VEKON
Foliar plant growth regulator with 1% forchlorfenuron (CPPU) designed to stimulate cell division and fruit growth at key development stages.
VEKON is a physiological plant growth regulator formulated as a 1.0% liquid solution of forchlorfenuron (CPPU), a synthetic cytokinin.
The datasheet describes stimulation of cell division and fruit elongation, with crop programs aimed at fruit growth, uniformity, yield and commercial quality.

Key benefits and agronomic effects
- Increases total crop yield and improves uniformity and commercial quality.
- Stimulates cell division and fruit elongation.
- Promotes fruit growth at key stages of development.
How it works / Technical advantages
VEKON is described as a highly active synthetic cytokinin that stimulates cell division and fruit elongation. The datasheet links its use at key fruit-development stages with larger and heavier fruits and more uniform fruit growth.
Application rates and timing
Application Guidance: Use VEKON at the crop-specific development stages and dose values shown in the datasheet. The source dose-column unit presentation is ambiguous, so values are preserved without conversion.
Foliar application
| Crops | Timing | Dose | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tomato | At the beginning of vegetative development for plant conformation; at beginning of flowering and first-fruit set for fruit weight, size and uniformity; repeat after each cut for finished tomatoes. | 1 | Dose value preserved from source; table heading references PPM / ml per 100 L water. |
| Pumpkin, melon and watermelon | At 3-5 true leaves for early vine development; at beginning of female flowering for fruit set; repeat every 5-10 days thereafter for fruit weight, size and uniformity. | 1 | Dose value preserved from source; table heading references PPM / ml per 100 L water. |
| Cucumber | When first flowers appear; repeat after 7 days for flower and fruit setting. For size, uniformity and weight, repeat every 5-10 days when young fruit appears. | 0.5 | Dose value preserved from source; table heading references PPM / ml per 100 L water. |
| Onion | At the second pair of true leaves to improve bulb size, shape and uniformity. | 0.5 | Dose value preserved from source; table heading references PPM / ml per 100 L water. |
| Deciduous fruit trees (apple, peach, pear, plum and cherry) | At fruit set; repeat 15 days later. | 0.5 | Objective: increase setting and improve fruit size and shape. Dose value preserved from source. |
| Citrus fruits and mangoes | 15 days before flowering; repeat at petal fall and when fruit is marble-sized. | 1 | Objective: uniform blooms and increase fruit set. Dose value preserved from source. |
| Blackberry | During budding; at beginning of flowering and fruit set, with an 8-day safety interval. | 1 | Dose value preserved from source; table heading references PPM / ml per 100 L water. |
| Strawberries | During crown formation; at beginning of flowering and fruit set, with an 8-day safety interval. | 1 | Dose value preserved from source; table heading references PPM / ml per 100 L water. |
| Table grape | From green point to 15 cm shoots, according to variety, to improve sprouting uniformity, shoot vigor and bunch structure. | 4 | Dose value preserved from source; table heading references PPM / ml per 100 L water. |
| Pineapple | At drying of the petals of the last third of the fruit. | 2 | Objective: improve fruit shape and weight. Dose value preserved from source. |
| Ornamentals (roses, chrysanthemums, carnations and poinsettias) | At beginning of bud burst or after bud burst for lateral bud sprouting; for bunch-produced species, just after the apical flower bursts. | 0.5 | Dose value preserved from source; table heading references PPM / ml per 100 L water. |
| Potato | At planting for sprouting; for stolons, at the beginning of that stage and repeat 15 days later. | 1 at planting; 1.5 for stolon-stage foliar use | The datasheet gives separate values within the potato program. |
Additional technical information
Mixing & compatibility
VEKON is described as compatible with most foliar fertilizers and plant protection products with a neutral or slightly acidic reaction. Avoid strongly alkaline products and other growth regulators. If in doubt, perform a small-scale compatibility test and maintain constant agitation.
Precautions & storage
Store in the original tightly closed container in a cool, dry and ventilated place, protected from direct sunlight and heat. Store above 0°C and below 40°C. Keep out of reach of children, pets and unauthorized persons, and away from food, feed and drinking-water sources. The datasheet states at least 2 years of effectiveness under proper storage conditions.
