Application

Absorbed by leaves, stem, cotyledon and germinated seeds, forchlorfenuron (CPPU) promotes cell division, differentiation and development; induces budding of callus, and controls apical dominance; breaks dormancy of lateral buds and promotes germination; delays ageing process and maintains chlorophyll in excised leaves; regulates the transport of nutrients; promotes fruit formation, etc. Used to increase the size of kiwifruit, table grapes and peaches; promote fruit set in melons, pumpkins and cucumbers; promote branching in apples; and increase yield in potatoes, rice and wheat. Applied at 1–1000 ppm, depending on crop. Phytotoxicity Herbicidal activity at higher concentrations.
