Five Misunderstandings for Using Plant Growth Regulators

In recent years, plant growth regulators have played an important role in enhancing crop resistance, increasing crop yields, improving product quality, and increasing planting efficiency, and have been recognized by more and more farmers. However, there are some obvious misunderstandings in the use of many farmers, seriously affecting the results. For this reason, the author reminds farmers to prevent entering the following five errors when using plant growth regulators.

Myth #1: Using "agent" to replace "fat" Plant growth regulators must exert sufficient effects under adequate water and fertilizer conditions. However, some plant growth regulators have been overestimated by manufacturers and have caused some farmers to use them as fertilizers. The hope of promoting the growth of crops rests on the plant growth regulators rather than on conventional techniques such as fertilization, irrigation, cultivator, and loose soil, and ultimately affects the use of plant growth regulators.

Misunderstanding 2: The arbitrarily increased use of plant growth regulators is a hormone-like substance, which is generally a few grams or a few milliliters per acre. However, some farmers are always afraid of less use of no effect, free to increase the amount of plant growth regulators or the use of concentration, this will not only not promote plant growth, but will inhibit its growth, and even lead to serious deformity, dry off The whole plant died.

Myth #3: Use some plant growth regulators directly on water. For example, the use of 98% (gibberellin) in production must be preceded by the use of alcohol or warm, high-alcohol liquor. However, some farmers often do not read the instructions carefully before using the plant growth regulators. Instead, they use plant growth regulators directly on the water. Since some plant growth regulators cannot be directly dissolved in water, and a small amount of plant growth regulators are not formulated as "mother liquor" before they are formulated to require concentration, it is difficult for the chemicals to be mixed once, and the effect of the use of the plant growth regulators is also affected.

Misunderstanding 4: Mixing plant growth regulators with other substances at random and other substances such as chemical fertilizers, pesticides, etc. can only be determined after carefully reading the instructions and testing. However, when many farmers use plant growth regulators, they tend to save time and labor, often mixing it with chemical fertilizers, pesticides, fungicides, etc., in hopes of achieving growth, flower protection, fertilizer supplements, or pest control. . However, if it is improperly mixed, it will "do more work than good," or even "work and work."

Myth #5: Do not look at the timing. Spraying plant growth regulators at any time must be used at the key timing of plant growth (such as cucumber flower bud differentiation) in order to maximize its effectiveness. If you do not use the right time, you will not receive the desired results, or even produce "side effects." Some peasant households do not know enough about this and think that spraying plant growth regulators at any time has the effect of promoting growth, increasing production, and increasing income. Therefore, spraying at any time is not effective because of poor timing. Even reduce production and revenue.
