Disclaimer for PGR use:
Farmers/nursery growers needs to standardise the dosage of PGRs by conducting trials in their locations. Information shared by us is indicative in nature, dosage and application frequency may vary with the cultivars, crops and weather conditions. It is to be noted that many crops are not amenable to PGRs use.
