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.

"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


Abide

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.


Blush

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.

Featuring the active ingredient ethephon, Motivate promotes earlier fruit coloration and maturity in a wide variety of crops, including apples, blackberries, blueberries, cantaloupes, cherries, grapes, peppers, pineapple, sugarcane, tobacco and tomatoes. It also aids in barrenberry control in blueberries and loosens apples, blackberries, cherries and walnuts for earlier, more efficient harvest.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
