Rhizopon Chryzotop green 0.25% 25 gram
Rhizopon Chryzotop Green 0,25% is a ready to use rooting
powder containing 0.25% Indole-3-butyric acid. Chryzotop is a root forming
hormon to be used on plant cuttings.
In the tops of plants, plant hormones or -growth
regulators (auxins) are created under the influence of light and heat; which
are transported to the part of the plant, where the roots are or should be
located. Therefore, in the summer the production of these hormones is better
than in the winter. Therefor the best chance of rooting of cuttings is normaly
the period between April to July. Outside this period the success of rooted
cuttings becomes more difficult and often depends on the weather. By using
external growth substances cuttings will root better and faster.
In most root forming stimulators, the active substance
is Indole-3-butyric acid powder with a content of 0.25% to 1%. Because of its
composition powder has a slow releasing effect, which often gives better
results than cutting agents in wet (gel) or tablet form.
Working
with Rhizopon powders
A pre-treatment of cuttings with a powder-based growth
substance is one of the most common methods of instigating cuttings to generate
roots simultaneously and uniformly. Because of its special compound, powder has
a slow release effect. Many plants may show a better reaction to this slow
release of active ingredient than they would do to the faster absorption from a
solution.
Thin
layer
When working with Rhizopon rooting powder, it is
important to make sure that the powder is evenly distributed in a thin layer
over the whole base of the cutting. Otherwise the cuttings might show
disproportionate rooting at the spots where surplus powder has been applied.
Care should be taken so that no leaves or other parts of
the cuttings come into contact with the powder, as this would soften the cell
walls and damage the tissue.
Powder
dip
The pre-treatment of cuttings with Rhizopon powder is
simple and easy. The bases of the cuttings, one by one or in small bundles are
dipped into the powder concentration to be used. Root formation can be expected
all over the part of the cutting that is covered with the powder. After
dipping the surplus powder should be carefully shaken off until the base of
each cutting is covered with a thin and even layer of powder. With specific
applications e.g. powder treatment of airlayers, the powder can be applied by
means of a clean soft brush.
Combined
powder dip and spraying
Certain species are known to be slow and irregular in
rooting. To stimulate the rooting a few weeks after sticking, an extra
treatment with a Rhizopon-solution could be very successful.
The
growth substance
Rhizopon and Chryzo growth substances are sold in
various pre-formulated powder concentrations, based on three different active
ingredients. With these products you always have the most suitable root
promoter available for a wide variety of cuttings.
Powder
or solution
In some cases it could be better to use a Rhizopon
solution. This varies from crop to crop. It is even possible that using a solution
could suit your nursery management better than using powders.
The
secret of Rhizopon rooting powders
The rooting powders of Rhizopon have the unique quality
to supply the active ingredients in full concentration over several days to the
cuttings, giving the advantage of regular and uniform roots round the base of
cuttings.
Laboratory
tests
Rhizopon has manufactured its rooting powder for
almost 60 years. In this time Rhizopon has developed a production method that
gives the powders that unique Rhizopon-quality. A quality which is controlled
by an independent laboratory.
Quality
control
Rhizopon does not only control the quality after
production, but also during packing and storage. This almost extreme care for
quality guarantees the user of the Rhizopon- and Chryzo-products the correct
concentration time after time. This guarantees an optimum result.
Storage
Plant substances should not be left in a hot and humid
place. Storage should be in sealed container in a cool dry place and in the
dark.
