The most frequent questions when growing cereals

What is the best way to process cereal seeds?

An inoculant and an insecticide are definitely needed. If the seeds are not infected with powdery mildew, then it is recommended to use Sporomax™ B (1.0-1.5 l/t). Complete control of root rots (species). In addition, the protection of the root system occurs throughout the growing season. If there is a threat that sooty fungi are present, then you need to add tebuconazole at the recommended rate.

To improve the energy of germination and germination of seeds, as well as better development of the root system and improvement of plant nutrition, it is necessary to apply Biostim™ seed inoculant at the rate of 1.0 l/t. This drug is compatible with all poisoners and it is allowed to process seeds 120 days before sowing.

How to promote the appearing of more flowers in a spike?

The main factor is balanced and timely nutrition of plants.

However, the use of Aminorost™ preparations at the rate of 1.0 l/ha + Microstim™ PS at the rate of 1.0 l/ha in the budding phase - the exit into the tube contributes to the additional laying of flowers in the ear and reduces plant stress from environmental factors. Efficiency – an increase in yield on average of 2.5 - 4.5 t/ha and more.

For zinc deficiency, it is recommended to add Microstim™ Zn at a rate of 0.5-1.0 l/ha.

How to improve grain quality and weight of 1000 grains?

If you have done everything for the maximum laying of flowers in the ear, then it is necessary to ensure the maximum productivity of the plant.

For this, we recommend to use Aminorost™ 0.5 l/ha + Floriz™ at the rate of 0.5 l/ha + Urea 10 kg/ha in the flag leaf phase, simultaneously with fungicide application. Urea is not recommended to be added to malting barley. This will contribute to high-quality pollination of flowers and the formation of the maximum number of grains in an ear.

To increase the weight of 1,000 grains and quality indicators of grain in the pouring phase (milk or milk-wax maturity), it is recommended to use Aminorost™ 0.5 l/ha + Floriz™ at the rate of 0.5 l/ha + Urea 10 kg/ha. Urea is not recommended to be added to malting barley.

Are biological fungicides effective on grain crops?

Yes, they are effective.

It is recommended to use Sporomax™ B fungicide at the rate of 1.0 - 1.5 l/ha in the budding phase. Effective against powdery mildew, root rot, snow mold, septoriasis, fusariosis. If it is not an organic technology, then it is recommended to use chemical fungicides on the ear.

Is it necessary to add the adjuvant Izomax™ to the drugs, or is some kind of adhesive better?

Adhesives (quality) contribute to the retention of working solutions on the plant.

Izomax™, in addition to holding the working solution, promotes the stretching of the drops over the plant (eliminates the lens effect), forms a breathable film that slows down the drying speed of the working solution, quickly penetrates the drugs into the plants, significantly increases the effectiveness of ZZR and allows you to reduce water consumption per 1 ha (from 200 l to 100 l).

The consumption rate of Izomax™ is 0.04 - 0.05 l/ha.

Do you need to use trace elements?

Everything depends on their presence in the soil, availability and planned harvest.

For cereals, it is recommended to use:

• Microstim™ Zn (0.5 - 1.0 l/ha) in the phase of "bush" and "flag leaf - pouring of grain". Contributes to the reduction of stress from frost and drought, zinc deficiency, improvement of pollination, etc.
  
• Microstim™ PS - (1.0 - 1.5 l/ha) in the phase of "bush" and "flag leaf". Contributes to better nitrogen nutrition of plants, protein formation and increases resistance to diseases.
  
• Microstim™ Cu - (0.3 - 0.5 l/ha) in the "bush" - "flag leaf" phase. Promotes resistance to diseases, improves grain quality indicators, increases resistance of plants to lodging.
  
• Microstim™ Mn - (0.3 - 0.5 l/ha) in the phase of "bush" - "flag leaf". Contributes to better establishment of the ear, increases resistance to diseases and normalization of plant respiration processes.
