Can paclobutrazol be mixed and used together with potassium dihydrogen phosphate?

Paclobutrazol is a plant growth regulator, suitable for rice, wheat, cotton, fruit trees, etc., so can paclobutrazol be used together with potassium dihydrogen phosphate?

1. Can paclobutrazol be used together with potassium dihydrogen phosphate?

Paclobutrazol can be used together with potassium dihydrogen phosphate. Because paclobutrazol is a plant growth regulator, it can control excessive growth of crops. Potassium dihydrogen phosphate is a foliar fertilizer, and after application it can make crop leaves dark green and the root system well developed. The properties of the two are not mutually exclusive, so they can be mixed. However, when applying, follow the instructions to avoid hindering crop growth.

2. How is paclobutrazol used?

1. Rice

In seedling fields with long seedling age, at the 1-leaf-1-heart stage of the seedlings, use 300 g/667 sq m of 10% wettable powder, spray with 50 L of water, which can control seedling height and cultivate strong seedlings with many tillers and strong rooting ability. After transplanting, at the panicle differentiation stage, use 180 g/667 sq m of 10% wettable powder, spray with 50-60 L of water, which can improve plant type, make it dwarf, and reduce lodging.

2. Fruit trees

The application effect on apple, pear, peach and cherry trees is significant, and it can be used for soil treatment, trunk painting and foliar spraying. Soil treatment has the best effect. For soil treatment, use 10-15 g of 10% wettable powder per cubic meter of tree canopy, in a form similar to a ring-shaped fertilization ditch, 30 cm wide and 20 cm deep, following the principle of exposing roots without injuring them, scatter the pesticide into the ditch and cover with soil. Water before and after application to maintain soil moisture. Use 150-300 times dilution of 15% wettable powder to paint the trunk. Use 75-150 times dilution of 15% wettable powder for foliar spraying; for young trees, it can make the canopy dwarf and compact, and bloom and bear fruit earlier; for mature trees, it can inhibit new shoot growth, increase yield and improve quality.

3. Cash crops

Cash crops include soybean, rapeseed seedlings, cotton, flowers, wheat, etc. Among them, spraying the whole soybean plant with 500 times dilution of 10% wettable powder at the initial flowering stage has the effect of dwarfing soybean plant height, promoting branching and increasing yield. When rapeseed seedlings are at the 2-leaf-1-heart to 3-leaf-1-heart stage, spraying 500-1000 times dilution of 10% wettable powder has the effect of preventing leggy seedlings and freezing injury. Application in cotton seedling raising can prevent the occurrence of leggy seedlings and freezing injury. Application on flowers can make the plant type upright and the posture graceful. Application on wheat can increase tillering and resist lodging.
