Recently, our company received a purchase order from an Indonesian customer for 20% calcium cyclohexane water-dispersible granules. This order marks another successful collaboration of our agricultural products in the Southeast Asian market.
What is cyclohexane calcium?
Cyclocycline calcium, also known as Lifengling or Cyclocycline, is an inhibitor of gibberellin biosynthesis. It can inhibit gibberellin synthesis through absorption by seeds, roots, and leaves, thereby suppressing excessive crop growth. It can effectively shorten plant stems, control internode elongation, make stems thicker and plants shorter, thus significantly enhancing lodging resistance. At the same time, it can promote crop growth, stimulate lateral bud growth and root development, keep stems and leaves dark green, and create more favorable conditions for photosynthesis. It can also improve plant stress resistance, enhance plant resistance to diseases, cold and drought, reduce herbicide damage, and thus improve harvest efficiency.
Why do Indonesian customers need calcium cyclohexane?
In Indonesia, agricultural production is mainly based on oil palm, rice, mango, and banana. In the hot and rainy environment, crops are prone to excessive vegetative growth and weak stems, leading to a high risk of lodging. Once lodged, the foliage provides shade, nutrients are lost, fruit set is reduced, and both yield and quality are compromised, directly impacting farmers' income. Therefore, controlling excessive vegetative growth and preventing lodging has become a critical issue that urgently needs to be addressed in local agriculture.
Calcium cyclamate, a novel plant growth retardant, is gradually gaining favor in the Indonesian market due to its unique advantage of mild growth control. Unlike traditional growth regulators, it inhibits excessive stem growth without adversely affecting subsequent shoot growth. It effectively dwarfs plants, enhances lodging resistance, and maintains the crop's normal growth rhythm and continuous fruiting ability, thus balancing growth control with crop health.
Specifically formulated for Indonesian farmland: 20% Cyclohexanoate WDG Product Features
Many Indonesian growers often encounter problems when using growth regulators: powders generate a lot of dust, clumping even after mixing with water for a long time, and the pesticide tends to settle and clog sprayers under tropical hard water irrigation, delaying field operations. This 20% calcium cyclohexane water-dispersible granules (WDG) is designed to address these pain points. The granules have good flowability, produce almost no dust, and quickly disperse into a stable solution when poured into water and gently stirred, making it compatible with conventional farm spraying equipment.
The 20% concentration balances application costs and field effectiveness, eliminating the need for complex calculations and simplifying preparation for farmers. The pesticide has a gentle effect, focusing on regulating crop vegetative growth, promoting stronger stems, reducing the risk of lodging during the rainy season, and avoiding complete suppression of new shoot growth. It is suitable for the management of various crops including Indonesian oil palm, rice, and tropical fruits and vegetables.
Summarize
As large-scale planting continues in Indonesia, the local demand for imported high-quality plant growth regulators will continue to expand. 20% calcium cyclohexane (WDG) has a wide range of advantages, including mild growth control, safety and efficiency, increased yield and quality, and stress resistance and damage reduction. It has broad application prospects in growth control scenarios for tropical fruits and vegetables such as oil palm, rice, mango, and banana.
