Cycocel® 750

Questions and Answers from the Field

• Why use Cycocel 750?

  In barley, wheat and oats it provides improved resistance to lodging and stem break, drought and eyespot damage, more even head height (reduces straw volume through combine) and fertiliser inputs target optimum yield rather than limited to avoid lodging.
   

  In perennial ryegrass seed crops it synchronise tiller growth and development and to
  increase tiller survival (improved yield).

• What does Cycocel 750 do?

  Reduces the effects of plant hormones that stimulate stem elongation and apical dominance. This leads to height reductions, stem strengthening and increased tiller productivity (responses vary according to species, rate of use and timing. Timing is critical for optimum results).

• What is compatible with Cycocel 750?

  Compatibly with wide range of insecticides, fungicides and foliar fertilisers. Where untried tank mixtures are contemplated (new products and cultivars) testing on a small scale is advised before general use. If in doubt, use alone. When mixing with foliar fertilisers, Cycocel 750 should be added to tank first.

• Is Cycocel 750 a growth retardant?

  Cycocel is a growth retardant or plant growth regulator. BASF’s Cycocel reduces the effects of plant hormones that stimulate stem elongation and apical dominance. This leads to height reductions, stem strengthening and increased tiller productivity.           

• What are the top 5 plant growth regulators?

  One of the top 5 plant regulators is BASF’s Cycocel 750. Cycocel 750 is a highly effective plant growth regulator that leads to height reductions, stem strengthening and increased tiller productivity. Other top plant growth regulators include BASF’s Terpal (for cereals) and Regalis Xtra (for apples).

• What does Cycocel 750 do to plants?

  BASF’s Cycocel 750 plant growth regulator effectively reduces the effects of plant hormones that stimulate stem elongation and apical dominance. Cycocel leads to more even head height, reducing the volume of straw at harvest and improves resistance to lodging, stem break, drought and eyespot damage.

• What is Cycocel 750 also called?

  BASF’s Cycocel 750 is also called Chlormequat-chloride which is the active ingredient of this plant growth regulator. Cycocel 750 reduces the effects of plant hormones that stimulate stem elongation and apical dominance.

• What is a plant growth regulator for barley?

  The ideal plant growth regulator for barley is Cycocel 750. Cycocel 750 reduces the effects of plant hormones that stimulate stem elongation and apical dominance. In barley crops, this leads to height reductions, stem strengthening and increased tiller productivity. Another excellent plant growth regulator for barley is BASF’s Terpal.

• What is the active ingredient in Cycocel?

  The active ingredient in Cycocel 750 plant growth regulator is Chlormequat-chloride. Cycocel 750 is a reliable plant growth regulator that can be used to target shorter crops with stronger stems and more productive tillers.

• What is the application rate for Cycocel?

  The application rate for Cycocel 750 varies from 1.0 to 1.5 litres per hectare according to the target crop and straw and neck break pressure. For more information, please read label instructions.
