Flordimex 480 SL – Action

  • Accelerates ripening
  • Improves the colouring of apple trees
  • The substance penetrates plant tissue, decomposing to release ethylene which causes acceleration of the respiration and ripening process of fruits.

Flordimex 480 SL – Application

  • The product applied to tomato plants at a higher dose may cause accelerated leaf senescence (without affecting yield).
  • Too early spraying of apple trees risks obtaining undersized apples.
  • Delaying harvest risks the dropping of a large number of fruits.
  • Apply the product up to 4-5 hours before expected rain.

 

Use in crops:

  • Apple tree
