This video provides a description of the drug and also describes how to use it.

Composition and purpose

“Bud” is used to reduce the number of barren flowers, regulate the formation of ovaries and fruits, stimulate the growth and development of cultivated crops. No negative effects on plant viability were detected.

The drug contains the following components:

• sodium salt of gibberellic acids - stimulating fruit ripening and increasing yield;
• humates - useful and nutritious vitamins, micro- and macroelements, poly- and monosaccharides;
• microelements boron, copper and manganese - improving the process of photosynthesis, increasing resistance to pathogens, controlling the loss of ovaries.

Mechanism of action

The biostimulator can be used for watering and spraying cultivated fruit and ornamental plants, as well as for soaking seeds and tubers before planting. Sodium salt of gibberellic acids and other auxiliary components are especially necessary for plants during the period of vegetative growth and development. Saturation of seeds and tubers with nutrients and beneficial substances helps to increase the percentage of crop germination. Adult crops become more resilient.

Growth Promoter Benefits

Regarding the benefits of using the product, it is worth noting the following factors:

• increasing the percentage of crop germination, survival rate of seedlings and seedlings;
• increase in yield indicators (by 20-35%);
• increasing drought and frost resistance;
• strengthening resistance to pathogens of fungal, bacterial and viral infections;
• reduction in fruit ripening time;
• improving the commercial and taste characteristics of the crop;
• promotion percentage vitamins and minerals in fruits.

Increasing the percentage of crop germination is one of the advantages of “Bud”

Instructions for use

Biogrowth stimulator "Bud" has several forms of release. There are drugs to increase fruiting activity, stimulate flowering and ovary formation in various garden crops, garden and indoor plants.

Table: consumption rates of fruit formation stimulant

Fruit formation stimulator

The most popular form of biological drug is considered to be “Bud. Fruit formation stimulator." The product is used for treating seeds and spraying various vegetable, fruit and flowering crops.

The contents of the package are dissolved in warm water. The dosage of the finished solution and the degree of its concentration may differ significantly:

1. Apple tree - 2 liters of water and 2 g of product. To spray an adult tree you will need 2.5-3 liters of the prepared solution, a young tree - 1 liter.
2. Apricot, cherry, currant bush - 2 liters of water and 2 g of powder. Each plant (young or “old”) requires 1-1.5 liters of ready-made stimulant.
3. Grapes, strawberries - 100 liters of water and 2-4 g of the drug. To treat 100 m² of vineyard or strawberry planting, use 4 liters of liquid.
4. Onion - 2 liters of water and 4 g of activator. This amount of solution is enough to spray 50 m² of garden. The procedure is carried out during the period when the bow is throwing arrows.
5. Cabbage - 2 liters of water and 2-3 g of product. Treatment is carried out at the flowering stage and during the formation period 6, 7 and 8 cabbage leaves. For 50 m² of beds you will need about 2 liters of diluted concentrate.
6. Potatoes - 2 liters of water and 2-4 g of stimulant. To treat 100 kg of planting tubers, you need to prepare 1 liter of solution. To spray the beds during flowering (100 m²), you will need at least 4 liters of liquid stimulating fruit formation.

For cucumbers, zucchini and squash

Processing of squash, cucumbers and zucchini is carried out three times per season:

• after the formation of the first leaf plate;
• at the stage of inflorescence formation;
• at the initial stage of ovary formation.

For tomatoes, peppers, eggplants

The finished solution (2 liters of water and 2 g of product) is enough to treat 40 m² of garden or greenhouse. The first spraying of tomatoes, eggplants and peppers is carried out at the stage of bud formation, the subsequent ones - during the flowering period of the first, second and third clusters.

Failure to comply with the above deadlines is the reason for the lack of results from treatment with a fruit formation activator.

For garden and indoor flowers

2 liters of water require 2 g concentrated powder. Treatment is carried out at the stages of flowering and budding, as well as when planting/transplanting flowers. In rare cases, it can be replaced with the drug "Uniflor Bud".

Hazard class and precautions

Biological plant growth stimulator belongs to drugs of medium toxicity - the third danger group. The fruit formation activator must be used strictly for its intended purpose. Remains of the finished solution and original packaging cannot be stored. The product and storage bag must be discarded.

Working with Buton requires personal protective equipment. We are talking about overalls, a respirator, safety glasses and gloves. If the product comes into contact with mucous membranes or skin, immediately treat the affected area. soap solution and rinse thoroughly with running water.

Upon completion of work, you need to change clothes, wash your hands well with laundry soap, wash and rinse your mouth with water.

Working with a biostimulator requires the availability of personal protective equipment

Shelf life and storage conditions

The guaranteed shelf life of the biological growth stimulator is 24 months from the production date indicated on the packaging. According to reviews from summer residents, when improper storage the original qualities and biological properties of the product are lost.

“Bud” should be stored in a sealed bag. Recommended temperature range is from -30 to +30 °C. The room must be dry and well ventilated. Exposure to direct sunlight is undesirable. Please note that chemical-based products pose a serious risk to children and pets.

Any fertilizer, including the biogrowth stimulator "Bud", must be used wisely. Increasing the concentration of the solution, incorrect dosage and failure to comply with processing times can negatively affect the growth and development of plants.

The main task of the agrarian is to provide comfortable conditions for the growth and development of plants that he planted in the ground. Various drugs help to achieve success in this. agriculture. In this case, several have to be used simultaneously: for protection, to replenish vitamins and minerals in the soil.

In order for the culture to develop normally, the introduction of phytohormones, such as cytokines, acids and auxin, is required. Fertilizer Bud contains all the necessary hormones that act as a growth stimulator. These elements not only help in the development of fruits, but are also useful for shoots and planting material.

Composition and description of the drug

Bud is a whole line of fertilizer mixtures. Each has its own purpose, but the main goal remains stimulation:

• fruiting;
• flowering;
• growth and development.

In addition, the fruit formation stimulator Bud actively influences development. The positive directions of the line include increasing the resistance of crops to adverse weather and climatic conditions. Helps improve metabolic processes and enhance immunity.

The production of Florist Bud and Uniflor Bud is carried out by a company that has long been developing a complex of fertilizer formulations (growth stimulants, including) - the Green Belt Technoexpert brand.

The active substance in the line's fertilizers is the sodium salt of gibberellic acid. It is necessary for every cell of the plant. Therefore, the culture diligently tries to extract it from all substances (water, air, soil). Since there are more than 100 types of this acid in the environment, almost all of them were included in the preparation.

Created artificially to make it possible to receive high result(growth and development) even when processing old seeds. At the same time reducing the ripening period and increasing the yield as a percentage.

Humates entered the Bud. The component is natural, natural. It can be obtained from:

• plant residues;
• peat extract;
• manure;

Potassium humate, which is in Buton, is not just natural microelements and vitamins. There are polysaccharides and monosaccharides, more than a dozen useful substances.

In order for a culture to develop quickly and without problems, a certain amount of useful microelements is required:

1. Bor. Prevents premature leaf fall, death of the root system and buds. Helps strengthen the immune system to protect against diseases and infections.
2. Copper. Necessary to reduce harmful substances, which culture receives from environment. Also increases resistance to fungal spores.
3. Manganese. The element is an active participant in cellular photosynthesis. Due to the balance in the fruits and a sufficient amount of manganese, you can get a yield that is 2 times larger than the usual volumes. The quality of the grown product increases.

Important! Both types of Bud contain required quantity micro and macroelements. Therefore, the application is required according to the purpose and predetermination of the product. The fruit stimulator bud will serve as a help in the garden. The second type of drug Bud is intended exclusively for flowers in the garden and at home.

Advantages of the product

By choosing the drug Bud, the gardener receives an excellent tool for crop control and crop development without the presence of harmful substances. But not only this is a positive point for the choice. Improving the quality of fruits (taste and appearance), safe use for all types of crops. No toxic effects. And also:

• can be used for ovary and flowering;
• the survival rate and germination rate of seedlings and seedlings improves by 2-3 times;
• the characteristics of fruits of all varieties differ from other types that were processed by other means;
• ripening accelerates up to a week;
• immunity is strengthened, which helps plants withstand frost, drought, and other natural phenomena;
• increasing resistance to infectious and fungal diseases.

From negative aspects highlight the cost of drugs. But most users argue that it is not worth saving money if in return the farmer receives a profit and an improved product.

Methods of using a growth stimulator

The bud is used for all types of crops. Suitable for perennial plants, seeds and annual crops. Methods of use are suggested by the manufacturer and described in the instructions for use:

Instructions for use

First of all, choose the type of preparation: Bud for garden and indoor flowers or for fruit formation. For maximum results, you should study the instructions and choose the method of application. The fertilizer is in powder form and is diluted in water.

Standard packaging: 2 g per bag. This is enough to obtain a liter of working mixture. The manufacturer recommends breeding strictly according to the proposed scheme.

Dilution of the drug

If Buton's working solution is prepared correctly, no sediment will be observed. To make the drug useful and effective, we follow the rules:

• the container for dilution must be dry, special (only for Bud);
• Initially, fertilizers are diluted in a small amount of water until completely dissolved;
• add liquid to the required volume. Use warm water. Under no circumstances should it be cold. Because this causes stress for any plant.

For each type of plant, the working solution must be fresh. Separate formulas are used:

1. For indoor flowers make a 1 percent solution (add 1 g of Bud to 1 liter of water). Treatment is carried out at the budding stage. As for the flowering period, it is better not to carry out any manipulations. Possible damage to appearance. Provided that the flower has suffered a disease, is weak or is developing poorly for other reasons, experts recommend spraying at least 3 times, adhering to a time interval (a week).
2. For garden flowers a 2% spray solution is used. But it is better to soak at the seed stage. For soaking, the formula is: half a liter of water + 2 g of Bud. Leave for 12 hours. Dry and plant in the ground.
3. Vegetables. During the growing season, tomatoes, eggplants, and cucumbers are processed. The solution is made at 1% for the first time, subsequent times a 2% mixture of Bud is used. Typically it takes up to 1 liter of mixture per 10-20 square meters. m. For cabbage, the technique for breeding and using Bud is similar to tomatoes. But the first treatment is done after the first 5 leaves appear.
4. Potato. Planting material soak in a solution: 3 liters of water + 5 g of Bud. This displacement is enough for 150-200 kg of potatoes. After the flowers appear, spray using a 1% solution.
5. Berry and fruit bushes(trees). If young trees are planted, then you can spray or soak the rhizomes. Adult bushes and trees are sprayed at the rate of: 1 l - young tree, 3 l - adult, shrubs - from 0.5 to 1.5 l per unit. The solution is made 2%.

For productivity and rapid growth culture, the bud is not used in the presence of diseases. Only after treatment as a stimulant and restorer.

Precautions

Bud is a product that was created in a laboratory. Which means the presence of chemical and artificial elements. Therefore, you should not discount the presence of a hazard class. For the Bud stimulator it is average (3 - 4).

Application can only be subject to strict adherence to the instructions, in compliance with safety measures.

A farmer who purchased the drug Bud for his garden must protect his face. Mucous membranes and skin of the hands. Regardless of the hazard class, some trace elements can cause an allergic reaction. As protective equipment use:

• gloves and rubber boots;
• glasses and respirator;
• robe.

When starting to work with the drug, you should put it away drinking water, I'm going. Smoking and drinking liquids is prohibited. Buton's working solution cannot be stored.

Help with poisoning

Provided that the mixture has somehow entered the oral cavity, rinsing will not be enough. To avoid poisoning, the stomach is washed and taken activated carbon. If necessary, seek help from a hospital.

If a rash, itching or other allergic manifestations appear, you should immediately stop working with the substance, remove the protective suit, and take a shower with laundry soap. Then take hypoallergenic medications.

How to store the drug

All fertilizer mixtures must be stored in a special room. Distinctive rules from general recommendations growth stimulator Bud does not have:

• temperature conditions should not exceed 30 degrees;
• low humidity levels;
• close tightly;
• keep away from other substances, food, liquids and medicines;
• Keep animals and children away.

Be sure to check the expiration dates of the powder before purchasing. Ready solution do not store for more than a day.

Conclusion

Growth stimulator Bud is used as a universal remedy not only for weak plants that have suffered from diseases. It helps restore development after stress and strengthen the immune system.

The substance is actively used for seed and planting material. Based on reviews left by users, Bud is characterized as an excellent gardening assistant, garden plot and at home.

My aunt is a big fan of dacha farming and grows various flowers, vegetables and herbs. She still had an unused packet of fruit formation stimulator Bud P, which she recommended that I use to speed up the flowering of indoor plants, as well as stimulate those that refuse to bloom despite adequate care to bloom.

There are 10 g in a bag. The cost is 35 rubles. Instructions for use can be read in the photograph. I’ll say right away that this type of Bud is used mainly for spraying garden plants and soaking the bulbs, and besides it there is a stimulator called Bud in a smaller package (3g), recommended specifically for flowers. But I had one, and I used it.

When Bud P is dissolved in water, a cloudy solution is obtained, which must be thoroughly shaken before spraying or watering the plants. The result, in general, was obvious. As a result of 3 waterings with an interval of 10 days, Zephyranthes bloomed in early April (last year they began to bloom in early June), and after artificial pollination, unusually large bulbs with seeds were formed, much larger than last year. Chinese rose, which did not want to produce buds, but only grew leaves, became covered with buds in mid-April. The tree-like aloe has released a peduncle (in fact, it blooms inconspicuously, but this is also the result). The Hoyas have not yet responded. Now I would like to stimulate Schlumbergers and Decembrists in the fall, because Decembrists have stopped blooming altogether (since plastic windows were installed).

It is believed that stimulants slightly undermine the health of plants, but sometimes it is necessary for them to bloom in early dates. Probably Bud is not the most effective remedy, but also quite applicable.

Every owner of a summer cottage dreams of an unprecedented harvest of vegetables, a gardener dreams of a miracle fruit, and an amateur florist has been trying for many years to grow his own scarlet flower. Today, the dream of each of them is easily realized. The drug "Bud" - a stimulator of growth and fruit formation - indispensable assistant on summer cottage and in the garden.

Composition of the drug Buton

Before using Bud to stimulate the growth of flowers and vegetables, you need to study its composition and instructions for use. We’ll get acquainted with the instructions later, but now let’s try to figure out the unclear names of the substances that make up the drug.

Active active substance – sodium salt of gibberellic acids. Each cell of a plant needs for growth and development, in addition to nutrients minerals and water that they extract from the environment (soil, air), various chemicals. Scientists have discovered more than 100 gibberellic acids in plants, which are natural growth hormones, and have learned to produce them artificially (synthetic substances). Gibberellic acids stimulate the germination of even old seeds, increase yield, and shorten the period of fruit ripening.

Humates. Natural, natural ingredients, obtained from plant residues, peat extracts, manure, sludge. Potassium humate, which is part of the Bud, is a whole complex of natural microelements, vitamins, mono and polysaccharides and other useful substances.

Microelements. For plants to grow and develop, a small amount of microelements is enough. Fertile, well-fertilized soils independently compensate for their deficiency.

• If a plant lacks boron, it is susceptible to diseases, the ovary falls off, and the roots and apical buds gradually die off.
• Copper increases resistance to fungal and viral diseases, reduces environmental impact.
• Manganese takes part in cell photosynthesis, increases the yield and quality of fruits.

Purpose of growth stimulator Bud

The bud is available as two products.

The manufacturer offers two types of products: “Bud for garden and indoor flowers” ​​and “Bud stimulator of fruit formation.” Both drugs contain substances that stimulate own strength plants, for abundant flowering and fruiting, promote rapid development, accelerate ripening and improve the quality of fruits.

Flowers. Processing "Bud" indoor flowers allows you to quickly increase the green mass of the plant, improves them appearance, helps in stressful situations(violation temperature regime, humidity). Flowering plants receive additional nutrition, due to which the number and size of flowers increases.

Seed treatment for gardening plantings, it improves germination and ensures the survival rate of seedlings. Spraying during the budding period stimulates plants to form additional flower buds, and the duration of flowering increases.

Vegetables. Soaking vegetable seeds in “Bud” allows you to get early, strong and healthy shoots. If you spray established seedlings, they will better tolerate acclimatization, develop faster and grow young shoots. Repeated treatment at the time of flowering reduces the formation of barren flowers and increases the number of ovaries by vegetable crops, reduces the ripening period. Seed potatoes treated with the drug produce vigorous shoots that are less susceptible to diseases.

Horticultural crops. To increase the ovary on fruit trees, “Bud” is used to treat the plantings during the beginning of flowering and the formation of the ovary. The product stimulates the formation of fruits, preserves the ovary in unfavorable weather conditions, and increases the size of berries and fruits.

Method of use of the drug

Manufacturers offer several ways to use Bud.

Soaking seeds. For better germination and fast shoots seeds are soaked in a solution of the drug Bud before planting. If it is necessary to soak several varieties of seeds, they are placed in a cloth, having first moistened it well. The seeds are placed in a container with a solution, then planted in the ground, slightly dried.

Follow the instructions for use carefully.

Spraying. Spraying is carried out at different stages of plant growth: for better survival of seedlings, the formation of green mass, increasing the number of ovaries and preventing them from falling off.

Processing potato tubers. Planting material is scattered in a place closed from drafts. The potatoes are moistened with the prepared solution, allowed to dry, turned over and moistened generously again. If the quantity of potatoes is small, they can be soaked in the solution for several hours and dried and planted. Bulbs and tubers of perennial plants are also treated using the soaking method.

Instructions for use of the stimulator Bud

So that the drug Bud brings maximum benefit, and the harvest pleased you and surprised your neighbors, use it in accordance with the instructions. The soluble powder is packaged in 2 gram bags. Easily diluted, has no sediment. According to the instructions, the dilution rate is 1-2 grams per liter of water. Questions often arise: - How to properly dilute the drug? What water is best to use? Do we pour the product into water or vice versa?

Several rules for diluting solutions:

• We prepare all solutions for treating plants in special containers.
• Pour the product into a small amount of water and stir well. It is better to take warm water, the drug will dissolve faster.
• Add water to the required volume. The water should not be very cold. Processing cold water, after a hot day can cause stress in the plant (buds and ovaries fall off).

Attention! To prepare a one percent solution, dilute 1 gram of the drug in a liter of water. To get a two percent solution, take 2 grams of the drug per liter of water, etc.

Garden flowers:

Soaking seeds - 2 grams per 0.5 liter of water, soaking time 10-12 hours.

Soaking bulbous and tuberous perennials - 2 grams per 2 liters of water, consumption 1 liter per 1 kg (for dahlias 3 l/1 kg).

Spraying with a one percent solution during the period of seedling survival and before flowering.

Precautions

1. Use the drug only for treating plants.
2. While working, use personal protective equipment (mask, goggles, gloves).
3. Prepare the solution immediately before use.
4. Dispose of unused solution.
5. After work, wash your hands, glasses, gloves with detergent.
6. Store all tools used for work out of the reach of animals and children.

When processing, use personal protective equipment.

First aid for poisoning

If poisoning occurs:

1. The solution got into the mouth and stomach. It is necessary to do a gastric lavage and drink activated charcoal.
2. The solution got into my eyes. Rinse with plenty of running water.
3. The solution entered the lungs. If you are hypersensitive to the components, an allergic reaction may occur. Stop work and move to a safe place. Take off your clothes; there may be solution on them, this will worsen the situation.

Attention! Any poisoning is dangerous to your health, be sure to visit a doctor.

Storage

The drug belongs to hazard class III. It is non-toxic, does not cause poisoning of insects and animals, and does not destroy the soil structure. Shelf life: 2 years.

It is recommended to store in a dry place at temperatures up to + 30 degrees. Does not lose its properties when dropped to – 30 degrees. After the expiration date, the drug must be disposed of. Make sure that the packaging is not damaged and keep it away from children and animals.

Watch the video material about the growth stimulator Bud.

During the growing season, the plant often encounters various unfavorable factors, complicating development and reducing productivity. The modern chemical industry has developed a number of drugs that can help plants restore their strength.

Article outline

Description of fertilizer "Bud"

Two manufacturers produce Bud fertilizer on the Russian market - Florist and Uniflor. Customer reviews claim that the effects of the drugs are identical.

The drug effectively stimulates the processes of growth and fruit formation, helps the plant to resume full development. The use of the drug increases productivity by 30%, increases the number of ovaries formed, and accelerates the ripening of fruits. Plants treated with fertilizer can more easily tolerate transplantation, drought, and lack of solar radiation. The ability to resist fungal, bacterial and viral infections increases.

The composition of the fertilizer "Bud" includes:

• Humates;
• Gibberellic acids;
• Macroelements – nitrogen, magnesium and others;
• Microelements – copper, boron.

It is distinguished by a high content of potassium, necessary for flowering and fruit formation. Under conditions of potassium deficiency, flower petals wither prematurely and the ovaries may fall off, significantly reducing the number of fruits.

The drug is available in the form of a concentrated solution. The fertilizer “Bud” should be diluted according to the instructions, in soft, warm water. In conditions low temperatures A crystalline precipitate may form at the bottom of the container with the drug.

Application for garden plants

Fertilizer effectively reduces the amount of barren flowers and promotes the accumulation of sugars and starch. The product is suitable for all types of vegetable and green crops, but is especially important for plants sensitive to potassium deficiency.

Cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers

Treatment with the drug can begin during pre-sowing preparation of seeds. Fertilizing with “Bud” fertilizer allows you to increase the number of sprouted seeds and facilitate the formation of the root system. To soak the seeds, 5 ml of the drug is diluted in a glass of water. Soaking time should not exceed 8 hours. If you plan to germinate seeds before planting in the ground, they must be washed under running water.

Treating seedlings before planting can reduce stress levels and help the plant quickly restore development.

Application of fertilizer by foliar method reduces the number of barren flowers and improves the taste of the fruit.

Beetroot, onion, green crops

They suffer most from a lack of potassium in the soil. Potassium deficiency significantly reduces the yield of marketable products; hard fibers may appear in root vegetables. Plants are easily affected by fungal infections and are poorly stored.

To eliminate potassium deficiency, regularly spray with fertilizer throughout the growing season. For processing square meter One liter of solution is required for planting. Treatment must be carried out at least twice a month.

Potato

To get good harvest potatoes, application potash fertilizer Necessarily. Fertilizer application begins during potato flowering and is repeated every two weeks.

Use for flowers and ornamental plants

Plants' need for potassium increases during flowering and active seed formation. The use of “Bud” fertilizer for flowers and decorative foliage plants prolongs the flowering phase and increases the number of buds formed.

Treatment of ornamental plants can improve the appearance and increase the contrast of multi-colored leaves. To save expensive drugs, foliar fertilization is most often carried out, but the root method of applying fertilizers is also very effective. Spraying with fertilizer does not leave plaque or stains on the leaves, maintaining their decorative appearance.

To fertilize, 1 ml of concentrate is diluted in a liter of water. Spray the leaves until completely moistened. Foliar feeding should be carried out in calm, dry weather, early in the morning or at sunset.

Feeding indoor plants

The addition of potassium preparations makes it possible to achieve long flowering even in difficult-to-flower plants such as orchids. Treatment with “Bud” fertilizer prolongs the flowering phase, stimulates the formation of new buds, and prevents premature wilting. For best result It is advisable to fertilize regularly, at least once a month.

Many indoor plants do not stop growing winter period. In conditions high temperature air and lack of sunlight, plants lose their ability to resist fungal and bacterial infections which can lead to death. Applying fertilizer can improve immunity and reduce the risk of infection.

In the series of fertilizers from “Uniflor”, in addition to “Bud”, a fertilizer “Flower” has been developed, which includes a special substance that helps indoor plants postpone the winter period.

Application for trees and berry bushes

Blooming of the majority fruit trees and berry bushes are often threatened by return frosts. Trees weakened by flowering find it difficult to resist adverse influence. Early spring the most active disputes causing fungal diseases, which can not only reduce the yield, but also destroy the plant. Adverse weather factors can reduce immunity, causing the tree or shrub to easily become sick. Fertilizing with Bud fertilizer is useful for increasing the ability to resist various diseases.

Trees and shrubs are sprayed with a working solution, starting from the pink bud phase. Repeat feeding at intervals of up to two times a month. Applying fertilizer during fruit ripening helps produce tastier, sweeter and more beautiful fruits and berries. The number of prematurely fallen fruits is also reduced.
