Chlormequat chloride

Description:
Chlormequat chloride, with the CAS number 999-81-5, is a plant growth regulator primarily used in agriculture to control the growth of various crops. It functions by inhibiting gibberellin biosynthesis, which leads to reduced stem elongation and promotes shorter, sturdier plants. This characteristic is particularly beneficial in crops like cereals and ornamental plants, where excessive growth can lead to lodging or poor quality. Chlormequat chloride is typically applied as a foliar spray and is known for its effectiveness in enhancing crop yield and quality. The compound is a quaternary ammonium salt, which contributes to its solubility in water and ease of application. It is generally considered to have low toxicity to humans and animals when used according to recommended guidelines, although appropriate safety measures should always be observed during handling and application. Environmental persistence and potential effects on non-target organisms are also important considerations in its use, necessitating adherence to regulatory guidelines.
