Cultar by Syngenta

Cultar by Syngenta

Cultar by Syngenta is a plant growth regulator (PGR) containing Paclobutrazole 23% SC, designed to manage and regulate vegetative growth, improve flowering, and enhance yield in various crops. It primarily works by inhibiting gibberellin biosynthesis, a plant hormone responsible for promoting excessive shoot growth. As a result, Cultar encourages earlier and more uniform bud formation, balanced canopy growth, and improved fruit yield.

Mode of Action
Cultar is absorbed through plant tissues or roots and translocated to active growth areas in sub-apical meristems. By restricting internode elongation and influencing terminal bud formation, it controls excessive growth while promoting better fruit bud differentiation and harvest management.
