimited. But once opened, it must be used during the season, and the working solution must be used immediately (within 2 hours).
Treatment of indoor plants
How to do it correctly so as not to harm the culture? For what other purposes can fertilizer HB 101 be used? Use for indoor plants allows you to achieve amazing results. However, the composition will be used a little differently.
The solution is prepared in the same way - 1-2 drops are diluted in one liter of water. To prepare the soil, the soil is treated with a similar composition before planting. It can also be used for simple watering of plants grown hydroponically.
Analogues of the product
NV is a new generation vitalizer. Japanese specialists, when creating a masterpiece, thought through not only the composition, but also the availability of analogues. There are no duplicates that will completely replace the biological product. But there are analogues with a similar mechanism of action.
Refers to hormonal substances. But the effect is mild. These include drugs based on pine extracts (triterpene acids). From Russian funds: Silk and its update Novosil. Manufacturer Belarus: Ecosil.
They also suggest using the immunomodulator Zircon. Made in Russia, NEST company. The product contains acids obtained from echinacea. This manufacturer suggests using Siliplant for garden and indoor plants. Purpose: application to the soil as an anti-stress agent.
Granules
So, now you have an idea of the use of HB 101 fertilizer in granules. Reviews from gardeners say that a similar drug in this form is used quite rarely. However, this type is considered more convenient for feeding trees. The peculiarity of this variety is that the fertilizer must be mixed directly with the soil.
For example, when processing deciduous trees, it will be enough to simply spread the granules around the perimeter of the crown. Coniferous plants can be treated by irrigation. This will help protect the tree from sunburn and typical diseases.
However, there are some subtleties here too. For example, deciduous shrubs and trees cannot be treated more than three times per season. Otherwise, the plant will have a very hard time surviving the winter. When working with fruit trees, it is also recommended to irrigate the ovaries.
You can also use HB 101 when growing mushrooms. In this case, the solution is used for soil cultivation and irrigation. Fertilizer in granular form is perfect for lawn care. The first shoots are fed with HB 101 at the rate of 1 cubic cm per 4 square meters. m.
Particular attention should be paid to the processing of cereal crops with HB 101. Instructions for use and reviews prescribe the use of fertilizer to irrigate the soil before sowing. Seed preparation is carried out by soaking them in a fertilizing solution for 2-4 hours.
You can also use HB 101 for subsequent spraying of plants. This procedure should be carried out no more than once a week. The use of the drug allows for improved crop growth and also helps to increase productivity.
Types of fertilizer and their features
Currently, the vitalizer (this is how the stimulant in question is classified) is available in two forms: liquid and granular. The first type is a highly concentrated solution intended for dilution to the desired consistency, which directly depends on what work is planned to be carried out. Thus, just one milligram of the drug is enough for at least 20 liters of the mixture ready for processing, while in total the ampoule contains 6 such ml, that is, a potential 120 liters of working solution.
As for granular powder, its use does not require preliminary preparation, which is very convenient in practice. And all that needs to be done to apply the vitalizer in this form is to mix it with a small amount of clean river sand or soil taken from the same area and scatter it on top of the beds.
It is noteworthy that further actions with this method of applying the drug do not involve digging, since all the components contained in it will be able to penetrate deep into the soil and nourish the root system during the watering process.
And this feature only simplifies the task, requiring gardeners to put in minimal effort.
Reviews
Now you know what the drug HB 101 is, its use, instructions and its features. Reviews about the drug are mostly positive. There are no restrictions when working with Vitalizer. The drug retains its characteristics for quite a long time, regardless of storage conditions.
In addition, when processing plants, you should use personal protective equipment: rubber gloves and goggles. The product does not pose a danger to humans, but it is better to keep it out of the reach of children.
Experienced gardeners speak positively about HB 101. The drug is even suitable for treating coniferous trees. They can correct uneven crowns. Regular misting of plants and fertilizing the soil with granules helps stimulate plant growth.
HB 101 is also useful for treating lawns. As the owners of private houses say, it is enough to simply sprinkle the granules on the ornamental grass after the snow melts, and it will grow noticeably faster on it. In addition, the quality of the lawn itself improves: it is thicker and greener. This is the difference between the product under discussion and conventional mineral fertilizers.
According to the instructions, HB 101 can also be used for preparing seeds and bulbs. Flower growers will confirm that plant bulbs treated with such a preparation before winter forcing produce flower stalks several times more powerful during the growing season.
HB 101 can also be used for growing vegetables and fruits on an industrial scale. Entrepreneurs confirm that after treating the plantings with the Japanese Vitalizer, the plants get sick less and produce an excellent harvest. Moreover, this applies to both greenhouse plants and street beds.
And when using such fertilizing, the fruits ripen earlier than expected. At the same time, all vegetables and fruits are environmentally friendly, since HB 101 is a completely organic fertilizer.
TOP 5 analogues and their prices
