Ethephon plant growth regulator is a synthetic plant growth regulator that has been widely used in modern farming practices. It functions by releasing ethylene gas, a natural plant hormone, within the plant tissues. This process has a profound impact on various aspects of plant growth and development.
One of the key applications of ethephon is in promoting fruit ripening. For fruits such as bananas, tomatoes, and apples, ethephon can be applied at the appropriate stage of maturity. It accelerates the ripening process, allowing farmers to harvest and market their produce more efficiently. This is of great economic importance as it helps in synchronizing the supply of fresh fruits to meet market demands. For example, in the case of bananas, which are often transported long distances, the use of ethephon can ensure that they reach the consumers in a ripe and ready - to - eat state.
Ethephon plant growth regulator has a role in enhancing flower induction. In certain ornamental plants and some fruit - bearing trees, it can stimulate the formation of flowers. This is beneficial for increasing the yield of fruits and improving the aesthetic value of ornamental plants. By triggering flower development, it can potentially increase the number of fruits produced per plant, thus contributing to higher productivity.
In addition to fruit - related applications, ethephon is used for plant height control. In cereal crops like wheat and barley, excessive plant height can lead to lodging, which is a major problem causing yield losses. Ethephon can be sprayed on these crops to reduce plant height, making the plants more stable and less likely to fall over. This not only protects the crop from physical damage but also improves the efficiency of harvesting operations.
Manufacturers of ethephon are constantly researching to improve its formulation and efficacy. New formulations are being developed to enhance its stability and ensure more precise release of ethylene within the plants. This research also aims at reducing any potential environmental impacts associated with its use.
The use of ethephon plant growth regulator is a valuable tool in the hands of farmers. It offers a means to optimize crop growth, improve yields, and enhance the quality of agricultural products. As agricultural practices continue to evolve, ethephon is likely to remain an important component in the pursuit of sustainable and efficient farming.
Product DescriptionThis product is a plant growth regulator that promotes the maturity of cotton. It is very stable in an acidic medium. However, when the pH is above 4, it decomposes and releases ethylene. Ethephon enters the plant through the leaves, bark, fruits or seeds of the plant, and then is conducted to the effective part and releases ethylene. It can perform the physiological functions of endogenous hormone ethylene, such as promoting the maturity of cotton and the shedding of leaves, dwarfing plants, changing the ratio of male and female flowers, and promoting the early cracking and linting of cotton bolls.Application- This product should be sprayed on the stems and leaves with 300-500 times liquid during the boll opening period when 70%-80% of cotton bolls are opened, to accelerate the opening of cotton bolls and defoliation. Note to spray evenly.
- This product is suitable for use in dry weather when the temperature is between 16-32°C. If it rains, supplementary application is required. When the temperature is lower than 20°C, the concentration should be appropriately increased.
Precautions- This product decomposes rapidly when encountering alkaline substances. It is prohibited to mix with alkaline pesticides and other substances. It also cannot be diluted with water with strong alkalinity. It should be prepared and used immediately and cannot be stored; otherwise, it will become ineffective.
