About Gibberellic Acid 0.001 SL
Gibberellic acid 0.001% L is a plant growth regulator (PGR) widely used in agriculture to stimulate and regulate various plant growth processes. It promotes cell elongation, improves seed germination, enhances flowering and fruiting, and can increase overall crop yield and quality. Key Uses and Benefits
- Promotes Growth: It stimulates cell division and elongation, leading to increased stem length and overall plant height.
- Enhances Yield and Quality: It aids in flower and fruit development, leading to larger, higher-quality produce and reduced fruit/flower drop.
- Breaks Seed Dormancy: It can help overcome natural seed dormancy, resulting in quicker and more uniform germination.
- Improves Stress Tolerance: It can enhance a plant's ability to withstand adverse environmental conditions like drought or frost.
- Delays Senescence: It can delay the aging process in certain plant tissues, which helps to extend the shelf life of harvested crops.
Application and DosageGibberellic acid 0.001% L is typically applied as a foliar spray or through drip irrigation, usually during the cool hours of the day. The general recommended dosage for most crops is to mix 1 ml to 2 ml of the product per 1 liter of water. Specific application timings vary by crop:
- Paddy (Rice): 20-45 days after transplanting, depending on the variety.
- Grapes: At 30-35 days after pruning and again at the match head stage.
- Sugarcane: Around 40-45 days after planting and a second time at 75-80 days.
- Brinjal/Okra: Applied multiple times at specific intervals after planting (e.g., 34 DAP, 70 DAP, 105 DAP).
It is generally compatible with most common fertilizers and pesticides, but should not be mixed with sulfur, copper fungicides, Bordeaux mixtures, or alkaline substances.
