Description

Ethephon (2-chloroethylphosphonic acid) is the most promising compound among gum inducers. It is a synthetic compound of ethylene, phosphate and chloride ions which is used to enhance gum yield in treated plants. Ethephon formulations are offered in concentrations of 39%, 48% & 72% SL, ensuring convenience and effectiveness in promoting gummosis, which in turn leads to higher rubber production.

 

Ethephon is a plant growth regulator that enters plant tissues & reacts with hydroxy compounds to release ethylene, combines with ethylene receptor glycoprotein in plants, catalyzes physiological metabolism, accelerates plant physiological and biochemical reaction process, stimulates bleeding, increases latex flow & boost yield.

Key Benefits

Improves the growth of the germinating seeds.

Enhance the resistance ability of plants against stress conditions, such as diseases, drought, salt, and cold.

Promotes the growth of lateral buds, produces leaves with a deeper and darker green colour, and increases the number of flowers and fruit produced.

Increases the percentage of fruit set by decreasing the amount of flower and fruit drop.

Enhance and increase the sugar content and quality of the fruit.

Promotes fruit enlargement, delays leaf senescence, and lengthens productivity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQS)

What is Ethephon 39% SL used for?

Ethephon 39% SL is a plant growth regulator (PGR) used to promote uniform crop maturity, improve flowering, induce ripening in selected crops, and regulate plant growth.

How does Ethephon 39% SL work? +

After absorption by the plant, Ethephon releases ethylene, a natural plant hormone that regulates physiological processes such as flowering, ripening, fruit maturity, and abscission.

Which crops can Ethephon 39% SL be used on? +

It is recommended for crops such as cotton, pineapple, tomato, coffee, tobacco, rubber, and other approved crops as per the product label.

Can Ethephon 39% SL improve crop uniformity? +

Yes. It helps synchronize flowering, fruit ripening, or crop maturity, making harvesting more uniform and efficient.

When should Ethephon 39% SL be applied? +

It should be applied at the specific crop growth stage recommended on the product label, as the timing of application is critical for achieving the desired response.
