Application
1. Single use: To promote fruit-set and parthenocarpy,the flower soaking or fruit soaking dosage is about 250mg/L. To promote rooting, seed soaking dosage is 5-200mg/L(the dosage is different with different plants or stages), irrigating root dosage is 10-80mg/L, foliage spray dosage is 10-20mg/L.
2. Compound with fertilizers: the dosage compound with foliagefertilizer is 10mg/Lfoliagefertilizer,the dosage compound base fertilizer or water flush fertilizer is 10-20g/mu
3. Compound with other regulators: 10% NAA·IBA-K SP, 1% IBA-K·S-abscisic Acid WP turned out to be good products.
