GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
FMC Repay PGR is a systemic growth regulator that reduces internode lengths of new shoots and causes earlier formation of terminal buds. Use of FMC Repay should begin only when trees are nearing their optimum size. It is most suited to intensively managed orchards where trees are near to filling their allocated space and growth control is a prime requirement. It is not suitable for old or unhealthy trees. If a tree is under stress FMC Repay should NOT be used.
Stress can be caused by:
- moisture shortage due to lack of rain, or inadequate irrigation
- high temperature
- salinity
- moisture excess due to water table, flooding or inappropriate irrigation
- severe or successive frosts; poor fertility caused by imbalance of major or minor nutrients, diseases, insects, inappropriate herbicide use, mechanical damage.
Tree Management
Treated trees may produce heavier crops and require a higher level of fertilizer application. Ensure that treated trees are not over-watered or subjected to drought stress. In some instances, treated trees may set excess fruit and careful attention should be given to thinning operations. When replanting a treated orchard, at least 3 years should elapse since the last application for FMC Repay. In orchards, which have been treated with collar drenches of FMC Repay, fresh soil should be provided to allow tree establishment and growth. Remove treated soil. An alternative is to avoid original tree-holes, and place young trees as far as practicable from the treated soil (minimum 1.5m). Where young trees are required to be planted in an established orchard which has been treated with collar drenches of FMC Repay remove treated soil and replace with fresh soil.
