Carnations

Application technology:

1. Pre-treatment of grafts and seedlings. Lignohumate solution concentration – 0.05% (5.0 g of Lignohumate A, AM, or 0.025 l of Lignohumate B, BM per 10 l of water). Planting stock treatment (soaking for up to 10-20 hours) by a Lignohumate solution with a consumption rate of 1 l per 50 grafts or 5 seedlings.

2. Foliar dressing at the early ratooning phase. Application rate of the preparation – 30-60 grams of Lignohumate A, AM, or 0.15-0.3 l of Lignohumate B, BM per 1 hectare. Consumption rate of the solution – 200 - 300 l per one hectare. Standard or low-capacity sprayers can be used.

3. Foliar dressing at the early budding phase. Application rate of the preparation – 30-60 grams of Lignohumate A, AM, or 0.15-0.3 l of Lignohumate B, BM per 1 hectare. Consumption rate of the solution – 200 - 300 l per one hectare. Standard or low-capacity sprayers can be used.

4. Foliar dressing at the after-cut phase. Application rate of the preparation – 30-60 grams of Lignohumate A, AM, or 0.15-0.3 l of Lignohumate B, BM per 1 hectare. Consumption rate of the solution – 200 - 300 l per one hectare. Standard or low-capacity sprayers can be used. It is recommended to apply Lignohumate in a mixture with protectors and soluble fertilizers.

5. If an irrigation system is used, then the preparation is to be applied with water several times per season. Lignohumate solution concentration – 0.01% or 10 g of Lignohumate A, AM, or 0.05 l of Lignohumate B, BM per 100 l of watering solution. If drip irrigation is used, then the preparation is to be applied at the last or last-but-one watering 1 time each 7-10 days. Lignohumate solution concentration – 0.01% or 10 g of Lignohumate A, AM, or 0.05 l of Lignohumate B, BM per 100 l of watering solution.

Thus, thanks to the above described properties we have:

- increased crop yield;

- better crop quality (more intensive colouring of leaves and flowers, better density of buds and stalks; better evenness of crop).

By virtue of their physiological requirements it is most preferable to apply to Carnations a potassium form with addition of a set of microelements.
