Ethefon (Ethephon 39% SL) 250ml l For effective Leaf shedding and fruit ripening.

Description

Protect your crop’s yield potential during its most vulnerable developmental stages with HIFIELD Flower Fix. Formulated with Alpha-Naphthyl Acetic Acid 4.5% SL (an advanced synthetic auxin), this plant growth regulator acts directly on the hormonal triggers that cause premature blossom drop and immature fruit shedding.

Environmental stresses such as extreme heat, dry spells, or sudden moisture fluctuations can cause plants to abort their flowers and young fruit. HIFIELD Flower Fix provides the physiological support needed to maintain a strong physical connection between the plant and its reproductive organs, ensuring your crop transitions successfully from flowering to harvest.

Key Benefits & Features

• Reduced Flower & Fruit Drop: Interrupts the internal chemical signals that lead to the premature shedding of buds, blossoms, and developing fruits.

• Enhanced Fruit Set: Maximizes the conversion of flowers into viable, harvestable fruits, leading to a higher volume of produce per acre.

• Improved Crop Quality & Size: Promotes uniform cell division and elongation, which contributes to better fruit symmetry, optimal weight, and enhanced market appeal.

• Stress Resilience: Minimizes the negative impacts of climate fluctuations, nutritional imbalances, and moisture stress during the sensitive reproduction window.

• Concentrated Efficiency: Requires incredibly low dosages to deliver visible structural improvement and yield stability.

Mode of Action

The active ingredient, Alpha-Naphthyl Acetic Acid (NAA), mimics the plant’s natural growth hormone, auxin. As fruits and flowers develop, environmental stress can trigger a drop in natural auxin levels, causing the formation of an “abscission layer” (a zone of separating cells) at the base of the stem. HIFIELD Flower Fix works by maintaining high auxin concentrations at these critical junctions, effectively blocking the enzymes that dissolve cell walls, thereby keeping the flowers and fruits securely attached to the plant.

Target Crops & Application Timing

This versatile formulation delivers exceptional performance across high-value agricultural and horticultural sectors:

• Vegetables (Chillies, Tomatoes, Brinjal, Okra): Apply during the early flowering phase and repeat during initial fruit formation to stabilize crop load.

• Fiber Crops (Cotton): Apply at the square formation and flowering stages to reduce square drop and boll shedding.

• Orchards (Mango, Citrus, Apple, Grapes): Apply during pre-bloom and post-blossom phases to mitigate early-stage fruit drop and improve sizing.

Application Guidelines & Dosage

Precise measurement is vital when using highly concentrated plant growth regulators.

• Recommended Dosage: Mix 0.2 ml per liter of water for standard foliar spray applications.

• Spraying Technique: Ensure a fine, mist-like spray that thoroughly wets the flower clusters and growing tips. Avoid over-saturating or drenching.

• Best Practices: Apply during the cooler parts of the day—either early morning or late evening—to ensure optimal absorption and prevent rapid evaporation.

• Compatibility: Compatible with most standard foliar micronutrients and non-alkaline crop protection sprays. It is highly recommended to perform a jar compatibility test before tank mixing.
