Altercel®
Plant Growth Regulator
Altercel is among the most reliable and widely used plant growth regulators on the market today. Altercel may be used on any crop in the greenhouse or nursery including but not limited to, poinsettias, hibiscus, azaleas, and geraniums to reduce stem elongation, induce early flowering, improve flowering, and to produce compact plants with multiple buds per shoots.
On certain crops a tank mix of B-Nine WSG and Altercel can provide a synergistic effect that results in enhanced activity. An example is 1250 PPM of B-Nine WSG and 1250 PPM of Altercel for height control in finishing bedding plants. Maximum effect in spray applications occurs when Altercel enters the plant through leaves and stems.
