The long-awaited spring brought higher air temperatures, lengthening of daylight, and the beginning of the resumption of spring vegetation of winter crops. Therefore, it is time for farmers to think about how to help the weakened winter to restore spring vegetation, quickly get rid of stress after overwintering, activate the growth and development of the root system and vegetative organs, which will have a positive impact on crop productivity.

“After overwintering, winter crops are in a depressed state, so farmers need to make every effort to help them as soon as possible to restore spring vegetation, activate tillering, provide them with the necessary mineral nutrients, amino acids, biologically active substances to form a sufficient amount of active ingredients.” – Sergey Adamenko, the head of the department of products and services of micro fertilizers of the UKRAVIT company, notes. – To improve the general condition of winter, as well as to quickly get out of stress, in addition to fertilizing with traditional nitrogen fertilizers, I would recommend foliar fertilization with fertilizers with anti-stress effect Avangard Grow Amino, Avangard Grow Humate, and Avangard Stimulus at a dose of 1.0-1.5 l / ha, starting from the spring regrowth of winter.
Auxins, gibberellins, and cytokinins in fertilizers say the expert, stimulate the growth and development of the root system and vegetative organs of plants. Humic and fulvic acids have a positive effect on respiratory processes, activate root formation, increase crop resistance to disease, activate the processes of photosynthesis and carbohydrate metabolism, increase by 15-20% the utilization rates of the main mineral nutrients (N, P, K) from fertilizers and soil. Amino acids accelerate metabolic processes in the tissues of crops, which is manifested in the more intensive synthesis of anti-stress substances, as well as promote better absorption of mineral nutrients, which allows crops to get out of stress faster. And succinic acid is a stimulator of the growth and development of crops, which has an anti-stress effect and improves the metabolic processes of crops.
Fertilizers Avangard Grow Amino, Avangard Grow Humate, and Avangard Stimulus on winter wheat are recommended to be combined in one working solution with fertilizers Avangard Cereals, 2.0 l / ha + Avangard Zinc, 1.5-2.0 l / ha + Avangard Copper, 1, 0 l / ha, and on winter rape – from Avangard Rape, 2.0 l / ha + Avangard Bor 1.0-1.5 l / ha + Avangard Molybdenum, 1.0 l / ha. Such foliar feeding will provide:
– rapid elimination of physiological winter depression after overwintering and its active regrowth;
– activation of growth and development of the root system and increase by 15-20% the absorption of mineral nutrients and water by the root system;
– formation of optimal stem density and laying of generative organs;
– increase crop yields by 15-20%;
– high payback of one lost hryvnia for fertilizers, at least – 3-4 UAH.
Thus, the use of anti-stress fertilizers during this period will help the winter to recover quickly after winter stress and contribute to its full development in the future.
