Chlormequat

Crop Stability Against Lodging

«Chlomekvid» by Nertus is a specialized plant growth regulator designed to shift plant energy from stem elongation to root system development and straw strengthening. Based on chlormequat-chloride, it serves as a classic anti-lodging agent for cereal crops and winter oilseed rape.

Why agronomists choose this product

The primary advantage of «Chlomekvid» lies in its ability to inhibit internode elongation during critical growth stages. This is essential for high-yielding varieties of wheat, rye, and barley, which are prone to lodging under intense nitrogen fertilization. By shortening the lower internodes, the preparation makes the stem more rigid and resilient against wind and heavy rain.

Key strengths and practical advantages

• Comprehensive Action: Stimulates secondary root system development, which significantly improves the crop's drought tolerance.
• Ease of Use: The product is formulated as an aqueous solution, ensuring quick preparation of the tank mix and good compatibility with most fungicides and herbicides (subject to a compatibility test).
• Versatility: It shows high efficiency across a wide range of crops, including winter wheat, rye, barley, and winter oilseed rape.

Who is this solution for?

«Chlomekvid» is an optimal choice for farms utilizing intensive grain production technologies. When working with high nitrogen rates, using a growth regulator becomes a necessary insurance tool to protect potential yields from loss due to lodging.

Classified as a hazard class 3 substance, it requires standard safety precautions during handling. Its effectiveness directly depends on the crop's growth stage; strictly following the application guidelines is crucial to achieve maximum straw shortening without hindering overall head development.
