Increase of the cultivars berry apirenic growth of seedless grapes treated with CPPU and GA3

The Seedless grapes (Vitis vinifera L.), have always decrease in berry size, requiring managements to increase cluster quality. The spray with growth regulators is one of most effective the treatment to enlarge berry size. The objective of this work was to determine the effects of Forchlorfenuron (CPPU: 0 e 10mgL-1) associated with Giberelic acid (GA3: 0, 25, 50, 75 e 100 mgL-1) during the first cycle of production of the cultivars Centennial Seedless, Flame Seedless and Thompson Seedless. The appraised characteristics were length, diameter and weight of berries. For Centennial Seedless, larger lengths, diameter and weight of berries were obtained with 100 mL-1 of GA3; and the concentration of 100 mL-1 of GA3 added to 10 mL-1 of CPPU was the most responsive for Flame and Thompson Seedless, being observed delays in maturation, in terms of total soluble solids, for all cultivars.
