Kornevin: instructions for use for indoor plants, trees and shrubs

Kornevin is a synthetic root growth stimulator in various plants. An effective remedy is a white powder. The substance dissolves well in water. The drug is used both in dry and diluted form: for treating seedlings, cuttings, young seedlings of fruit trees, bushes, seed germination, bulbous, tuberous, indoor and decorative flowers.

It is useful to know what properties Kornevin has. Instructions for use indicate the nuances of using a growth stimulator.

Composition and release form

The main active ingredient is indolylbutyric acid. The active ingredient promotes rapid rooting by stimulating plant cells, accelerating the growth and development of other parts of the flower.

Excipients:

phosphorus,
potassium,
manganese,
molybdenum.

The drug is packaged in different containers, depending on the amount of product. You can purchase the growth stimulator in dry form (moisture-proof and light-protective bags from 4 to 10 g) or in a bottle (liquid state of the drug, volume - 330 ml).

Analogues of Kornevin

There are several brands of fertilizers with similar effects. These are Zircon, Heteroauxin, Immunocytophyte, Atlet, Kristalin, Energen. According to consumer reviews, the effect depends not only on the type of drug, but on the type of soil, its saturation with mineral fertilizers, looseness, and environmental conditions. In greenhouses, for example, kornevin is used as a root growth stimulator with fungicides, because spores multiply faster under the influence of humidity.

Some types of plants require a drug with a longer action. For others, a short soaking or dusting is enough.

Advantages and disadvantages

When using Kornevin you can:

speed up seed germination;
adapt plants to unfavorable factors;
reduce the likelihood of disease in flowers;
quickly grow roots from cuttings, seedlings, seedlings;
It is good to develop a root system, which will then take root in a new place without problems after planting in the ground.

It is important to know the negative nuances associated with the use of the drug:

incorrect dosage of Kornevin during preparation of the solution and application of the product leads to rotting and death of the underground part of the flower;
Failure to comply with safety precautions when working with a chemical substance provokes poisoning.

Important! It is necessary to adhere to all the requirements described in the instructions, otherwise Kornevin can cause harm to the plant and humans.

Reviews

Maria: Kornevin is a strong stimulant that strengthens plant resistance to all sorts of adverse factors. I use it to support indoor plants weakened by disease or transplantation, to germinate seeds, and also to support rooting cuttings.

Peter: I use Kornevin when growing seedlings and when transplanting seedlings into the garden. The seedlings are strong and viable, very rarely get sick and can easily tolerate picking and transplanting.

Anastasia: I am an avid summer resident, I really love all kinds of experiments. The first time I used Kornevin to strengthen pruned seedlings: I simply added root former powder to the soil. The seedlings turned out to be surprisingly strong, with a developed root system. I watered a weak sapling of bush St. John's wort with Kornevin's solution, and it began to come to life right before our eyes.

Useful properties of the substance for indoor plants

Note to flower growers:

The drug stimulates cell division and the active development of roots in flowers, which has a positive effect on susceptibility to diseases.
Indoor flowers can more easily tolerate unfavorable conditions.
Under the influence of the active substance, rooting of cuttings, shoots, leaves, and bulbs occurs.
When used correctly, orchids grow a new aerial root system.

For more active seed germination, planting material can be placed in Kornevin solution for 20–30 minutes.

Spectrum of action of the drug

Stimulation of root growth

Many beginners ask the question - how to grow the root system of an orchid? Kornevin contributes to :

Increased formation of root shoots;
And the development of the root system.

The phytohormone included in the preparation irritates plant tissue and stimulates the production of “living” cells from which roots grow. Thanks to it, you can effectively revive or propagate the plant. Thanks to Kornevin, you can grow roots.

Stimulation of peduncle ejection

The biostimulator helps speed up the process of peduncle release in orchids. The processes of photosynthesis and metabolism improve.

Kornevin helps the orchid flower stalk to sprout quickly.

Plant tissue begins to actively divide, due to which new shoots appear, on which buds soon form. The plant becomes less susceptible to unfavorable conditions.

Improving seed germination

The product increases seed germination . The impact of stressful situations on planting material is reduced, such as:

Overmoistening of the substrate;
Soil dehydration;
Sudden temperature change.

Kornevin promotes the rapid awakening of embryos in seeds and their germination.

Preparation of the solution

Gardeners and flower growers recommend using the stimulant in diluted form. Kornevin powder is often used in powder form to treat sections to stimulate root formation.

How to proceed:

study the instructions for use;
put on gloves;
Prepare a container of water at room temperature;
measure the required amount of the drug;
combine water with the base, mix everything well until the chemical substance is completely dissolved.

To prepare a small amount of the product, measure out 1 liter of lukewarm clean water and add 1000 mg of Kornevin.

Warning! To prepare the composition, use separate dishes: you cannot take plates and bowls from which family members or animals eat. Plastic or ceramic containers are suitable, but not iron. The finished product is kept away from children and animals. After dissolving the chemical and treating indoor flowers, the remains of the drug are disposed of: the solution based on the growth stimulator cannot be stored for a long time.

Substitutes

In many cases, for rooting cuttings (except, perhaps, coniferous ones), it is possible to replace purchased rootstock with biostimulants of root formation from natural products containing IBA:

A teaspoon of honey is diluted in a liter of water. The cuttings are kept in the solution for 10-12 hours, then planted in the ground. The remainder of the solution is poured into the root hole.
100 g of baker's yeast are diluted in 1 liter of warm water. The cuttings are soaked in the solution for a day and planted in place.

The percentage of rooted cuttings after this treatment is lower than from root, but there is no danger of burning the cuttings with the drug. But observations of the process of vegetative propagation will provide experience that will allow a successful transition to the use of Kornevin and other strong biostimulants.

Dry application

Many people use the drug not only in liquid form, but also in powdery consistency. The use of dry matter requires caution and increased attention to protecting the body from the influence of the components of the chemical.

The main requirement when working with any chemicals is compliance with safety precautions. Wear gloves, a gauze mask, goggles, and protective clothing so that the powder does not accidentally get into the eyes, the mucous membranes of the nose and mouth, or the surface of the skin.

Kornevin is applied in small portions: a small amount to the place where the cutting or leaf is cut. The treated base is placed in the soil for further rooting and growth of the young flower.

The remaining drug is poured into a jar, closed, and a label is attached with the name and expiration date of the substance. It is important to store the growth stimulator in a dark place, away from food and medications.

Rules for handling root

The drug belongs to hazard class 3, and you need to work with it with gloves, and it is better not to throw away the used packaging, but to burn it. The stimulant manufacturer prescribes the following handling precautions:

the drug is not diluted in food containers;
while working, you must not eat, smoke or drink;
If you get it on your hands, wash them immediately with soap;
in case of accidental ingestion of even microscopic doses, you should drink a large amount of water, induce vomiting and take activated charcoal;
The drug is stored in places inaccessible to children.

All components of the root are not phytotoxic and are not carcinogenic, but the recommendations should not be neglected.

Using root crops allows you not only to obtain healthy, strong plants with a powerful root system, but also to achieve the rooting of the most unusual and exotic crops in your area. With its help, it is also easier to learn how to graft different varieties and obtain strong, viable scions.

How to use for garden and indoor plants

Note to flower growers:

At a summer cottage, before planting cuttings, seedlings, seedlings of young fruit trees and bushes, bulbs, flower tubers, the lower parts are treated with powder to stimulate root growth. The desired area is sprinkled with a small amount of the drug or immersed in the working solution 100 mm from the cut side, the excess is shaken off.
If the chemical is used in liquid form, the plants are soaked in it for 2 to 15 hours, then planted in the ground.
You can apply the prepared Kornevin solution directly into the holes or water the plant at the root.
For home flowers, it is advisable to use a diluted composition of reduced concentration and a more delicate effect. Many gardeners use Kornevin in dry form: applied to the underground part of the plant.
A positive effect and complex effect occurs when a growth stimulator is combined with antifungal drugs. The main thing: when mixing the components, no sediment should form in the water. If such a reaction occurs, you should not combine the two selected chemicals.

For seedlings

To grow and harvest a large harvest of vegetables, it is important to prepare strong sprouts with good roots. Experienced flower growers reveal the secrets of using Kornevin during the germination of planting material.

Algorithm:

It all starts with seeds that are treated with a growth stimulant.
Subsequently, the seedlings are transplanted into individual containers as the plant develops.
Before planting prepared seedlings in open ground (hardening is carried out first in the fresh air), it is useful to add diluted Kornevin to the holes or water after transplanting. Solution – 5 g of substance per 5 liters of water.

Treatment improves growth, rooting, resistance to disease and the influence of adverse environmental factors: drought, high air temperature, low humidity, or vice versa, cold snap, frost.

Top dressing

Kornevin is an effective root stimulant, but not a fertilizer, and the product does not replace complex mineral compounds. Chemical and organic substances are added to the substrate taking into account the rules at certain times of the year. If you rely only on Kornevin and refuse to feed, then the growing season will be weak. Other problems will also arise: growth will become slow, yield will be low, flowering will be poor and short-lived.

Important! The florist must remember not only about timely and competent feeding of garden and indoor plants, but also about watering and spraying species in hot weather (morning or evening). For each type there are certain soil moisture standards.

For the roots

Depending on the variety and variety, the form of the drug (powder or liquid), the growth stimulator is used in different ways:

for indoor flowers and seedlings. Add 20–25 ml of solution to each specimen;
holes near the bushes. Add 200–250 ml of diluted growth stimulator;
under the trees. Add a larger volume of product: 2–2.5 liters.

For orchids

If the flower is not maintained correctly, complete or partial loss of roots often occurs. To solve the problem, use Kornevin both diluted and dry.

Algorithm:

Take 5 g of the drug, dissolve well in 5 liters of warm, settled water.
The plant is immersed in the prepared liquid, make sure that the neck of the orchid is above the water, and keep the problem specimen for 10–15 minutes.
The procedure is repeated as necessary, on average 1–2 times, every 10–14 days.
Then the indoor flower is taken out of the liquid and placed in a container for further growth.

You can resuscitate the root system in another way:

A small amount of diluted Kornevin is poured into the container and the flower is placed in the container so that the plant does not come into contact with water.
They put cellophane on top and create a mini-greenhouse.
After 2–3 months, new roots should appear.

Another way to use a growth stimulator:

To form rhizomes, apply powder combined with activated or charcoal in a 1:1 ratio.
In the future, proper care of the plant is needed: watering, spraying, temperature conditions, appropriate air humidity, lighting.
If all of the above conditions are met, the orchid will grow powerful, young roots.

other methods

Other ways to use Kornevin:

The cuttings are treated with a chemical: several longitudinal notches are made above the cut site for more active penetration of the drug. You can apply the stimulant dry or soak the shoot in the solution for 5–10 hours, then plant it in the ground.
Seeds, bulbous and tuberous plants are kept in a liquid substance for 2–3 hours before sowing in the ground.
When young seedlings are transplanted into the soil, they are watered with the prepared mixture at the root 1-2 times, with an interval of 2 weeks.

Possible harm and precautions

If you do not follow the rules of use, you can harm the plant in the following cases:

if the chemical is diluted incorrectly;
due to the discrepancy between the amount of the drug and the norm when applied to the ground;
against the background of prolonged interaction with a part of the plant.
the consequences are dire: the root will not grow, but will rot.

To germinate the underground part of ornamental plants, it is better to use a liquid solution of the substance: it is less aggressive.

Important nuances for protecting the body:

When working with Kornevin, you should protect yourself: you need protective gloves, goggles, and a gauze mask.
Eating and drinking are prohibited during the procedure and a couple of hours after using the growth stimulator for flowers.
Food containers are not used to prepare the solution.
If the substance gets into your mouth, drink a glass of water with added sorbent, consult a doctor if necessary.
