Toxicity: Small rat can resist LD50 15000mg/kg.

Use: Break dormancy; Promote bourgeon; Improve quality and increase fruit production. Applicable to fruits and vegetables.

Cautions:
1. Due to low solubility of the pure gibberellic acid in water, dissolve it in small amount of ethyl alcohol at first, add water to reach the concentration required.
2. Must avoid being used with alkaline substance; May be used with neutral or mild acidic.
3. The product must be stored in low temperature and dry conditions. Should be used immediately after adding water.
