Product Type

: Plant Growth Regulators

Description

: Pactro 23 is a systemic plant growth regulator that stops extra leaf growth and helps fruit trees like mango make more flowers and fruit. It works by blocking plant hormones called gibberellins. This saves energy for the plant to grow better fruit.

Active Ingrident

: Paclobutrazol

Formulation

: 23% SC

Shelf Life

: The shelf-life of the insecticide shall be 2 year(s).

Application

: Pactro 23 is primarily applied as a soil drench around the root drip line of fruit trees like mango or as a light foliar spray on field crops.

Compatible

: Pactro 23 is generally considered physically compatible with standard fertilisers and common pesticides. Tank-mixing is rarely recommended because it is applied solo to the root zone

Mode Of Action

: Pactro 23 is a systemic plant growth regulator. It works by blocking the synthesis of gibberellins, the plant hormones responsible for cell elongation and shoot growth. By stopping excessive leaf and stem growth, it redirects the plant's energy toward early and uniform flowering, better fruit set, and higher yields

Features

: Controls Vegetative Growth - Pactro 23 blocks gibberellin production and stops excessive shoot and leaf elongation — redirects plant energy from leaves to flowers and fruits.
Advanced Flowering - Pactro 23 PGR induces early and uniform flower bud formation — mango trees treated with Paclobutrazol flower earlier and more uniformly than untreated trees.
Improves Fruit Set - Pactro 23 reduces pre-harvest fruit drop and improves the number of fruits retained on the tree through to harvest.
Better Fruit Quality - Pactro 23 produces bigger, more uniformly coloured, higher-quality fruits that command higher market prices.
Long Duration of Action - A single well-timed soil drench application remains active for 2 to 3 seasons, significantly reducing the cost and effort of crop management.
Compact Canopy - Pactro 23 reduces internode lengths of new shoots and promotes earlier terminal bud formation.
