Imtrade’s proven Conjurer 750 WG Plant Growth Regulator significantly enhances the productivity and profitability of fruit tree crops.

At the same time, the unique high-loading granular formulation increases product stability and shelf-life and reduces transportation and storage costs.

Ben Carville, Queensland sales representative for Imtrade, says Conjurer contains 750 g/kg of paclobutrazol, which is advantageous for fruit tree crops, as it significantly inhibits Gibberellin production.

“This reduces vegetative and canopy growth. As a result, the tree redirects nutrients and carbohydrates to focus on fruit production, leading to a higher yield and increased fruit size. Reducing vegetative growth also allows easier tree management, less pruning, and easier spraying.

“If you want to improve your mango harvest, consider using Conjurer. It is designed to increase early flowering, resulting in earlier fruit production and a more uniform flowering period. To achieve optimal results, apply the product as a soil drench after harvesting.”

Conjurer is also a popular choice for avocado growers, but the application process differs. “In avocados, it’s best to apply the product during the flowering stage, helping to increase fruit size and encourage the tree to enter the reproductive stage (fruiting) instead of vegetative growth,” Mr Carville said.

One characteristic that sets Conjurer apart from many other paclobutrazol products marketed is its foliar registration for avocados.

“While soil drenching may be effective for mangoes, it can impede avocado root growth, resulting in a smaller root system, and heighten the risk of phytophthora. However, the foliar application of Conjurer has no adverse effects on root growth.

“So whether you’re harvesting mangoes or avocados, Conjurer 750 WG Plant Growth Regulator can help you achieve the best possible outcomes.”

Mr Carville said Imtrade CropScience continues to push boundaries with its flourishing research and development portfolio and range of market-leading products.

“For insect control in avocados, Tyranex 500 VeripHy SL Insecticide and Cyborg Plus 100 EC Insecticide are both highly effective options. For mangoes, Patriarch RMR Insecticide is an excellent solution specifically designed to target mango scale and pink wax scale.”
