EBS VITRUS Growth Regulator Chlormequat Chloride 50% SL

Chlormequat Chloride 50% SL is a plant growth regulator that is widely used in agriculture to control excessive growth, particularly in cereal crops and ornamental plants. The active ingredient, Chlormequat Chloride, works by inhibiting the synthesis of gibberellin, a plant hormone responsible for cell elongation. As a result, it helps to control stem elongation, reduce lodging, and promote more compact growth.

Description:

• Common Name: Chlormequat Chloride

• Chemical Formula: C6H14Cl2N2

• Formulation: 50% Soluble Liquid (SL)

• Appearance: Clear to slightly yellow liquid

• Mode of Action: Chlormequat Chloride acts as a growth regulator by inhibiting gibberellin biosynthesis, leading to reduced cell elongation, shorter stems, and increased stem thickness.

Applications:

• Cereal Crops: Chlormequat Chloride is primarily used to reduce lodging in cereals like wheat, barley, and oats, preventing these plants from toppling over due to weak or elongated stems.

• Fruit Crops: It can be used in fruit trees (such as apples and pears) to regulate vegetative growth and improve fruit quality.

• Ornamental Plants: It is used in the cultivation of ornamental plants to control excessive vertical growth and ensure more uniform plant appearance.

Dosage and Application Rates:

The exact dosage depends on the specific crop being treated, local regulations, and the desired effect. Below are typical application rates for Chlormequat Chloride 50% SL:

For Cereals (e.g., wheat, barley):

• Application Timing: Typically applied during early to mid-tillering (growth stages 20–30) to prevent lodging.

• Dosage: 0.5–1.0 L/ha (liter per hectare), depending on the growth stage of the crop and environmental conditions.

For Fruit Crops (e.g., apples, pears):

• Application Timing: Applied during early to mid-season growth to control excessive shoot growth and improve fruit quality.

• Dosage: 0.5–1.0 L/ha (liter per hectare), again depending on the specific crop and local conditions.

For Ornamental Plants:

• Application Timing: Applied when plants are actively growing, but before they reach excessive height.

• Dosage: Usually applied at a rate of 200–400 mL per 100 L of water. The exact dose will depend on the plant species and its growth conditions.

Application Method:

• Chlormequat Chloride 50% SL is typically diluted with water and applied as a foliar spray.

• Use a well-calibrated sprayer for even distribution across the target area.

• Avoid spraying during extreme weather conditions (high winds, rain, or heat) to ensure optimal absorption and prevent drift.

Safety Precautions:

• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Wear gloves, goggles, and protective clothing when handling the product.

• Storage: Store the product in a cool, dry place, away from children and pets, and away from foodstuffs or drinking water.

• Environmental Impact: Follow recommended application rates and safety guidelines to minimize potential harm to the environment, wildlife, and beneficial insects.

Note:

Always refer to the product's specific label for more detailed information on dosage, timing, and safety precautions, as recommendations may vary by region or crop type. It is also important to follow any local regulations regarding pesticide use.
