METHOD FOR TREATMENT OF SOFT STEVIA CUTTINGS Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC A01G7/00 A01G1/00 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the field of plant growing. Method provides for prolonged action of single-time treatment at accumulation of sweet glucosides in leaves and increased crop capacity of green leaf and stem mass, green leaves of plants in the field, by application of organo-mineral fertilisers to soft stevia cuttings freshly planted into vegetation container. In addition, microbiological preparation Biofit-1 is used for treatment, and organo-mineral fertilisers are represented by potassium lignogumate and Darina. At the same time treatment is carried out once, by means of serial spraying with 0.01% aqueous solution of potassium lignogumate until complete wetting, then in 20-25 minutes - with 0.01% aqueous solution of Darina, and in 20-25 minutes - with 0.1% of Biofit-1 solution with further closure of vegetation container by upper sleeve and planting in the field in 29-31 days.

EFFECT: method provides for prolonged impact at intensity of metabolic processes in plants vegetating in the field, improved crop capacity of leaf and stem mass, collection of dry leaves, more active accumulation of sweet glucosides in stevia leaves and their increased harvest per single hectare of plantation.
