C15H20ClN3OForm White, crystalline solid.M.p. 165-166 ºCV.p. 0.001 mPa (20 ºC)KOWlogP = 3.2Henry 1.13 ´ 10-5Pa m3mol-1(calc.)S.g./density 1.22 g/mlSolubility In water 26 mg/l (20 ºC). In acetone 110, cyclohexanone 180, dichloromethane 100, hexane 10, xylene 60, methanol 150, propylene glycol 50 (all in g/l, 20 ºC).Stability Stable for more than 2 years at 20 ºC, and more than 6 months at 50 ºC. Stable to hydrolysis (pH 4-9), and not degraded by u.v. light (pH 7, 10 days).APPLICATIONSBiochemistry Inhibits gibberellin and sterol biosynthesis, and hence the rate of cell division.Mode of action Plant growth regulator taken up into the xylem through the leaves, stems, or roots, and translocated to growing sub-apical meristems. Produces more compact plants and enhances flowering and fruiting.Uses Used on fruit trees to inhibit vegetative growth and to improve fruit set; on pot-grown ornamentals and flower crops (e.g. chrysanthemums, begonias, freesias, poinsettias and bulbs) to inhibit growth; on rice to increase tillering, reduce lodging, and increase yield; on turf to retard growth; and on grass seed crops to reduce height and prevent lodging. To be applied as a foliar spray, as a soil drench, or by trunk injection. Has some fungicidal activity against mildew and rusts.
