As a leading supplier in the agrochemical industry, we proudly present Ethephon, a high-quality and highly efficient plant growth regulator designed to optimize crop production, accelerate fruit maturation, and improve overall yield quality for large-scale agricultural operations worldwide.
Product Overview:Ethephon is a versatile plant growth stimulant that functions similarly to the natural plant hormone, ethylene. It is readily soluble in water, ethanol, methanol, acetone, and other common solvents, ensuring ease of application. It serves as a powerful tool to precisely manage plant development cycles, from promoting flowering to hastening uniform ripening.
Core Functions & Agricultural Benefits:Ethephon regulates critical physiological processes in plants by enhancing cellular RNA synthesis, promoting protein production, and activating specific enzymes. This leads to multiple actionable benefits for commercial farmers:
- Promotes Uniform Fruit Ripening & Maturation: Activates enzymes related to ripening (e.g., phosphatase), ensuring consistent and early maturation for bananas, citrus, tomatoes, watermelons, pineapples, apples, and more. This allows for better harvest planning and market timing.
- Enhances Abscission & Facilitates Harvest: Accelerates the formation of abscission layers in petioles, fruit stalks, etc., promoting leaf shedding or easier fruit picking, which is crucial for crops like cotton and aids in mechanized harvesting.
- Regulates Plant Growth & Development:
- Dwarfing Effect: Controls excessive plant height, improving lodging resistance.
- Breaks Seed & Bud Dormancy: Promotes uniform germination and sprouting.
- Modifies Sex Expression in Flowers: Significantly increases the number of female flowers in crops like cucumbers, potentially boosting fruit set.
- Induces Flowering: Regulates flowering time, as used in pineapple cultivation.
- Increases Yield of Natural Products: Significantly stimulates and increases the flow of latex in rubber trees, as well as resin in benzoin and lacquer trees, directly enhancing productivity.
- Aids in Crop-Specific Processes: Accelerates boll opening and fiber maturation in cotton; promotes uniform yellowing and ripening in tobacco leaves; can be used for chemical wheat male sterility.
Primary Application Areas:
- Fruit Ripening: Banana, Citrus, Tomato, Watermelon, Apple, Pineapple.
- Field Crops: Cotton (concentrated boll opening), Tobacco (ripening), Rice (early maturation), Wheat.
- Vegetables & Melons: Cucumber (female flower induction), various melons.
- Plantation Crops: Rubber (latex stimulation), Lacquer/Sumac.
