Planofix

Active Ingredient: Alpha Napthyl Acetic Acid 4.5% w/w SL

Product Description: Bayer Planofix is an aquous solution containing 4.5% (w/w) of Alpha napthyl acetic acid active ingredient. Planofix is a plant growth regulator (PGR) used for the purpose of inducing flowering, preventing the shedding of flower buds and unripe fruits. It helps in enlarging fruit size, increasing and improving the quality and yield of fruits.

• Planofix reduces natural shedding of fruits & flowers
• Reduces pre-harvest berry drop in grapes.
• Increases fruit size in pineapple and grapes.

Mode of Action 

Planofix when sprayed on plants prevents the formation of abscission layer by suppressing ethylene gas produced and hence thereby prevents the shedding of flowers, buds and fruits.

CROPS AND TARGET PESTS

Pineapple: (a) Apply just before expected flowering. (b) Drench the whole fruit but avoid the spray drift to young crop. (c) Again, wet the whole fruit 2 weeks before harvest.

Tomato: At the time of flowering apply twice.

Chillies: 1. First spray during flowering. 2. Second spray 20-30 days after spray (2 applications).

Mango: 1. First spray when tender fruits are of pea size. 2. Malformation before fruit bud differentiation- approximate 3 month before flowering.

Grapes: 1. First spray at pruning, 2. Second spray when flowering starts.

Grapes: (To control berry drop) Spray on matured grapes branches 10-15 days before harvesting.
