THE EFFECTS OF PACLOBUTRAZOL:

One method to manipulate flowering is to use the plant growth regulator, paclobutrazol. The post- harvest application of a small amount of paclobutrazol to the soil significantly promotes flowering and fruiting in the
following year. Trials over the last two years have shown the following benefits from the treatment:

A significant increase in flowering leading to increased yields.
The early flowering considerably enhanced fruit maturity. Treated trees flowered three to four weeks early, which reduced the time to fruit maturity by at least two weeks.
Visually, the fruit developed a better external colour.

SOME IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS IN THE USE OF PACLOBUTRAZOL

How does paclobutrazol act?

Available evidence strongly suggests that flower initiation depends on the presence of an unknown flower-promoting factor or factors synthesised in the leaves. At the same time, there are other factors in the shoots which work against the flowering factor or factors. It is believed that a group of plant hormones called gibberellins act as inhibitors to flowering. When paclobutrazol is applied to the soil, it moves up through the roots into the shoots and, due to its anti-gibberellin properties, blocks the synthesis of flowering inhibitors, thereby allowing the flower-promoting factor(s) to work.
