About Paclobutrazol 23 Sc
Key Functions and BenefitsPaclobutrazol works by inhibiting the biosynthesis of gibberellins, a group of plant hormones responsible for stem elongation and vegetative (leaf and shoot) growth. This redirects the plant's energy toward reproductive parts, leading to several benefits:
- Controlled Vegetative Growth: Reduces excessive foliage and maintains a more compact, manageable plant structure, which can also reduce pruning costs.
- Enhanced Flowering and Fruiting: Promotes earlier, more uniform, and synchronized flowering, leading to better fruit set.
- Improved Yield and Quality: Increases the quantity of fruits, and enhances their size, color, taste, and overall quality.
- Increased Stress Tolerance: Helps plants develop stronger root systems and better resistance to environmental stressors like drought, extreme temperatures, and certain fungal diseases.
