About Forchlorfenuron
Forchlorfenuron or CPPU is a synthetic cytokinin which is normally used to increase the berry size of grapes and kiwifruit.
CPPU stimulates the periclinal cell division leading to the more round and/or oval shaped berries (grapes and kiwifruit).
CPPU also delays the anticipated maturity and red color development along with increase in pedicel thickness and rachis size in grapes. Besides these general effects, CPPU has also been used to extend shelf and storage life of grapes
Forchlorfenuron has only been approved for use on kiwi fruit, raisins, and grapes in the United States.
