Chlormequat chloride (SSC-720)

Reliable crop insurance against lodging

In intensive farming, where every ton of wheat or barley matters, preventing crop lodging is a top priority. The German plant growth regulator Chlormequat Chloride (CCC-720) from Sthefes is a classic tool for professional agronomists, allowing for physiological management of cereal development.

How does CCC-720 work?

The product inhibits gibberellin synthesis, leading to the shortening of stem internodes. The result is not just a shorter plant, but a robust crop with a well-developed root system and thickened straw walls. This not only prevents lodging during heavy rains or high winds but also facilitates harvesting by significantly reducing grain loss.

Key advantages and application details

• Targeted efficiency: Designed specifically for winter wheat, barley, rye, and oats.
• Quality control: The liquid formulation dissolves easily in tank mixes, ensuring uniform coverage of the crop.
• Flexible dosage: With a rate of 1.00 - 2.00 L/ha, it allows for customization based on soil fertility and the physiological state of the plants.
• Short harvest interval: The pre-harvest interval is just 1 day, giving agronomists maximum flexibility during critical growth stages.
