Paclobutrazol  chemical

CAS NO: 76738-62-0

FORMULA :C₁₅H₂₀ClN₃O

GENERAL DESCRIPTION & APPLICATIONS

Paclobutrazol is a triazole type plant growth retardant which blocks gibberellin biosynthesis and are involved in reducing abscisic acid, ethylene and indole-3-acetic acid while increasing cytokinin levels.

 It promotes fruit set in the states of inhibited development . 

It is also known that it protect plants against abiotic stresses. Uniconazol is another  triazole type plant growth retardant. Though each plant hormone evokes many different specific biochemical, physiological, or morphological responses, the effects of different hormones overlap and may be stimulatory or inhibitory to regulate plant development and growth. Paclobutrazol  it can be classified as the growth retardants, which can be sub-classified as gibberellin biosynthesis inhibitors or compounds which are not involved in inhibiting gibberellin biosynthesis. [abscisic acid, cimetacarb, daminozide, dikegulac, maleic hydrazide, mefluidide, and morphologically active substances (morphactins: chlorfluren, chlorflurenol, dichlorflurenol, flurenol)].

Benomyl  agrochemical

CAS #: 17804-35-2

Chemical class/use: benzimidazole fungicide      

Benomyl is a systemic, benzimidazole fungicide that is selectively toxic to microorganisms and to invertebrates, especially earthworms. It is used against a wide range of fungal diseases of field crops, fruits, nuts, ornamentals, mushrooms, and turf. The World Health Organization gives benomyl a Class 0 rating which means it is unlikely to present an acute hazard during normal use.
