"Radifarm" is a preparation based on plant extracts, contains vitamins and other substances important for the life of cultivated plants. It is used as a root aid. Instructions for the use of Radifarm indicate what it is intended for, how to breed it and in what volumes to use it.
Description of the drug
The root formation stimulator "Radifarm" is of biological origin. It is not a fertilizer and lacks essential nutrients and trace elements. But it contains components that stimulate the growth and development of the root system, which helps plants to root when planting or transplanting, accelerates root formation in seedlings.
Composition of Radifarm
The drug combines a complex of substances of different chemical classes acting on the root tissue.
It includes:
- Steroidal glycosides - increase the activity of the meristems.
- Amino acids (arginine and asparagine) are essential for building polyamines from which the root is formed.
- Tryptophan, which is part of auxin. The substance stimulates the regrowth of secondary roots in young plants and the formation of root hairs.
Other components of "Radifarm" accelerate the metabolism in plant cells:
- Polysaccharides - make cell membranes permeable, which allows water and nutrients to pass through them in increased volumes.
- Vitamins, iron and zinc (in chelated form) are needed for root growth. Zn increases the frost resistance of plants.
- Betaine helps water pass through cell membranes, activates photosynthetic processes, and restores tissues after exposure to toxins.
The complex composition of the drug "Radifarm" allows you to influence the root tissue in a complex way, due to which its effectiveness is achieved.

What is it used for
The preparation is suitable for watering vegetable, flowering, ornamental, coniferous, fruit and berry crops, for irrigating lawns. Application form - root irrigation or drip. Radifarm is not suitable for spraying.
Impact on soil and plants
Radifarm strengthens plants, helping them to recover faster after transplanting even when exposed to high temperatures, excess moisture in the soil or air. Seeds and young plants, after treatment with a solution of the drug, begin to quickly absorb nutrients and water from the soil, as a result they germinate more quickly, and more powerful roots form in the seedlings. "Radifarm" increases the rate of photosynthetic processes, shortens the ripening time of fruits.
It is perfectly absorbed by the roots of young and adult plants, if accidentally drops of liquid fall on the leaves, there will be no burns in their place. The product is completely harmless to humans; when working with it, you do not need to use protective clothing and gloves.
Due to its natural origin, the product does not contain synthetic substances. It does not accumulate in the soil, does not harm its microflora and earthworms. It can be used on different types of soils, at any humidity and temperature.
Consumption rates
Depends on the crop being cultivated. According to the instructions for use and reviews "Radifarm" is consumed in the following volume:
- for vegetables - 1 bucket of solution per 1 hundred square meters with drip irrigation or 0.3-0.5 liters per plant with simple watering;
- for trees and shrubs - 2-4 liters each;
- for garden flowers - 0.5-1 l each;
- for indoor flowers - 0.5 liters each.
The number of irrigations is 2 or 3 with a break of 7 days.
Instructions for use of the drug Radifarm
The drug reduces the recovery time of plants after transplanting, ensures fast and trouble-free rooting of transplanted seedlings or flowers grown in pots. After treatment with "Radifarm", the development of all seedlings and seedlings occurs evenly.
Recommended timing
Rooting agent "Radifarm" is used on plants during their transplantation or on seedlings in the early stages of their development. The agent works stably even at unfavorable humidity and temperature, therefore it can be used in early spring and late autumn, as well as in summer, in hot weather. In a rainy period it is necessary to use Radifarm carefully, since water can wash the solution out of the root layer and there will be no benefit from it.
How to breed
Liquid fertilizer is diluted in clean cold water. The concentration depends on the cultivated crop. After dilution, the liquid is brown.
Rules for the use of Radifarm
In a solution of the product, you can soak seeds before sowing, rooting cuttings, watering trees, shrubs, garden and indoor flowers, vegetables. Each type of plant has its own concentration of the solution and its consumption rate.
For soaking seeds and rooting cuttings
The seeds are soaked in a solution prepared from 20-50 ml and 0.8-1 liters of water. Radifarm root formation stimulator can be combined with dressing agents. To soak the cuttings, prepare exactly the same solution.
For garden flowers and ornamental shrubs
According to Radifarm's instructions for flowers, you need to dilute 50-60 ml in 10 liters of water. Water with this solution during planting of flora. Repeat another week, but reduce the concentration to 30-40 ml per 10 liters of liquid.
For vegetable crops
For garden vegetables, when using the drug together with watering, dilute 50-60 ml per 10 liters of water (consumption per 1 hundred square meters during transplantation), after another week - 30-40 ml per 10 liters.
Instructions for the use of "Radifarm" indicate that a solution is prepared for tomatoes and other vegetables: 10-20 ml per 10 liters. For 1 plant, 0.3-0.5 liters of the prepared product is consumed, watered at the root after transplantation.For the development of roots in seedlings - 10-20 ml per 10 liters of liquid.
For fruit and berry crops
Fruit and coniferous trees are watered with a solution of 20-30 ml of Radifarm and 10 liters of water. For 1 plant, it is enough to spend 2-4 liters of liquid. For grapes, 30 ml of the product is diluted in 10 liters of water. Water the vine in the spring 3 times at weekly intervals.
For indoor plants and flowers
According to the instructions for the use of "Radifarm" for orchids and flowers grown in the room, they are diluted in a small concentration: 15-20 ml per 10 liters of water. Water 2 or 3 times every week, starting from the day of planting.
Pros and cons of using
According to gardeners who already use Radifarm, the drug justifies its use by 100%. After watering, the seedlings take root faster and better, and grow more evenly. The stimulant facilitates the survival of not only vegetables, but also cuttings of roses, shrubs, trees and grapes. Thus, the preparation is suitable for every plant growing in a vegetable garden or in a garden. It can be used at any positive temperature and humidity, which makes it versatile.
Competent use of the Radifarm product makes it possible to save on organic matter and mineral fertilizers, and watering, since the roots of plants absorb more nutrients and moisture from the soil than usual. This is especially true for farms where vegetables are grown for sale. Saving resources reduces the cost of production.
The disadvantages include the high price of the drug. This increases the profitability of growing seedlings or producing vegetables. However, if you buy a product in a large package, it will cost less. The drug is stored for 5 years.

Instructions for the use of Radifarm gives complete information about when and how to use it. Dilute the solution and use it exactly as recommended. For a small private farm, you can purchase convenient packages of 25, 100 ml and 1 liter, for a farm - 5 and 10 liters. When purchasing this root formation stimulator, you need to remember that this is not a top dressing, it does not nourish the plant, therefore it cannot replace conventional fertilizers.
