Can brassinolide be mixed with wheat seeds (dosage and method of using brassinolide mixed with wheat seeds)

Can brassinolide be mixed with wheat seeds?

Brassinolide can be used not only in wheat seeds, but also in rice, corn, peanuts, and vegetables. However, for smaller and less seeds, it is more appropriate to change seed mixing to seed soaking.

In addition, when mixing brassinolide with wheat seeds, you must be careful not to use too much, as too much may inhibit germination.

Advantages and benefits of brassinolide mixed with wheat seeds

1. Accelerate germination

Brassinolide can accelerate the germination of seeds , especially some wheat seeds with relatively weak activity. The survival rate of wheat will be greatly improved, and it can emerge 2-3 days earlier than other seeds that have not been mixed.

2. Improve resistance

Wheat seeds treated with brassinolide have strong stress resistance and can reduce the impact of low temperature, drought and other environments . This allows wheat seeds to germinate normally and the germination rate will be significantly improved, which is crucial for winter wheat!

3. Strong root system

Wheat seeds treated with brassinolide will have unusually numerous and strong root systems . This has been verified and can be seen directly.

Pulling out the roots after wheat seedlings emerge, and comparing with the ones without seed dressing, the difference is obvious. Wheat seedlings have many roots, strong ability to absorb nutrients, and grow strong in the seedling stage, so the yield will naturally be high in the later stage!

4. Overcoming the impact of returning straw to the fields

I think the promotion of brassinolide seed dressing has another very important significance, which is to overcome the impact of returning straw to the fields!

There are many problems with the plots where straw is returned to the field: the straw is not returned thoroughly, resulting in loose soil. When sowing, many wheat seeds are on the straw and cannot enter the soil when taking root, eventually leading to the death of the seedlings.

By dressing seeds with brassinolide, the root system can be increased and the seeds can be more vigorous, so the germination rate and survival rate will naturally increase! Therefore, brassinolide can reduce the adverse effects of returning straw to the field to a certain extent.

How to use brassinolide mixed with wheat seeds

What kind of brassinolide should be selected

I think the most effective brassinolides are 1,4-hydroxybrassinosteroid and 2,8-homobassinosteroid. These two are the most active brassinolides and are also relatively expensive.

  The common brassinolide on the market is mostly mixed brassinolide, which costs less than 50 cents, and the effect is not as good as the former! We can check the specific ingredients when buying and then make a choice.

Dosage of Brassinolide

How should we use it? Let's talk about the dosage first. The more brassinolide is used, the better. Too much may inhibit germination.

Based on the practical experience of the past few years, for every 30-40 kilograms of wheat seeds, 5 to 10 milliliters of high-quality brassinolide can have a very good effect.

When to use brassinolide to seed dressing

When mixing wheat seeds with brassinolide, do not mix them too far in advance. Generally, it is enough to mix them on the day of planting. If you mix them too far in advance, the seeds may germinate prematurely due to the effect of brassinolide.

How to use brassinolide for seed dressing

  The seed dressing process is very simple. Generally, 5 to 10 ml of brassinolide is added to 300 to 500 ml of water. After stirring evenly, sprinkle the liquid on the seeds, or stir evenly in a seed mixer, and then sow.
