Date:12-19-2016

Repar Corporation (“Repar”) has been involved in the development and marketing of agricultural chemicals that are designed to protect human health and environmental safety. This company, located in Silver Spring Innovation Center (SSIC), has developed a unique biochemical substance called Homobrassinolide 0.1% which is a new generation plant growth promoter. It is a natural substance with profound plant growth-promoting activity. It is also known by its alternate brand names, HBR 0.1%, Homobrassin and Initiator Homobrassin.

The product contains 0.03 grams of active ingredient per fluid ounce. It is fully biodegradable, leaves no residues, and is environmentally friendly.

The natural plant growth substance present in the product improves the physiological and biochemical processes involved in crop growth and development. It does this by promoting cell division and seed germination, increasing photosynthesis and selected enzymes, imparting stress resistance, controlling flowering and fruit growth, and increases quality of produce.

Repar is recommending its use on a selected large array of farm, flowering, and fruit and nut crops. It is compatible with pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers and micronutrients commonly used by farmers and growers.

Among the selected crops are potatoes, artichoke, yams, onions, celery, lettuce, rhubarb, spinach, cabbage, cauliflower, beans, peas, tomatoes, eggplant, pepper, okra, melon, cantaloupe, cucumber, squash, watermelon, oranges and grapefruit, apples, pears, cherries, peaches, plums, apricots, nectarines, bananas, table and wine grapes, almonds, walnuts, barley, buckwheat, corn, oats, wheat, sugar cane, rice, rye, lucerne, peanuts, rape, soybean, sunflower, cotton and flowering plants.
