Benefits of Use

CITOGROWER® thanks to its cytokinetic molecules content can be applied to control apical dominance, and therefore, increase flowering, decrease premature fruit fall and homogenize the harvest. Its application contributes to the development of flowers since it promotes flower induction and differentiation, transforming vegetative shoots into reproductive organs. In the case of ornamental species, the use of CITOGROWER® promotes lateral branching increasing crop yield and quality.

System and Time of Application

CITOGROWER® is applied by foliar spray and the moment and frequency of applications will depend on the particular conditions of each crop.

Dosage

Crop	CV	Objective	Application Time	Dose L/Ha (1%)	Dose Cc/100L (1%)	Application Tips
