  • Graze 3-4 weeks after application

  • For best results apply with Liquid N

  • Use with EnergHi to get up to another 15% boost

  • Application Rate: 9 grams per/Ha

  • Must be used with Surfactant for best results

Gibberellic acid Gibboost (GA3) is a natural hormone that promotes plant growth. When you use Gibboost on pasture, it can increase growth, leading to more leaves and stems. This is especially useful during times when you expect less pasture growth or wanting to bring growth forward. After applying GA3, you'll notice taller and slimmer leaves, sometimes a bit yellowed. To get the most out of Gibboost, you should apply it within 5 days after grazing or when there is adequate green leaf present for uptake and then graze again 3-4 weeks later, we recommend always using Gibboost with some form of nitrogen to reduce and or stop any post lag in the next grazing cycle.

The application of Gibboost can be used as a tool to manipulate pasture growth and assist in matching feed supply with animal demand in the shoulders of the season when anticipated pasture growth is low. Responses are best when soil moisture and nutrients are not limited.

Recommendations are to apply 9g of Gibboost/ha plus surfactant at label rates in 100-200 L water/ha. This can be applied with most conventional boom spraying equipment.

Gibboost can be tank mixed with dissolved urea without affecting its stability, provided all solutions are used on the day of preparation Do not store mixed product.

Do not spray if raining or rain is likely within 2 hours of spraying to ensure effective absorption onto leaf surfaces.

At recommended application rates 9g/Ha, initial D/M responses can range from 200-500 kg DM/ha around four weeks after application.

Say the products costs you $9/Ha incl the cost of surfactant and you get 300 kg DM/ha this is a cost of approx 3c/kg DM, plus any application costs, if you combine Gibboost with N both can be applied in the one application cost.
