Gibberellic or GA-3 or GA3

Gibberellin/Gibberellic Acid(trade names Pro-Gibbr 4% Liquid or Gib-Solr
 In plants, there have been over 70 different forms of gibberellin that have
 been identified. Gibberellins are important in seed dormancy, cell
 enlargement, phototropism (the movement of plants toward the sunlight) and
 many other factors.  In the commercial production of table grapes, the
 gibberellin which has been widely used is gibberellic acid number 3 usually
 referred to as GA3.
 In varieties like Thompson Seedless, Flame Seedless, Perlette and a few
 other varieties (seedless grapes primarily) GA3 (gibberellic acid) is used
 for either thinning out the number of flowers which set fruit, a bloom
 thinning spray, or for increasing the size of the berries(referred to as a
 sizing spray which is applied about one week following bloom). In some
 varieties both a bloom spray and one or two sizing sprays are generally applied.
 One must be extremely careful when using GA3 on grapes. Each variety has a
 different tolerance level and one should not "experiment" or use more of the
 material than is recommended for any given variety.
