45-50 DAPTarget Date: 28 Dec 2026

Stage 3: Flowering & GA3 Berry Thinning Dip

400L Water (26 Tanks/Acre)

80%–100% caps fall (calyptra drop). Thinning spray/dip to loosen tight clusters and elongate berry pedicels.

Mixing Warning: GA3 dip is conducted manually by dipping bunches in small cups.
Expert Tip: Dip bunches when 80% flower caps have fallen. Dipping too early causes loose, straggly clusters; dipping too late fails to thin.

Mixing Warning: Do not mix Calcium Nitrate with Sulphur or Phosphate fertilizers.
Expert Tip: Clip the tip of the bunch leaving 80-100 berries per cluster. Overloading the vine drops sugar levels below export threshold (16° Brix).

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions: Grapes (Viticulture) Spraying

CPPU (Forchlorfenuron) is a synthetic cytokinin. When mixed with GA3 at 1–2 ppm during the 4–6 mm berry stage, it stimulates lateral cell division, producing plump, broad-shouldered export berries of 16–18 mm diameter.
