Daminozide

Type: Plant Growth Regulator

Mode of Action: Inhibiting the synthesis of gibberellins

Common Product Names: Dazide 85 WSG & B-Nine

What is it?

Daminozide is a synthetic plant growth regulator primarily used in the horticultural industry to manage the growth and development of plants. It is particularly popular in the production of ornamental plants and fruits such as apples and cherries. By applying Daminozide, growers can produce more uniform plants, control plant height, and enhance the quality and appearance of fruits. The compound is typically applied as a foliar spray and is absorbed by the plant, where it exerts its growth-regulating effects over time.

How does it work?

Daminozide works by inhibiting the natural production of gibberellins, which are plant hormones that promote cell elongation. By reducing gibberellin levels, Daminozide slows down the growth of stems and leaves, leading to more compact and bushier plants. This is particularly beneficial in ornamental plant production, where uniformity and controlled growth are critical. In fruit production, Daminozide can improve fruit set, enhance color, and increase the shelf life of the produce. The results of Daminozide application are typically seen within a few weeks, depending on the plant species and environmental conditions.

Benefits

  • Enhanced Plant Uniformity: Promotes uniform growth in ornamental plants, ensuring consistent size and shape.
  • Improved Fruit Quality: Enhances fruit color, size, and shelf life, making it ideal for commercial fruit production.
  • Controlled Plant Growth: Helps maintain desired plant height and shape, especially in greenhouse and nursery settings.
  • Increased Flowering: Stimulates more abundant and compact flowering, improving the aesthetic value of ornamental plants.
  • Long-Lasting Effects: The effects of Daminozide can last for several weeks, depending on environmental conditions and application rate.
