Plant regulators are now widely used in agricultural production. They can be used quickly and without any problems. You must know these misunderstandings!
Misunderstanding 1. Blind pursuit of "fast"
The earlier the product is launched, the more competitive the product will indeed be. But sometimes fast has side effects. For example, the use of ethephon to promote red grapes can easily lead to grape droplets during ripening and increased disease.
In order to pursue "fast", even increasing the dosage and the number of times of use will shorten the production cycle of crops after use, easy to premature aging, and even inhibit the growth in serious cases, resulting in plant death.
Misunderstanding 2. Plant conditioners are used as fertilizers
Plant growth regulators and fertilizers are simply two different things and cannot be mixed together. The mechanism of action of plant regulators is to achieve the purpose of agricultural production by adjusting some biochemical reactions in the internal growth of plants. Substances that are not nutritious and cannot replace the role of various elements in fertilizers in plants. On the basis of scientific management and fertilizer use, plant regulators can be used rationally to play the role of regulators.
Mistake 3: It can be used at any time
Many people feel that as long as they are used according to the instructions and do not increase the dosage, there will be no harm to crops.
The same regulator may have different effects in different periods of crops, so it should not be used casually. For example, when gibberellin is used in apple flower bud differentiation stage, it will inhibit flower bud differentiation, and when it is used in flowering stage, it can improve fruit setting rate. Regardless of the stage of the crop, arbitrary use can even lead to reduced yields.
Misunderstanding 4. Use with experience
When using the product, ignore the product description and precautions. Some plant regulators have a relatively long residual period after root irrigation (the inhibitory effect of paclobutrazol can last until the second year), and the second use may need to be reduced. If you do not pay attention, it may cause phytotoxicity.
Each product is different, some need to be sprayed, some need to be irrigated; some need to be dissolved with alcohol, etc. In short, when using plant conditioners, you need to read the instructions in detail or consult a person, and fully understand before using, otherwise it will be Affect the use effect, and even cause harm.
Let's talk about another confusing problem: plant growth regulators and plant growth agents lack the word "regulation", but they are actually different. Plant growth agents may be nutrients that are chelated by trace elements. Therefore, to choose the right product, you must remember to look at the ingredients, not just the name, it may not be the same thing.
In short, in agricultural production, the use of plant growth regulators must be cautious. The plant body itself has a regulating function, and the regulator is only to make the crop develop in the direction we need, so as to achieve high yield. If you don't understand it, or if it is necessary, try not to use it to prevent adverse consequences.
