Tips for using vermicompost for growing seedlings

Many gardeners today prefer liquid vermicompost for seedlings. This organic fertilizer is a concentrated extract of natural humus. In addition, the composition includes biologically active substances, as well as humic acids, high-quality growth stimulants of treated plants, fertilizing microflora, various metabolites of worms, useful amino acids, natural phytohormones, vitamins.

Why use biohumus?

Biohumus improves seed germination and stimulates root formation, germination, strengthening, as well as the development and flowering of small indoor plants. Reduces the amount of nitrates, heavy substances and various radionuclides in agricultural products, increases the level of sugars, vitamins and useful proteins in vegetables and fruits.

When liquid vermicompost is used for seedlings, it becomes possible to produce agricultural products of a sufficiently high quality and level of environmental friendliness, as well as significantly reduce the amount of losses during storage. Ordinary soil contains a huge amount of useful substances that cannot be normally absorbed by plants due to their insolubility. Liquid vermicompost for seedlings enters the plant through the root system, activates mechanisms that contribute to the normal splitting and assimilation of inaccessible nutrients.

The use of a humus solution for seedlings helps to protect the crops from all kinds of diseases. This substance is recommended for use in growing tomatoes, cucumbers in greenhouses. The level of infection of crops with root rot, powdery mildew and other diseases is significantly reduced. The substance has a beneficial effect on the quality of the grown products. In almost all types of plants, the amount of nitrates decreases, but the amount of proteins, sugars and other useful substances contained increases.

So, let's list the main properties of this substance.

1. Stimulation of root formation.
2. Stimulation of germination and good development of crops.
3. Reducing the content of harmful nitrates.
4. Increasing the content of useful vitamins in vegetables and fruits.
5. Elimination of chlorosis, stimulation of the growth of indoor plants.
6. Activation of root formation.
7. Improving the immunity of horticultural crops.
8. Accelerated rooting of small cuttings.
9. Improved yield and accelerated ripening.

What is included?

Liquid vermicompost for seedlings, or a special water extract, contains a full complex of natural environmentally friendly nutrients, a large number of biologically active and humic components, effective stimulants. The beneficial properties of humus are due to the content in its composition of a special microflora secreted by earthworms, as well as various symbiotic microorganisms located in the intestines of the inhabitants of the soil, which contributes to giving the humus bactericidal properties.

Components that biohumus contains:

• humates;
• amino acids;
• natural phytohormones;
• fulvic acids;
• spores of microorganisms living in the soil.

How to use fertilizer?

To improve the germination of seeds of various crops, it is advisable to perform the pre-sowing soaking procedure. This is especially true for crops with low germination energy. Treatment of seeds immediately before sowing with a liquefied extractor promotes accelerated pecking, which as a result increases the volume of the harvested crop and reduces the amount of seeding.The seeds are specially immersed in a solution previously prepared from humus for seedlings, mixed with water in proportions of 1:20. The consumption of the resulting solution should correspond to approximately 0.5 liters per 1 kg of seeds.

The soaking period for all varieties of horticultural crops is different.

• Beans, beans, peas - 6 hours.
• Radish, lettuce, chicory - 12 hours.
• Carrots, parsley, onion, cucumber, dill, pepper, melon - 24 hours.
• Bulbs and tubers must be soaked for about 30 minutes.

After that, you need to water the soil with the prepared solution. The ratio of water and humus is 1:50.

A mixture, the proportions of which are 1: 200, should preferably be used for foliar feeding of various types of crops. It is recommended to use a spray bottle for the correct spraying procedure. It is advisable to feed indoor plants about 2-3 times a month with a mixture of 1:50, and garden, berry, vegetable, etc. crops are processed every week. In autumn and spring, it is advisable to process the soil and all cultivated perennial crops using a solution of liquid humus for seedlings in proportions of 1:20 at the rate of 1-2 liters per 1 sq. m.

Conclusion

Liquid vermicompost for seedlings is suitable for growing almost all plant crops. This substance has a huge number of useful properties that help improve the quality of growth and development of fruits and vegetables.

Many gardeners prefer this substance. The quality and reliability of vermicompost is confirmed by many years of experience. With the correct observance of the indicated proportions, no one has any complaints about the effect on fertilized crops.
