The best period is when the second shoot shoots out about 3-5 cm (when yellow turns green or before light green). According to the crown size, different varieties, and different soils, different amounts of paclobutrazol are used.

Generally speaking, the commodity amount of paclobutrazol is applied per square meter of crown of 6-9 g, the ditch or ring ditch is opened 30-40 cm within the drip line or 60-70 cm from the tree head, and covered with soil after watering. If the weather is dry, Cover soil after proper watering.

The application of paclobutrazol should not be too early or too late. The specific time is related to the variety. Too early will easily lead to short shoots and deformities; too late, the second shoots will be sent out before the third shoots have completely turned green. .

Generally, when the leaves turn green and are not mature enough, use paclobutrazol 15% wettable powder for the first time about 600 times, and gradually increase the amount of paclobutrazol 15% wettable powder for the second time.
