Ethephon 48%SL Tree Growth Regulators with systemic properties , CAS 137-26-8

Description:

Ethephon is a kind of plant growth regulator with systemic properties. It can be used in many pla

nt species, chemical concentration, and time of application. Ethephon regulates phases of plant

growth and development by application to various growth sites. It is currently registered in the U.

S. for use on apples, barley, blackberries, bromeliads, cantaloupes, cherries, coffee, cotton, cuc

umbers, grapes, guava, macadamia nuts, ornamentals, peppers, pineapples, rye, squash, sugar

cane, tobacco, tomatoes, walnuts, wheat, etc. Ethephon's mode of action acts via liberation of et

hylene, which is absorbed by the plant and interferes in the growth process. It is also used in the acceleration of ripening of fruits and vegetables.

Ethephon comes in RTU (ready-to-use), emulsifiable concentrate and aqueous solution formulati

ons. It may also be used in combination with Terpal (with mepiquat-chloride) and Terpal C (chlorm

equat-chloride).
