Description

Prohexadione Calcium is a plant growth regulator belonging to the chemical class of cyclohexanediones. This compound is valued for its ability to effectively inhibit gibberellin biosynthesis, leading to controlled vegetative growth and improved plant architecture. It is primarily utilized in agriculture and horticulture for managing crop height, enhancing stress tolerance, and promoting yield stability. Global agricultural producers and formulators rely on this active ingredient for sustainable crop management solutions.

Application

• Growth Regulation in Cereals: Used to control lodging and reduce plant height in wheat, barley, and rice for improved standability and harvest efficiency.
• Turf and Ornamental Management: Applied to manage growth and reduce mowing frequency on golf courses, sports fields, and in ornamental horticulture.
• Fruit Tree Canopy Management: Helps control excessive vegetative growth in orchards (e.g., apples, pears) to improve light penetration and fruit quality.
• Enhancing Stress Resistance: Promotes the development of sturdier plants with improved tolerance to environmental stresses.
• Industrial and Research Use: Serves as a critical reference standard and active ingredient for research and development in plant physiology and agrochemical formulation.

Quality Control

Our Prohexadione Calcium is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide detailed Certificates of Analysis (COA) that document key parameters such as assay, impurity profile, and physical characteristics. Our quality commitment ensures the material meets the stringent requirements for agrochemical active ingredient registration and formulation.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect stability and handling properties.
