Uniconazole is a triazole chemical used as a plant growth retardant. It is active on a wide range of plants and works by inhibiting the production of gibberellins.[2]

Uses

Uniconazole is applied to plants to restrain their growth. It is often used on perennials to maintain a marketable size and/or delay flowering.[3] Leaves usually appear greener after application because uniconazole increases chlorophyll content.[2]

Commercial Products

The following commercial products contain uniconazole as an active ingredient:

Application Methods

Uniconazole products can be sprayed onto plant foliage or applied to soil as a drench.[3] When taken up by plant roots, uniconazole is translocated in the xylem. Concise and Sumagic have a restricted-entry interval of 12 hours.[5][4]
