Application Methods

Fertigation — soil irrigation with the product through watering systems;
Seed or seedling treatment (soaking) before sowing or planting;
Root and basal stem treatment for enhanced nutrient uptake and plant protection;
Foliar application — spraying branches, twigs, leaves, flowers, and fruits.

1. Soil Irrigation

Suitable for trees, shrubs, industrial crops, aromatic and medicinal plants. The root system can be watered directly or via a drip irrigation system. Dosage: from 5 liters per hectare for high-quality soil to 8-10 liters per hectare for low-quality soil per season. Enhanced effect: you can add 1–3 kg of ammonium nitrate per hectare to the tank.

2. Seed or Seedling Treatment Before Sowing or Planting

Soaking seeds in a Relikt-R working solution increases germination energy and accelerates sprouting. This treatment benefits cereals, vegetables, flowers, spices, medicinal herbs, and other plant species. A protective film forms on the seed surface, aiding activation. Dosage: 0.5 liters of Relikt-R per 1 tonne of seeds, prepared into 20–25 liters of working solution.

3. Root and Basal Stem Treatment

When no irrigation system (e.g., drip) is used, watering at the plant base and root zone is recommended. Concentration: same as for orchard canopy spraying — 1 liter of Relikt-R per hectare. Preparation: Make 40–45 liters of concentrated working solution, then dilute into a sprayer or tank with a 300–400 liter capacity.

4. Foliar Application (Spraying)

Relikt-R is applied in the early stages of vegetation in all crops, both in open fields and protected environments (greenhouses, tunnels), especially during transplanting. Can be used alone or in combination with fertilizers and plant protection products. Recommended for use with every fungicide, herbicide, and insecticide application — it enhances pesticide efficiency while neutralizing their toxic residues.

Pre-application tip: In greenhouses or tunnels, spray plants with clean water first to remove dust and debris; after 30–60 minutes, apply Relikt-R.

4.1. Non-Fruit Crops

Cereals, industrial crops, forage plants, aromatic and medicinal herbs, vegetables, planting material, and horticulture: for treatment of 1 hectare, dissolve 0.5 liters of Relikt-R in 20–25 liters of water and mix well. Add this working solution to a 330–400 liter sprayer (atomizer). When mixing with other products, always add the Relikt-R working solution first.

4.2. Fruit Crops and Grapes

The application is the same as for cereals, except that the working solution is twice as concentrated. For 1 hectare, dissolve 1 liter of Relikt-R in 40–45 liters of water and add to the sprayer.

Relikt-R is compatible with all plant protection products except those rich in copper (which, as a rule, should not be mixed with any other substances).

In its concentrated form, mixing Relikt-R with other products or agrochemicals is not allowed.

Nutritional Value Data

5.1. Nutritional Level or Percentage (%) of Yield Increase (Leaf Mass) or Improvement in Fruit Quality:

The primary component of this special fertilizer is humic acids, which stimulate plant growth and development by activating microbiological processes and enhancing microbial biomass activity in the soil. In addition to their biological effects, they also improve the chemical and physical properties of soils—particularly heavy clay and light sandy soils, as well as soils with low organic matter content—by enhancing structure, water-air balance, cation and anion exchange capacity, buffering ability, and more. Through the activation and stimulation of microbiological processes, humic acids mobilize nutrients from the solid phase of the soil, improving plant nutrition—especially with phosphorus, sulfur, silicon, and microelements such as Fe, Mn, Cu, and Zn.

In the soil, humic acids act as chelating agents, particularly for microelements originating both from the soil and from applied fertilizers, thereby improving plant uptake of these essential nutrients. They also form stable gels with calcium, magnesium, and other multivalent ions necessary for plant nutrition, keeping these elements within the root zone and enhancing their availability to plants. Moreover, humic acids positively influence the supply of nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur, and microelements by converting the aliphatic parts of their molecules from organic into mineral forms during mineralization. These nutrients then appear in the soil solution in ionic forms readily available for plant uptake.

Humic acids also exhibit a biostimulant effect, improving seed germination, root development, nutrient absorption, and resilience against abiotic stress.

Foliar application of humic acids is associated with enhanced photosynthesis, growth, and plant development, making it particularly effective after periods of stress caused by abiotic or biotic factors.

Treating seeds or seedlings with humic acids results in higher germination efficiency, stimulated root growth and proper rooting, as well as better plant nutrition during the early stages of development.
