Features of Paclobutrazol
1. Inhibition of Stem Elongation and Promotion of Branching
One of the most significant effects of Paclobutrazol is its ability to inhibit excessive stem elongation in plants, resulting in more compact and shorter plants. This effect is particularly evident in fruit trees, ornamental flowers, and some economic crops, helping to reduce wind damage and improve resistance to lodging. At the same time, shorter plants often promote the growth and development of lateral branches, increase leaf area index, and enhance photosynthetic efficiency, laying the foundation for high yields.
2. Promotion of Bud Differentiation and Improvement of Flower Quality
Paclobutrazol also facilitates the transition of plants from vegetative growth to reproductive growth, accelerating the process of flower bud differentiation. For fruit trees, this means an earlier flowering period, improved flowering uniformity, and increased fruit set rates. In floral production, this can lead to a greater number of flowers, extended flowering periods, and enhanced ornamental value. Additionally, Paclobutrazol can improve the quality of flowers, making colors more vibrant and flower shapes fuller.
3. Enhancement of Stress Resistance and Improvement of Yield and Quality
By regulating the hormonal balance within plants, Paclobutrazol can enhance the stress resistance of crops, including drought resistance, cold resistance, and disease resistance. Under adverse conditions, crops treated with Paclobutrazol often exhibit greater vitality and reduce yield losses caused by pests, diseases, and unfavorable environmental conditions. At the same time, Paclobutrazol can optimize the growing environment for fruits or seeds, improving yield and quality by increasing fruit size and enhancing color and taste.
