Usage

General Description

Chlormequat is a plant growth regulator commonly used in agriculture to control and manage plant growth. It works by inhibiting the production of gibberellins, a plant hormone that promotes stem elongation. By slowing down the plant's growth, chlormequat helps to reduce lodging and improve the overall strength and stability of the plant. It is widely used in fruit and vegetable production, as well as in ornamental crops and turfgrass management. Chlormequat is available in various formulations such as liquid, soluble powder, and granular, and is often applied as a foliar spray or soil drench. It is considered to be relatively safe for use, with low toxicity to humans and the environment.
