Plant growth regulator
TEKOR
Foliar plant growth regulator combining GA3 and BNOA to support fruit set, sizing, ripening and more uniform fruit development.
TEKOR is a liquid plant growth regulator combining gibberellic acid GA3 with the synthetic auxin naphthoxyacetic acid (BNOA).
The datasheet presents uses for fruit set, fruit development, sizing, early ripening and reduction of hollow or misshapen fruits in several fruit and vegetable crops.

Key benefits and agronomic effects
- Advances ripening.
- Promotes fruit set and subsequent fruit development.
- Increases final fruit size.
- Helps reduce hollow or misshapen fruits and supports more uniform quality.
How it works / Technical advantages
The datasheet describes TEKOR as an association of a gibberellin and a synthetic auxin, with target uses in table grapes, citrus, tomato, pepper and strawberry where fruit set and sizing are desired.
Application rates and timing
Application Guidance: Follow the crop-specific dose, BBCH timing, maximum number of applications, broth volume and PS information provided in the datasheet.
Foliar application
| Crops | Timing | Dose | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aubergine and tomato | Outdoors and in greenhouses from first flowers (BBCH 60) until 9 or more flowers are open (BBCH 69); treat only flower clusters; maximum 2 applications per season at 10-day intervals. | 0.0201-0.09 L/ha | Objectives: advance ripening, increase fruit set and production, homogenize fruit size. Broth volume 67-180 L/ha. PS: 5 days outdoors / 1 day greenhouse. |
| Citrus | Up to 4 applications per campaign: flowering (BBCH 60-69), fruit at 40% final size (BBCH 74), fruit at 90% final size to start of color change (BBCH 79-81), and ripe fruit (BBCH 83-89); minimum interval 60 days. | 50-100 cc/hL | Objectives: increase fruit set and weight, inhibit fruit drop. Broth volume 2,000-3,600 L/ha. PS: 5 days. |
| Strawberry | Outdoors and in greenhouses from green bud (BBCH 60) to wilted flowers (BBCH 69); maximum 3 applications at 10-day intervals. | 0.24-0.6 L/ha | Objectives: advance ripening, increase fruit set and production. Broth volume 600-1,000 L/ha. PS: 5 days outdoors / 1 day greenhouse. |
| Pear | Outdoors from beginning of flowering (BBCH 60) to end of flowering according to variety (BBCH 69); maximum 1 application. | 0.0075-0.125 (75-125 cc/hL) | Objectives: increase fruit set and weight. Broth volume 800-1,250 L/ha. PS: NA in datasheet. |
| Watermelon | Outdoors from appearance of first flowers (BBCH 60) until 9 or more flowers are open on the main stem (BBCH 69); maximum 2 applications per campaign. | 0.06-0.5 L/ha | Objectives: advance ripening, increase fruit set and production, homogenize fruit size. Broth volume and PS: NA in datasheet. |
Additional technical information
Target problem / deficiency symptoms
Crop-development objectives documented in the datasheet include poor fruit set, premature fruit drop, fruit sizing, malformation and non-uniform fruit development.
Frequently asked questions
What is TEKOR?
TEKOR is a liquid plant growth regulator combining gibberellic acid GA3 and naphthoxyacetic acid BNOA.
What benefits are documented for TEKOR?
The datasheet highlights early ripening, fruit set, fruit development, increased size and more uniform fruit quality.
Which crops have dose tables in the datasheet?
Aubergine and tomato, citrus, strawberry, pear and watermelon.
Why is no compatibility text included here?
The caution block in the source names another product, so that statement has not been reassigned to TEKOR.
