Reports out of China says farmers using this stuff "forchlorfenuron" on their watermelon crops caused them to explode. It's approved for use by the USDA on crops although I'm not able to find much information on it other them a bunch of technical jargon. It's used in the US on grape crops. I thought it was listed as a pesticide but I don't see how that would cause the melons to explode??
