Description

Forchlorfenuron is a synthetic plant growth regulator belonging to the cytokinin family. This compound is valued for its potent ability to promote cell division and fruit development, leading to significant improvements in crop yield and quality. It is an essential tool for agricultural professionals, horticulturists, and researchers focused on enhancing productivity in fruit, vegetable, and ornamental plant cultivation.

Application

• Fruit Enlargement & Setting: Widely used to increase fruit size and improve fruit set in grapes, kiwifruit, melons, and various berries.
• Parthenocarpic Fruit Induction: Promotes the development of seedless fruits in crops like cucumbers and tomatoes.
• Crop Yield Enhancement: Applied to boost overall yield and uniformity in orchard and greenhouse production systems.
• Plant Tissue Culture: Serves as a key cytokinin component in media for micropropagation and callus induction.
• Post-Harvest Quality Management: Used to maintain firmness and delay senescence in certain fruits post-harvest.
• Agricultural Research: A standard reagent in plant physiology and developmental biology studies.
