Kornevin - instructions for use for seedlings and seedlings

Stimulator Kornevin: description, composition and effect of the drug

To be precise, calling Kornevin a fertilizer is not entirely correct. It is in the same group as Zircon, acting primarily as a root growth stimulant. However, it contains the same chemicals: phosphorus, potassium, nitrogen.

On a note!

The main active ingredient in Kornevin is the auxin group, or, in other words, IBA (indolylbutyric acid). It is its presence that provides a gentle effect on the root system of plants over a long period of time.

The Kornevin stimulator may vary in appearance. It depends on the manufacturer. You can safely purchase fertilizer from any manufacturer, since their composition is the same.

Kornevin is sold in powder form, which may differ only in color. There are beige, pink, white mixtures. Very similar to flour in consistency.

It is worth noting that Kornevin can be purchased in different dosages. The volume should be selected depending on how many plants need to be processed. So, for home use there are packages of 4 or 5 grams. When working in an open summer cottage, there are packages with a large volume of stimulant.

Operating principle

So, the main substance of Kornevin is indolylbutyric acid. Due to its presence, slight irritation is possible when processing the plant. Don't worry, this is normal. The process of formation of new cells (calus) starts. These are “living” cells, due to which the powerful development of the root system occurs.

These formations appear exclusively in places of contact with Kornevin. When it gets on the soil, the process of transforming the soil into a phytohormone called heteroauxin begins.

The process of natural synthesis and stimulation of roots is underway. After treatment, the effect lasts for a long time.

On a note:

Some gardeners may say that it is much better to use heteroauxin in its pure form to speed up the root formation process. This is true on the one hand. On the other hand, thanks to the special composition of Kornevin, the effect of this hormone lasts longer.

Hazard Class

This drug has a third group, that is, it is moderately dangerous. Therefore, you can safely use “Kornevin” in your garden. We have already presented its composition, it is 4 (indol-3-yl) butyric acid (IBA). It has the property of irritating the mucous membranes of the eyes and respiratory system, so it should not be allowed to enter the body through the mouth or respiratory system. In this regard, it is not recommended to use it in a living room, and especially in the kitchen. The Kornevin solution must be prepared with gloves and a mask, observing the rules of personal hygiene. It must be remembered that after work you need to remove all clothes and thoroughly wash your hands and face. In case of contact with skin, rinse with water; in case of contact with eyes, rinse with water.

What is it for?

It would be correct to call this product – root formation stimulator Kornevin. The scope of its application is quite wide. First of all, when it is used, the plant can absorb more nutrients from the soil. And these are not all the positive effects of its use.

Here are a few more options for what Kornevin is used:

• reducing the consequences of plant stress, the cause of which can be completely different: from simply transplanting to a new place to injury, etc.;
• gives impetus to the process of growth of the ends of the root system, seeds for planting, seedlings;
• promotes rapid and easy formation and growth of the root system;
• seed treatment for rapid “pecking”, growth and development.

Separately, it is worth noting that the use of Kornevin for plant propagation has proven to be excellent. It also has a protective effect on roots that may begin to decompose due to being in water for a long time. They are simply waiting in line to start growing.

Attention!

It is impossible to take cuttings from orchids with Kornevin!

What is also important to know before use is that the drug Kornevin does not protect against pests and diseases. It is for this reason that it is recommended to use it with other means that will complement these “gaps”.

In order for the drug to show its maximum effectiveness, the instructions for use must be carefully studied.

Compound

In fact, the fact that the active ingredient is indolylbutyric acid means practically nothing to the average person. Therefore, let’s see how the drug “Kornevin” acts on the plant. The instructions for use indicate that it improves seed germination. In addition, the drug significantly accelerates root formation in seedlings and adult plants. Plants get sick less and grow faster. And this applies to all garden crops. We can already assume that the drug will be very useful in every garden plot, and even for those who are engaged in indoor floriculture.

How to properly use Kornevin for plants

The biological growth stimulator Kornevin can be applied in several ways:

• in dry form;
• in diluted form.

The very first thing to do is to determine the purpose of use, and then how to use the drug Kornevin

. To speed up the growing season, one dosage and application method are used, and to increase the protective properties of the plant, for example, after grafting, a different method and application rate is used.

Use of Kornevin in dry form

Using the product in powder form is much easier than diluting it, but it is worth taking into account some wishes here.

For example, already mature trees and bushes are simply sprinkled from top to bottom with the mixture, without first diluting them in any liquid.

Photo instructions for use from the manufacturer

Kornevin is also recommended to be used in dry form when replanting plants. The processing procedure is simple:
the roots are immersed in Kornevin’s dry mixture.
Just don't immerse them too deep to avoid damaging them. Most often, shedding is used when processing exotic plants. Here you additionally need to mix in activated carbon in the same ratio with the drug. The cuttings and seedlings themselves must be treated with the same mixture.

Attention:

Kornevin's consumption rate should be strictly observed in each individual situation.

Purpose of the drug

Before buying it for your garden plot, you must first find out why you need Kornevin. Instructions for use will be presented below, but for now let's look at what we're dealing with. This is a hormonal drug that is used to root seedlings. The use of this drug allows you to accelerate the formation of roots during cuttings, and also significantly increases the survival rate of seedlings. However, this information probably does not provide comprehensive information, so let's take a closer look at what it is.

Application of Kornevin in the form of a solution

Making a solution for work is also easy. How to dilute:
the specified amount of product is thoroughly stirred in warm water (preferably at room temperature). Consumption: for 1 liter of water – 1 gram of powder.
Important:

Only settled water is used to prepare the Kornevin solution!

The resulting solution is used to treat cuttings of trees and shrubs; they need to be soaked and kept in the freshly prepared liquid for no more than 20 hours.

To shorten the holding time, they also resort to this option:
a seedling is placed in a pre-prepared hole and filled with solution, then watered again after 20 - 30 minutes.
Below is a diagram that indicates the exact dosage, since an excess of this substance can negatively affect the condition of the plant. An aqueous solution of Kornevin is prepared as standard:
for 1 liter – 1 g of the drug.
Diluted Kornevin should be used immediately after planting, and then watering should be repeated after another 2-3 weeks.

Difference in processed crops (volume indicated per plant):

• for vegetable seedlings - from 50 to 60 ml;
• for floral, a slightly smaller amount - from 40 to 50 ml;
• for shrubs, grapes, low and medium-sized trees (including conifers) - from 300 to 400 ml;
• for tall trees - from 2 to 2.5 liters.

Also in Kornevin you can soak the seeds before planting. Take exactly 1 tsp. and diluted in water at room temperature. Only after thorough stirring are the seeds placed in the prepared solution. Exposure time is from 10 to 12 hours.

Do-it-yourself Kornevin substitutes

Before the advent of synthesized stimulants, plant growers often used homemade preparations that had a similar effect. They can be prepared today. The following formulations are suitable to stimulate root growth:

These home remedies give a good effect, although it is noticeably lower than the effect of Kornevin. Their main advantage is that there is no risk of overdose.

Detailed instructions for using the biostimulator Kornevin

It is worth talking separately about watering or soaking the seeds of cherry trees, quinces, plums, apple trees and pears. These trees take root rather slowly, so Kornevin will help “help” them do this faster. There are some peculiarities here. The use of Kornevin in these cases is simply necessary for good rooting.

Below are step by step instructions on how to do it right:

• When purchasing, carefully inspect the purchased cuttings, removing all dry leaves;
• prepare Kornevin’s solution and immerse the purchased seedling in it;
• as an alternative, you can use the dry method for cuttings: immerse to a depth of 1 cm in powder, after wetting the root shoots;
• place the seedling in the soil, which should also contain the drug in dry form;
• Attention: do not worry that the drug will be in its pure form in the ground. After moistening the soil, it will dissolve and mix evenly with the rest;
• The selected and prepared cuttings are placed in such soil, watered with the working solution.

On a note:

To avoid exceeding the dosage, Kornevin is diluted with activated carbon when planting in a 1:1 ratio.

The most convenient and safest method for rooting seedlings and cuttings in the ground is to prepare a solution. It’s easy to do; just mix the root formation stimulator Kornevin with water at room temperature.

It is highly recommended to add additional fungicides in a ratio of 10:1. This will kill pathogenic microorganisms, increase the plant’s immunity, and will be an excellent preventive measure against diseases and pest damage.

Application of Kornevin in the garden

Many vegetable growers are of the opinion that Kornevin is the most suitable remedy for seedlings. And this opinion is not unfounded.

There are several reasons for this:

• support for seedlings during stress (transplantation is always stressful for plants);
• replenishing the lack of heat and the amount of necessary nutrients in a new place.

KORNEVIN WITH YOUR OWN HANDS - video

It is especially important to treat tomato and grape crops in this way.

It is worth using the drug in northern regions where there is not the required amount of heat and light. By the time of the growing season, the root system will be formed and actively absorb nutrients from the soil. This works especially well for thuja and plants that perform a decorative function.

In hot, southern regions, Kornevin is also used. Only here it is used a little differently, irrigating plants. To prepare the working mixture you will need from 1 to 2 tbsp. l. for 1 liter of water. Spraying is carried out. You should not exceed the consumption rate per plant:
from 15 to 45 ml.

Kornevin for indoor flowers

Flowers growing in home and apartment conditions require the same care as those growing in the open spaces of cottages and gardens.

Two parameters are especially important:

1. temperature;
2. lighting.

Growth stimulants for indoor flowers - video

In winter there may not be enough light and heat. We have to resort to artificial methods.

Kornevin has proven itself to be excellent for indoor plants.

. You will need a standard prepared solution.

For roses (namely, cuttings) of other bulbous plants, which are ornamental plants, carefully pollinate the root part

. Planting into the soil occurs in the same form. For safety reasons, activated carbon can be added to Kornevin in equal proportions. This will create additional protection for young roots.

How to grow a flower from a leaf

This information may be interesting and useful to many who want to grow a beautiful plant of one leaf. For example, violets. It has been experimentally observed that there is no need to completely change the water in which the leaves and cuttings were located before rooting.

This is explained by the fact that species practically suitable for planting die. The exact reason for this has not been found. There is an assumption that the liquid still contains elements important for the future plant, so you only need to add the missing amount.

There should be 1 sheet in the container (at most three)

. For rooting, carefully tear off several leaves with a petiole.

When the Kornevin base solution is ready, immerse the leaves in it for a quarter of an hour. After this, place it in a container with clean water and dissolved activated carbon in the amount of 1 tablet.

When using the product in dry form, after dusting, you need to shake off the residue and plant the cuttings in the soil.

The above rooting method is also suitable for geraniums and chrysanthemums.

Rooting of coniferous plants takes place in the usual way:
a lignified branch, or part of it, is soaked in Kornevin’s solution, and then transferred to clean water.
During this period of time, it is important not to overfeed the plant with fertilizers. It is necessary to monitor the acidity of the soil by occasionally watering the circle near the trunk with a base solution. Ficus is also responsive to rooting using Kornevin.

Important!:

Kornevin's solution for rooting plants should always be fresh!

Kornevin for orchids

Orchids are one of the most popular types of indoor flowers. They are quite capricious and require attention and care. Kornevin SP helps perfectly if you need to replant an orchid, grow a new one from a cutting, or simply feed a plant already growing in a pot.

When replanting an orchid, after the root system has been cleared of soil, you can place the plant in Kornevin SP solution. You need to take 5 liters of warm water into a shallow wide basin, and dissolve 3-5 grams of Kornevin SP in it, mix thoroughly. If this is a plant with roots, during transplantation it should be placed in this basin for 20-30 minutes. Only the root system needs to be immersed in the solution, not the leaves and stem.

Also, those plants that are in pots that do not need to be replanted can be fed with Kornevin SP in the same basin. To do this, you simply need to immerse the pots in this basin so that they are not completely submerged, i.e. the solution should not reach the soil. In this case, replenishment will come from the bottom, through holes in the bottom and the drainage system. In 20 minutes, the plant will absorb the required amount of solution and nutrients.

If you propagate an orchid by cuttings, you can wet them, dip them in dry Kornevin powder and plant them. But it is more effective to keep them in a solution of Kornevin SP for a couple of days so that the first roots appear, and only after that plant them.

Kornevin for trees

For other trees and shrubs, when the yield is important: its quality and quantity, there is a different dosage and watering scheme. Activities for treating trees with Kornevin are carried out in the evening.

Application rates:

1. young tree - 1 liter of mixture;
2. mature tree (determined by fruiting) - up to 3 liters of solution;
3. systematically fruiting shrub – 0.5 liters;
4. recently planted or young bush - 200-250 ml.

How and how long is Kornevin stored?

The prepared solution is applied immediately. Cannot be stored. The container in which the solution was contained must be thoroughly rinsed and packaged so that children or pets do not have access to it.

As a rule, each package of the Kornevin stimulant has an expiration date marked. However, its effect applies exclusively to the packaged material, in other words, until the box is opened. When the mixture has already been opened, it is necessary to place it in a cool place, away from light. The box must be tightly closed.

The room where the opened box is stored must be dry. When all requirements are met, the powder can be stored for up to 6 months.

When the powder begins to harden or a drop of water gets on it, it should be disposed of environmentally.

Kornevin analogues - how can you replace the stimulant?

When Kornevin is not available - what to do? It doesn’t matter, you can replace it with other drugs with similar effects.

How to prepare a natural ROOTS GROWTH STIMULANT. KORNEVIN with your own hands. Various recipes - video

Analogues of Kornevin include:

• Energen;
• Athlete;
• Kristalin;
• Zircon;
• Heteroauxin;
• Immunocytofin.

The effect of the drug is influenced by the condition of the soil, its nutritional value, and looseness. And, of course, environmental conditions are important. For example, in greenhouse conditions, Kornevin is combined with fungicides. The reason for this is that under the influence of humidity, spores have a higher reproduction rate.

"Kornevin" for cuttings

Very often we propagate plants using cuttings. This applies to indoor and ornamental plants, as well as garden and fruit plants. This is very convenient, just take a branch or leaf, root it, and you already have a new plant. However, the difficulty lies in the fact that the branches do not always readily give roots. Surely the situation is familiar to every gardener: you take out a leaf of a new plant, wait for the first roots, look every day, and the leaf slowly turns yellow, rots and dies. In this case, “Kornevin” for plants is a real find. It is enough to treat the cut with a solution or a dry preparation, and the likelihood that the plant will soon produce stunning roots increases sharply. If a planted plant sits for a long time and does not begin to grow, it is advisable to water it with this magical solution at the root. It is quite possible that literally before our eyes the plant will come to life and begin to grow, such is the drug “Kornevin”. Its price is not too high, especially considering the low consumption. A standard package (4 g) costs only 15 rubles. By diluting it by 5 liters, you can water an entire plantation of seedlings. However, this is far from the only root formation stimulator that is on sale today. Let's look at the others so you have something to compare with.

Precautionary measures

Kornevin is a moderately dangerous substance. Belongs to hazard class III.

Since the substance is in the form of a powder, it has the property of being atomized or volatile, so they work with it only in open space. When processing takes place in an apartment, it is carried out on the balcony.

When working with the drug Kornevin, wear:

• latex gloves;
• a plastic apron, maybe a raincoat;
• gauze bandage or respirator (if available);
• protective glasses.

If the product penetrates inside, it is necessary to take activated carbon in the amount of 1 tablet. by 10-15 kg of weight. The tablets should be taken with as much water as possible. For example, 4 to 5 glasses are quite enough. In case of contact with skin, rinse the area with plenty of water.

How to use Kornevin for indoor plants?

The drug itself is universal, i.e. it can be used not only for indoor plants, but also for agricultural crops. The active ingredient is idolylbutyric acid (an analogue of heteroauxin). This is a biostimulant that promotes active growth of the root system and its strengthening. This product can be used for indoor plants in different ways:

1. If you plan to plant plant seeds, you can pre-soak them for a couple of hours in Kornevin SP solution.
2. If you propagate the plant by cuttings, you can place them in the solution for several days until new root shoots appear. There is another method, when the slightly moistened lower part of the cutting is simply dusted with dry Kornevin powder, but soaking in the solution, as practice shows, is much more effective.
3. You can also water the root of the plant with this solution to strengthen it. Kornevin SP solution reduces plant stress during transplantation, they take root faster. It is not surprising that this drug is so popular among indoor plant lovers.

The drug has a hazard class of 3, so precautions should be taken when working with it.

Plant growth stimulants at home

The industry offers more and more new drugs. However, natural growth stimulants for plants remain in demand. They can be easily and simply made at home. As a rule, the material for preparation is often at hand.

Even some household waste, such as banana peels, tea leaves, potato decoction and other products can be successfully and effectively used to help plants grow and develop faster. This applies to both domestic “pets” and those growing in summer cottages.

So, you can make a root former for plants yourself.

Most often for these purposes it is recommended to use:

1. yeast: take 100 grams of the product per liter of water, stir and immerse the cuttings in the solution, which are ready for planting for further growth and development;
2. ordinary aloe: from 6 to 8 drops of the juice of this plant are added to the liquid, after which the cuttings and leaves intended for germination are placed;
3. the well-known potato: the tuber is divided into several parts, placing the stalk in the very middle.

The last method using potatoes is very suitable for propagating decorative flowers for the home.

Kornevin is an effective biostimulant that has proven itself among vegetable growers and flower growers.

. This unique product can be used for almost every crop and it effectively stimulates the root system to develop. This is an excellent fertilizer for plants growing at home. Kornevin is an excellent choice for growing strong, healthy plants.

Kornevin: reviews on the use of a biostimulator

Anna Evgenievna, St. Petersburg I like Kornevin as a plant biostimulator. I use Kornevin when planting, most often in dry form. It is enough to immerse the bottom of the cutting in the powder and immediately into the soil. Be sure to moisten the cutting with a little water in advance so that the powder does not stick. The procedure, in my opinion, is simple. Thus, I root begonias, violets, geraniums and other plants. I also use it for strawberries in the garden. I root the leaves of house plants with only one Kornivin. The result is always pleasing. In the garden, I water the seedlings with the solution directly at the root. Consumption rate:

5 grams of product per 5 liters of water. Always remember to take safety precautions when handling this stimulant. I recommend Kornevin to all lovers of indoor flowers and gardeners and summer residents. The product works. The price is quite affordable.

Egor Vladimirovich, Saratov I have been using Kornevin SP for three years in a row. Suitable for almost any plant in my summer cottage. I combine it with fertilizers. However, first of all, when planting, I pay special attention to the development of the root system, because it is on their condition that the further growth and development of plants depends, and the most important thing for any gardener is the harvest. I use Kornevin at the stage of growing seedlings, placing it in a simple glass with peat. Shoots appear quickly. What is especially pleasing is that all the plants adapt perfectly to the new open ground conditions.

Anastasia Andreevna, Novosibirsk region Kornevin is a unique remedy. It roots young plants well. It is important to follow the dosage, precautions when working with the drug, and the rest is all very simple: follow the instructions. I grow flowers for the home: for myself in the apartment and create a flower garden in the entrance so that people can look and rejoice. I am such an optimist and I have a lot of enthusiasm. I root the flowers with leaves. Kornevin has already rooted Chinese rose, azalea, begonia, geranium and others. The flowering is very beautiful and long lasting. Of the methods of using Kornevin, I like powdering, when you just slightly dip the stalk into the powder and immediately into the water. I recommend it to all flower growers. And let me remind you again:

follow the instructions for using Kornevin, do not be lazy to read and do as it is written there. And your flowers will delight you and your friends and neighbors. It's so easy to create beauty around!

Reader Questions

What is the price of Kornevin?

The average price of one sachet weighing 4 g is about 40 rubles.

Heteroauxin or Kornevin - which is better?

These are two analogous growth stimulants. The difference is that the first one is available in tablet form. It has a stimulating effect on the root system and additionally helps to ensure better tissue fusion after the scion. The ovaries fall much more slowly, promoting long-term flowering. Both drugs are worthy of attention.

How often can you water with Kornevin?

Used for planting material, cuttings, seed germination, better rooting. It is important to follow the consumption rate of Kornevin indicated on the packaging for a certain amount of water. Kornevin is used in the fall and at any other time of the year, observing exactly the frequency and dose of application.

What is better to use Epin or Kornevin?

Epin is similar in action to Zircon. It has a broader spectrum of action than Kornevin, so it is worth giving preference when there is a threat of the plant being damaged by pests or diseases.

How long to keep rose cuttings in Kornevin?

Soak the seeds immediately before planting in the newly made solution for a period of 8 to 12 hours. For 1 liter of water, 1 gram of dry matter is enough.

Growth stimulants

Natural plant growth accelerators have recently been replaced by chemical substances synthesized based on natural components. The undoubted advantage of such preparations is the ease of preparing the solution and the relatively inexpensive price. Also, chemical growth stimulants are capable of accelerating cell division and metabolism of the plant organism with almost 100% efficiency, this is their main advantage over folk remedies.

Heteroauxin (“Kornerost”)

Heteroauxin belongs to the group of phytohormonal agents with high biological activity. The main active ingredient of the drug is β-indoleacetic acid. The role of the substance in the life of plant organisms is diverse, from stimulating cell division and elongation to regulating flowering and fruit growth.

Long-term studies have shown that even a one-time treatment of a plant with a substance promotes :

• stimulation of root formation;
• tissue regeneration;
• improving tissue fusion;
• improving the survival rate of seedlings;

To do this, the cuttings are soaked 1/3 in an aqueous solution of heteroauxin for 18-20 hours, after which the plant fragments are ready for planting. The remaining liquid can be used for watering. Depending on the type of plant being cut and the degree of its lignification, the dose of heteroauxin ranges from 50 to 200 mg/l of aqueous solution. The substance is produced in the form of tableted powder or capsules.

"Kornevin"

"Kornevin" is a broad-spectrum biostimulant. The main active ingredient of “Kornevin” is considered to be indolylbutyric acid .

The product is used to stimulate root formation in both garden and indoor plant species. Once on the cut surface, the active substance of the product causes slight irritation in the tissue, which in turn stimulates the growth of “living cells”. Once in the soil, the substance is naturally transformed into heteroauxin, which stimulates further root development and cell reproduction.

The drug is produced in powder form. To prepare the solution, 5 g of “Kornevin” is diluted in 5 liters of tap water, after which the cuttings are soaked in the solution for 24 hours. After using an aqueous solution of heteroauxin, you can water the seedlings. Although the drug is considered harmless, it is recommended to work with it with gloves and associated protective equipment.

"Zircon"

“Zircon” is a chemical preparation whose origin is hydroxycinnamic acid , synthesized from the biological material of Echinacea purpurea. This biostimulant acts on the plant organism as an inducer, which triggers growth mechanisms at the cellular level, while the drug does not act as a stress factor. According to the principle of action, “Zircon” belongs to the category of immunomodulators, which soften the burden of the environment on the body and help to use internal reserves more efficiently.

"Zircon" is available in the form of an ampoule with a concentrated liquid. In order to prepare the solution, you need to open the ampoule and dilute it in 1 liter of water. After this, fresh cuttings must be placed in the resulting preparation for 10-12 hours, after which they can be planted in the soil. To feed plants, the manufacturer recommends using 1 ml of the substance per 1 liter of water (1:1000).
