24-epibrassinolide
Last updated: 25/01/2024
(Also known as: epibrassinolide)

SUMMARY
24-epibrassinolide is a plant hormone. It has a low aqueous solubility but is more soluble in organic solvents. It has a low volatility tends to be moderately persistent in soil systems. It may be more persistent in water depending upon conditions. 24-epibrassinolide is moderately toxic to most aquatic species. This substance has a low oral mammalian toxicity.
Data alerts

GENERAL INFORMATION
Description
An activator that enhances the plants ability to protect against abiotic stresses and to improve plant health. Although it is effective against some fungal infections it has no direct fungicidal or antagonistic effects.
Example pests controlled
Grey mould; Downy mildew; Bottom rot; Leaf spot; Salt stress
Example applications
Wine and table grapes; Leafy vegetables e.g. endive, chicory, spinach; Pumpkin; Lettuce; Cucumber; Sugarbeet
Efficacy & activity
Effectiveness demonstrated in plant trials. Disease severity and incidence tend to be reduced rather than cured.
