Benefits of Chlormequat

​Increases yield potential by increasing leaf area and reducing stem growth in cereal crops

Prevents apical dominance in cereals and ryegrass seed crops, improving uniformity, assisting tiller survival and increasing yield through more efficient nitrogen utilization

Reduces stem break and lodging in cereal crops

 
Ravensdown Chlormequat will reduce stem length, enhance leaf colour and increase leaf area. This will protect yield potential and offer benefits of increased nitrogen efficiency. Ravensdown Chlormequat can also be used to promote seed yield increases in ryegrass seed crops.
 
Ravensdown Chlormequat will also assist in a reduction of eyespot damage, but in areas where eyespot is and issue then a fungicide registered for eyespot control should still be applied.

Application rates and usage

Chlormequat Label
​​Agrochemicals - NZ

Application

Obtain uniform spray coverage using conventional ground boom sprayer and aerial equipment.
 

Mode of action

Ravensdown Chlormequat is absorbed by the leaves and acts on developing stem, shortening and thickening the internodes. Thereby reducing the risk of stem break and lodging of the crop. This will improve crop uniformity and development increasing the efficiency of nitrogen use and reduce eyespot susceptibility
 

Storage and handling

Keep out of reach of children

Store in accordance with NZS 8409 Management of Agrichemicals

Store in original container tightly closed in a locked, dry, cool, well ventilated area away from foodstuffs, fertilizers and seeds 

 
Please refer to the product label for product handling and storage details
 

Shelf life

When stored appropriately this product should show no significant degradation for two years from the date of manufacture. Please contact your Ravensdown Account Manager, or the Customer Centre on 0800 100 123, for further information about the use of any product that is older than this.

 

Mixing and compatability

Add the required amount of Ravensdown Chlormequat to clean water in a half filled spray tank. Start agitation and when thoroughly mixed add the remaining water. Continue agitation during spraying.
 
Ravensdown Chlormequat is compatible with most commonly used fungicides, insecticides and liquid nitrogen formulations. Mixtures with herbicides are not recommended. When mixing with foliar nutrients add Ravensdown Chlormequat to the tank first.
