Managing Crop Architecture with «Reggi»

In modern intensive farming, high nitrogen fertilization levels often lead to the critical risk of lodging. «Reggi», a plant growth regulator produced by ZAT Firma August (Vurnary, Russia), is a field-proven solution designed to manage stem architecture in cereals and rapeseed. By utilizing chlormequat chloride, this product acts as a potent anti-gibberellin agent, effectively controlling internode elongation.

Practical Scenarios for Field Application

• Straw Reinforcement: The primary goal of applying «Reggi» is to shorten the basal internodes. This redistribution of plant resources strengthens the lower part of the stem, allowing crops like winter wheat and barley to remain upright even under adverse weather conditions.
• Winter Crops Management: For maximum efficiency, «Reggi» is best applied at the beginning of the stem elongation phase. This timing allows for proactive management of stem height before the ears gain significant mass.
• Rapeseed Optimization: On rapeseed, the regulator helps balance vegetative and generative development, which is crucial for achieving uniform pod ripening.

«Reggi» is formulated as a water-soluble concentrate, ensuring quick preparation of the spray solution and excellent compatibility with standard tank mixes used in cereal production. Being a 3rd hazard class product, it requires standard safety protocols during handling, which is familiar territory for professional agronomists.

By incorporating «Reggi» into the crop protection strategy, producers can push for higher yields and apply necessary nitrogen without the fear of lodging—an event that typically leads to severe harvesting losses and diminished grain quality. It is a strategic tool for maintaining a vertical crop stand until the combine enters the field.
