RIZOSTIM

Field Experience with Rizostim

For an agronomist managing soybean or pea crops, the focus is always on germination energy and early plant development. Developed by the Institute of Plant Physiology and Genetics of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Rizostim is a practical tool designed for those who prioritize systemic crop protection and growth regulation. It functions as a robust shield, allowing the plant to start strong and withstand environmental stressors effectively.

Operational Handling and Usage

The product comes in a powder formulation, which is highly practical for field operations. It is compact to store, resistant to temperature fluctuations, and easy to transport. Since it falls under the 4th hazard class, it is user-friendly and doesn't require the complex safety gear typically associated with highly toxic pesticides, making the application process much smoother for the field team.

• Seed Treatment: This is the primary stage. The powder creates a reliable coating on the seed surface, ensuring protection exactly where it is needed during the critical germination phase.
• Foliar Spraying: An excellent method for managing post-herbicide stress or adverse weather conditions. The solution mixes easily and passes through sprayer nozzles without clogging, ensuring high performance during tight field schedules.

Results on the Ground

The main advantage of using this product is the enhanced immune status of the crop. In fields where soil pathogens are a concern for legumes, Rizostim reduces reliance on early-stage fungicide applications. When used according to the guidelines, the resulting yield increase is clear: plants show better retention of pods and more uniform grain quality. It is a choice for those who value science-based, stable results over the brute force of aggressive chemicals.
