Short Stop - Plant Growth Regulator

A systemic plant growth regulator 

ShortStop Tree Growth Regulator can help increase the beauty and value of your trees and woody shrubs.

After an application of ShortStop, trees and woody shrubs appear healthier and the plants show increased vigor, improved nutrient absorption, appear greener, and have better pest resistance. ShortStop applications boost the growth of fine root hairs in trees and woody shrubs and facilitate trees and woody shrubs during drought stress, construction damage, poor soil conditions, and limited root space. It has been shown to reverse the decline in mature Oak trees and rejuvenate yellowing (chlorotic) Birch and Pin Oaks.

Short Stop slows the above ground vegetative growth by inhibiting gibberellin biosynthesis, for use on trees. Shortstop is most effective when applied to the soil near the base of the tree either by soil injection or with basal soil drench. Benefits of Shortstop applications include, redistributed energy-rather than expending energy on top growth, trees increase root production, reducing need for pruning and improving drought tolerance. Altered Leaf physiology changes can be expected, like thicker leaf cuticles, smaller stomata size, and increased leaf hairs help reduce water vaper loss in hot, dry weather and aids in surviving pest attacks. After an application there will be enhanced Root Hair Growth; strong roots mean strong trees. An enhanced root system optimizes translocation of water and nutrients found in the soil, reducing stress and the impact of construction damage. Reduced production of gibberellic Acid. Gibberellic acid is responsible for vegetative growth in plants. Reducing its production results in shorter length between internodes of branches and 80-95% less annual branch growth, meaning less frequent pruning and maintenance. Increased production of abscisic acid. Abscisic acid is an inhibitory plant hormone that reduces transpiration to prevent water loss and reduces enzyme production required for photosynthesis, aiding in drought stress management and top-growth production. Increased Production of Chlorophyll. Chlorophyll allows plants to absorb energy from sunlight and produces green leaves. Increased chlorophyll production results in greater energy optimization and attractive deep green foliage.

Benefits:

• Increase root production of trees & woody shrubs
• Increase fruit/nut production
• Increase chlorophyll production
• Greater energy optimization
• Deep green foliage
• Reduce need for pruning
• Improving drought tolerance
• Healthier plants showing increased vigor
• Improve nutrient absorption
• Better resistance stress & pest

Active Ingredient: Paclobutrazol - 23%

Examples of places where your trees and woody shrubs would benefit from a ShortStop Treatment:

• Crowded landscape areas
• New construction zones
• Near patios, fences, & pools
• Limited space plantings
• Hard to maintain areas
• Near sidewalks or electric lines
• Shaped or Pruned plantings
• Rooftop gardens
