Terpal is a growth regulator which shortens and stiffens the straw of barley, winter wheat, triticale and winter rye by reducing the length of internodes. Terpal will prevent or suppress early lodging during the vital crop heading stage and thus allow optimum fertiliser use for production of maximum yields in intensive growing systems.

Benefits
- Increases resistance to stem lodging by one point and resistance to root lodging by almost two points (Source: ADAS)
- The best product to reduce brackling in barley
- Co-formulation of mepiquat chloride and 2-chloroethylphosphonic acid in an SL formulation

Why Terpal?
Terpal® is a soluble concentrate containing two active ingredients - mepiquat chloride and 2-chloroethylphosphonic acid. The growth regulator can be used to protect yield quality in winter wheat, spring and winter barley, triticale and winter rye. Particularly in barley, Terpal® reduces brackling, which is key to protecting yield, quality and enhances harvest efficiency.
A major benefit of Terpal® is even crop quality, achieved by balancing main and side tiller height and preventing lodging. Terpal® improves ease of harvesting and maintains grain quality. In addition, Terpal® counteracts crop stress from ethylene production; this is a problem with straight 2-chloroethylphosphonic acid (ethephon) which can impact yield.
