Description
|
Paclobutrazol is a systemic growth regulator that inhibits gibberellin biosynthesis, and inhibits sterol biosynthesis by inhibition of demethylation; hence inhibits 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. Tree vigour is controlled by reducing the internodes lengths of new shoots and earlier formation of terminal buds. Fruit bud production, fruit color and harvest yield can also be favourably influenced.
|
Application
|
Used on fruit trees to inhibit vegetative growth and to improve fruit set; on pot-grown ornamentals and flower crops (e.g. chrysanthemums, begonias, freesias, poinsettias and bulbs) to inhibit growth; on rice to increase tillering, reduce lodging, and increase yield; on turf to retard growth; and on grass seed crops and oilseed rape to reduce height and prevent lodging.
To be applied as a foliar spray, as a soil drench, or by trunk injection.
Has some fungicidal activity against mildew and rusts.
