About Tareef
Tareef (Gibberellic Acid 0.001% L) by Sumitomo Chemical India Ltd. is a modern organic plant growth regulator that combines Gibberellic Acid, seaweed extract, and micronutrients, used for encouraging and regulating plant growth in all recommended crops. It effectively acts synergistically with plant metabolism to accelerate the plant's growth functions, improving physiological efficiency by stimulating hormonal and enzymatic activity. By ensuring excellent crop stand and canopy development and optimum nutrient utilization, Tareef enhances stress tolerance and improves flowering and flower retention, resulting in better quality and higher yield. It is applied via foliar spray in recommended field and horticultural crops.

Mode of Action: Gibberellic Acid acts synergistically with plant metabolism to accelerate growth functions, while hydrolyzed protein, seaweed (brown algae) extract, and chelated micronutrients (iron, manganese, zinc, and magnesium sulphates) stimulate hormonal and enzymatic activity in the plant. Together, this improves the plant's physiological efficiency, nutrient availability, and stress tolerance, increasing both the yield and quality of the crop produce.
Time of Application: Crop and stage specific
