GENERAL INFORMATION
Falgro 20SP is a plant growth regulator soluble powder for use on food and nonfood crops to affect the growth characteristics of specified crops: When used on table grapes, application of Falgro 20SP for 'Stretch' produces looser cluster forms, allows better air circulation to aid in the control of bunch rot, increases light penetration to aid in sugar development and reduces the cost of thinning. Application of Falgro 20SP for 'Thinning' (decreased berry set) reduces hand thinning costs and hastens maturity. Application of Falgro 20SP for 'Sizing' produces larger berries and clusters when used in conjunction with girdling and thinning techniques.
When used on grapefruit, application of Falgro 20SP reduces water loss during storage and can be used to manage harvest timing. When applied before color change, use of Falgro 20SP produces the greatest delay in rind aging and the firmest rind.
When used on lemons and limes, application of Falgro 20SP decreases rind yellowing/aging and the amount of small tree ripe fruit, thus allowing a more desirable production pattern relative to market demand. Application of Falgro 20SP is cumulative so that when applied for two years in succession, a larger difference in maturity and harvest pattern occurs. On navel oranges, Faigro 20SP may be used to reduce rind disorders (e.g., rind staining, water spotting, sticky surface, puffy rind and pressure rupture), aging and to manage harvest timing.
When used on tangerine hybrids, application of Faigro 20SP increases fruit set and yields, and delays rind aging and peel strength in hybrids with pollination problems such as Minneola, Orlando, Robinson and Sunburst. Faigro 20SP can be used to increase fruit set and yield in Clementine Mandarin. Faigro 20SP may also be used for post-harvest applications on citrus. On lemons, Faigro 20SP can be used to reduce sour rot pathogen {Geotrichum candidum) infection and to delay rind senescence and color changes to extend storage life.
