This year we are done with radishes.
But so that next year, starting from early spring, you can already enjoy juicy vitamin salads with radishes, and just eat them and enjoy them - we conducted our research.

Fertilizers based on humic acids are widely used as a growth stimulant in the cultivation of various crops.
Fertilizers based on humic acids, obtained from both peat and leonardite, can not boast a high content of nutrients. And this does not allow humates to be used as a full-fledged foliar fertilizer.



Views on the effectiveness of humates enriched with macro- and micronutrients are diametrically opposed.

Chebarkulskaya Ptitsa has developed a technology for the production of fertilizer based on humic acids, potassium humate "Bioresource".
To increase nutritional value, we have developed the "Rich Harvest" and "Effective Ovary" recipes.



The "Rich harvest" is liquid potassium humate “Bioresource” containing 2% forms of nitrogen available to plants, potassium available to plants (in terms of K₂O) 3% and available sulfur 0.2%.
The effective ovary is liquid potassium humate “Bioresurs” with an available boron content of 1%.

Our research is about the effectiveness of new recipes for potassium humate “Bioresource” when growing radishes.



Research in the conditions of the northern forest-steppe of the Chelyabinsk region.
The object of research was an 18-day radish hybrid.
In the experimental variants, one-time foliar feeding was done, as well as spraying the soil before sowing. The experiment was repeated three times. The studied parameters were determined in a zootechnical laboratory. In the control variant, treatments were carried out with water.
Bioresource fertilizers had a significant impact on radish yields.

The influence of Bioresource fertilizers on the yield and biometric parameters of radishes


*foliar feeding
**spraying the soil before sowing

The maximum mass of stems was formed when potassium humate “Bioresource” was added "Rich harvest".

The maximum weight of root crops, on the contrary, was minimal in the control. Against the background of treatments with Bioresource fertilizers, the content of dry substances in root crops decreased. The size of root crops increased against the backdrop of an increase in the application rate and nutritional value of the fertilizer.

In the control variant, the yield was 1.12 kg/m².
Potassium humate "Bioresource" with a single foliar feeding at a rate of 3 l/ha provided an increase in yield of 0.1 kg/m². The introduction of nitrogen, potassium and sulfur into the fertilizer (Rich Harvest recipe) provided a maximum increase of 0.46 kg/m² with a single foliar application at a rate of 3 l/ha in combination with presowing soil spraying at a rate of 10 l/ha.
The introduction of boron provided an increase of 0.13 kg/m² with a single foliar treatment at a rate of 3 l/ha in combination with presowing spraying of the soil at a rate of 10 l/ha.
Options with applying Bioresource fertilizer once per leaf at a rate of 3 l/ha provided an increase compared to the control by 0.27 and 0.1 kg/m², respectively.

Thus, the maximum increase in yield was obtained in the variant with the addition of potassium humate “Bioresource” Rich Harvest.
Compared to the control, the yield increased by 41%, compared to the option where foliar treatment was carried out with potassium humate without additional nutrients - by 14%.

Thus, for lush beds and pink, bright, juicy radish fruits, we recommend the Rich Harvest Recipe as a liquid organomineral fertilizer for radishes.
