CPPU Plant Growth Regulator: Advanced Fruit Sizing & Yield Enhancer for High-Value Crops
CPPU (Forchlorfenuron) is a highly effective plant growth regulator belonging to the cytokinin group, widely used in fruit crops to increase fruit size, improve fruit set, and enhance overall yield. CPPU works by stimulating cell division and cell enlargement during the early fruit development stage, leading to larger, heavier, and more uniform fruits.
Research studies and field trials across grape-growing regions have shown that CPPU significantly improves berry diameter, cluster weight, and marketable yield. It is especially popular among grape growers for producing export-quality large berries. CPPU is also used in crops such as kiwi, watermelon, cucumber, and other cucurbits to improve fruit development and reduce fruit drop.
By promoting strong cell division activity in young fruits, CPPU helps farmers achieve premium fruit size and better market prices while maintaining crop quality.

CPPU Features and Benefits
Improves Fruit Size
CPPU stimulates rapid cell division in young fruits, resulting in larger and heavier fruits.
Enhances Fruit Set
Improves fertilization success and reduces early fruit drop in many crops.
Uniform Fruit Development
Ensures consistent fruit size and shape across the crop, which improves market grading.
Higher Yield Potential
By increasing fruit size and reducing drop, CPPU significantly increases total yield.
Improves Market Quality
Produces attractive fruits with better firmness and shelf life.
Effective at Low Dosage
CPPU works efficiently even at very low concentrations, making it economical for farmers.
Compatible with Crop Management Programs
Can be easily integrated with regular crop nutrition and protection schedules.
Mode of Action
CPPU belongs to the cytokinin class of plant hormones. Cytokinins promote cell division in plant tissues. When applied during early fruit development, CPPU increases the number of cells in the fruit and enhances cell expansion, resulting in larger fruit size and improved weight.
