Planofix by Bayer

Planofix by Bayer

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

Farmers seek to maximize their crop yield by ensuring optimal flowering and fruiting. Planofix by Bayer is a plant growth regulator designed to enhance flower retention, promote uniform fruit development, and improve overall crop productivity.

By inhibiting ethylene production, Planofix prevents the premature shedding of flower buds, squares, and unripe fruits. It is particularly effective in crops like cotton, tomato, chilli, mango, pineapple, and grapes, where it aids in fruit enlargement and enhances yield quality.

Key Benefits

• Prevents flower and fruit shedding – Reduces boll shedding in cotton, flower drop in vegetables, and fruit loss in mango and chillies.

• Enhances fruit size and weight – Improves the size of fruits in pineapple and grapes, leading to better marketable produce.

• Delays maturity – Extends the growing period, allowing for uniform fruit development.

• Minimizes pre-harvest berry drop – Helps in reducing berry loss in grapes, ensuring higher yield retention.

Mode of Action

• Planofix inhibits the natural production of ethylene, a plant hormone responsible for fruit and flower shedding.

• By disrupting the formation of the abscission layer, it prevents premature fruit drop and ensures better yield stability.

Recommended Crops

• Pineapple – Increases fruit size and weight.

• Tomato & Chilli – Improves flowering and reduces premature drop.

• Mango – Prevents flower shedding and improves fruit retention.

• Cotton – Reduces boll shedding, supporting better yield.

• Grapes – Prevents berry drop and enhances berry weight.

Usage Guidelines

• Apply during cooler parts of the day for maximum effectiveness.

• While compatible with most pesticides, individual application is recommended for optimal results.
