GS-4 is a growth accelerator for use on trees. Application of TREEHANCE as a concentrated waterproof paste can rapidly increase growth of trees and enable the tree grower to bring the trees to market earlier. Promotion of rapid growth of the tree can also benefit the fruit grower as it can accelerate the growth of the tree and enable it to produce fruit much earlier.
Research has shown that application of a GA3 formulation to the apical meristem accelerates the rate of stem growth in length and thickness. Results have shown the positive effects of GA3 on plant and tree growth. Growers have experienced two to three year's growth in a single season of application.
