It would be a mistake to think that succinic acid is a fertilizer, because this preparation is nothing more than a biological component, a growth and flowering stimulator, which helps plants absorb the nutrients they need.

An expert of the online publication BelNovosti, agronomist, and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh listed the options for using this product.

It turns out that succinic acid has found its application in pre-sowing treatment.

In order to soak the seeds and subsequently increase their germination, you need to prepare a 0.2% aqueous solution of acid.

This can be done very easily by dissolving 2 g of pure powder first in a small amount of warm water, and then bringing the volume up to 1 l.

Dry seed material should be left in the resulting solution for 12-14 hours, then dried and sown.

In addition, succinic acid can be used as a rooting stimulator. In this case, the concentration should be from 0.5 to 1%.

Place the cuttings cut side down to a depth of approximately 1 cm for a day, and then continue to work on rooting using traditional methods.

In turn, a 0.1% solution of the preparation will help stimulate the growth of shoots and flowering.

The product is applied by spraying before flowering, 2 times a day. 2-3 sprayings will be required.
