Trade4go Summary
Ukraine is seeing increased use of growth regulators in sunflower cultivation due to climate changes and advanced cultivation technology. The most common growth regulator is ethephon, which is used from the VVSN 18 phase to the VVSN 51 phase. It enhances the plant's root system and stem, lowers height, and enhances crop fullness. Ethephon is preferred over Trinexapac-ethyl by Oleksandr Myglovets, the head of the Ukravit agrotechnology department, due to its demonstrated effectiveness in sunflower plants.

As a result of significant climate changes throughout Ukraine and optimization of sunflower cultivation technology, the use of growth regulators is becoming increasingly important. These drugs allow you to adapt the physiological and biological properties of the plant organism to specific growing conditions. Oleksandr Myglovets, head of the Ukravit agrotechnology department, told this in the blog “Protection and cultivation of sunflowers in new conditions: weather and economy dictate the rules” on SuperAgronom.com. In Ukraine, sunflower growth regulation, notes Oleksandr Myglovets, is a relatively new technological solution. But it is gradually becoming widespread in different regions. “The most widely used products for sunflower growth regulation in Ukraine are products based on the active ingredient ethephon (in our portfolio, this is the Brilon growth regulator). Ethephon is used on sunflowers from the VVSN 18 phase and maximally up to the VVSN 51 phase. This active ...
