MEKVALAN 750

Why professionals choose Mekvalan 750

Managing high-yield crops like winter wheat, barley, and oilseed rape requires precise control over plant architecture. Lodging is a nightmare for any farmer, leading to harvesting difficulties, lower grain quality, and increased susceptibility to fungal diseases. Mekvalan 750, manufactured by Nufarm GmbH & Co KG (Austria), serves as a robust tool to fortify stems and ensure crops stand tall until harvest.

The Science of Plant Growth Regulation

The active ingredient, Mepiquat-chloride, functions by inhibiting gibberellin biosynthesis. Instead of encouraging excessive vertical growth, the plant focuses its energy on thickening the cell walls and strengthening the lower internodes. The result is a sturdier plant structure capable of withstanding heavy winds and rain.

• For Cereals: The product effectively prevents lodging in wheat and barley, creating an even crop canopy. This uniformity significantly improves harvesting speed and ensures minimal grain loss in the field.
• For Winter Oilseed Rape: Autumn application encourages a compact growth habit with a lower growing point, drastically increasing the plant's winter hardiness and frost resistance.

Field Application Tips

Mekvalan 750 is formulated as a convenient water-based solution, easy to mix and apply. The recommended dosage ranges from 0.5 to 1.5 liters per hectare, depending on the crop's development stage and intended goals. Since it is designed for a single application per season, timing is crucial; the treatment should be performed during the active vegetative growth phase to maximize the physiological response.

As a Class 3 hazard level product, it requires standard protective measures during mixing and spraying. By choosing this Austrian-made regulator, farmers shift from reactive farming to a proactive, manageable strategy. Mekvalan 750 transforms aggressive vegetative growth into structural efficiency, ensuring that your investment in inputs translates directly into a higher, cleaner, and more profitable yield.
