Prestige®
Prestige® is registered for table grapes grown in Australia, Prestige® is a plant growth regulator product that contains the cytokinin forchlorfenuron (CPPU). Prestige increases fruit set and size by stimulating cell division and improves fruit firmness, uniformity, and cap stem attachment. It is also a great harvest management tool, delaying aging and in later-producing regions, delaying harvest. At higher rates, Prestige may change berry shape to a more esthetic, spherical form. Prestige is designed to be a complementary product to ProGibb and should be used together for an optimum sizing program. Prestige does not translocate through grape plant tissue, so good coverage of the fruit is essential.

- Product Info
Prestige® Plant Growth Regulator is an EC formulation containing 10 g/L forchlofenuron (CPPU) and adds to the Sumitomo PGR range for Tablegrapes. Prestige increases the berry size of Tablegrapes and is used when berries are 4 - 6 mm in diameter. It is a synthetic Cytokinin that stimulates cell division to produce berry enlargement.

- Agrochemicals
- Compatibility
Prestige 10 EC is not compatible with insecticides, fungicides or herbicides and should therefore not be used in tank mixtures with these products. Prestige 10 EC can be used in a tank mix with ProGibb.

- HIGHLIGHTS
Prestige 10 EC is a very active plant growth regulator (phenylurea type cytokinin) that increases berry size of table grapes. As the active ingredient forchlorfenuron acts through increasing cell numbers and cell size by exhibiting direct influence on the fruit and as forchlorfenuron is not translocated in plant tissue (e.g. from treated leaves to fruit), it is sufficient to spray only the fruit by direct application. Directed spray to the young fruitlets and airblast spraying to fruitlets and leaves are equivalent with respect to efficacy. Prestige 10 EC increases berry size in table grapes when sprayed onto the small berries when they have reached 4 - 6 mm diameter. Higher rates of Prestige 10 EC may change berry shape to a more spherical form.
