Description

Prohexadione-Calcium is a highly effective plant growth regulator belonging to the cyclohexanedione chemical class. Its primary value lies in its ability to inhibit gibberellin biosynthesis, which is crucial for controlling excessive vegetative growth and improving crop architecture. This compound is essential for agricultural professionals and formulators seeking to enhance lodging resistance, promote fruit set, and optimize yield in a variety of high-value crops. The product is supplied under strict quality control to ensure consistent performance and reliability for global agricultural applications.

Application

• Growth regulation in cereal crops such as wheat, barley, and rice to prevent lodging.
• Canopy management and vegetative growth control in fruit trees, including apples and pears.
• Stem shortening and strengthening in ornamental plants and turfgrass for improved quality.
• Enhancement of fruit set and development in various vine and vegetable crops.
• Component in commercial plant growth regulator formulations for foliar application.
• Research and development of novel agricultural chemical products and plant physiology studies.
