Biostimulators and hair follicle propagation? How is it?

What is shoot sprouting?

VIDEO: hair fusion a method of vegetative propagation in which the shoot of a plant is cut off and then rooted under suitable conditions to produce a new, independent plant. It is a simple and effective way to produce genetically identical offspring from a parent plant.

...and biostimulators?

VIDEO: biostimulator a natural or synthetic substance that promotes plant growth, development and resistance to environmental stresses. These substances are neither nutrients (like fertilisers) nor pesticides, but stimulate the plants' own physiological processes.

Drive densification in practice

Many plant species can be propagated by stem cuttings, from houseplants to ornamental shrubs and herbs to fruit crops.

Shoot grafting is also known as a method of propagation of fruit tree rootstocks. The methods developed are often supported by scientific research. One such research study has come to our attention in recent weeks, investigating the effects of our Kelpak (Veronika Szabó PhD thesis: the effect of biostimulators Prunus mahaleb rooting of shoot cuttings)

Dr. Veronika Szabó In his 2015 PhD thesis, Prof. Dr. Károly Hrotkó led by.

The effects of biostimulants were tested in two ways

Treatment of breast cancer: In this method, the mother plant colonies were treated with biostimulants to strengthen them before cuttings were taken. From the first lomblevel stage, foliar treatments of 0.2% with Kelpak and two other biostimulants were applied weekly for a total of four times according to the manufacturer's recommendation, while control mother plants were treated with clean water.
- These treatments were carried out for four years and each year all shoots were pruned and inspected. Differently for each variety, but it was observed that Kelpak increased the total shoot weight and photosynthetic activity compared to the control.
- The picture clearly shows the Kelpak, the only hobbyist biostimulator in the trial showed a nice result.

Treatment of cuttings from untreated mother plants: In this experiment, cuttings treated with rooting hormone were treated with biostimulants. The treatment showed significant support in a cultivar that is poorly rooting by default.

Kelpak's shoot-boosting and rooting-enhancing (biostimulant) effects have been confirmed by several experiments

Have you ever thought about trying to propagate one or two of your plants by stem cuttings? Now you can do it, because Kelpak can help you with this. Once the cuttings are in the planting medium, just water them with 2 % (2 dl/10 l) Kelpak solutions and you can be sure of a high emergence rate.
