PCP #28042 · BASF Canada Inc. · Growth Regulator
Plant growth regulator containing prohexadione calcium for vegetative growth control in apples, cherries, and strawberries. Also provides fire blight suppression in apples by inhibiting gibberellin biosynthesis, reducing shoot growth for 2-5 weeks per application. Contains the allergen sulfites.
Crop × pest × application rate combinations from the official label. Rates converted to per-acre. PHI is the pre-harvest interval; REI is the restricted-entry interval. Always confirm against the official label PDF before applying.

| Compatible | AMS APOGEE plant growth regulator can be applied with ammonium sulphate (AMS) at a ratio of 1:1 to APOGEE plant growth regulator if the water source used for spray applications contains high levels of calcium (hard water). Use high-quality, spray grade AMS to avoid plugging nozzles. | 1:1 ratio to APOGEE |
