Description

Dikegulac Sodium is the sodium salt form of dikegulac, a plant growth regulator belonging to the chemical class of acylcyclohexanediones. This compound is valued for its specific phytotoxic and regulatory effects on plant morphology, making it a key tool in horticultural and agricultural research and development. It is primarily utilized by professionals in the agrochemical industry, plant physiology research, and specialty chemical manufacturing for developing targeted growth control solutions.

Application

• Plant Growth Regulation: Used in research and development of formulations to control sucker growth in tobacco and other broadleaf plants.
• Agrochemical Intermediates: Serves as a key synthetic intermediate or active ingredient precursor in the manufacture of specialized plant growth regulators.
• Horticultural Research: Employed in scientific studies to understand and manipulate plant architecture, branching, and apical dominance.
• Lawn & Turf Management: Investigated for potential use in suppressing vertical growth and reducing mowing frequency in managed turfgrass.
• Ornamental Plant Production: Applied in controlled settings to manage the shape and compactness of ornamental shrubs and trees.
• Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a building block in organic synthesis for creating novel compounds with biological activity.

Quality Control

Our Dikegulac Sodium is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide full traceability and Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available for all shipments, detailing key parameters such as assay, impurity profile, and moisture content. Our quality commitment ensures the material meets the stringent requirements for research and industrial use.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. Keep away from heat and incompatible materials.
