Chlorpyriprole, as a plant growth regulator, can promote plant growth and fruit enlargement when used in moderation, thereby increasing crop yield and improving quality. However, excessive use of chlorpropiramine can lead to a series of adverse consequences. The following is a detailed analysis of these consequences:
1. Impact on fruit quality: - Thickening of fruit skin: Excessive chlorpyramide can stimulate the growth of fruit skin, leading to an increase in skin thickness, which in turn affects the taste and appearance of the fruit- Diminishing taste: Excessive use of swelling agents can reduce the sweetness and flavor of the fruit, making it bland and tasteless.
2. Effects on fruit appearance: - Abnormal fruit: Excessive use of chlorpyriprole can cause fruit deformities such as grooves, irregular shapes, etc., which not only affect the marketability of the fruit, but may also reduce consumers' willingness to purchase.
3. Reduce yield: For certain varieties that are prone to fruit cracking, such as Kyoho grapes, excessive use of chlorpyriprole can exacerbate the phenomenon of fruit cracking, thereby failing to achieve the goal of increasing yield and may even lead to reduced production.
4. Increased risk of pests and diseases: In some cases, excessive use of chlorpropiramine may also make crops more susceptible to pests and diseases, as the physiological balance of crops is disrupted and resistance is reduced.
5. Potential harm to human health: Chlorpyriprole belongs to the class of hormone chemicals. Although its direct toxicity to the human body is low (such as a high acute oral LD50 value), long-term and large intake may have adverse effects on human health, especially on the nervous system, such as causing childhood encephalitis, developmental disorders, dementia, etc.
6. Other environmental issues: Excessive use of chlorpropiramine may also cause pollution to soil and water bodies, disrupting the balance of the ecological environment.
When using plant growth regulators such as chlorpyramide, it is necessary to strictly follow the instructions and recommended dosage to avoid adverse consequences caused by excessive use. At the same time, agricultural producers should strengthen water and fertilizer management, timely supplement the nutrients and water needed by crops, and ensure the healthy growth of crops. For the problem of excessive use that has already occurred, timely measures should be taken to remedy and repair it.
