Prohydrojasmon (PDJ) is a highly bioactive derivative of jasmonic acid, an endogenous plant growth regulator.
- It induces the orderly synthesis of ethylene, promoting anthocyanin production and accelerating fruit coloration.
- Once absorbed by the plant, it metabolizes into jasmonic acid, aiding in growth promotion, stress resistance, and ripening.
Physical and Chemical Properties
- Appearance: Colorless to pale yellow oily liquid
- Solubility: Insoluble in water, soluble in organic solvents
- Stability: Stable at room temperature
Formulations of Prohydrojasmon
- 98% TC
- 10% SP
- 10% SL
Functions and Effects
- Enhances Fruit Coloring: Speeds up fruit coloration, promotes uniform coloring, improves quality, and shortens the ripening period.
- Improves Stress Resistance: Activates the plant’s defense system, enhancing resistance to diseases and abiotic stress such as drought, salinity, and low temperatures.
- Boosts Root Vitality: Strengthens root nutrient absorption capacity and increases chlorophyll content and nitrate reductase activity (NRA) in leaves.
- Promotes Nutrient Accumulation: Increases soluble sugar and protein content in fruits, contributing to dry matter accumulation.
- Prevents and Resists Diseases: Provides effective resistance against fungal, bacterial, and viral diseases.
Key Features of Prohydrojasmon
- Fast and Uniform Coloring: Promotes complete, natural fruit coloration without patchy coloring or regreening.
- Improved Quality: Increases the sugar-acid ratio, enhances fruit appearance, and boosts internal quality.
- Broad Application: Suitable for use during the crop’s growth stage for rooting and stress resistance, and during the fruit coloration stage for ripening.
- Disease Prevention: Protects fruits from fungal, bacterial, and viral diseases.
- Safe and Reliable: Does not harm young fruits, leaves, or affect fruit enlargement.
- Applicable to All Crops: Suitable for multi-harvest crops, without negatively impacting subsequent fruit growth.
Usage Instructions
- For Fruit Coloring
- Foliar Application: Dilute at a ratio of 1:200–1:1500 and spray evenly on the entire plant.
- Drip Irrigation: Apply 80–300 grams per acre.
- Timing: Use during the initial coloring stage (when coloration reaches 10%) and repeat after 7–14 days.
- For Stress Resistance
- Foliar Application: Dilute at a ratio of 1:1500–1:5000 and spray evenly on the entire plant.
- Drip Irrigation: Apply 30–100 grams per acre.
Application Guidelines
- Early Coloring Stage: When fruit coloration exceeds 10%–20%, apply the maximum concentration for foliar spraying or the highest dosage for drip irrigation. Repeat the application after one week to ensure complete coloration 7–10 days earlier.
- Late Coloring Stage: When fruit coloration exceeds 50%–60%, double the maximum concentration for foliar spraying or increase drip irrigation dosage to 1.5 times. This ensures complete coloration 7–10 days earlier.
