Apogee® plant growth regulator receives federal
Registration
The U.S. EPA granted federal registration
for Apogee® plant growth regulator on April 27, 2000. Apogee,
the latest product in the BASF product portfolio, is a unique
production management tool for apple orchards that reduces vegetative
growth, allowing a balance between canopy development and fruit
production. Benefits of this control include a reduced need to
prune, improved light penetration and improved color of red varieties.
Apogee is not yet labeled in CA and NY.
Time is for short for application in the
Mid-Atlantic region of the United States. It is critical that
Apogee be applied at the correct growth stage for best results
