Uniconazole is a plant growth retarder belonging to the triazole class . It acts on a large number of plants and inhibits the production of gibberellins .

use

Uniconazole is applied to plants to reduce their growth. It is often used on perennials to keep them at a market size or to delay their flowering. After application, the leaves of the plant often appear darker as Uniconazole increases the chlorophyll content.

Formulations

The following products containing Uniconazole are approved for use on ornamental plants as growth regulators in the USA:

  • Concise
  • Sumagic

Sunny is an Australian product that is approved for use on avocado trees. It improves fruit size and quality.

application

Formulations containing uniconazole can be sprayed directly onto the leaves of the plant or applied to the soil. After being taken up by the roots of the plant, uniconazole is moved into the xylem .

Excessive application

The excessive application of growth-inhibiting substances can lead to the death of the plant. To reverse the inhibition by the uniconazole, gibberellins and benzylaminopurine can be administered. The Product Fresco available in the USA is approved for this.
