After planting the seedlings, the soil is watered with Sporobacterin. For 1 kg of soil, 100 ml of solution is required.
Treatment of planting material with the drug contributes to its disinfection from phytopathogens
According to the instructions for use of Sporobacterin Rassada, the ratio of the components of the working solution is the same as for irrigation. For 1 sq. m. of seedlings requires 1 liter of the finished product.
For indoor plants and flowers
The product is used for preventive or therapeutic treatment. The main method is spraying the diseased plant.The entire flower needs to be treated, not just the affected areas.
Procedure steps:
- Dilute 5 g of powder in 1 liter of warm water.
- Add sugar, wait 30 minutes.
- Spray diseased plants with a spray bottle.
- Carry out preventive soil treatment (50-100 ml of liquid for each plant).
Biological fungicide can be used at any stage of plant development
For preventive purposes, it is recommended to treat the soil in pots and flowerpots when replanting. For 1 indoor plant, 50 ml of working solution is enough.
For vegetable crops
"Sporobacterin" can be used at all stages of cultivation. When processing vegetables, several nuances should be taken into account.
When growing plants from seeds, “Sporobacterin Rassada” is used. Planting material is soaked for 6 hours in a one percent solution of the drug.

According to reviews of Sporobacterin Rassada, such treatment is sufficient to prevent fungal infections in the early stages of growth.
The drug provides prevention and treatment of bacterial and fungal plant diseases
In the future, the following algorithm applies:
- Spraying every 20 days (10 liters of solution per 100 square meters of planting).
- Watering at the root during the leaf formation phase (1 g of the drug per 10 liters of liquid).

The treatment can be repeated many times. Their number is not limited, but an interval must be observed - at least a week.
Features of vegetable processing:
For fruit and berry crops
When planting, you should treat the soil in the holes before placing seedlings or cuttings in them. This will protect the plant from diseases during the period of adaptation and rooting. For these purposes, prepare a solution of 10 g of powder and 0.5 liters of warm water. For 1 plant you need from 50 to 100 ml of such liquid.
