6-benzyladenine

Mode of action
The active ingredient 6-benzyladenine is a synthetic cytokinin; little translocated.

Use
6-benzyladenine stimulates the following effects: cell division; lateral bud emergence (apples, pears, oranges); basal shoot formation (roses, orchids); flowering (cyclamen, cacti); fruit set (grapes, oranges, melons); causes abscission of young fruitlets, leading to increased fruit size, stimulates flower bud formation and regular bearing in fruit trees. 6-benzyladenine inhibits senescence of rice seedlings. Enhances lateral bud break and lateral shoot growth, leading to fuller white pine trees. Also causes uniform bolting and increased seed production in spinach. Applied by foliar application, soaking, or painting. Its limited ability to translocate is utilised to restrict effects to the target part of the plant, by local application. Applied at 30 g/a for apple trees.

Available formulations
Globachem can offer you the following formulations, based on the active ingredient 6-benzyladenine:

• 6-benzyladenine 100 SL (6-benzyladenine 100 g/l) – soluble liquid

Fluroxypyr

Mode of action
The active ingredient fluroxypyr is applied as fluroxypyr-meptyl. After predominantly foliar uptake, the ester is hydrolysed to the parent acid, which is the herbicidally active form, and translocated rapidly to other parts of the plants. Fluroxypyr acts by inducing characteristic auxin-type responses, e.g. leaf curling.

Use
The herbicide fluroxypyr is effective by post-emergence foliar application, controlling a range of economically important broad-leaved weeds (including Galium aparine) in all small grain crops, and Rumex sp. and Urtica dioica in pastures. Directed applications of fluroxypyr are used against herbaceous and woody broad-leaved weeds in orchards (apple only) and plantation crops (rubber and oilpalm), and broad-leaved brush spp. in conifer forests. Post-emergence, broadcast applications of fluroxypyr in maize up to the 6-leaf stage of the crop are used for control of Calystegia sepium, Convolvulus arvensis and Solanum nigrum. The meptyl and 2-butoxy-1-methylethyl esters have similar activity, the advantage of the latter being the wider range of formulation options that are available.

Available formulations
Globachem can offer you the following formulations, based on the active ingredient fluroxypyr:

• Fluroxypyr 180 EC (fluroxypyr 180 g/l) – emulsion concentrate
