APOGEE


Helps give you the perfect balance between canopy growth and fruit production in apples.

  • APOGEE® plant growth regulator is a unique production management tool for apple orchards that reduces vegetative growth allowing a balance between canopy development and fruit production.
  • In addition to reduction of vegetative growth, APOGEE will suppress fire blight (Erwinia Amylovora) infection, resulting in reduced incidence and severity of the disease on shoots and leaves.
  • APOGEE does not have direct antibiotic activity against the fire blight bacteria, but APOGEE can decrease host susceptibility.

How it works

  • APOGEE acts within apple trees to inhibit the biosynthesis of gibberellin, which is the natural plant hormone that regulates cell elongation.
  • Inhibition of gibberellin therefore reduces shoot growth. Vegetative growth suppression with APOGEE typically lasts 2-5 weeks per application during the current growing season.

When to apply

  • Make the first application of APOGEE when shoots have 2.5-7.5 cm of new shoot growth. Correct timing of application is critical to success.
  • Repeat applications as needed (up to a maximum of 4 applications per season) for control of vegetative growth and suppression of fire blight.

How much to apply

  • Apply APOGEE to actively growing trees with ground equipment using an air blast sprayer at rates and stages listed on label.
  • Rates will vary depending on tree size and vigour. In general, rates range from 810 - 1350 gram product per hectare.
