Description:

AGRIVENTURE KASHER is a systemic plant growth regulator (PGR) that inhibits gibberellin synthesis to stop excessive shoot growth and redirect the plant's energy toward flower bud formation and fruit development. It is widely used for mangoes, apples, and various vegetable and field crops.

Technical content: Paclobutrazol 23% SC

Key Features & Benefits:

• Systemic Action: Easily absorbed by the root system and transported to active shoot tips, ensuring efficient internal distribution.
• Canopy Management: Reduces internode length, creating a more compact and manageable plant structure.
• Long Residual Activity: A single, well-timed soil drench application can remain active for multiple seasons, optimizing orchard management.
• Convenient Formulation: The Suspension Concentrate (SC) formulation ensures easy dilution, mixing, and soil application.
• Advanced & Uniform Flowering: Promotes early and synchronized flower bud formation (highly effective in breaking alternate bearing cycles, especially in mango).
• Improved Fruit Set: Substantially reduces pre-harvest fruit drop, maximizing the number of fruits that mature.
• Enhanced Fruit Quality: Directs energy towards fruit development, resulting in larger sizes, better color, and higher market value.
• Stress Tolerance: Helps build natural resilience in plants to better withstand various environmental stressors.
• Resource Optimization: By keeping trees compact, it improves light penetration, makes pruning easier, and allows for more efficient nutrient usage.

Crops suitability: Mango, Apple, Citrus, Cashew Nut, Tomato, Chili, Brinjal, Peas, Onion, Garlic, Potato, Carrot, Soybean, Groundnut, Black Gram, Green Gram, Wheat

Commonly used for:

• Induce and Synchronize Flowering: It forces uniform, early flowering in fruit trees (especially mango) and prevents alternate or irregular bearing.
• Manage Canopy and Vigor: It shortens internodes to create a more compact and sturdy plant structure.
• Improve Fruit Quality: By controlling shoot growth, it improves fruit size, color, and retention, while reducing pre-harvest fruit drop.
• Boost Tuber/Bulb Size: In crops like garlic, onion, and groundnut, it stops excessive leafy growth so the plant redirects energy to underground roots and pods.

Mode of entry: Systemic

Mode of action:

• Stops Gibberellin Production: It blocks the synthesis of gibberellins, which are the naturally occurring plant hormones responsible for cell elongation and shoot growth.
• Systemic Translocation: Once absorbed by the roots (usually via soil drench) or foliage, it travels through the xylem to the actively growing shoot tips and sub-apical meristems.
• Reduces Vegetative Vigor: By stunting excessive internode elongation, it promotes a denser, more compact plant structure with smaller, darker green leaves.
• Redirects Energy: The suppression of excessive leafy growth directs the plant's energy away from vegetative growth and toward reproductive functions, promoting uniform flower bud formation and improved fruit set.

Mode of application: Foliar Spray or Soil Drenching

Dose:  5 - 10ml in 15-liter water

Additional information:

• Timing: Usually applied immediately after the harvest of fruits to force early, uniform flowering in the next season.
