When is the right time to apply chlormequat to corn

Chlormequat is a plant growth regulator that can be used on crops such as rice, cotton, wheat and corn, so when is the right time to apply chlormequat to corn?

1. When is the right time to apply chlormequat to corn?

Chlormequat is generally applied to corn at the 6-12 leaf stage, but the best period is at the 6-10 leaf stage. The specific time can be from 9-11 am and after 5 pm. When spraying, simply spray evenly on the upper part of the leaves; never spray twice or miss any, and only one spray is needed during the entire growth period.

2. What is the use of applying chlormequat to corn?

Chlormequat is an excellent plant growth regulator, also known as rice-wheat regulator. Its physiological function is to control the vegetative growth of the plant (that is, the growth of roots, stems and leaves), promote the reproductive growth of the plant (that is, the growth of flowers and fruits), shorten the internodes of the plant, make it stocky and resistant to lodging, deepen the leaf color, strengthen photosynthesis, and improve the fruit-setting rate, drought resistance, cold resistance and saline-alkali resistance of the plant.

Chlormequat has a controlling effect on crop growth and can prevent seedling rot and seedling failure, control growth and increase tillering, keep plants healthy and prevent lodging, and increase ears and yield.
