Key benefits
- Outstanding Fruit Setting & Prevention of Abscission BNOA acts as a powerful auxin-mimic regulator that effectively stimulates fruit set and prevents the premature drop of flowers and fruits. It ensures a higher harvest density, especially under adverse weather conditions.
- Stimulates Rapid Fruit Enlargement By accelerating cell division and elongation, BNOA promotes uniform fruit expansion and development. It is highly valued by global formulators for boosting the sizing of high-value crops like berries, citrus, and fruiting vegetables.
- Induction of Parthenocarpy / Seedless Fruit It effectively induces parthenocarpy in specific crops (such as tomatoes and grapes), enabling the production of premium-quality, seedless fruits that command higher prices in commercial markets.
- Synergistic Flexibility for Formulators As a highly stable active ingredient, our BNOA is refined to offer exceptional solubility and compatibility. It serves as an ideal tank-mix or co-formulation partner with other plant growth regulators, biostimulants, or fertilizers.
Suggested dosage & application
For formulators
TC grade; formulate into SL/SP. BNOA 98% TC is insoluble in water but highly soluble in ethanol, acetone or DMF, and is formulated into AS (aqueous solution), SP (soluble powder) or EC. Ensure complete dissolution in the organic phase before adding surfactants or carriers to prevent precipitation. Every shipment includes a batch COA.
For direct field use
Foliar 20–100 g a.i./ha as a fine spray, depending on crop stage and target response (fruit set, enlargement, drop prevention).
