Purpose:Chlormequat is plant growth retardants, which can inhibit plant cell to grow but will not infect cell division; it can shorten internode length and petiole of the plant and make the plants short and strong, the stalks thicken, the leaves turn green, improving insect resistance ability of plants. It can make crops endure drought and waterlog and prevent the crops from lodging; it has anti-saline ability and can prevent shedding of cotton bolls and increase the tuber of potato. 

Product specification and packaging: 98% active compound, plastic bags filled with nitrogen, aluminium-foil bag, cardboard barrel, 50kg / barrel. Packaging can also be arranged according to customer requirements.

Note：In normal production, low temperature stability and dilution stability should be tested at least once every three months.
