Triacontanol is a fatty alcohol that is present in the cuticle waxes of alfalfa plants. Triacontanol acts as a growth stimulant for many plants by encouraging more basal breaks along the stem, resulting in “bushier” plant growth. The effect of triacontanol is especially favourable for “branching-type” crops such as tomatoes, lettuce, cucumbers, kale, and flowering crops. In grain crops, triacontanol helps increase tillering which has been found to have a positive effect on both yield and protein levels.
Triacontanol enables plants to uptake water and nutrients more efficiently and improves growth, yield, photosynthesis, protein synthesis, nitrogen-fixing, and essential oil production. Triacontanol helps plants regulate transpiration, translocating sugars and other metabolites. Triacontanol increases a plant’s resilience to stress caused by temperature, moisture, and nutrient deficiency.
Triacontanol is a natural growth stimulant found in every pellet of Alfalfa Green!
