Forchlorfenuron, also called chlorfenuron, is a plant growth regulator. It is widely used in agriculture, horticulture and fruit trees to promote cell division, promote cell expansion and elongation, promote fruit enlargement, increase yield, preserve freshness, and so on.
Forchlorfenuron can affect the development of plant buds, accelerate cell mitosis, promote cell enlargement and differentiation, and prevent the shedding of fruits and flowers, thereby promoting plant growth, early ripening, delaying the senescence of crop leaves in the later stage, and increasing yield.


1. It promotes the growth of stems, leaves, roots and fruits; for example, when used in tobacco cultivation it can make the leaves thick and increase yield.
2. Promoting fruit set: applying forchlorfenuron can increase the yield of fruits and vegetables such as tomatoes, eggplants and apples.
3. Accelerating fruit thinning and leaf drop: fruit thinning can increase fruit yield, improve quality, and make fruit uniform in size. For cotton and soybeans, leaf drop can make harvesting easier.
4. At high concentrations, forchlorfenuron can be used as a herbicide.
5. Others: such as the desiccation effect on cotton, and increasing the sugar content of sugar beets and sugarcane.
