PRODUCT SPECIFICATION
| Particulars | Details |
| Product Name | Cultar |
| Brand Name | Syngenta India Ltd |
| Technical Composition | Paclobutrazol 23% SC (w/w) |
| Formulation Type | SC (Suspension Concentrate) |
| Category | Plant Growth Regulator (PGR) |
| Toxicity | Blue Triangle (Moderately Toxic) |
| Chemical / Biological Group | Triazole Plant Growth Regulator |
| Primary Function (Crop wise) | Mango: Induces early and uniform flowering, manages vegetative vigor, and breaks alternate bearing tendencies. |
| Pomegranate: Induces profuse flowering and enhances fruit yield. | |
| Apple: Regulates vegetative growth and promotes fruit bud formation. | |
| Cotton: Restricts excessive vegetative growth and minimizes square/boll shedding. | |
| Groundnut: Restricts unwanted foliage expansion to redirect energy into yield optimization. | |
| Suitable Crops | Mango, Pomegranate, Apple, Cotton, Groundnut |
| Recommended Dosage (Crop Wise) | Mango (Soil Drench): 7–15 years: 15 ml/tree; 16–25 years: 20 ml/tree; >25 years: 25–40 ml/tree. |
| Pomegranate (Soil Drench): 3 ml per tree. | |
| Apple (Soil Drench): 10 ml per tree. | |
| Apple (Foliar Spray): 2 ml per Litre of water. | |
| Cotton (Foliar Spray): 60 ml per acre. | |
| Groundnut (Foliar Spray): 50 ml per acre. | |
| Water Requirement per Acre | Varies by application method: 5 to 10 litres per tree for soil drenches; approx. 200 litres per acre for field crop foliar sprays. |
| Recommended Crop Stage | Post-harvest or dormant stage for fruit trees (soil drench); active vegetative or pegging stages for field crops (foliar application). |
| Type of Action | Systemic Plant Growth Regulator |
| Mode of Action | Inhibits gibberellin biosynthesis. Absorbed via roots or stem tissues and translocated to sub-apical meristems, reducing internode length, slowing excessive vegetative growth, and encouraging terminal bud formation. |
| Method of Application | Soil drench around the active root zone for orchard crops; high-volume foliar spray for field crops like cotton and groundnut. |
| Compatibility | Compatible with commonly used standard insecticides and fungicides; however, a small-scale jar test is recommended prior to physical tank-mixing. |
| Waiting Period (PHI) | Pomegranate: 83 days |
| Apple: 134–155 days (depending on application stage) | |
| Cotton: 42 days | |
| Groundnut: 70 days | |
| Available Pack Sizes | 50 ml, 350 ml, 1 Litre |
Product Description
Cultar (Paclobutrazol 23% SC) is an advanced, systemic plant growth regulator manufactured by Syngenta India. It is engineered to control excessive vegetative vigor in orchards and field crops by regulating internal plant hormones. By optimizing canopy development and directing plant energy toward reproductive growth, Cultar helps secure earlier flowering, better fruit setting, and improved overall harvest yields.
Key Features
- Highly efficient systemic formula absorbed seamlessly through roots or plant tissues.
- Suppresses the production of gibberellins to curtail excessive shoot elongation and manage canopy size.
- Promotes uniform terminal bud development, triggering reliable and timely flowering.
- Versatile application options including root-zone soil drenching for trees and foliar sprays for row crops.
Key Benefits
- Optimized Yield Potential: Redirects plant resources from surplus leaf growth to fruit and flower development.
- Better Orchard Management: Minimizes the need for intensive and frequent manual pruning.
- Prevents Fruit Drop: Helps cotton and orchard crops hold onto squares, bolls, and developing fruits.
- Enhanced Quality: Contributes to superior fruit color, size consistency, and market grade.
Safety Precautions
- Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) including chemical-resistant gloves, eye goggles, masks, and protective garments during handling and application.
- Do not eat, drink, or smoke while preparing or applying the mixture.
- Avoid drift or runoff into nearby aquatic ecosystems, fish ponds, or non-target vegetation.
- Store safely in original, tightly sealed containers in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from children, livestock, and food products.
