Product Introduction
7.8% Diethyl Aminoethyl Hexanoate + 0.2% S-Abscisic Acid SL is a high-performance soluble liquid plant growth regulator containing a synergistic combination of DA-6 (a broad-spectrum plant growth promoter) and S-ABA (a natural plant stress resistance hormone). It provides growth promotion, yield enhancement, fruit coloration, and stress tolerance improvement across a wide range of agricultural and horticultural crops.
DA-6, discovered by U.S. scientists in the 1990s, is a high-energy plant growth regulator that enhances chlorophyll content, accelerates photosynthesis, promotes cell division and elongation, and improves root development. S-ABA is one of the five major naturally occurring plant hormones, recognized internationally as a plant "stress-inducing substance" that activates plant defense mechanisms.
The unique combination of DA-6 and S-ABA delivers coordinated regulation of growth and stress responses, offering both yield enhancement and resilience improvement in a single formulation.
Key Synergistic Benefits:
- Promotes rapid fruit coloration and ripening
- Enhances yield components (grain weight, fruit size)
- Improves stress tolerance under drought, cold, and salinity
- Increases nutrient uptake and photosynthetic efficiency
- Extends harvest window and improves storage quality

Mode of Action
This product operates through two complementary mechanisms:
DA-6 Mechanism:
DA-6 enhances plant growth by increasing peroxidase and nitrate reductase activities, raising chlorophyll content, accelerating photosynthetic rate, promoting cell division and elongation, and regulating nutrient balance. DA-6 also possesses auxin and cytokinin-like activities, facilitating comprehensive growth regulation without causing excessive vegetative growth.
S-ABA Mechanism:
S-ABA acts as a plant stress signal, inducing the expression of stress-responsive genes that enhance tolerance to drought, cold, salinity, and disease. Under stress conditions, S-ABA triggers stomatal closure to reduce water loss, activates cold-resistant protein synthesis, and promotes anthocyanin accumulation for fruit coloration.
Key Synergistic Characteristics:
Dual-action growth + stress regulation
Promotes both vegetative growth and reproductive development
Reduces risk of growth-regulator imbalance
Rapid absorption and translocation within plants

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
A. What makes this DA-6 + S-ABA combination unique compared to single-component regulators?
The synergistic combination provides both growth promotion and stress resistance in one product. DA-6 enhances photosynthesis, cell division, and nutrient uptake, while S-ABA activates stress defense mechanisms and promotes coloration. This dual-action approach delivers superior yield and quality results compared to either component alone.
B. What crops is this formulation mainly used for?
It is widely used in:
- Fruit crops: Grapes, Apple, Strawberry, Citrus, Cherry, Peach
- Vegetables: Tomato, Pepper, Cucumber, Eggplant
- Cereals: Rice, Wheat, Corn
- Ornamentals: Roses, Chrysanthemums, Bedding plants
- Specialty crops: Tea, Tobacco, Cotton, Soybean
C. How does this product compare to ethephon for fruit coloration?
Unlike ethephon, which can cause leaf yellowing and premature fruit drop at high concentrations, this DA-6 + S-ABA formulation provides safer coloration with fewer side effects. S-ABA promotes natural anthocyanin synthesis without excessive ethylene release, while DA-6 maintains overall plant vigor during fruit ripening.
D. Does this product work under low-temperature conditions?
Yes. DA-6 retains its growth-promoting activity even at temperatures below 15°C, where many other regulators show reduced efficacy. This makes the product particularly valuable for early spring applications and greenhouse production.
E. How quickly does it work after application?
Visible results appear within 4–7 days:
- Fruit coloration becomes noticeable within 4–7 days after application
- Enhanced plant vigor and leaf greening appear within 2–3 days
- Stress tolerance improves within 3–5 days
F. What is the recommended application timing?
Best applied at:
- For coloration: When 10–30% of fruit shows initial color development
- For yield enhancement: Tillering/booting stage (cereals), fruit set stage (fruits)
- For stress management: Before forecasted stress events (drought, cold front)
G. Can this product be mixed with fertilizers or pesticides?
Yes. DA-6 acts as a fertilizer and pesticide synergist, improving nutrient uptake and enhancing the efficacy of accompanying agrochemicals while potentially reducing required application rates. However, avoid mixing with strongly alkaline products.
H. What is the shelf life and storage condition?
The product has a 2-year shelf life when stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Store in original, unopened containers between 5–35°C.
I. Is this product suitable for organic production?
S-ABA is a naturally occurring plant hormone approved for use in many organic production systems. DA-6 is a synthetic compound; therefore, certification varies by region. Please check with your local organic certifying body.
J. Do you support registration and marketing support?
Yes. We provide:
- Regulatory support
- Market-specific documentation
- Custom formulation services
