Chaperone Plant Growth Regulator (Sodium Para-Nitro Phenolate 0.3% SL)
Unlock the true genetic potential of your crops with premium Japanese biotechnology.
Chaperone is a high-performance Plant Growth Regulator (PGR) brought to you by Insecticides (India) Ltd (IIL) in technical collaboration with OAT Agrio Co. Ltd., Japan. Unlike standard fertilizers that just provide nutrients, Chaperone acts as a metabolic activator. It energizes your plants to work harder, flow nutrients faster, and resist harsh weather conditions, ensuring that your hard work translates into a heavier, higher-quality harvest.
Best For: Farmers dealing with flower dropping, poor fruit set, heat stress, or stalled crop growth in Cotton, Rice, and Vegetables.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
-
⏱️
Instant Nutrient Delivery: Accelerates "Cytoplasmic Streaming," acting like a turbocharger for the plant's veins to move food and minerals rapidly from roots to fruits.
-
🛡️
Abiotic Stress Shield: Acts as an insurance policy for your crop, helping plants survive and recover quickly from drought, extreme heat, salinity, and transplant shock.
-
⏳
Stops Flower & Fruit Drop: Prevents the formation of the abscission layer (the separation zone), ensuring that flowers and young bolls/fruits stay attached to the plant.
-
🌧️
Rapid Rainfastness: The advanced Soluble Liquid (SL) formulation penetrates leaves quickly, ensuring effectiveness even if it rains shortly after spraying.
-
🌿
Japanese Quality Assurance: Manufactured using original OAT Agrio technology, ensuring high isomer purity and stable results unlike cheaper generic alternatives.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Chaperone works at the cellular level to optimize plant physiology. It does not force growth but enables the plant to function at 100% efficiency.
- Accelerates Cytoplasmic Streaming: It increases the speed at which the cell's internal fluid moves. This ensures sugars produced in leaves are transported rapidly to fruits and seeds for filling.
- Optimizes Hormonal Balance: It inhibits the destruction of natural Auxins (growth hormones) and stimulates Cytokinins, promoting cell elongation and keeping leaves green for longer.
- Boosts Reproductive Success: It improves pollen tube growth, which is critical for successful fertilization and fruit setting, especially under high-temperature stress.
Result: A healthier plant with more vigorous roots and higher retention of flowers and fruits.
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop | Target Benefit / Problem Solved |
|---|---|
| Cotton | Prevents square drying & boll shedding; Increases boll weight. |
| Rice (Paddy) | Increases effective tillers; Improves grain filling (reduces chaff). |
| Vegetables (Tomato/Chilli) | Improves fruit set; Reduces blossom end rot; Increases fruit size & color. |
Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results. Water volume may vary based on crop canopy, but the amount of Chaperone per acre should remain constant.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cotton | 250 ml | 200 L | 1.25 ml | - |
| Rice (Paddy) | 200 - 250 ml | 150 - 200 L | 1.0 - 1.25 ml | - |
| Vegetables (Tomato/Chilli) | 250 ml | 200 L | 1.25 ml | - |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting. Refer to the product leaflet for specific crop PHI details.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply at critical growth stages: Active Tillering (Rice), Square Formation (Cotton), or Flower Initiation (Vegetables). It is also excellent for recovery after heatwaves or pest attacks.
- Mixing: Chaperone is compatible with most insecticides and fungicides. Add Chaperone to the tank mix last to ensure stability.
- Coverage: Ensure full foliar coverage. The product works best when it covers both upper and lower leaf surfaces.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Do not spray against the wind.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is Chaperone a fertilizer?
No, it is a Biostimulant/PGR. While fertilizers provide food, Chaperone improves the plant's ability to eat and digest that food efficiently.
2. When is the best time to spray on Cotton?
The most critical time is during "Square Formation" (45-50 days after sowing) to prevent square drying, and again during early boll setting.
3. Can I mix Chaperone with other pesticides?
Yes, it is generally compatible with most liquid and powder insecticides and fungicides. However, avoid mixing with strong herbicides.
4. Will it help my crop during a drought?
Yes. Chaperone increases root development and helps maintain cell hydration, allowing the crop to tolerate water stress better than untreated plants.
5. What is the dose for a 15-liter tank?
If using the standard ratio, use approx. 20-25 ml per 15-liter tank. However, ensure you cover the required acreage (approx. 10 tanks per acre).
