THE PROVEN STIMULATION OF WINTER RAPE PLANTS IN AUTUMN THROUGH THE USE OF THE PLANT BIOSTIMULANT AIKS®
Currently, experiments and research conducted with AIKS® have consistently demonstrated significant positive results when using appropriate soil additives for autumn biostimulation of winter rapeseed crops. Winter rapeseed is a highly demanding crop in terms of nutrition and fertilization, as it already extracts significant amounts of nitrogen, potassium, and other essential elements such as sulfur and phosphorus from the soil during autumn. Therefore, it is crucial to optimize pre-planting fertilization and, as a general rule, carry out autumn fertilization from the second half of September based on the crop’s condition. The application of the recommended dosage of AIKS® is particularly beneficial in this regard, proving to be especially effective under conditions of severe dryness and elevated temperatures, as well as in cold or humid conditions.
THE MOST SIGNIFICANT ARE THE FOLLOWING BENEFITS:
- AIKS® is effectively involved in improving the soil conversion of organic matter and increases the activity of soil and plant beneficial microorganisms. This leads, among other things, to the availability of nitrogen and other nutrients from post-harvest residues and / or organic fertilizers
- Thanks to these effects, the certainty of wintering of winter rape crops is significantly increased
- After its application in the autumn, the root necks increase their thickness by 10-25%, the length of the root increases by 25-50% and the total dry matter of the aboveground biomass per unit area increases by up to 75 %
- Growing rapeseed during the autumn vegetation takes up to 30-60 % more basic macronutrients and essential boron
- When pre-sowing fertilizing with farm or organic fertilizers, the intake of all nutrients from them is significantly increased by an average of 50 %. Thus, this application significantly stimulates the intake of nutrients from the soil stock
- In the subsequent spring application, due to the combination with the autumn supplement, AIKS® even strengthens the health resistance to frequent fungal diseases of stems and cones
- Contributes to soil carbon storage and carbon neutrality in rapeseed cultivation
8 MAIN REASONS WHY AIKS® IS A GREAT ASSISTANT FOR FARMERS
Using AIKS® reliably helps:
- Autumn processing indirectly ensures a very high reliability of rapeseed classification according to the minimum purchase criteria
- Leads to an increase in the yield of rapeseed seeds by 4 – 6 %
- For the mass of a thousand seeds (HTS), the increase is usually 5-13 %, the straw yield is also 10-50% higher
- The oil content of the seed increases on average by 1 – 3 %
- The recommended tank-mix application with insecticide protection increases the profit in the range of 41-123 Euro/ha
- Reducing the cost of fungicides to save them by >15% %
- It is very important to compensate for possible herbicidal stress when adverse conditions coincide – the effect of AIKS® as an antidote is most pronounced when applied as soon as possible after the detection of negative growth.
- Treatment of growths with AIKS® biostimulator increases CO2 fixation for minimal phytomass formation. 7% by harvest time.
