FALGRO® 4 SL

Always read the label before use.

A water-soluble liquid plant growth hormone for the promotion of certain physiological and morphological effects as indicated on citrus.

Citrus

Features

Gibberellic acid is a plant growth regulator.
FALGRO 4 SL increases fruit set.
FALGRO 4 SL delays maturity and increases rind integrity.
Realises better fruit set in poor setting cultivars.
Prevents excessive flower abscission in hot flowering periods.
Increases picking window by delaying maturity of selected orchards.
Reduces creasing in navel cultivars.

Do's & Don'ts

Apply as a medium to full cover spray.
If a summer oil has been sprayed on citrus, a minimum of 14 days must elapse before FALGRO 4 SL may be applied
An oil may be applied 5 to 10 days after a FALGRO 4 SL application.
Adjust the pH of the spray mixture to between 5.5 and 6.5.
Do not apply to orchards under stress.
Do not apply to orchards where black spot has not been controlled.
Do not apply to trees suffering from root disease.
Decide on the yield/fruit size balance before application.

Usage Rate

To reduce rind creasing
Apply 16-64 mℓ / 100 ℓ water
FALGRO 4 SL depending on citrus type and cultivar.
To increase fruit set
Apply 8-32 mℓ / 100 ℓ water depending on citrus type and cultivar

Grape

Features

Gibberellic acid is a plant growth regulator.
Many forms of Gibberellic acids occur naturally in the grapevine.
FALGRO® 20 SP promotes berry thinning and increases berry size.
Reduced cluster compactness achieved with reduced fruit set.
Reduced fruit set allows the development of larger berries.
Berry size increase due to an increase in the size and number of cells in the grape berry.

Do's & Don'ts

Ensure thorough wetting of bunches and enclosed leaves.
Adjust the pH of the spray mixture to between 5.5 and 6.5.
Do not apply to orchards under stress.
Application rate and timing is highly cultivar dependent.
Correct application timing is critical for the success of the treatment.
Certain table grape cultivars show signs of “toxicity” such as an increase in pedicel thickness resulting in loose berries, if applied at higher Gibberellic acid dosage rates.

Usage Rate

Berry thinning:

Apply 16-32 mℓ/100ℓ water FALGRO® 4 SL depending on table grape cultivar and area.

Increased berry size:

Apply 96 mℓ/100ℓ water FALGRO® 4 SL at depending on table grape cultivar and area.
