Gharda Chemicals Limited

We supply Mepiquat Chloride which is absorbed by the plant primarily through leaves and translocated throughout the plant. It reduces biosynthesis of gibberellic acid, and results in greener leaves. Mepiquat Chloride is used on cotton to reduce vegetative growth and to advance maturation of the bolls. It is also effective when used alongside ethephon to prevent lodging in cereal and flax.
