2. Ethephon releases ethylene in tissues such as roots, pods, flowers, and fruits of plants to regulate plant metabolism, growth, and development.
3. This product accelerates the harvest and ripening of fruits and vegetables.
4. Used as a ripening agent after fruit harvest.
Ethephon (CAS 16672-87-0) is a plant growth regulator used in agriculture to promote fruit ripening, synchronize flowering, and facilitate harvesting by releasing ethylene, a natural plant hormone. Its applications include ripening fruits like tomatoes and pineapples, promoting uniform boll opening in cotton, and improving yield and sex expression in crops like cucumbers. It is also used to prevent lodging in cereals and maize, stimulate latex flow in rubber trees, and break seed dormancy.
