Helps give you the perfect balance between canopy growth and fruit production in apples.
- Apogee plant growth regulator is a unique production management tool for apple orchards that reduces vegetative growth allowing a balance between canopy development and fruit production.
- In addition to reduction of vegetative growth, Apogee will suppress fire blight (Erwinia Amylovora) infection, resulting in reduced incidence and severity of the disease on shoots and leaves.
- Apogee does not have direct antibiotic activity against the fire blight bacteria, but Apogee can decrease host susceptibility.

How it Works
- Apogee acts within apple trees to inhibit the biosynthesis of gibberellin, which is the natural plant hormone that regulates cell elongation.
- Inhibition of gibberellin therefore reduces shoot growth. Vegetative growth suppression with Apogee typically lasts 2 - 5 weeks per application during the current growing season.
When to Apply
- Make the first application of Apogee when shoots have 2.5 - 7.5 cm of new shoot growth. Correct timing of application is critical to success.
- Repeat applications as needed (up to a maximum of 4 applications per season) for control of vegetative growth and suppression of fire blight.
How Much to Apply
- Apply Apogee to actively growing trees with ground equipment using an air blast sprayer at rates and stages listed on label.
- Rates will vary depending on tree size and vigour. In general, rates range from 810 - 1350 gram product per hectare.
