Some crop seeds take a very long time to germinate, sometimes up to 2-3 weeks.

If you have to deal with such plants, use the advice of the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh and speed up the germination process by spreading the seeds on cotton pads and moistening them with special solutions.

You will find out exactly which ones from this article.

Based on Trichoderma

Trichoderma protects seeds, stimulates their germination, and accelerates the growth of the root system. To prepare a solution, of course, it is better to use the preparation in liquid form.

With citric acid

"Lemonka" effectively stimulates even slow-germinating seeds and also serves as a growth stimulant for sprouts.

Despite the fact that citric acid does not have antibacterial properties, its benefits for plants are quite significant, but, as they say, less talk – more to the point. To prepare a solution, it is enough to mix 2 grams of acid in a liter of water.

It is noteworthy that citric acid solution can be combined with Trichoderma solution without any problems.

Based on magnesium nitrate

Magnesium nitrate is known to be an excellent source of magnesium for plants. To use, dilute 2-3 grams of nitrate in a liter of water.

It should be noted that magnesium nitrate is compatible with the already mentioned trichoderma and citric acid.
