For optimal results, Adjust SL requires two hours before rain or frost occurs. After absorption, it immediately begins to affect the gibberellin synthesis process. Under cool conditions, it will remain active in the plant until warmer conditions begin to promote stem elongation. Under persistent cool growing conditions, it may take longer to see the growth effect.

Adjust SL is formulated to work effectively at temperatures as low as 34°F. Chlormequat chloride (CCC) has a slow onset of actions, allowing the manipulation of rooting and tillering, which are largely determined during cool, early growth periods.

The Adjust SL formulation is based on CCC, which has a slow onset of action and long residual activity to work gradually in the plant. Learn more about the working mechanisms of plant growth regulators here.

Adjust SL ensures all other agricultural inputs and nutrient investments are protected and perform at full potential to grow healthy, high-yielding crops. It allows for use of fertilizers with reduced risk of lodging. CCC, the active ingredient of Adjust SL, increases the chlorophyll formation and can result in more productive heads per acre for a greater crop yield. Learn more about yield maximization through plant growth regulators here.

Upright straw is harvestable straw. Although Adjust SL can reduce plant height, the quality and standability would result in higher straw yield.

Adjust SL allows you to apply the maximum efficient nitrogen level while reducing the risk of excessive growth, which results in lodging and the associated costs.

The split application of Adjust SL gives growers the option to spray at reduced rates and decide later whether another application is needed. In a dry season, even applying at a reduced rate helps growers protect their crop input investments and yield potential. Also, benefits such as height reduction, head uniformity and improved pollination can be observed. Learn more about the benefits of Adjust SL in varying conditions here.

If the season is wet early on, soil tends to be less compact and the risk of root lodging arises. In these circumstances, apply Adjust SL in growth stages Feekes 1‒5 (Zadoks 12‒30) at a full or reduced rate. If the season is wet later, stem lodging might become a risk. In that case, apply Adjust SL in growth stages Feekes 6‒9 (Zadoks 31‒39). Learn more about the benefits of Adjust SL in varying conditions here.

If you have an early planted forward crop with a lot of growth potential, stem lodging could be a risk. Use Adjust SL in growth stages Feekes 6‒9 (Zadoks 31‒39) to protect the high yield potential and your other agricultural input investments. Learn more about the benefits of Adjust SL in varying conditions here.

If you have a backward crop and aim to maximize yields, you want to maximize tillers. Applying Adjust SL prior to stem extension (before Feekes 4) can reduce apical dominance and enhance tiller survival. Use Adjust SL in growth stages Feekes 1‒5 (Zadoks 12‒30) at a reduced rate and apply a second dose, depending on growth conditions, in growth stages Feekes 6‒9 (Zadoks 31-39). Learn more about the benefits of Adjust SL in varying conditions here.

Root lodging occurs when plant leverage is greater than its anchorage strength. Anchorage strength refers to how strongly a crop is anchored in the soil. Anchorage strength depends on spread and depth of the roots. Learn how Adjust SL can help manage rooting here.

Stem lodging occurs when the stems bend near ground level, making them difficult to harvest and significantly reducing grain quality and yield. Stem lodging can happen because of various factors, including:

  • Heavy grain fill close to harvest that the stem can’t carry well
  • Unfavorable weather conditions such as rain and wind
  • Stem weakness due to overseeding or heavy nitrogen levels
  • A crop variety prone to lodging

Learn about the risks and costs associated with lodging here.

Lodged crops equal greater costs. Lower return on investment from overall agricultural inputs, decreased yield potential, decreased output quality and reduced harvest efficiency are some of many risks and costs associated with lodging. Learn how Adjust SL can help control the risk of lodging here.

Even in the absence of lodging, plant growth regulators can help maximize plant yield and harvest efficiencies compared to untreated crops. Due to the upright nature of the crop, pollination is optimized and improved airflow reduces the crop exposure to fungal diseases.
