A growth regulator used to shorten and stiffen the straw of cereal crops to improve the resistance to lodging.
This product can be picked up from your store or delivered to farm. Delivery time is estimated to be between 24 and 48 hours.
Benefits of Holdup™
- Reduces the risk of lodging in vigorous crops, particularly those targeting high grain yields with high nitrogen use, in susceptible cultivars and in situations where there’s a history of lodging.
- Early treatment provides greater protection against lodging, and later applications reduce yield loss caused by stem and neck breaking.
- Can be applied in tank mix with commonly used insecticides and fungicides.

Holdup is taken in through the stems and leaves of growing plants, where it is translocated within the plant.
Simply instead of allowing the cells to pide evenly vertically, it changes the cellular structure so the pide horizontally. This causes a shortening and thickening of the stems, resulting in a stronger, shorter and thicker plant stem.
Keep out of reach of children.
