Planofix Bayer

Planofix is a plant growth regulator formulated as an aqueous solution containing Alpha Naphthyl Acetic Acid 4.5 SL (4.5% w/w). It helps improve fruit set, prevent flower and fruit drop, and increase both the yield and quality of produce.

Technical Details

• Technical Name: Alpha Naphthyl Acetic Acid 4.5 SL (4.5% w/w)
• Mode of Action: Suppresses ethylene production, preventing the formation of the abscission layer. This minimizes the shedding of buds, flowers, and fruits.

• Induces flowering and prevents premature fruit drop
• Improves fruit size and quality, leading to higher marketable yields
• Enhances plant stress resistance (drought, frost)
• Reduces pre-harvest berry drop in grapes
• Delays ripening, extending fruit shelf life
• Ideal for use in Pineapple, Tomato, Chilli, Mango, Grapes, and other crops

Crop-specific Guidelines

• Pineapple:
  • Apply just before expected flowering
  • Spray entire fruit uniformly, avoiding drift to young crops

• Chilli:
  • 1st spray during flowering
  • 2nd spray 20–30 days later
• Mango:
  • Spray when fruits are pea-sized
  • For malformation, apply ~3 months before flowering
• Grapes:
  • 1st spray at pruning
  • 2nd spray at flowering
  • To reduce berry drop, apply 10–15 days before harvest on mature branches

Additional Information

• Spray during cooler parts of the day
