A new Ascend® formulation for increased
shelf life and now available in bulk
A different formulation of Ascend® but the
same proven combination of plant growth
regulators
Ascend® SL (Soluble Liquid) plant growth regulator
contains the same optimal combination of three EPA
registered plant growth regulators that are in Ascend®,
resulting in vigorous early plant germination and
emergence, a robust root system, larger leaves and wider
stems – all giving you a significant jump on the growing
season. Ascend® SL plant growth regulator can be used
as a seed treatment, in furrow or as a foliar application.
Plant Growth Regulator Benefits
Cytokinin is a natural plant growth regulator that promotes
cell division and leaf expansion while slowing leaf aging.
Gibberellic acids are naturally occurring plant growth
regulators that stimulate cell division and elongation in
leaves and stems.
Indolebutyric acid is a plant growth regulator that
stimulates vigorous root formation and development, and
increases cell elongation.
New Formulation
Ascend® SL is a new formulation of Ascend® available in
bulk packaging for ease of use and less handling of smaller
2.5 gallon jugs. It also has an increased shelf life for reliable
product performance over a longer time decreasing concerns
of inventory management.
Application Rate and Timing
A typical foliar use rate is 3.4 ounces per acre for Ascend®
plant growth regulator in most crops. Use 4.7 to 6.3
ounces per acre for corn in furrow. Ascend® plant growth
regulator may be applied multiple times in most crops. Use
1.05 to 4.2 ounces per one hundred pounds of seed as a
seed treatment. See label for specific rates and timing for
each crop.
