3.Gebrilan tablets increase grape yields

The Noor Brothers take pride in supplying different kinds of certified/improved (wheat, vegetable and animal forage) seeds, fertilizers and agro-based high quality products through their central farm stores and its strong network (300 Ag-Depots) all over Afghanistan.

Recently released report by MAIL perennial horticulture development program (PHDP), funded by EC, has highlighted the usage of Gebrilan (GA3) and its supply of over 100,000 tablets by the Noor Brothers Agriculture Group to the grape growers in Afghanistan every year.

PHDP, as a result of its trial that was carried out in 2008, has recommended that the standard practice of Gebrilan usage can provide substantial returns to grape growers especially for the Keshmeshi and Shundukhani grapes, which are seedless grape varieties. More detail in the tables below:
