Triacontanol is a long-chained aliphatic primary alcohol. It occurs naturally in some of the foods we eat and is one of several polycosanols associated with lowering cholesterol in humans. Not only is triacontanol good for you, research from around the world supports its many benefits to plants.
The table below was provided by a Chinese manufacturer of triacontanol.
The article, https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/17429145.2011.619281, “Triacontanol: a potent plant growth regulator in agriculture,” was published in the Journal of Plant Interactions, Vol. 7, No.2, June 2012, 129-142. The study cites 110 published studies concerning triacontanol. The following table is an excerpt.
Yields improvements of treated plants actually quantified in the article include 31% increase in fresh fruit of water chestnut, 12% to 31% increased yield of cotton, and 20% to 25% increase in biomass of common sage. The authors conclude by stating:
“The evidence is overwhelming that TRIA applied at nanomolar concentrations improves the plant growth and physiological activities in diverse groups of plants. Foliar application of TRIA has been proved to be a successful technique to improve the growth, yield, and quality of various crops, including vegetables, horticultural crops, and medicinal and aromatic plants. TRIA-mediated increase in dry matter leads to increased biosynthesis of secondary plant products as well, including essential oil and active constituents of medicinal and aromatic plants.”
If you want to know if triacontanol is right for your crop give Circadian Sunrise a try. It is triacontanol and more. It controls powdery mildew. It controls spider mites. It contains essential plant nutrients. It is affordably priced. It is safe for applicators and the environment when used as directed. It contains triacontanol naturally. When Circadian Sunrise is applied at its labelled rates for controlling powdery mildew the concentration of triacontanol is within the range of concentrations specified in the first table of this article. Circadian Sunrise even carries a 30-day satisfaction guarantee, so you have nothing to lose.
