General Recommendations |
|
These recommendations are based on 'The list of pesticides allowed for use
in Russian Federation', regulations issued by The Institute of Plant Protection
Russ. Acad. Agric. Sci., and other Russian authorities. Therefore, the recommendations
are applicable in Russia only, and may be partially or entirely changed in other
countries, depending on requirements of local laws and regulations.
Albit combines properties of a plant growth regulator, biofungicide,
fertilizer and an antidote (antistress agent). Now, Albit has already been
registered as a plant growth regulator
(Nr 09-00496-0378-1), and as a fungicide
(Nr 0470-06-107-150-1-1-3-1).
The main ways of using Albit are:
- As an antidote, Albit is used with herbicides,
increasing yields of cereals, sugar beet, sunflower, buckwheat, soybean, and
flax averagely by 16.6% (up to 68%). Addition of Albit to herbicides (just 88
roubles/hectare of additional expenses) provides 1.2–9.9 centners/hectare of average extra yield
of cereals, 25.7 centners/hectare of sugar beet, 6.8 centners/hectare of buckwheat. Treatment
with Albit also protects plants from drought and leaf diseases.
- Presowing seed treatment of cereals,
sunflower, soybean,
millet, pea
è buckwheat. t is possible to use
combinations of Albit with the minimal recommended doses
of fungicides, or (depending on the infection level) to replace them partially or
completely with Albit. Since for the majority of crops the cost of treatment with Albit is
less than 50 roubles/tonne of seeds, the total cost of seed treatment might be reduced
by 25–90%. Seed treatment with Albit provides additionally 3.8 centners/hectare of winter
wheat, 3.7 centners/hectare of spring barley, 3.0 centners/hectare of sunflower, 4.7
centners/hectare of soybean, 2.4 centners/hectare of pea. Protection of plants against
root rots and advancing immunization against soil and leaf infections are also provided.
- Joint use of Albit with insecticides
is capable to increase productivity of cereals,
potato, vegetables by 36.1% on average (in case of
(canola up to 93%) in comparison with pure insecticides. Spraying
of wheat with combination of Albit and insectoacarycides against chinch increases gluten content
in grain by 1.2–4.6%.
- Application of Albit together with mineral fertilizers
makes possible reduction of fertilizer application rates averagely
by 10-30%. Addition of Albit to solution of urea or to other liquid nitric fertilizers,
helps to avoid stress (burns) of plants.
- Protection of apple and
vine, that makes possible 2-3 fold reduction of chemical
fungicide amounts, and harvesting of ecologically pure organic production through partial
replacement of scheduled chemical fungicide treatments with Albit.
- Pre-planting treatment of tubers and foliar spraying of
potato with Albit in alternation with chemical fungicides partially replaces the
chemical treatments.
- Treatment of vegetables, which makes possible
partial or entire replacement of growth promoters, fungicides, and fertilizers.
- Stimulation of fodder grasses (galega, alfalfa,
clover, vetch) regrowth after skewing.
- Induction of flowering of decorative plants and increasing
its duration.
From the point of view of economy of technical resources,
Albit is recommended to use together with the scheduled treatment
with seed treatment agents, fungicides, herbicides, liquid fertilizers. In this
case dates for treatment with Albit can even be shifted a bit regarding to
recommended ones, since in any case use of the Albit in first half of vegetation
guarantees the positive result. Terms of use of Albit and frequency
rate (number of treatments) are less important, than observance of application
rates. Doses from 30 up to 50 ml of the Albit per
ton of seeds or per hectare of crops are optimal for the majority of crops
(Table 1). Reduction in a dose
will result in reduction of effectiveness. Excess
over application rates does not give a visible increase of effectiveness for
the majority of crops (and, therefore, it is sensless from the economic point
of view). Moreover, in case of vegetable crops significant excess of the Albit
decrease its effect of due to superfluous stimulation.
