Bayer Planofix is a plant growth regulator (PGR) containing Alpha-Naphthyl Acetic Acid (NAA) 4.5% SL (Soluble Liquid). It is a synthetic auxin analog that helps regulate plant physiological processes, most notably by preventing the premature shedding (abscission) of flowers, buds, and immature fruits, thereby boosting overall crop yield and harvest retention.
Key Product Features & Benefits
Prevents Flower and Fruit Drop: Effectively stops natural abscission layers from forming, helping plants retain blossoms and developing pods or fruits.
Improves Fruit Set: Encourages higher fruit setting rates, leading to increased final harvest volume.
Liquid Formulation: Water-soluble SL formulation mixes easily and distributes uniformly through standard agricultural sprayers.

Best Time to Spray
Growth Stage: Apply during the pre-flowering, peak flowering, and early fruit-setting stages. Avoid spraying when flowers are overly mature or just before harvest.
Weather Conditions: Spray during the early morning or late evening when ambient temperatures are cool and relative humidity is stable. Do not apply during heavy winds or if rain is forecasted shortly after spraying.
Safety Precautions
Personal Protection: Always wear rubber gloves, protective clothing, face masks, and eye protection while handling and spraying.
Handling Rules: Do not eat, drink, or smoke during application. Avoid direct skin contact and inhalation of spray mists.
Strict Dosage Adherence: Do not overdose. Over-application of plant growth regulators like NAA can cause opposite effects, such as flower distortion, leaf curling, or stunted plant growth.
Storage: Store securely in its original labeled container in a cool, dry place, completely out of reach of children, domestic animals, and food items.
