About HYDROGEN CYANAMID 50% SL
Hydrogen Cyanamide 50% SL is a highly effective, soluble liquid plant growth regulator (PGR) and bud-dormancy breaker for deciduous fruit crops like grapes, apples, and kiwi. It promotes uniform bud break, early flowering, and consistent maturity, significantly increasing yield and fruit quality.
- Active Ingredient: Hydrogen Cyanamide (50% w/w).
- Appearance: Clear, colorless to slightly blue liquid.
- Mode of Action: Acts as a chemical, non-toxic pesticide (biological agent) that breaks bud dormancy and stimulates metabolism.
- Formulation: 50% SL (Soluble Liquid).
- Optimal Application: Applied in winter/early spring, generally 3040 days before natural bud break
- Uniform Bud Break: Ensures synchronized, even bud break, leading to uniform flowering and fruit set.
- Higher Yields: Significantly boosts crop yields,berry set, and cluster weight.
- Earlier Maturity: Encourages earlier maturity, allowing for earlier harvest and better market timing.
- Overcomes Chilling Deficiency: Acts as a substitute for cold temperatures, forcing dormant plants in warmer climates to grow.
- Enhanced Quality: Improves overall fruit quality and uniformity.
- Toxicity: Highly toxic; handle with proper protective equipment, including gloves, masks, and eye protection.
- Application: Apply as a foliar spray during dormant stages.
- Storage: Store in a cool, well-ventilated place away from sunlight.
- Usage Warning: Overconcentration can damage buds or delay growth.
