Safex Boost is a systemic Plant Growth Regulator (PGR) containing Paclobutrazol 23% w/w SC. It is especially useful in mango cultivation for managing excessive vegetative growth and encouraging the plant to direct more energy towards flowering and fruit development.
Paclobutrazol works by inhibiting gibberellin biosynthesis in the plant. This helps reduce excessive shoot elongation and internode length while supporting terminal bud formation, flowering and balanced reproductive growth.
Supports Flower Induction: Helps create a better balance between vegetative and reproductive growth in mango trees.
Reduces Internode Length: Helps manage tree vigour by reducing the length of newly developing shoots.
Supports Terminal Bud Formation: Encourages earlier formation of terminal buds under appropriate crop conditions.
Improves Reproductive Growth: Helps redirect plant resources towards flowering and fruit development.
Supports Fruit Quality: Proper use can favourably influence fruit development, colour and overall harvest quality.
Systemic Action: The active ingredient is absorbed through roots or plant tissues and transported to its site of action.
How Safex Boost Works
Paclobutrazol inhibits the biosynthesis of gibberellins, plant hormones responsible for shoot elongation and vegetative growth. By reducing gibberellin activity, excessive vegetative growth is controlled and the plant can maintain a better balance between shoot growth, flowering and fruit production.
Recommended Crop
Mango: Safex Boost is particularly used for regulating vegetative growth in established mango trees and supporting better flowering and fruiting behaviour.
Recommended Dosage for Mango
Age of Mango Tree
Paclobutrazol 23% SC Dose
7 to 15 Years
15 ml per tree
16 to 25 Years
20 ml per tree
Above 25 Years

Important: Dosage can vary depending on crop condition, tree age, local recommendations and the approved product label. Always follow the dosage and directions printed on the original product label/leaflet.
Method of Application
Shake the bottle thoroughly before use.
Measure the required quantity according to the age of the mango tree.
Dilute the recommended quantity in approximately 5 to 10 litres of clean water.
Apply the solution to the soil around the tree using the soil drench or collar drench method.
For furrow application, prepare a shallow furrow around the tree as directed on the approved label, apply the solution evenly and cover it with soil.
Best Time of Application
For mango, Paclobutrazol 23% SC is generally applied after harvesting the fruits. The registered recommendation indicates that application between July and October can be suitable, depending on crop conditions and local agricultural recommendations.
