EBS Boost It is a plant growth regulator containing Alpha Naphthyl Acetic Acid 4.5% SL. It prevents premature shedding of flowers, buds, and unripe fruits in crops like Pineapple, Tomato, Chilli, Mango, Grapes, and Cotton. Once applied, it gets absorbed through the leaf surface, keeps flowers attached longer, and converts more flowers into fruits. It also helps fruits grow bigger, heavier, and more uniform before harvest.
