APPLICATIONS
Biochemistry Inhibits a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of gibberellic acid (GA1). Mode of action Plant growth regulator which reduces stem growth by inhibition of internode elongation. Absorbed by the foliage, with translocation to the growing shoot. Uses Used for the prevention of lodging in cereals and in winter oilseed rape, at 0.1-0.3 kg/ha. Also used in turf, at 0.15-0.5 kg/ha, to reduce mowing; and as a maturation promoter in sugar cane at 0.1-0.25 kg/ha. Phytotoxicity Could cause inhibition or growth stoppage of some plants, e.g. grasses, aquatic plants and algae. Formulation types EC; ME; WP. Compatibility Compatibility of little importance because of late timing of application; compatible with certain late-season fungicides.
