3. Chemical class: triazole plant growth regulator;
4. Type of formulation: WP (Wettable Powder)
5. Active ingredient and its content: Paclobutrazol 150g/kg.
6. Structural formula:
7 Toxic class (WHO): Slightly hazardous(III);
8. CAS registry number: 76738-62-0;
9. Appearance: yellow powder
10. Applications:
Biochemistry: Inhibits gibberellin and sterol biosynthesis, and hence the rate of cell division.
Mode of action: Plant growth regulator taken up into the xylem through the leaves, stems, or roots, and translocated to growing sub-apical meristems. Produces more compact plants and enhances flowering andfruiting.
Uses: Used on fruit trees to inhibit vegetative growth and to improve fruit set; on rice to increase tillering, reduce lodging, and increase yield; on turf to retard growth.
Mixing anddilution:Pre-mix the required amount of product with a small volume of waterto create slurry without lumps. Then half fill the spray tank with clean water and add this pre-mixed slurry to the tank. Agitate until mixture is wellsuspended. Then fill the spray tank to the final water level. Continue agitation during spraying until the tank is completely empty.
Spray immediately after mixing
Target pest andrate.
Crop | Pest | Rate | Method of Application |
Rice | increase tillering, reduce lodging, and increase yield. | 1300-2000ppm(dilute 20-32 gram product in 16 liters water) | Water dilution for foliar spray |
Mango tree | inhibit vegetative growth and to improve fruit set | 1200-1400ppm (dilute 12-14gram product in 16 liters water) | Water dilution for foliar spray |
Durian tree | inhibit vegetative growth and to improve fruit set | 7500-10000ppm(dilute 120-160gram product in 16 liters of water. | Water dilution for foliar spray |
1) DO NOT mix with alkaline or acidic material.
