4-CPA can be absorbed by plant root, stem, leaf, flower, fruit. The biological activity duration is long.
Its main functions are as follow:
To promote fruit set and fruit enlargement;
To form seedless fruits.
Applications
It is used to prevent abscission of bloom and fruit, inhibit rooting of beans, promote fruit set, induce formation of seedless fruit. Also used for ripening and fruit thinning. It performs better when used in combination with 0.1% monopotassium phosphate. It also has herbicidal effect at high dosage.
