ProGibb LV Plus Special Local Needs Registration Renewed
The California Avocado Commission is pleased to announce that the Special Local Needs registration for ProGibb LV Plus Plant Growth Regulator Solution (gibberellic acid) use on avocados in California has been renewed through December 31, 2025. ProGibb has been shown to effectively increase fruit size and set when applied at the cauliflower stage of bloom and has been available for use on avocados in California under an SLN registration since March 2018.
ProGibb LV Plus can be applied from the ground or by air. Ground applications should be made by mixing 12.5 fluid ounces of product in 100 gallons of water per acre. Aerial applications should be made by mixing 12.5 fluid ounces of product in 75 gallons of water per acre. Only one (1) application is allowed per year.
The restricted entry interval is 4 hours, and the preharvest interval is 0 days, so ProGibb LV Plus can be used with minimal disruption to harvesting and other grove management activities.
Please note:
- A copy of the current SLN Label must be in the possession of the user at the time of application.
- The signature of the County Agricultural Commissioner or their designee must be obtained prior to the use of ProGibb LV Plus.
- This SLN is only valid for the ProGibb LV Plus product manufactured by Valent BioSciences Corporation. Generic gibberellic acid products may not be used under this SLN.
If you have any questions about this SLN registration and the use of ProGibb LV Plus, please consult with your local PCA or you may contact Tim Spann at [email protected].
