Stimulators and Growth Regulators

​Cerone SL 480

Cerone SL 480 is a plant growth regulator primarily used to improve the quality and yield of cereal crops, particularly wheat and barley. The active ingredient in Cerone SL 480 is 2-chloroethylphosphonic acid (ethephon) at a concentration of 480 g/L. Details

Description

Ethephon is a growth regulator that, once absorbed by the plant, breaks down and releases ethylene, a natural plant hormone. Ethylene influences several physiological processes in plants, such as:

  • Strengthening the stem, reducing the risk of lodging.
  • Uniform ripening and improved grain quality.
  • Facilitating harvesting by reducing grain moisture levels.

Usage Instructions:

  • Target Crops: Wheat and barley.
  • Recommended Dose: 1-2 liters per hectare, depending on crop density and growth conditions.
  • Application Timing: Usually in the booting stage (BBCH 41-49), before ear emergence.
  • Application Method: Foliar spraying with an adequate water volume to ensure uniform plant coverage.

Important Considerations:

  • Weather Conditions: Avoid applying the product under drought stress, extreme temperatures, or immediately after heavy rainfall.
  • Compatibility: Before mixing with other plant protection products, conduct a compatibility test.
  • Safety: Wear appropriate protective equipment when handling and applying the product.
