Mepiquat Chloride

Product name: Mepiquat Chloride

Chemical name: 1,1-dimethylpiperidinium chloride

Molecular weight: 149.66

CAS No: 533-74-4

Structural formula: 

Application: Mepiquat Chloride is a kind of plant growth retardant. It mostly restrain the biosynthesis of gibberellic acid inside crops when being absorbed by leaves and roots. In this way it can restrain the elongation of cell, stay the growth of nutrition;Make plants shorter and increase content of chlorophyll.This also increases assimilation of leaves and adjusts distribution of outcome inside plants; Adjust growth of cottons;Control model of plant;Harmonize develop of nutrition;Reduce falling off of boil, increase boil number and weight of each plant, increase output.We can see from research that it could increase number and weight of boil of the middle and lower part of plant; Make wheat short but strong and increase the production.Restrain elongation of culm, make plant to be wide and strong, avoid its lodge.The color of leaves will be darker, accumulation of nutrition become increased, number of fringe and output both increased obviously.When crops were sprayed in anthesis, we can raise their fruit rate and kilo grain weight; For peanut, mung bean, tomato, watermelon and cucumber, it can help the transportation of photosynthesis outcome to flower and fruit.Aboid falling off, increase fruit rate; Help the intumescences of rhizome, Increase content of grape sugar and out put.It can obviously restrain elongation between tips, reduce consume of nutrition, facilitate accumulation of sugar and intumescences of animus.
