Mepiquat chloride (aqueous solution) ke molaoli ea sebetsang hantle haholo o loketseng taolo e felletseng ea lik'hemik'hale tsa k'hothone; ka ts'ebeliso e lebisitsoeng, e ka bopa sebopeho se nepahetseng sa semela le ho nkela sebaka sa ho faola limela ka letsoho.
Liphello tsa bohlokoa tsa Mepiquat chloride ho laola kholo e feteletseng le ho faola limela:
E thibela kholo e feteletseng ea limela: Ka ho hatella gibberellin synthesis, e liehisa ho lelefatsa ha makala a maholo le a fruiting internodes le ho thibela ho mela ha makala a lateral le li-vegetative buds. Sena se fella ka limela tsa k'hothone tse khutšoane, tse tiileng le tse kopaneng, ho thibela mathata a amanang le li-canopies tse telele ho feta tekano, tse kholo le tse fokolang (joalo ka phallo e mpe ea moea le ho kenella ha leseli).
E nolofatsa ts'ebetso ea ho faola limela: Kopo e fokotsa kholo ea li-axillary bud ka 70%, e fokotsa haholo mosebetsi o hlokahalang bakeng sa ho ntša le ho poma ka letsoho, 'me e atleha ho kenya mesebetsi e meng ea matsoho sebakeng sa "chemical pruning".
E ntlafatsa sebopeho sa canopy: E ntlafatsa moea le ho kenella ha leseli likarolong tse ka tlase le tse bohareng tsa lebala la k'hothone, e matlafatsa ts'ebetso ea photosynthetic, e fokotsa ho bola le likokoanyana/mafu, 'me e theha maemo a matle bakeng sa ho tsepamisa mohopolo oa boll.
Mekhoa e khothalelitsoeng ea ho sebelisa Mepiquat chloride:
Latela molao-motheo oa "ts'ebetso e bobebe pele, ts'ebeliso e boima hamorao; litekanyo tse nyane, makhetlo a mangata": sebelisa ha bobebe nakong ea sethala ho khothaletsa kholo e matla; butle-butle eketsa litekanyetso nakong ea likhahla le lipalesa ho laola kholo e feteletseng; 'me u sebelise phekolo ea "chemical topping" ka mor'a matsatsi a 7-10 ka mor'a ho roala ka letsoho. Mokhoa ona o pharalletseng oa taolo ea lik'hemik'hale o fihlela sebopeho se nepahetseng sa semela ntle le tlhoko ea ho faola limela ka letsoho khafetsa.
