APPLICATIONS

Biochemistry Cytokinin activity.  Mode of action Plant growth regulator, absorbed by the leaves, which stimulates formation of an abscission layer between the plant stem and the leaf petioles, causing the dropping of entire green leaves.  Uses Used for defoliation of cotton, in order to facilitate harvesting.  Formulation types EC; WP; Oily flowable.
