Splendor banner

Functions:Plant Growth Regulator (PGR)
Application Technique:Sprayers

Splendor contains forchlorfenuron, a powerful plant growth regulator, and is formulated to help increase size and yield in addition to improving quality in a variety of fruits. In sweet cherries, Splendor gives you control of fruit size increase, based on rate used and timing, and promotes better resistance to splitting from rain when applied at color break. In pears, Splendor promotes increased yield per acre and fruit size with minimal elongated calyx end formation when applied 15 to 25 days post-petal fall. Used on grapes, it can increase berry set or size, depending on application timing, and can be used to delay harvest, based on rate used and timing. When applied to blueberries during bloom, Splendor improves fruit set and berry size, and is useful to delay fruit maturity, depending on rate used and timing.

Advocate banner

Functions:Plant Growth Regulator (PGR)
Chemical Family:Carboxylic Acids & Derivatives
Application Technique:Sprayers

Advocate is a plant growth stimulant for use by foliar and basal methods on plants that can be propagated from cuttings. Use on annual, perennial, and woody ornamental plant cuttings.

Exilis 9.5 sc banner

Functions:Plant Growth Regulator (PGR)
Application Technique:Sprayers

Exilis 9.5 SC is five times more concentrated, reducing environmental impact and creating a vast improvement in storage and handling. Growers will go from handling a 1 gallon jug to a compact 1 quart container - making new Exilis 9.5 SC easier to pour, easier to measure, easier to ship and easier to store. Exilis 9.5 SC provides the same proven thinning performance that you came to expect from Exilis Plus. Plant growth regulator solution for use on apples, pears and cherries

Functions:Plant Growth Regulator (PGR)
Application Technique:Sprayers

Perlan is the leading PGR for the production of typy apples, especially Red Delicious. In addition, orchard trials show that Perlan increases fruit size with minimal inhibition of return bloom. Perlan is also labeled for increasing lateral branching on non-bearing apples, pears and sweet cherries. Plus, it can be used to protect tender young blossoms and buds from frost and freeze damage when used according to label directions.

Functions:Plant Growth Regulator (PGR), Bioenhancer
Application Technique:Sprayers

CREST is a plant biostimulant which can improve the germination of seed, plant emergence in cool conditions, root growth, seedling development and plant growth/development throughout the growing season.

Functions:Plant Growth Regulator (PGR)
Application Technique:Sprayers

Novagib is a well-known fact that the application of gibberellins GA4 and GA7 can increase fruit size and improve fruit finish in apples. However, research has shown that GA4 is more efficient in delivering these benefits than GA7. And, GA7 adversely affects the level of return bloom significantly more than GA4. In Novagib, Fine Americas employs a unique fermentation process to produce ultra-pure GA4 with insignificant levels of GA7. The result: a highly effective PGR that delivers all the benefits of GA4 without the drawbacks of GA7.

Functions:Plant Growth Regulator (PGR)
Chemical Family:Alcohols, Sorbates
Application Technique:Sprayers

Blush is the first plant growth regulator specifically developed to bring out the red in Fuji, Gala, Honeycrisp, McIntosh, Paulared, Pink Lady and other bi-color apple varieties. Featuring the active ingredient prohydrojasmon (PDJ), Blush promotes red fruit coloration by increasing anthocyanin, the naturally occurring red pigment found in apples. The result: redder, more marketable apples, allowing you to harvest a higher percentage of premium first-pick fruit.

Kudos 27.5 banner

Functions:Plant Growth Regulator (PGR)
Chemical Family:Calcium Salts
Application Technique:Ground Soil Applied, Sprayers, Aerial Application

Kudos 27.5 has proven its value in apples and sweet cherries by reducing vegetative shoot growth and lessening the need for summer and dormant season pruning. Kudos also improves fruit color in red and bi-color apple varieties by allowing better light penetration into the tree canopy. Tests show that Kudos reduces the incidence and severity of fire blight in apples. And, Kudos also shortens internode length in grass grown for seed and peanut plants, increasing yield potential and improving the harvestability of these two crops.

Functions:Plant Growth Regulator (PGR)
Application Technique:Foliage Applied, Ground Soil Applied, Sprayers

Concise is an effective growth retardant for use on a wide variety of ornamental crops. It reduces plant height by limiting internode elongation, resulting in more desirable, compact and marketable plants. In fact, Concise has been shown to increase the quality of plants even in the absence of noticeable growth reductions. These desirable qualities include darker colors, higher chlorophyll content, greater leaf thickness, stronger stems, increased water retention and, at times, increased flower number and size.

Applications:Other Agricultural Crops

In university research and private cooperators trials, Kudos has proven its value in apples and sweet cherries by reducing vegetative shoot growth and lessening the need for summer and dormant season pruning. Kudos also improves fruit color in red and bi-color apple varieties by allowing better light penetration into the tree canopy. Tests show that Kudos reduces the incidence and severity of fire blight in apples. And, Kudos also shortens internode length in grass grown for seed and peanut plants, increasing yield potential and improving the harvestability of these two crops.

Applications:Legumes

Cilis plus banner

In the Canada, Cilis Plus is registered as a post-bloom thinning agent for apples. This products work best when used as part of a programmed approach to fruit thinning.

"Applied as either a foliar spray or soil drench, Abide is a very versatile plant growth regulator for use on a wide variety of container-grown ornamental crops. It effectively reduces internode elongation, generating more compact and sturdier plants. In addition, it promotes darker green foliage, thereby enhancing the marketability of treated plants
