Promalin 6P Brochure

Promalin is a plant growth regulator containing gibberellic acid and 6-benzyladenine used to improve fruit quality in apples and pears. It increases fruit size, improves shape and color, reduces russeting, and increases fruit set. The timing and number of applications depends on the desired effect, but it is generally applied multiple times from bloom through 40 days after bloom.

PLANT GROWTH REGULATOR

ADVANCED QUALITY MANAGEMENT FOR APPLES AND PEARS


Plant Growth Regulator:
ADVANCED POME FRUIT MANAGEMENT FOR
MAXIMUM FRUIT QUALITY

Promalin® is a mixture of two naturally occurring plant growth regulators:


gibberellic acid 4 and 7 (GA4+7), which cause cell enlargement and
elongation, and 6-benzyladenine (6-BA) which promotes cell division.

Promalin has a number of effects in apples, depending on when it is


applied. During bloom it improves fruit shape, making apples elongated or
“typy”, a desired quality in a number of varieties such as Red Delicious.
When applied from late bloom to 40 days after bloom, Promalin improves
fruit size in many varieties including Gala and Golden Delicious and fruit
finish (russet control). When used after frost events, Promalin can set fruit
that would otherwise fall off.
MAXIMIZE FLEXIBILITY,
MINIMIZE RISK
Promalin® is a plant growth regulator
(PGR) used on apples to improve fruit
size and shape (typiness) through elongation of fruit and
development of more prominent calyx lobes. Promalin reduces
fruit russet and increases fruit value. Promalin will also increase
fruit set of apples after frost and help to set fruit in pear varieties
that have low natural set.

PROMALIN BENEFITS
Apples
• Improves fruit shape
• Increase size
• Increase set after frost
• Reduces russet

Pears
• Improves fruit set
YOU CAN’T CONTROL EVERYTHING,
BUT YOU CAN CONTROL RUSSETING
By reducing russeting, the fruit looks more appealing and marketable. The application of Promalin also
helps to increase fruit size resulting in a greater ROI.

Electron Micrograph Images

Untreated Promalin® Untreated Promalin®

Promalin treated apples have a smooth fruit finish (no russet) whereas untreated apples are severely russeted.
The electron micrograph pictures show that the fruit skin of untreated apples has severely ruptured cuticle
exposing the epidermal cells to the air. The cuticle remains intact in Promalin treated fruit.
