Gibberellic acid 10% Tablet Plant Growth Retardant CAS 77-06-5

Description:

Gibberellic acid is a simple gibberellin, a pentacyclic diterpene acid promoting growth and elongation of cells. It affects decomposition of plants and helps plants grow if used in small amounts, but eventually plants develop tolerance to it[citation needed.

Applications:

Has a variety of applications, e.g. to improve fruit setting of clementines and pears (especially William pears); to loosen and elongate clusters and increase berry size in grapes; to control fruit maturity by delaying development of the yellow colour in lemons; to reduce rind stain and retard rind ageing in navel oranges; to counteract the effects of cherry yellows virus diseases in sour cherries; to produce uniform seedling growth in rice; to promote elongation of winter celery crop; to induce uniform bolting and increase seed production in lettuce for seed; to break dormancy and stimulate

sprouting in seed potatoes; to extend the picking season by hastening maturity in artichokes; to increase the yield in forced rhubarb; to increase the malting quality of barley; to produce brighter-coloured, firmer fruit, and to increase the size of sweet cherries; to increase yields and aid harvesting of hops; to reduce internal browning and increase yields of Italian prunes; to increase fruit set and yields of tangelos and tangerines; to improve fruit setting in blueberries; to advance flowering and increase the yield of strawberries; and also a variety of applications on ornamentals. Application rates up to 80 g/a per application, depending on desired effect.

Common Name:	gibberellic acid
Chemical Name:	1a,2b,4aa,4bb,10b)-2, ,7-trihydroxy-1-methyl-8-methylenegibb-3-ene-1,10-dicarboxylic acid 1, 4a-lactone
Pesticide Category:	Plant growth regulator
CAS No:	77-06-5.
Molecular Formula:	C19H22O6
Structural Formula:
Properties	Mol. wt. 346.4 M.f. C19H22O6 Form Crystalline solid. M.p. 223-225 ºC (ATXht98140 decomp.ATXht0 ) Solubility In water 5 g/l (room temperature). Soluble in methanol, ethanol, acetone, and aqueous alkalis; slightly soluble in diethyl ether and ethyl acetate. Insoluble in chloroform. Potassium, sodium, and ammonium salts: Readily soluble in water (potassium salt 50 g/l). Stability Dry gibberellic acid is stable at room temperature, but slowly undergoes hydrolysis in aqueous or aqueous-alcoholic solutions,  DT50 (20 ºC) c. 14 d ( pH 3-4), 14 d ( pH 7). In alkalis, undergoes a rearrangement to less biologically-active compounds. Decomposed by heat.
Mode of Action:	Acts as a plant growth regulator on account of its physiological and morphological effects in extremely low concentrations. Translocated. Generally affects only the plant parts above the soil surface.
Toxicity:	Oral Acute oral  LD50 for rats and mice >15 000 mg / kg . Skin and eye Acute percutaneous  LD50 for rats >2000 A mg /kg. Non-irritating to skin and eyes.
