APPLICATIONS

Mode of action:

• Ethephon is a plant growth regulator with systemic properties.

• Penetrates into the plant tissues, and is decomposed to ethylene, which affects the growth processes.

Uses of Ethephon:

• Ethephon can be used to promote pre-harvest ripening in apples, currants, blackberries, blueberries, cranberries, morello cherries, citrus fruit, figs, tomatoes, sugar beet and fodder beet seed crops, coffee, capsicums, etc.;

• to accelerate post-harvest ripening in bananas, mangoes and citrus fruit;

• to facilitate harvesting by loosening of the fruit in currants, gooseberries, cherries and apples;

• to increase flower bud development in young apple trees;

• to prevent lodging in cereals, maize and flax;

• to induce flowering of Bromeliads;

• to stimulate lateral branching in azaleas, geraniums and roses;

• to shorten the stem length in forced daffodils;

• to induce flowering and regulate ripening in pineapples;

• to accelerate boll opening in cotton;

• to modify sex expression in cucumbers and squash;

• to increase fruit setting and yield in cucumbers;

• to improve the sturdiness of onion seed crops;

• to hasten the yellowing of mature tobacco leaves;

• to stimulate latex flow in rubber trees, and resin flow in pine trees;

• to stimulate early uniform hull split in walnuts;

• Maximum application rate per season 2.18kg/ha for cotton, 0.72kg/ha for cereals, 1.44kg/ha for fruit.

Compatibility of Ethephon:

• Ethephon is incompatible with alkaline materials and with solutions containing metal ions, e.g. iron-, zinc-, copper-, and manganese- containing fungicides.
