- Mepiquat chloride is primarily used on cotton crops to inhibit excessive vegetative growth, promote earlier fruiting, and improve overall crop quality.
- By restricting plant growth and reducing the formation of excessive vegetative tissues, mepiquat chloride helps to channel more resources towards fiber production, resulting in improved fiber quality characteristics.
- By inhibiting excessive vegetative growth, mepiquat chloride redirects the plant's energy towards reproductive processes, such as flower production and boll development. This leads to earlier and more abundant fruiting, allowing for a longer period of fiber development and increased yield potential.
