HIFIELD Flower Fix: Advanced PGR Solution to Reduce Flower & Fruit Drop for Better Yields

Flower and fruit drop is a major challenge in modern agriculture, directly affecting yield and profitability. Factors like environmental stress, nutrient deficiencies, and hormonal imbalances often cause premature abscission of flowers and fruits, resulting in lower productivity and economic losses.

HIFIELD Flower Fix (Alpha-Naphthyl Acetic Acid 4.5% SL) is a scientifically formulated plant growth regulator (PGR) that minimizes flower and fruit drop, enhances fruit retention, and supports optimal reproductive development across a wide variety of crops.

Product Overview

HIFIELD Flower Fix is a soluble liquid formulation (SL) containing Alpha-Naphthyl Acetic Acid (NAA) 4.5%, a potent auxin-type plant growth regulator. It works by modulating hormonal activity in plants, ensuring flowers and fruits are retained until maturity.

Key Features:

• Active Ingredient: Alpha-Naphthyl Acetic Acid 4.5% SL
• Formulation: Soluble Liquid (SL) for uniform foliar application
• Function: Reduces flower and fruit drop, enhances fruit set and retention
• Target Crops: Cotton, Chili, Brinjal, Tomato, Mango, and a wide range of fruits and vegetables

Mode of Action

Alpha-Naphthyl Acetic Acid (NAA) is a synthetic auxin hormone that regulates plant physiological processes:

Hormonal Regulation:

• Balances plant hormones to prevent premature flower and fruit abscission.

Improved Flowering & Fruit Set:

• Promotes reproductive development, ensuring a higher proportion of flowers convert into fruits.

Enhanced Fruit Retention:

• Reduces shedding caused by stress, nutrient imbalance, or irregular growth patterns.

Optimized Plant Energy Allocation:

• Redirects plant energy towards fruit development instead of excessive vegetative growth, resulting in better yields.

Benefits for the Agri-Input Sector

 

Crop-wise Applications

HIFIELD Flower Fix is suitable for a wide range of crops for improving flowering, fruit set, and retention:

1. Cotton

• Benefits: Reduces square and boll drop; enhances boll retention and overall yield.

2. Vegetables (Chili, Tomato, Brinjal, Capsicum)

• Benefits: Improves flower retention; increases fruit set; ensures uniform, marketable fruits.

3. Fruits (Mango, Guava, Papaya, Citrus)

• Benefits: Reduces premature fruit drop; improves retention, fruit size, and quality; enhances total harvestable yield.

Recommended Application

Dosage:

• 1–2 ml per liter of water, depending on crop type and growth stage.

Timing:

• Apply during early flowering stage or initial fruit set stage.
• Repeat as necessary based on crop response and environmental conditions.

Method:

• Foliar spray with uniform coverage of flowers and young fruits.
• Apply in early morning or late evening to reduce evaporation and improve absorption.

Safety and Handling

• Store in a cool, dry, shaded area, away from sunlight and moisture.
• Wear protective gloves, clothing, and masks during handling and spraying.
• Avoid direct contact with skin and eyes; wash thoroughly if exposed.
• Keep out of reach of children, pets, and livestock.
• Observe pre-harvest intervals to ensure safe consumption.

Advantages for Farmers and the Agri-Input Sector

• Higher Yields: By reducing flower and fruit drop, Flower Fix directly contributes to increased harvestable yield.
• Better Crop Quality: Improved fruit set and retention enhance size, uniformity, and marketability of produce.
• Cost-Effective Crop Management: Optimizes plant energy allocation, reducing losses from premature abscission.
• Wide Crop Adaptability: Can be used in cotton, vegetables, and fruit crops, making it a versatile solution for input dealers and extension programs.
• Supports Sustainable Practices: Compatible with integrated crop management strategies to improve productivity while maintaining ecological balance.

Conclusion

HIFIELD Flower Fix (Alpha-Naphthyl Acetic Acid 4.5% SL) is a powerful, scientifically formulated PGR that helps farmers:

• Minimize flower and fruit drop for better yields
• Improve fruit set and retention, leading to higher productivity
• Enhance crop quality and marketable produce
• Efficiently allocate plant energy toward reproductive growth for optimized crop performance
