EnergHi Triacontanol – Plant Growth Enhancer for Pasture and Crops
Triacontanol is a natural potent plant growth regulator found in epicuticular waxes
Improving photosynthesis, the fundamental process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy, is a key area of research with great potential for enhancing sustainable agricultural productivity
Triacontanol is commonly used to enhance crop production, growth, yield, photosynthesis, protein synthesis, uptake of water and nutrients, nitrogen-fixation, enzymes activities and contents of free amino acids
Triacontanol can help improve the rate and extent of plant recovery from stress, application of selective herbicides or suffering from adverse climatic conditions
Helps to increase cell widening and thickening
Helps increase mineral uptake from soil
Helps to promote more tillering
Helps to increase root mass and length
Helps to increase plant protein
Available in 2.5 Litre and 5 Litre options
Application rate 25-50mls per/Ha
Apply with Gibboost and Liquid Nitrogen
Must be used with Surfactant for best results

What Is Triacontanol?
Triacontanol is a naturally occurring plant growth regulator found in plant waxes such as alfalfa and beeswax. It is recognised for its ability to improve photosynthesis, nutrient uptake and overall plant performance.
Unlike fertilisers, Triacontanol does not supply nutrients directly. Instead, it helps plants use available nutrients more efficiently by stimulating natural plant processes.
In New Zealand pasture systems, Triacontanol is commonly used alongside Gibberellic Acid and Liquid Nitrogen to increase dry matter production, improve root development and enhance plant recovery following stress.
Suitable for dairy, sheep, beef, deer, cropping and horticultural systems, Triacontanol can be used strategically to help maximise return on fertiliser investment.
Why Farmers Use Triacontanol
Farmers don't buy Triacontanol because they want another product.
They use it because they want:
Better photosynthesis
Helping plants convert sunlight into growth.
More root mass
Improving water and nutrient uptake.
Better tillering
Producing denser, more productive pastures.
Improved stress recovery
Helping plants recover after grazing, herbicide application or adverse weather.
Improved nitrogen efficiency
Getting more growth from each unit of nitrogen applied.
Increased pasture protein
Supporting animal performance.
Why Combine EnergHi with GibBoost and Liquid N?
Liquid N
Provides nitrogen.
Gibboost
Stimulates leaf elongation and pasture growth.
EnergHi
Improves photosynthesis and nutrient efficiency.
Surfactant
Improves uptake.
Together these products help maximise dry matter production and often allow equivalent pasture production with lower nitrogen inputs.
When Is Triacontanol Most Useful?
Autumn
Help build pasture cover before winter.
Winter
Improve growth responses from Gibberellic Acid, nitrogen and sulphur applications.
Early Spring
Bring feed forward for calving and lambing, and get clover growing.
Summer Stress
Assist recovery from heat or moisture stress, and help aid in clover growth.
Triacontanol for Different Farming Systems
Dairy
Increase pasture quality and protein.
Sheep and Beef
Improve pasture density and feed supply.
Deer
Support growth during critical periods.
Maize and Cropping
Improve photosynthesis and nutrient use.
Vegetables and Horticulture
Increase plant vigour and crop quality.
Frequently Asked Questions About Triacontanol
What is Triacontanol?
Triacontanol is a naturally occurring plant growth regulator that improves photosynthesis and plant performance.
Does Triacontanol replace fertiliser?
No. It works alongside nutrients rather than replacing them.
Can EnergHi be used by itself?
Yes, but for pasture it performs best when used with Gibboost and Nitrogen.
Does Triacontanol improve root growth?
Yes. Increased root mass and nutrient uptake are among the commonly reported benefits.
Does Triacontanol increase pasture protein?
It may contribute to improved protein synthesis and nutrient utilisation.
Can EnergHi be mixed with Gibberellic Acid?
Yes, combining the two products is common practice.
How much extra growth can EnergHi provide?
Trials and practical experience suggest an additional response over Gibberellic Acid alone is possible under suitable conditions.
