Hitculan Plus (Triacontanol 0.05% GR) – Premium Plant Growth Regulator
Unlock the full genetic potential of your crops with HPM's advanced granular biostimulant.
Hitculan Plus is a specialized agricultural input designed to bridge the gap between expected and actual yields. Unlike standard fertilizers that only provide nutrients, Hitculan Plus uses Triacontanol to biologically stimulate the plant's metabolism. This granular formulation is easy to apply directly to the soil, targeting the roots to boost nutrient uptake, photosynthesis, and stress resistance from day one.
Perfect for farmers seeking a low-labor, high-impact solution to maximize harvest quality and quantity.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
-
⏱️
Rapid Metabolic Action: Instantly alters the plant's energy status, enhancing cell structure and speeding up biological processes for faster growth.
-
🛡️
Superior Stress Defense: Boosts antioxidant enzymes (SOD and POD) to protect crops against environmental threats like heat, drought, and salinity.
-
⏳
Sustained Release Formula: The granular matrix slowly releases the active ingredient into the soil, providing long-lasting support during critical early growth stages.
-
🌧️
Photosynthesis Booster: Increases chlorophyll content and improves cell membrane permeability, ensuring the plant creates and transports energy efficiently.
-
🌿
Root Architecture Expansion: Directly stimulates root tips to create a denser root network, maximizing the absorption of fertilizers and soil nutrients.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Hitculan Plus operates on a cellular level to optimize plant physiology. It does not just feed the plant; it signals the plant to grow smarter and stronger.
- Cell Division & Rooting: [Image of plant cell division mitosis] It stimulates rapid cell division in root apical meristems, creating a massive root surface area for better nutrient interception.
- Enzymatic Regulation: It increases the activity of vital enzymes like Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), which detoxifies the plant and reduces cell damage caused by stress.
- Nutrient Translocation: It improves cell membrane permeability, facilitating the rapid movement of sugars (photosynthates) and minerals from the roots to the grains and fruits.
This multi-faceted approach ensures that basal fertilizers (NPK) are utilized effectively rather than being wasted in the soil.
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop | Target Benefit / Response |
|---|---|
| Rice (Paddy) | Increases spikelets per panicle, improves head rice recovery, delays senescence. |
| Cotton | Reduces boll shedding, supports deep taproot systems, balances vegetative/reproductive growth. |
| Groundnut | Aids in pegging and pod filling, enhances calcium uptake, maximizes oil content. |
| Vegetables (Tomato/Chilli) | Reduces flower drop, promotes uniform ripening, increases fruit set and size. |
Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results. This is a soil-applied granular product.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (per Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rice / Paddy | 10 kg | N/A (Broadcast) | N/A | Safe |
| Cotton / Groundnut | 10 kg | N/A (Broadcast) | N/A | Safe |
| Vegetables | 10 kg | N/A (Broadcast) | N/A | Safe |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting. (N/A indicates soil application at sowing/planting is safe).
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply 2-3 days before sowing or transplanting. This "primes" the soil zone for the incoming roots. [Image of farmer broadcasting fertilizer in field]
- Mixing: To ensure uniform distribution of 10kg over an acre, mix the granules with sand, Urea, or DAP before broadcasting.
- Coverage: Broadcast evenly across the field and ensure it is incorporated into the soil where roots will develop.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How is the Granular (GR) form better than Liquid?
The granular form targets the roots directly (Rhizosphere) and offers a sustained release of the active ingredient, unlike liquids which are typically foliar sprays that may wash off or dry out quickly.
2. Can I mix Hitculan Plus with other fertilizers?
Yes, it is highly compatible with basal fertilizers like Urea and DAP. Mixing them can actually save you labor by reducing the number of field passes.
3. Is it safe for the environment?
Hitculan Plus has a low toxicity profile (Green/Blue label category) and has no reported side effects on crops when used at the recommended dosage.
4. What is the shelf life of this product?
Thanks to its stable granular matrix and the inclusion of wax ester stabilizers, Hitculan Plus boasts a long shelf life, retaining its efficacy over time.
5. Does it help in drought conditions?
Yes. By increasing the activity of antioxidant enzymes (SOD/POD), it helps crops withstand abiotic stresses like heat and drought better than untreated plants.
