The product, Maleic Hydrazide with CAS number 123 - 33 - 1, is a well - known plant growth regulator. It appears as a white to light - yellow crystalline powder. The molecular formula of Maleic Hydrazide is C₄H₄N₂O₂, and it has a molecular weight of approximately 112.09 g/mol. It has a melting point in the range of 296 - 298°C. This product is sparingly soluble in water, but it can dissolve in alkaline solutions, making it suitable for certain agricultural applications. In terms of purity, our factory - supplied Maleic Hydrazide can reach high levels, meeting the strict requirements of different industries.
Maleic Hydrazide is widely used in the agricultural and horticultural sectors. In agriculture, it is mainly used as a plant growth inhibitor. It can effectively suppress the sprouting of potatoes during storage, reducing the loss of nutrients and water in the tubers and extending their shelf - life. For onions and garlic, it can prevent premature sprouting, ensuring their quality and marketability. In the horticultural field, Maleic Hydrazide can be used to control the growth of turfgrass. By applying it to lawns, the frequency of mowing can be reduced, saving labor and resources. It can also be used to shape ornamental plants, making them more aesthetically pleasing.
When using Maleic Hydrazide, it is important to follow the correct procedures. First, prepare the solution. Dissolve the appropriate amount of Maleic Hydrazide in an alkaline solution according to the recommended concentration. The concentration may vary depending on the specific application and the type of plant. For potato storage, a common concentration is around 1000 - 2000 ppm. For turfgrass control, the concentration is usually in the range of 2000 - 4000 ppm.
Use a sprayer to evenly apply the solution to the target plants. Make sure to cover all parts of the plants, especially the areas where sprouting is likely to occur. It is best to apply the solution during the appropriate growth stage of the plants. For example, for potatoes, it is recommended to apply the solution 2 - 3 weeks before harvest. When applying to turfgrass, it is advisable to choose a time when the grass is actively growing but not under stress.
Case 1: Potato Storage
A large - scale potato farmer in Idaho, USA, was facing significant losses due to potato sprouting during storage. After using our Maleic Hydrazide, the farmer applied the product at a concentration of 1500 ppm, 2 weeks before harvest. The treated potatoes were stored in a warehouse for 6 months. At the end of the storage period, less than 5% of the potatoes showed signs of sprouting, while in the untreated control group, more than 30% of the potatoes had sprouted. This not only reduced the waste of potatoes but also increased the farmer's profit margin.
Case 2: Turfgrass Management
A golf course in Florida was looking for an effective way to reduce the mowing frequency of its fairways. They decided to use Maleic Hydrazide. By applying the product at a concentration of 3000 ppm during the peak growth season, the mowing frequency was reduced from once a week to once every two weeks. The turfgrass remained healthy and maintained good aesthetic quality, saving a significant amount of labor and equipment costs for the golf course management.
