Bayer Planofix is a plant growth regulator used to improve flowering, fruit setting, fruit retention, and crop quality in selected fruit, vegetable, and field crops. Planofix plant growth regulator works by managing plant hormone activity. Bayer Planofix supports better fruit holding in crops like mango, grapes, tomato, chilli, cotton, and pineapple when applied at the correct stage. Bayer Planofix also supports better fruit size, fruit quality, and uniform crop development under proper crop conditions. Planofix plant growth regulator works best as a foliar spray with even coverage and correct timing.
Key Features and Benefits of Bayer Planofix:
Reduces Flower Drop: Bayer Planofix helps reduce unwanted flower shedding, allowing more flowers to move toward fruit formation.
Improves Fruit Retention: Planofix plant growth regulator supports better holding of young fruits and reduces premature fruit fall.
Better Fruiting: Bayer Planofix helps improve fruit setting when sprayed at the right flowering or early fruit stage.
Useful in Multiple Crops: Planofix plant growth regulator can be used in crops like mango, grapes, tomato, chilli, cotton, and pineapple as per recommendation.
Improves Crop Quality: Bayer Planofix supports better fruit development, uniform growth, and improved produce quality when used correctly.
Low-Dose PGR: Planofix plant growth regulator is used at a small dose, making it convenient for farmers during regular foliar spray operations.
Planofix Uses:
Flowering Support: Flower induction, better flowering response, reduced flower shedding.
Fruit Setting Support: Better fruit setting in mango, grapes, tomato, chilli, and other suitable crops.
Fruit Drop Management: Reduced premature fruit drop, better fruit retention, improved crop holding.
Fruit Development: Better fruit size, fruit quality, and uniform development in recommended crops.

Bayer Planofix Dose:
Use Bayer Planofix as a foliar spray with clean water. Planofix Dose Per Litre is 0.30 ml per litre of water for general crop spray, or 4.5 ml in a 15-litre spray tank. Planofix plant growth regulator is usually applied at 45 ml per acre with enough water for uniform crop coverage. Spray timing should be selected according to crop stage, because Bayer Planofix gives better results when flowers, young fruits, or early fruiting parts are active.

How to Use Bayer Planofix:
Measure the required quantity of Bayer Planofix as per crop and spray volume.
Fill the spray tank halfway with clean water.
Add the measured Planofix plant growth regulator into a small amount of water first.
Mix Bayer Planofix properly so the solution becomes uniform.
Pour the mixed solution into the spray tank.
Add the remaining water and stir the solution well.
Spray Planofix plant growth regulator evenly on the crop canopy.
Cover flowers, buds, leaves, and young fruiting parts properly.
Use Bayer Planofix at the recommended crop stage for better results.
Do not spray Planofix plant growth regulator during strong wind, rainfall, or very hot afternoon weather.
Use the prepared spray solution on the same day and do not store it overnight.
Best Time to Apply:
Apply Bayer Planofix during flowering, fruit setting, or early fruit development stage, depending on the crop. Morning or evening spraying is better because the crop is less stressed and spray loss is lower. Planofix plant growth regulator should not be sprayed on drought-stressed, waterlogged, diseased, or weak crops. Use Bayer Planofix only when the crop is actively growing and the field condition is suitable.
Frequency of Application and Re-entry Period:
Frequency of Application: Bayer Planofix can be applied once or repeated as per crop stage and label guidance. In crops like chilli and tomato, farmers may need a second spray if flowering and fruiting continue.
Re-Entry Period: Do not enter the treated field for at least 24 hours after Planofix plant growth regulator application without proper protective gear.
Compatibility: Do not mix Bayer Planofix blindly with pesticides, fertilizers, micronutrients, or other PGR products. Always do a jar test first.
Crop Condition: Planofix plant growth regulator gives better results on healthy, actively growing crops with proper nutrition and irrigation.
Application Care: Bayer Planofix should be sprayed evenly, because poor coverage may reduce the result on flowers and young fruits.

Read the Bayer Planofix label carefully before mixing and spraying.
