Ceron® is a preparation for preventing plant lodging during ripening and growing season. The drug is developed on the basis of phosphoric acid derivatives.

Ceron® stimulates the growth of the root system and restrains the growth of the stem. The retarding effect occurs due to the accumulation of ethylene, which contributes to the shortening of the stem and the thickening of the second and third internodes, the straw walls, and the increase in the number of productive stems.

Mechanism of action:
Ceron® quickly penetrates the plant and accelerates the biosynthesis of ethylene in plant tissues. Ethylene, in turn, stimulates the synthesis of solid substances (lignin, cellulose). The dynamics of the accumulation of plant biomass, the ratio of straw and grain are changing in favor of the latter.

Application feature:
The rate of application depends on the phase of culture development. In the early stages, for example, at the beginning of tube feeding, the rate of use should be maximum, and in the later phases it should be reduced. The action of ethylene producers significantly depends on the air temperature. The temperature range should be from +15° to +30°C.

Selectivity:
Ceron® in the recommended rates of consumption is well received by all varieties of the specified crops.

Compatibility:
Ceron® can be mixed with many insecticides and systemic fungicides. An exception is preparations based on dithiocarbamates, sulfur and copper.

Application technique:
Fine-drop spraying with a rate of flow of working fluid of 100–400 l/ha is recommended for application by field units depending on its type: for example, suitable flat-jet nozzles, liquid pressure — 2.5–3 kg/cm2, movement speed of units — 6–7 km/h.

Advantages:
» Prevents culture from lying down.
» Contributes to increased productivity.
» Stimulates the growth of the root system.
» Provides favorable conditions forharvesting.
» Prevents the barley ear from breaking.

Application oncereals:

-Acceleration and equalization of ripening
-2.5–3.5 (yearly — 300–600 l/ha)
-1
-In the presence of 5–15% of mature and ripening fruits (green, brown and pink) and 50–65% of green formed fruits

Application on apple trees:
Culture Purpose Rate of consumption, l/ha** Terms of application
* An apple tree of the non-wall-growing type
- Regulation of ovary formation, stimulation of fruit bud formation -0.3–0.6 (800–1000)
-Spraying during the vegetation period 1.5–4 weeks after the end of flowering

* Apple tree of the trellis type of cultivation
-0.1–0.3 (800–1000)
* Apple tree of summer and autumn ripening periods
-Optimization and acceleration of fruit ripening and coloring*
-0.45–0.7 (at least 1500)
-Spraying during the vegetation period 2–3 weeks before the generally expected harvest time
* Apple tree of winter ripening period
-1.4 (at least 1500)

* To avoid premature fruit drop, it is recommended to use in a mixture with protective preparations, for example, derivatives of naphthylacetic acid. Harvesting is recommended two weeks after spraying.

** The maximum total seasonal rate of use on an apple tree is 1.4 l/ha.
