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.
