Atlet — this is a root system growth stimulator designed to improve the quality of vegetable, fruit, and ornamental crop seedlings. The product works through chloromequat chloride at a concentration of 450 g/l, which temporarily suppresses apical meristem growth and stimulates lateral meristem development. As a result, stems do not elongate but thicken, promoting the formation of broad leaf blades, enhanced root development, and stem strengthening. This prevents seedling stretching and ensures robust growth.
Atlet can be applied in two ways: foliar spraying or root watering. For pepper, eggplant, and cabbage seedlings, it is recommended to dissolve 2 ml of the product in 0.5-1 liter of water for root watering and 2 ml per 1 liter of water for foliar spraying. Foliar spraying is performed three times with an interval of 5-8 days, while root watering is done once when the seedlings have 3-4 true leaves. This treatment promotes the formation of a strong root system and a robust above-ground part of the plants.
It is worth noting separately that Atlet sunflower is an ultra-early hybrid with a maturity period of 95-100 days, featuring high yield potential up to 5.2 t/ha and oil content in seeds up to 52%. It exhibits excellent drought, downy mildew (A-F), disease, and stress resistance, making it particularly suitable for cultivation in the Forest-Steppe and Steppe regions of Ukraine. Such a sunflower hybrid ensures stable and high-quality yields under various climatic conditions.
