Ethephon 39% SL is a plant growth regulator that contains 39% ethephon, a chemical that releases ethylene within plant tissues to promote various growth processes, including fruit ripening, uniform flowering, and fruit abscission.
It is a water-soluble liquid used in crops like mango, tomato, cotton, and coffee to improve crop quality, yield, and post-harvest treatment.
Ethephon 39% SL
Fruit Ripening: Accelerates and promotes uniform ripening of fruits, improving color and quality,
Flowering Induction: Stimulates flowering in various fruit trees and ornamental plants.
Defoliation: Induces leaf shedding, which can improve flowering and fruit yield.
Alternate Bearing: Controls the alternate bearing tendency in mango trees, helping to ensure more consistent yields.
Latex Flow: Increases latex flow in rubber plants.
Post-Harvest Treatment: Can be used as a post-harvest treatment to enhance fruit quality.
Ethephon is a plant growth regulator that functions as a chemical precursor to ethylene, a natural plant hormone.
When applied to plants, ethephon is absorbed and then breaks down into ethylene.
Ethylene triggers and controls various plant processes, including ripening, senescence (aging), and abscission (shedding of parts).
15 ml in 15 litter water
Fruits: Enhances ripening and flowering in mangoes, pineapples, tomatoes, and pomegranates.
Cotton: Improves ripening and defoliation.
Coffee: Promotes uniform berry ripening.
Ornamentals: Induces flowering in plants like chrysanthemums and poinsettias.
