Daminozide Dideu

DAMINOZIDE – Plant Growth Regulator | CAS 1596-84-5
Product Overview
Daminozide (CAS: 1596-84-5) is a highly effective plant growth regulator widely used in agriculture and horticulture to control plant growth, improve crop quality, and maximize yield. It functions by inhibiting gibberellin biosynthesis, a key hormone involved in plant stem elongation and development, thereby promoting more compact plant growth, enhancing flower formation, and improving fruit set.

CAS Number 1596-84-5
Molecular Formula C6H12N2O3
Molecular Weight 160.17 g/mol
MDL Number MFCD00002787
EINECS Number 216-485-9
HS Code 2934.99.9001 (varies by purity/formulation) or 29280000
Product Description
Daminozide is a synthetic hydrazide plant growth regulator that selectively inhibits 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase activity in the gibberellin biosynthesis pathway. By suppressing gibberellin production, it effectively reduces internode elongation and controls excessive vegetative growth while having no negative impact on leaf, flower, or fruit formation.

This product appears as a white to off-white crystalline solid or powder with a slight characteristic odor. It is soluble in water and organic solvents such as DMSO, with good formulation stability when stored properly.

Applications
Agriculture
Daminozide is widely used to improve fruit set, enhance color development, and prevent premature fruit drop, particularly in apples, peaches, cherries, pears, prunes, and grapes. It is also used as a pre-planting seed treatment for potatoes and other vegetables to inhibit sprouting, increase yield, and reduce the incidence of disease.

Horticulture & Ornamentals
Effectively controls the growth of ornamental plants including chrysanthemums, azaleas, bedding plants, hydrangeas, poinsettias, and foliage plants. Daminozide produces more compact plants with thicker leaves, deeper green coloration, extended flowering periods, and enhanced cold tolerance.

Plant Tissue Culture
Daminozide has been shown to enhance plant regeneration efficiency while reducing the occurrence of albino plantlets in tissue culture applications.

Key Benefits
Inhibits internode elongation and excessive shoot growth

Increases leaf thickness and chlorophyll content

Promotes root initiation and development

Enhances fruit set and prevents premature fruit drop

Extends flowering period
