PLANT GROWTH REGULATORS

PACLOBUTRAZOL
23% SC
PEP STAR

The growth hormones in plants synthesizes and influences the development process. On the other hand some plant growth regulators
are antagonistic to the hormones which supports in shoot elongation. Such retardants reduces the shoot length and channelizes the
nutrients towards fruit and seed production.

Paclobutrazol is one of the extensively used plant growth regulators used especially in mango fruit. Primarily, the role of paclobutrazol is
to inhibit gibberellin synthesis and promote flowering and fruiting. Thus, the vegetative growth reduces and the assimilates are
transferred to reproductive organs and the yield potential increases.

BENEFITS:
ª Controlling the foliage growth.
ª Increasing flowering results to increase yield.
ª Early flowering with early & enhanced fruit maturity.
ª Development of better fruit color and size.

PEP STAR the Plant Growth Regulator assists your mango crops to achieve full blossom potential by making a balance between foliar
and fruit growth.

DOSAGE IN MANGO TREE DRENCH METHOD:

Dosage of PEP STAR varies for different age of Mango tree:


1. 7 - 15 Year = 15 ml
2. 16 - 25 Year = 20 ml
3. > 25 Year = 30 ml

APPLICATION:

TIME: After the harvest of fruits PEP STAR must be applied ideally.

METHOD:
Paclobutrazol is much effective when used with Collar Drench method. With recommended quantity of PEP STAR with 0.5 - 2 ltr of
water per tree, apply this on soil or trunk crack line around the base of the trunk.

Or, apply PEP STAR as Soil Drench. Dilute recommended quantity of PEP STAR in clean water of 10 liters and apply in a furrow 5 cm
deep about 2 to 3 feet away from the trunk, fill up with soil after application.

Or, By Foliar Spray Application, the new flowering can be treated with 1000 – 2000 ppm after the sunset.

* Application method is solely for guidance purpose. Application rates will vary due to climate, frequency, soil etc. we encourage uses to conduct their own testing best suited for their crop under their conditions & environments.
