Anmol Plant Growth Regulator (NAA 4.5% SL) – Stop Flower Drop & Boost Yields
Maximize your harvest with the trusted power of Alpha-Naphthyl Acetic Acid (NAA) by Insecticides (India) Ltd.
Anmol (NAA 4.5% SL) is a high-performance Plant Growth Regulator (PGR) designed to solve the biggest problem farmers face: the shedding of flowers, buds, and fruits before harvest. Manufactured by the renowned Insecticides (India) Ltd (IIL), Anmol works by mimicking natural plant hormones to strengthen the stem connection, ensuring your hard work results in a full harvest.
Note: Ensure you are buying the genuine "Anmol" from IIL (Insecticides India Ltd) for guaranteed quality and results, distinct from generic brands with similar names.
Why Choose Anmol PGR? Key Benefits
- ⏱️Prevents Crop Loss: Effectively stops "Square Drying" in Cotton and flower drop in vegetables, saving up to 20-30% of your potential yield.
- ?️Boosts Fruit Size: Promotes cell elongation, resulting in larger, heavier, and higher-quality fruits (especially in Mango and Grapes).
- ⏳High ROI: An affordable, high-leverage input (low cost per acre) that delivers significant returns on investment.
- ?️Stress Buffer: Helps crops retain fruit even during environmental stress like temperature spikes or mild drought.
- ?IIL Quality Assurance: Manufactured by a "Maharatna" company with ISO-certified quality, ensuring precise 4.5% concentration in every bottle.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Anmol functions by optimizing the hormonal balance within the plant, specifically preventing the formation of the "separation layer" (abscission layer) on stems.
[Image of plant abscission zone anatomy]- Mimics Auxin: Anmol acts like natural growth hormones, signaling the plant to keep the fruit attached.
- Blocks Ethylene: It suppresses the production of Ethylene, the "ripening and shedding" hormone that causes fruit drop.
- Strengthens Pedicels: It keeps the cell walls at the stem base intact, ensuring the fruit stays on the plant until harvest.
Note: In Pineapple, it works differently by inducing uniform flowering when applied to the central whorl.
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop | Target Issue(s) |
|---|---|
| Cotton | Square Drying, Boll Shedding, Flower Drop |
| Mango | Flower Drop, "May Drop", Malformation |
| Tomato & Chili | Flower Abortion, Poor Fruit Set |
Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Pump" carefully. PGRs require precision—do not overdose.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (ml / 15L Pump) | Dose (ml / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cotton | 4 - 5 ml | 40 - 50 ml | 0.3 ml | 15 - 20 |
| Tomato / Chili | 3 - 4 ml | 30 - 40 ml | 0.25 ml | 15 |
| Mango (Fruit Retain) | 4 - 5 ml | Varies by tree size | 0.3 ml | 20 |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Spray during the cooler parts of the day (early morning or late afternoon) to avoid rapid evaporation or leaf burn.
- Mixing: Always add Anmol to a small quantity of water first, mix well, and then add to the main tank.
- Coverage: Ensure uniform coverage of the foliage, but avoid "drenching" to the point of excessive runoff.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is Anmol the same as Planofix?
Yes, both contain the same active ingredient (NAA 4.5% SL). Anmol is manufactured by Insecticides (India) Ltd and is a high-quality, cost-effective alternative.
2. Can I use more than the recommended dose for better results?
NO. Overdosing NAA can cause leaves to curl, twist (epinasty), and may actually reduce yield. Always stick to the 4-5 ml per pump rule.
3. Can I mix Anmol with other pesticides?
Anmol is generally compatible with most insecticides and fungicides. However, never mix it with herbicides (weedicides) or highly alkaline substances (like Bordeaux mixture).
4. When should I spray for cotton?
The first spray should be given when square formation begins (45-50 days after sowing). A second spray can be given 15-20 days later during peak boll formation.
5. What is the shelf life of the product?
When stored in a cool, dry place in its original sealed container, Anmol has a shelf life of 2 years from the date of manufacture.
