Main Functions

Prohexadione-Calcium 10% WDG is mainly used to:

• Reduce excessive shoot growth
• Support canopy management
• Improve light and air movement through the canopy
• Help maintain a more compact crop structure
• Support a better balance between vegetative growth and productive growth

Its strongest practical value is in crop programs where excessive vigor makes canopy management, spray penetration, orchard structure, or row visibility more difficult.

Mode of Action

Prohexadione-Calcium works by inhibiting gibberellin biosynthesis. Gibberellins are closely linked to shoot elongation and vegetative growth, so when their formation is reduced, shoot extension slows and the crop develops a more compact structure. That is why this active ingredient is used in programs that need growth regulation rather than extra vegetative stimulation.

Suitable Crops and Application Areas

The strongest crop directions for Prohexadione-Calcium 10% WDG include:

• Apple
• Pear
• Cherry
• Strawberry
• Peanut
• Grass grown for seed
• Watercress

This crop range shows the product’s main use pattern clearly: it fits programs where shoot-growth reduction, canopy balance, and easier crop-structure management are important. Final crop scope should follow the approved local label in the destination market.

Application Guidance

Prohexadione-Calcium 10% WDG should be used according to the approved local label. Timing is important because this product is designed to regulate active vegetative growth, not to correct crop structure after the main growth stage has already passed.

In general, this formulation is suitable when:

• the crop shows excessive vegetative growth
• shoot extension control is needed
• the canopy needs better light and air penetration
• the crop program requires a growth-regulating plant growth regulator

Final timing, dosage, interval, and crop-specific directions should follow the approved local label.

Formulation Features

WDG means water-dispersible granule. This is a dry granule formulation that disperses in water before spraying. In practical use, Prohexadione-Calcium 10% WDG is a dry plant growth regulator prepared for standard agricultural spray application in orchards, field crops, and other registered crop systems.

The 10% concentration gives this formulation a standard loading level in a dry granule route while keeping handling and spray preparation straightforward in crop programs that prefer a WDG format.

Product Advantages

Prohexadione-Calcium 10% WDG stands out for these reasons:

• Clear vegetative growth control function
• Gibberellin biosynthesis inhibition
• Strong fit for canopy management
• Useful in fruit-tree and other registered crop programs
• WDG dry granule formulation
• Practical standard concentration for growth-control use

Its strongest product value is simple: Prohexadione-Calcium 10% WDG helps reduce excessive shoot growth and supports a more manageable canopy structure in registered crops.

Safety and Use Precautions

Prohexadione-Calcium 10% WDG should be handled carefully during mixing, spraying, storage, and transport. It should be used according to the approved local label and standard agricultural safety practice.

Important points include:

• keep away from food, feed, and drinking water
• avoid contamination of water bodies and non-target areas
• wear proper protective clothing, gloves, and face protection
• follow local requirements for spray timing, drift, and crop-use directions
• use only according to the approved local label

These points are important for both safe handling and stable crop performance.

Storage and Transport

Store Prohexadione-Calcium 10% WDG in the original sealed package in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Keep it away from direct sunlight, moisture, heat sources, food, feed, and unauthorized access. Because this is a granule formulation, the packaging should be protected from humidity, water exposure, bag damage, and rough handling during transport.

FAQ
