“Radifarm” is a preparation based on extracts of plant origin, containing vitamins and other substances important for the life of cultivated plants. It is used as an aid in root formation. The instructions for use of Radifarm indicate what it is intended for, how to dilute it and in what volumes to use.
Description of the drug
Root formation stimulator “Radifarm” is of biological origin. This is not a fertilizer, it does not contain essential nutrients and microelements. But it contains components that stimulate the growth and development of the root system, which helps plants take root when planting or replanting, and accelerates root formation in seedlings.
The drug stimulates root growth, increases the level of absorption of moisture and nutrients from the soil
Composition of Radifarm
The drug combines a complex of substances of different chemical classes that act on root tissue.
It includes:
- Steroid glycosides – enhance the activity of meristems.
- Amino acids (arginine and asparagine) are necessary for the construction of polyamines from which the root is formed.
- Tryptophan, which is part of auxin. The substance stimulates the growth of secondary roots in young plants and the formation of root hairs.
The product is used both before planting and during the period of growth and fruiting of crops.
Other components of Radifarm accelerate metabolism in plant cells:
- Polysaccharides - make cell membranes permeable, which allows water and nutrients to pass into them in increased volumes.
- Vitamins, iron and zinc (in chelated form) are needed for root growth. Zn increases plant resistance to frost.
- Betaine helps water pass through cell membranes, activates photosynthetic processes, and restores tissue after exposure to toxins.
The complex composition of the drug "Radifarm" allows it to act on root tissue in a complex manner, due to which its effectiveness is achieved.
Manufacturer and release forms
Radifarm is produced by the Italian agricultural company Valagro. The product offered for sale is packaged in original packaging - plastic bottles of 1 liter and canisters of 5 and 10 liters. This liquid is black-brown or black in color, with a distinct specific odor.

The instructions for using analogues of the Radifarm fertilizer indicate the same active ingredients as those of this stimulant. They are produced by foreign and domestic companies:
- Rather (Spain).
- Redoffarm (manufactured by Allyur Arso).
- Ruter (from Biochefarm (Switzerland).
The Russian analogue of this root formation stimulator is “Maxifol” (manufactured by AgroMaster). There are drugs with a simpler composition - these are “Kornevin”, “Heteroauxin”, “Zircon”, “Epin”, etc.
What is it used for?
The product is suitable for watering vegetable, flowering, ornamental, coniferous, fruit and berry crops, and for irrigating lawns. Application form: root or drip watering. Radifarm is not suitable for spraying.
Impact on soil and plants
"Radifarm" strengthens plants, helping them recover faster after transplantation, even when exposed to high temperatures, excess moisture in the soil or air. After treatment with the drug solution, seeds and young plants begin to quickly absorb nutrients and water from the soil, as a result they germinate more quickly, and seedlings develop more powerful roots. "Radifarm" increases the speed of photosynthetic processes and shortens the time of fruit ripening.
It is perfectly absorbed by the roots of young and adult plants; if drops of liquid accidentally 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 and does not harm its microflora and earthworms.It can be used on different types of soil, at any humidity and temperature.
The rich composition of the biostimulant is beneficial for the growth and development of plants
Consumption rates
Depends on the crop being processed. According to the instructions for use and reviews, “Radifarm” is consumed in the following volume:
- for vegetables - 1 bucket of solution per 1 sq.m. with drip irrigation or 0.3-0.5 liters per plant with simple watering;
- for trees and shrubs – 2-4 liters;
- for garden flowers - 0.5-1 l;
- for indoor flowers - 0.5 l.
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 transplantation, ensures quick 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
The rooting agent "Radifarm" is used on plants during their transplantation or on seedlings in the first stages of their development. The product acts stably even at unfavorable humidity and temperature, so it can be used in early spring and late autumn, as well as in summer, in hot weather. During the rainy season, you need 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 crop being treated. After dilution, the liquid is brown in color.
Rules for using Radifarm
You can soak seeds in the product solution before sowing, rooting cuttings, watering trees, shrubs, garden and indoor flowers, and vegetables. Each type of plant has its own concentration of solution and its application rate.
For soaking seeds and rooting cuttings
Soak the seeds in a solution prepared from 20-50 ml and 0.8-1 liters of water. The root formation stimulator "Radifarm" can be combined with disinfectants. To soak the cuttings, prepare exactly the same solution.
For garden flowers and ornamental shrubs
According to the instructions of "Radipharma" for flowers you need to dilute 50-60 ml in 10 liters of water. Water with this solution while planting the 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 along with watering, dilute 50-60 ml per 10 liters of water (consumption per 1 hundred square meters when transplanting), after another week - 30-40 ml per 10 liters.
Instructions for use of "Radipharma" indicate that a solution is prepared for tomatoes and other vegetables: 10-20 ml per 10 liters. For 1 plant, use 0.3-0.5 liters of the prepared product and water it at the root after replanting. 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 3 times in the spring at weekly intervals.
For indoor plants and flowers
According to the instructions for use, “Radipharma” for orchids and flowers grown indoors is 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.
Indoor flowers will tolerate transplantation better if you water them with a solution of a root formation stimulator
Pros and cons of use
According to reviews from gardeners who are already using Radifarm, the drug justifies its use 100%.After watering, the seedlings take root faster and better, and grow more evenly. The stimulator facilitates the survival of not only vegetables, but also cuttings of roses, shrubs, trees and grapes. Thus, the drug is suitable for every plant growing in the garden or garden. Can be used at any positive temperature and humidity, which makes it universal.
Proper use of the Radifarm product makes it possible to save on organic matter and mineral fertilizers, and watering, since plant roots 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 production costs.
One of the disadvantages is the high price of the drug. This increases the profitability of growing seedlings or producing vegetables. However, if you buy the product in a large package, it will cost less. The drug is stored for 5 years.
It is rational to purchase the drug in a 1 liter bottle for household use.
Conclusion
Instructions for use of Radifarm provide complete information on when and how to use it. The solution should be diluted and used 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, and therefore cannot replace conventional fertilizers.
