Phenylurea/substituted urea plant growth regulator widely used in agriculture on fruits to increase their size, to promote cell division, and to improve the quality and the yield of fruits, especially table grapes, grape raisins, and kiwi fruit. In some parts of California, forchlorfenuron is reputed to double the size of Thompson seedless grapes and delay crop maturity up to several weeks.

If this chemical gets into the eyes, remove any contact lenses at once and irrigate immediately for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting upper and lower lids. Seek medical attention immediately. If this chemical contacts the skin, remove contaminated clothing and wash immedi ately with soap and water. Seek medical attention immedi ately. If this chemical has been inhaled, remove from exposure, begin rescue breathing (using universal precau tions) if breathing has stopped, and CPR if heart action has stopped. Transfer promptly to a medical facility. When this chemical has been swallowed, get medical attention. Give large quantities of water. Do not induce vomiting when formulations containing petroleum sol vents are ingested. Do not make an unconscious person vomit.

Containers must be disposed of properly by following package label directions or by contacting your local or federal environmental control agency, or by contacting your regional EPA office. If this material cannot be disposed of according to label instruc tions, it may be dissolved or mixed with a combustible sol vent and burned in a chemical incinerator equipped with an afterburner and scrubber. In accordance with 40CFR165, follow recommendations for the disposal of pesticides and pesticide containers.

Forchlorfenuronis is a diphenylurea-derivative cytokinin. Forchlorfenuronis is used as a plant growth regulator (PGR). Forchlorfenuronis is commonly used in horticulture to stimulate the growth of kiw i fruit and grapes.

ChEBI: Forchlorfenuron is a member of the class of phenylureas that is urea substituted by a phenyl group and a 2-chloropyridin-4-yl group at positions 1 and 3 respectively. It is a plant growth regulator widely used in agriculture for improving fruit quality and fruit size. It has a role as a plant growth regulator. It is a member of phenylureas and a monochloropyridine.

Plant growth regulator: Forchlorfenuron is as a plant growth regulator to promote cell division, and to improve the quality and the yield of fruits, especially table grapes, grape raisins, and kiwi fruit.
