USE OF USEFUL SUBSTANCES TO PROMOTE THE GROWTH AND HEALTH OF PLANTS

摘要

The invention relates to the use of multi-ingredient mixtures of useful materials that are at least predominantly of an organic nature in the cultivation and care of useful and ornamental plants by activating the rhizosphere and/or phyllosphere and promoting plant growth and improving the health of said plants with respect to damage causing agents in the form of fungal diseases, bacterioses and/or viroses in addition to parasites that attack roots and/or parts of the plant above the ground. Said mixtures contain: (a) chitin and/or chitosan with an oligomeric and/or polymeric structure in combination with and with simultaneous or delayed application of (b) ecologically compatible surfactant compounds from the following class: alkyl(poly) glycosides of the O/W variety (APG compounds) and (c) liphophilic saturated and olefinically unsaturated hydrocarbon radicalsith a fatty structure and aerobically and anaerobically degradable organic compounds. Preferably, other ingredients that are used are characterized by compounds of P and/or Nith at least partially lipophilic radicals. If desired, said compounds can be used in conjunction with other macronutrients and micronutrients to promote plant growth in the root area and/or parts of the plant above the ground.
