- Applied Formulations
ProGibb ® 40 SG contains the same active ingredient – Gibberellic acid (GA3 ) – you’ve used with confidence for decades. This naturally occurring gibberellin is produced through fermentation and enhanced through a process refined during more than 40 years of experience. Valent BioSciences controls every step of manufacturing: fermentation, purification, formulation and packaging. Inert ingredients are of the highest possible quality. The unparalleled product stability is a result of process standards that are consistent with those for human pharmaceutical production. We take these steps to ensure that every gram of product meets label specifications and delivers consistent, maximum performance in the field.
- Easier to Use and More Efficacious
New ProGibb® 40 SG is offered in a wide range of packages to fit different production needs. When added to water tanks, ProGibb® 40 SG dissolves instantly: there’s no need for an extended agitation sequence. The highly concentrated formulation of ProGibb® 40 SG means more product can be stored in less space, and there’s significantly less packaging of which to dispose. Best of all, because of its improved uptake and absorption, the advanced SG formulation offers excellent efficacy with maximum field performance under all conditions. In global field trials, ProGibb® 40 SG has delivered consistently superior performance compared with the tablet and powder formulations.
