Planofix is a plant growth regulator (PGR) that is used to induce flowering, prevent the shedding of flower buds and unripe fruits, and enlarge fruit size. It is an aqueous solution containing 4.5% (w/w) of alpha napthyl acetic acid (NAA), which is a synthetic auxin. Auxins are plant hormones that promote cell division and elongation.
Planofix works by suppressing the production of ethylene gas, which is a plant hormone that promotes the abscission of flowers, buds, and fruits. By suppressing the production of ethylene, Planofix helps to prevent the shedding of these plant parts.
Planofix is used on a variety of crops, including tomatoes, grapes, apples, and cherries. It is also used on ornamental plants, such as roses and orchids.
The recommended dosage of Planofix varies depending on the crop and the stage of growth. It is important to read the label carefully before using Planofix.
