Mode of Action
When we spray bayer plant growth regulator on plants prevents the formation of abscission layer by suppressing ethylene gas produced and hence thereby prevents the shedding of flowers, buds and fruits.
CROPS AND TARGET PESTS
Pineapple: (a) Apply just before expected flowering. (b) Drench the whole fruit but avoid the spray drift to young crop. (c) Again, wet the whole fruit 2 weeks before harvest.
Tomato: At the time of flowering apply twice.
Chillies: 1. First spray during flowering. 2. Second spray 20-30 days after spray (2 applications).
Mango: 1. First spray when tender fruits are of pea size. 2. Malformation before fruit bud differentiation- approximate 3 month before flowering.
Grapes: 1. First spray at pruning, 2. Second spray when flowering starts.
Grapes: (To control berry drop) Spray on matured grapes branches 10-15 days before harvesting.
