What Does CytoFlor™ Do?

CytoFlor can be used as part of a professional plant growth management program to influence several desirable ornamental characteristics.

Promotes Flowering

Applications made at the appropriate developmental stage can increase flowering and the number of flower buds on certain labeled ornamental crops.

Increases Lateral & Basal Branching

When applied during vegetative growth on appropriate crops, CytoFlor can stimulate lateral or basal branching. Increased branching can help produce fuller, more attractive plants.

Helps Create Compact Plants

CytoFlor applications on certain plants can reduce overall plant height while encouraging branching, helping growers produce a more compact and marketable plant form.

Ornamental Fruit Removal

CytoFlor is also labeled for removing undesired fruit from ornamental apple and pear trees under specified label conditions.
