Mepiquat chloride（Cat No.:R069497）is a plant growth regulator widely used in agriculture to control vegetative growth and enhance crop productivity. Chemically classified as a quaternary ammonium compound, it functions by inhibiting gibberellin biosynthesis, leading to reduced cell elongation and more compact, robust plant structures. It is especially effective in cotton, where it promotes earlier flowering, boll retention, and improved harvest uniformity. Mepiquat chloride is water-soluble and typically applied as a foliar spray. Its use contributes to better resource allocation within the plant, enhancing stress resistance and yield under various environmental conditions.
