Active hormonal composition and physiological action
Poshak Super contains Gibberellic Acid (GA3) at 0.45% SL (soluble liquid), a naturally occurring plant hormone that regulates fundamental developmental processes.
Upon foliar absorption, gibberellins accelerate cell division and longitudinal cell elongation, allowing stunted crops to overcome growth lag and develop robust foliage.
- Active chemical: Gibberellic Acid 0.45% SL.
- Hormonal function: Stimulates rapid cell elongation, internode expansion, and synthesis of hydrolytic enzymes.
- Chlorophyll enhancement: Promotes vegetative vigor, leaf expansion, and enhanced photosynthetic efficiency.
Target crops and optimal growth stage application
The formulation is utilized across a wide spectrum of field crops, pulses, vegetables, and commercial fruit orchards.
Timing the application to coincide with active vegetative growth or initial flower bud differentiation maximizes productive branching and fruit set.
- Vegetables (Chilli, Tomato, Brinjal): Applied during early branching and flowering to reduce flower drop and enhance fruit size.
- Cotton: Sprayed at square initiation and early boll formation to promote sympodial branch development.
- Paddy & Wheat: Sprayed at tillering and flag leaf stages to support productive tiller numbers and panicle length.
- Pulses: Enhances pod setting and grain weight in pigeon pea, chickpea, and blackgram.
Foliar spray dilution and compatibility guidelines
Apply Poshak Super as a fine foliar spray during early morning or late evening hours to allow complete leaf absorption without rapid sun evaporation.
Adhere strictly to label-specified concentrations, as excessive hormone concentrations can cause unnatural stem elongation or lodging.
- Spray volume: Ensure thorough canopy wetting using standard knapsack or battery sprayers.
- Dosage adherence: Follow container label dilution guidelines carefully; never overdose plant growth regulators.
- Tank mixing: Physically compatible with common water-soluble micronutrients and crop protection sprays; avoid mixing with strongly alkaline solutions.

Common questions
What is the active ingredient in Poshak Super?
Poshak Super contains Gibberellic Acid 0.45% SL, a potent plant growth regulator.
When should Poshak Super be sprayed on crops?
It is best sprayed during active vegetative growth and at the onset of flowering or fruit formation.
Does Poshak Super help prevent flower and fruit drop?
Yes, its gibberellic acid content strengthens pedicel attachment and stimulates cell division, significantly reducing flower and fruit drop.
