Description
Lihocin PGR – Plant Growth Regulator for Higher Crop Yield
Lihocin PGR is an advanced plant growth regulator formulated to control excessive vegetative growth and promote stronger reproductive development in crops. Manufactured by BASF, this highly effective solution is trusted by farmers to enhance fruit set, improve yield quality, and strengthen crop resilience.
Technical Composition
- Active Ingredient: Chlormequat Chloride 50% SL
- Formulation Type: Soluble Liquid (SL)
- Manufacturer: BASF
Mode of Action
Lihocin PGR functions by inhibiting gibberellin synthesis, a hormone responsible for excessive stem elongation. By limiting gibberellin activity, it redirects the plant’s energy toward flowering, fruit development, and nutrient absorption, leading to stronger stems, improved crop yield, and better quality produce.
Key Benefits
✅ Boosts Yield Potential: Encourages fruit set and enhances crop productivity.
✅ Reduces Excessive Growth: Controls stem elongation for better plant structure.
✅ Strengthens Stems: Prevents lodging in cereals and fibre crops.
✅ Improves Marketability: Produces uniform fruit size and weight.
✅ Optimises Nutrient Absorption: Enhances fertiliser efficiency.
✅ Compatible with Other Inputs: Works well with fertilisers and pesticides.
Recommended Crops
Lihocin PGR is effective for a wide range of crops, including:
- Cereals: Wheat, Barley, Rice
- Vegetables: Brinjal, Potatoes, Chillies, Tomatoes
- Horticultural Crops: Grapes, Cotton, Sugarcane
- Ornamental Plants: Flowers and Shrubs
Application Guidelines
| Crop | Dosage (ml/L of water) | Dosage per Acre (ml) | Dilution (L/Acre) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grapes (1st Spray) | 2 | 400 | 200 |
| Grapes (2nd Spray) | 4 | 800 | 200 |
| Grapes (3rd Spray) | 1 | 200 | 200 |
| Cotton (Hybrids & HYVs) | 0.16 | 32 | 200 |
