The Market Prospect of Prohexadione Calcium

Prohexadione Calcium is a new type of Plant Growth Regulator of cyclohexane carboxylic acids, mainly used to control the growth of cereal crops, can shorten the length of crop stems, and can enhance the plant's disease resistance, cold resistance, and stress resistance. Sexual ability, and has obvious anti-lodging effect, to achieve the purpose of increasing production and improving quality.

Analysis of advantages and disadvantages

Advantage:

(1) Prohexadione calcium only inhibits the growth of stems and leaves, and has no effect on the growth and development of crop fruit grains, while Plant Growth Regulators such as paclobutrazol inhibit all gibberellin synthesis pathways, including crop fruits and grains.

(2) The half-life of prohexadione calcium is short, easy to degrade and metabolize, and has no effect on the next crops. Plant growth regulators such as chlormequat have a long half-life.

(3) Calcium prohexadione has various functions. It can not only control the excessive growth of plants, promote the expansion of roots and tubers, increase the fruit setting rate, increase yield, optimize quality, but also enhance the stress resistance and disease resistance of plants, and prevent premature aging of plants.

Shortcoming:

(1) The price of prohexadione calcium is relatively expensive. If the amount is too large, the cost will be too high, but if the amount is small, the control effect will be poor, and it will cause the leaves to turn yellow and affect the photosynthesis of crops.

(2) Calcium prohexadione is a plant growth regulator with high activity. When used in crop fields with poor growth and poor soil, it will completely inhibit the growth of crops and cause crop yield reduction.

Market Prospects

The discovery of prohexadione calcium is different from plant growth retardants such as quaternary ammonium salts (chlormequat), triazoles (paclobutrazol, uniconazole), and has created a new field of late-stage inhibition of gibberellin biosynthesis.

At present, prohexadione calcium is widely concerned by domestic enterprises. The main reason is that compared with triazole retarders, prohexadione calcium has no residual toxicity to crop rotation plants and no pollution to the environment. It has strong advantages. In the future , which may replace triazole growth retardants. The green property is the biggest characteristic of prohexadione calcium. Its half-life in the soil does not exceed 24 hours, and it has low toxicity and low residue, which is an incomparable advantage of other regulator products.

Calcium prohexadione can directly regulate the photosynthesis of plants, and has broad application prospects in almost all crops. Plant hormones have a wide range of regulatory effects, and have significant disease resistance, insect resistance and stress resistance. This product will definitely become a hot product for domestic registration in the future.
