Prohexadione Calcium
Type: Plant Growth Regulator
Mode of Action: Inhibiting of the biosynthesis of gibberellins
Common Product Names: Kudos & ProHex
What is it?
Prohexadione Calcium is a widely used plant growth regulator primarily applied in agricultural settings to manage the growth patterns of crops such as apples, pears, rice, and turf grasses. Its primary function is to curb excessive vegetative growth, thereby improving the overall quality and yield of the crops. The substance is typically formulated as a water-soluble granule that can be easily mixed and applied with standard agricultural spraying equipment.
How does it work?
Prohexadione Calcium works by inhibiting the action of specific enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of gibberellins, which are essential for cell elongation and plant growth. By blocking gibberellin production, the active ingredient reduces internode length, leading to more compact and robust plants. This controlled growth allows for better light penetration, improved air circulation within the canopy, and enhanced resistance to lodging (the bending over of plants due to their own weight or external factors).
