Classification

Plant Growth Regulator / Agrochemical

Formulation

50%SL, 72%SL

Biochemistry

Gibberellin biosynthesis inhibitor.

Mode of action

Plant growth regulator which inhibits cell elongation, hence shortening and strengthening the stem and producing a sturdier plant.
Also influences the developmental cycle, leading to increased flowering and harvest. May also increase chlorophyll formation and
root development.

Usage

To increase resistance to lodging (by shortening and strengthening the stem) and to increase yields in wheat, rye, oats, and
triticale; for wheat in Europe, applied at 0.8-1.6 kg/ha. Also used to promote lateral branching and flowering in azaleas,
fuchsias, begonias, poinsettias, geraniums, pelargoniums, and other ornamental plants; to promote flower formation and improve
fruit setting in pears, almonds, vines, olives, and tomatoes; to prevent premature fruit drop in pears, apricots, and plums; etc.
Also used on cotton, vegetables, tobacco, sugar cane, mangoes, and other crops.
