Star - Paclobutrazol 23% w/w (25% w/v) SC - HPM

HPM Star Paclobutrazol 23% SC Plant Growth Regulator

Systemic vegetative-growth management for mature mango orchards

HPM Star contains Paclobutrazol 23% w/w (25% w/v) SC. It is a systemic plant growth regulator intended for mango orchard management. Its role is to moderate vegetative shoot growth and support flowering management when it is used at the correct stage and dose stated on the current product label.

This is not HPM 7 Star. HPM Star does not contain thiamethoxam and is not an insecticide. It is not intended to control insects, diseases, or weeds.

Why Choose HPM Star?

• Verified identity: HPM lists Star as Paclobutrazol 23% w/w (25% w/v) SC.
• Systemic action: Paclobutrazol is taken up through roots and stem tissue and moved to growing tissues.
• Mango-focused use: The registered recommendation is organised by mature mango-tree age.
• 1-litre pack: The existing 1 L size is listed by HPM for this product.

Technical Specifications

How Paclobutrazol Works

Paclobutrazol inhibits gibberellin biosynthesis. After systemic uptake, it is translocated to growing tissues and reduces internode elongation in new shoots. This moderates tree vigour and supports flowering management in mature mango trees. No IRAC, FRAC, or HRAC resistance code applies because HPM Star is a plant growth regulator rather than an insecticide, fungicide, or herbicide.

Registered Use and Dose Check

Important: Do not convert the tree-age dose into a generic per-acre or per-litre rate. Online HPM and PPQS references show conflicting historic dose figures, so the current label supplied with the sealed pack must be treated as the controlling instruction.

Application Guidance

1. Confirm the mango tree’s age and read the complete current label before measuring the product.
2. Use only the label-stated quantity, dilution volume, timing, and soil-application method.
3. Measure accurately; do not estimate a dose from the bottle cap or copy a rate from another Paclobutrazol brand.
4. Observe all label precautions, weather restrictions, personal protective equipment, and re-entry instructions.

Do not apply HPM Star to crops or for purposes not specified on its current Indian label. Never describe or use it as an insecticide, fungicide, herbicide, tank-mix recommendation, or automatic companion treatment.
