Soaking and sowing seeds

To pre-activate beneficial microorganisms from the drug, the soil for seedlings is shed with a working solution 2 weeks before planting seeds. In this case, the temperature of the earth should be at least + 10 ° С. So that the soil does not dry out, the cups are covered with a film and cleaned in a warm place.

If the seeds were soaked in the Baikal EM-1 preparation, the soil was spilled by them, then foliar seedlings may not be needed.

If the plants are stunted, poorly developed, then they should be sprayed with a solution of this drug of low concentration. But this can only be done when the second pair of true leaves or later is fully formed on the plants.
