Canopy® is a reliable and flexible plant growth regulator for reduction of crop height, which can lead to lodging control and yield protection in winter wheat, winter and spring barley, winter and spring oats, winter rye and winter triticale
Canopy®
Canopy® is a reliable and flexible plant growth regulator for reduction of crop height, which can lead to lodging control and yield protection in winter wheat, winter and spring barley, winter and spring oats, winter rye and winter triticale
Benefits
- Chlormequat-free option for oats and spring barley
- Fast acting with residual activity and wide compatibility
- Safe and reliable activity from 5 degrees Celsius
- Thickens stems and the stem wall, helping to reduce brackling and stem lodging
- T0/T1 use improves rooting structure, enabling better nutrient scavenging and greater anchorage strength, helping to reduce root lodging
- T0/T1 use enhances survival of side tillers, increasing viable ears at harvest

Why Canopy?

Canopy® is a robust, dual-active cereal PGR, offering a safe and reliable, chlormequat-free option, with excellent application timing and rate flexibility.
Canopy® contains two complementary active ingredients, providing rapid onset of activity, even in cooler T0/T1 temperatures - with activity from as low as five degrees Celsius – as well as more consistent results.
Proven as an effective PGR, Canopy® reduces stem height and shortens internodes to improve lodging resistance.
Use of Canopy® at T0 or T1 increases stem wall thickness and stem diameter, to provide greater structural stability, in addition to increasing root plate spread for greater resistance to root lodging.
The T1 PGR of choice
Canopy® produces a shorter plant with thicker stems, making it an ideal PGR choice for the T1 timing, to help resist lodging.
A recent ADAS study found that Canopy® not only delivered the best reduction in crop height over time, it also produced the thickest stem diameter.

Benefits beyond height reduction
Canopy® is proven to increase root biomass, resulting in stronger and longer roots for greater anchorage, along with a higher proportion of fine roots, improving the crop's ability to extract water and nutrients from the soil.
Canopy® also increases stem dry matter and lignin content, giving plants a higher tensile strength, and enhances the survival of side tillers, increasing viable ears at harvest.
