- Product Highlight
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.

- Uses
Prestige is a complementary product for ProGibb® not a replacement product, and they should be used together for optimum berry sizing.
- Applications
Prestige 10 EC can be applied as:
- Directed spray to the young fruit or bunches, with spray volumes in the range of 500 L/ha (single fruit treatment). Spray volume depends on crop load, spray equipment used, nozzle type and spray pressure. Bunches have to be thoroughly wetted. Formation of drip points must be avoided.
- Overall spray on the whole vines by means of a mist blower, etc. (e.g. air blast spraying), with spray volumes of around 1,000 L/ha depending on vine height, spacing of vines and equipment used (nozzle type and size etc.).
- Apply as a fine mist. Complete coverage of the fruit is essential and all bunches have to be wetted thoroughly. Apply at a volume of between 500 and 1,000 L water per hectare on established vines. Use proportionally less on younger vines.
