Piccolo 10 XC Gets California Registration

Fine Americas, Inc. recently announced the California registration of Piccolo10 XC plant growth regulator for use on a wide variety of ornamental plants. Featuring a 4.0% concentration of paclobutrazol, Piccolo 10 XC is 10 times stronger than standard 0.4% formulations of the popular plant growth regulator.

“Since it comes in a true solution instead of a suspension, Piccolo 10 XC overcomes the potential settling problems associated with older paclobutrazol products,” stated Fine Americas president Greg Johnson. “From a grower’s perspective, that means there is no need to shake the container prior to use in order to ensure uniform distribution of the active ingredient.”
