Gharda Chamatkar is a Plant Growth Regulator (PGR) that contains a highly effective component, Mepiquat Chloride 5% AS, that helps maintain the growth of crops like potato and cotton. Gharda Chamatkar fertilizer promotes stronger roots and helps to produce fruits with a deeper green color, offering high-quality crops. Mepiquat Chloride 5% AS regulates hormones and reduces excessive leaf growth, increasing the production of fruits and flowers.
Key Features and Benefits of Gharda Chamatkar Plant Growth Regulator:
Higher Yield: Mepiquat Chloride 5% AS maintains hormonal balance in crops, leading to increased crop production.
Stress-Tolerant: Gharda Chamatkar PGR improves crop tolerance against environmental stress like drought, heat, rain, and extreme temperatures.
Enhances Crop Health: Chamatkar Gharda fertilizer improves nutrient availability and produces crops with stronger root systems.
Improves Crop Quality: Mepiquat Chloride 5% AS enhances the photosynthesis process and promotes better quality crops with better color.
Chamatkar Plant Growth Regulator Uses:
Gharda Chamatkar Plant Growth Regulator is recommended primarily for cotton crop management:
Cotton (BT and Non-BT) — Controls excessive vegetative growth, improves boll retention, increases lint yield, gives compact plant shape, and uniform boll opening
Potato — Growth management and yield improvement
Gharda Chamatkar Dose:
Apply Gharda Chamatkar Plant Growth Regulator as a foliar spray at the recommended dose. The number of sprays depends on the growth stage and vigour of the cotton crop.
Crop | Dose / Acre | Per Litre | Per 15L Pump |
|---|
Cotton | 400–500 ml | 2–2.5 ml | 30–37 ml |
Potato | 500–600 ml | 2.5–3 ml | 37–45 ml |
How to Use Gharda Chamatkar Plant Growth Regulator:
Shake the Mepiquat Chloride 5% AS bottle well before opening to mix the active ingredient evenly.
Wear gloves and a face mask before measuring the product.
Measure the required quantity using a marked cup or syringe.
Half-fill the spray tank with clean water and pour in the measured product slowly.
Add the remaining water and stir until the solution looks uniform.
Use a fine-mist or hollow-cone nozzle for proper coverage.
Spray during calm weather, covering the entire cotton canopy evenly.
Use 150 to 200 litres of water per acre for full plant coverage.
Best Time to Apply:
The best time to apply Gharda Chamatkar Plant Growth Regulator is at the early square formation stage (40 to 50 days after sowing) — when the cotton plant starts producing flower buds. This is when energy needs to be redirected from leafy growth to reproductive parts. Late afternoon or early evening is the best window, as leaf temperature is cooler and absorption is stronger.
Frequency of Application and Re-entry Period:
Frequency: 2 to 3 sprays per crop cycle at 20 to 25-day intervals during the vegetative and flowering stages.
Re-Entry Period: Wait at least 12 hours after spraying before re-entering the treated field without protective clothing.
Compatibility: Mepiquat Chloride 5% AS mixes well with most common fungicides, insecticides, and water-soluble fertilizers. Always run a small jar test 24 hours before a new tank-mix combination.
Safety, Precautions and Handling:
Wear hand gloves, face mask, and protective eyewear while handling the product.
Do not eat, drink, or smoke during mixing or spraying.
