Pomegranate – defoliation for better flowering and fruit yield — Plant growth regulation
Pomegranate – defoliation for better flowering and fruit yield — Plant growth regulation: Not clear in source 405-506 ml formulation; water dilution: 202 (2-2.5 ml/L water); waiting period: 135 days
Contains Ethephon 39% as the active ingredient; Formulated as a Soluble Liquid/Concentrate (SL); PGR category product for growth and flowering regulation; Registered use in mango, among other listed crops; Used to break alternate bearing tendency; Ethylene-releasing mode of action
Ethephon is an ethylene-releasing plant growth regulator. Upon absorption into plant tissue, it breaks down to release ethylene gas, a natural plant hormone involved in regulating flowering, fruit ripening, senescence and abscission. In mango, this ethylene release is used to help break alternate (biennial) bearing tendencies and to promote more uniform flowering and fruiting patterns.
Minati (Ethephon 39% SL) is diluted in the recommended volume of water to the specified concentration and applied as a foliar spray in mango, using standard knapsack or boom sprayers, following the approved product label.
Use strictly as per the directions on the approved product label Wear appropriate personal protective equipment during mixing and spraying Avoid spray drift onto sensitive or non-target crops Keep out of reach of children and away from food, feed, and water sources Store in a cool, dry place in original packaging
