How to Use Hoshi Plant Growth Regulator:
Shake the Sumitomo Hoshi bottle well before opening to ensure a uniform liquid.
Measure the required quantity as per the crop-wise dosage table.
Fill the spray tank with about 70% of the required clean water.
Pour the measured product slowly into the tank while stirring continuously.
Top up with the remaining water and mix thoroughly until a uniform solution is formed.
Spray evenly on both upper and lower leaf surfaces using a fine-mist nozzle.
Re-apply at 10 to 15-day intervals as per the crop stage and growth response.
Best Time to Apply:
The best time to apply Sumitomo Hoshi Plant Growth Regulator is during the pre-flowering, flowering, fruit-setting, and fruit-development stages, when crops are most responsive to growth promoters. Spray in the early morning or late evening hours when temperatures are mild, the weather is calm, and there is no harsh sunlight, to ensure maximum absorption and minimum loss through evaporation.

Frequency of Application: Apply Sumitomo Hoshi 2 to 3 times per crop cycle at 10 to 15-day intervals, depending on crop type, growth stage, and target benefit.
Re-Entry Period: Workers may safely re-enter treated fields once the foliar spray has dried, typically within 4 to 6 hours of application.
