Few gardeners know about the wonderful properties of succinic acid, thanks to which it can become an indispensable assistant in the process of growing many crops. You can buy it both in any pharmacy and in a specialized shop for gardeners, where colorless crystals are very popular (the price for them, by the way, is also very low).
succinic acid, due to its wide range of actions, has a beneficial effect on plants, helping them to grow quickly, bloom beautifully and bear fruit abundantly.
It can be used not only in the process of growing vegetables - solutions based on it perfectly show themselves as auxiliary components for ornamental shrubs, flowers, fruit trees and houseplants.
Succinic acid has the following properties:
- Increases yield and plant immunity, making them more resistant to temperature extremes;
- Improves the survival rate of seedlings in the open field;
- Prolongs the flowering period of plants.
In order to prepare a solution for soaking seeds, it is necessary to dissolve 1 g of succinic acid crystals in 1 liter of water. As a result, we get a 1% solution, which can be stored for no more than three days from the moment of preparation.
If necessary, the concentration of the 1% solution can be adjusted. So, by mixing 100 ml of a 1% solution with a liter of water, we get 0.01% liquid, which can be used to treat cuttings and tubers before planting potatoes. In the first case succinic acid will stimulate root formation, and in the second, it will accelerate the germination of potatoes.
If you pour 100 ml of a 1% solution into a bucket of water, then we get a 0.001% solution, which is used during the transplantation of perennial cultivated plants.
As you can see, succinic acid is a versatile inexpensive remedy that helps the gardener in all areas of his activities, namely, improves the condition of a beautiful blooming flower bed in front of the house and ensures a good harvest with your beloved fruiting beds. So, every owner of a summer cottage should have a supply of these colorless crystals.
