Forchlorfenuron (CPPU) is a white crystalline powder used to promote plant growth and increase crop yields. It works by promoting cell division, differentiation, and development in plants. CPPU is applied at concentrations of 1-1000 ppm depending on the crop, where it induces branching, increases fruit size, improves fruit set, and delays aging. It has a melting point of 171-172°C and is stable under heat and light but not hydrolyzed under different pH levels. CPPU is only mildly toxic based on oral and dermal LD50 tests on rats, rabbits, and birds.

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.
