Radish (protected ground)

Application technology:

1. Seed pre-treatment*. Application rate of the preparation – 20 g of Lignohumate A, AM, or 100 ml of Lignohumate B, BM per 1 kg of seeds. Seed treatment (soaking for up to 10-12 hours) by a Lignohumate solution with consumption rate of 3 l per 1 kg of seeds. Combination with protectants or bio-preparations is recommended.

2. Foliar dressing during the phase when 1 to 3 regular leaves are grown. Lignohumate solution concentration – 0.05% or 50 g of Lignohumate A, AM, or 0.25 l of Lignohumate B, BM per 100 l of water. Standard or low-capacity sprayers can be used.

3. Foliar dressing at the early root formation phase. Lignohumate solution concentration – 0.05% or 50 g of Lignohumate A, AM, or 0.25 l of Lignohumate B, BM per 100 l of water. Standard or low-capacity sprayers can be used. It is recommended to apply Lignohumate in a mixture with protectors and soluble fertilizers.

4. 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 merchantability of the products; (better evenness of root crop);

- crop quality improvement (higher sugar content, but a smaller % of nitrates and heavy metal salts).

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