Increasingly, experienced gardeners are feeding the seedlings of tomatoes and peppers with yeast.
Rich in various microelements, yeast has a positive effect on cultivated plants, increasing their immunity.
The topic of today's article is fertilizing tomato and pepper seedlings with folk remedies: yeast, manure, bird droppings.
Yeast Fertilizer Action
Yeast belongs to the sources of natural bacteria, they are based on special fungi high in organic iron, proteins and amino acids. Yeast seedlings for pepper have a positive effect on:
- seedling endurance in adverse conditions in low light;
- seedling growth and its vegetative mass;
- root development;
- plant immunity and saturating it with essential vitamins.
All these positive changes appear due to the reorganization of the soil composition after the seedlings are fed with yeast. The basis of the product is unicellular bacteriawhich actively reproduce in favorable warm conditions, processing organic matter around the culture.
The result is phosphorus and nitrogen formation, as well as a marked improvement in the composition of the soil due to the development of soil organisms that increase fertility.
The disadvantage of feeding with yeast solution is the decomposition of potassium in the fermentation process. This problem is solved by introducing infusion of wood ash, which is produced in parallel with the irrigation of yeast.
Due to the enrichment of the soil, pepper seedlings well tolerated pickand adaptation takes place in open ground.
Yeast fertilizer need spend a few days after transplantationthat will enhance plant growth and root development. To achieve a noticeable result, it is necessary to feed according to all the rules.
Yeast fertilizer instructions
The first yeast dressing of seedlings of pepper is applied 5-7 days after it was transplanted to a permanent place in a greenhouse or open ground.
It is important to wait for good seedling to take place.. Soil enrichment with yeast-based fertilizers activates plant growth and enables them to adapt to a new place.
The second feeding is done before the pepper blooms, in order to saturate the future fruits with essential vitamins. The recipe for fertilizer, which was used for the first feeding, can not be changed.
It is important to preserve the exact composition of ingredients used previously.at the same time changing the amount of the mixture to be added under the root. For the first fertilizer of young plants, 0.5 liters of yeast solution is sufficient; the second procedure will require about 2 liters.
For seedlings of peppers, these two procedures per season are enough to get impressive results. A similar effect may be obtained if beer is irrigated by pepper, however, the variant with baker's yeast is more economical.
Yeast Solution Preparation
To prepare an effective yeast fertilizer will take a little time and a minimum of ingredients. The composition may include both dry and live product.
If this ingredient is not at hand, it can be replaced with bread, bread crumbs or other flour products,with which you get a good nutrient.
The classic recipe for yeast solution includes 1 kg of live yeast and 5 liters of water. After dilution of the ingredient in water, the tool can not be used in a concentrated form, it must be diluted again with water in the ratio of 1 to 10.
If applicable dry yeast, then 10 g are diluted in 10 liters of water with the addition of two tablespoons of sugar. After preparation, the solution should infuse for some time, and then it must be diluted with water in the ratio of 1 to 5.
It noticeably improves the growth and development of peppers, a fermented yeast solution, for the manufacture of which half a cup of sugar and 100 g of yeast are dissolved in 3 liters of water.
The resulting mixture should be covered with a cloth and let it brew for 5-7 days, after which the product is diluted with water at the rate of 1 cup per 10 liters. Dosage - liter per plant.
Often gardeners resort to a recipe for yeast fertilizer with chicken droppings and wood ash. To make it you will need:
- 10 g dry yeast;
- 10 liters of water;
- 5 tablespoons of sugar;
- 0.5 liters of wood ash;
- 0.5 liters of bird droppings.
The mixture, which turn out at the exit, can not be applied in a concentrated form.. It must be diluted with water in the ratio of 1 to 10.
It is necessary to water the pepper with the obtained fertilizer carefully, without pouring it under the root. Since in the composition is bird droppings, it will be enough to slightly moisten the earth around the plant.
Preparation of natural yeast solutions
In addition to solutions based on ready-made yeast, ferments can be used to enrich the soil. Under this process, the rapid development of unicellular bacteria, which significantly stimulate plants, is assumed.
To make a sourdough made from wheat, the grass must be soaked and wait about a day for their germination. Wheatgrass should be crushed to a mushy state, they add 2 lodges of sugar and 2 spoons of flour.
The resulting mixture is recommended to first stand on low heat for 25 minutes, and then put sour for a day in the heat until signs of fermentation. Solution Before use it is necessary to mix with water in a volume of 10 liters..
The bread yeast solution, which is prepared from bread crusts, packs of yeast, sour milk, a glass of wood ash and candied jam, is very popular among gardeners.
All ingredients are placed in a 10 l container, filled with hot water and sent for a week to heat for fermentation.
Hops ferment consists of:
- dried or fresh hop cones (1 cup);
- flour (4 tbsp);
- sugar (2 tbsp);
- potatoes (2 pieces).
Cones are boiled for an hour, after which the broth must be drained, mixed with flour and sugar and placed in heat for 2 days.
After that, 2 grated potatoes are added to the mixture and kept for another day. For fertilizing seedlings of peppers, sourdough is used in proportion to a glass of product per 10 liters of water.
Fertilizers with a yeast base and fermentation solutions are live biological growth promoters. The results of feeding with pepper yeast will be noticeable after several days. Bushes will increase in size, and the leaves of the plants will become juicy and strong.
