Description
Mode of Action:
Ethephon is readily absorbed by plant tissues. Once inside the plant, Ethephon reacts with naturally occurring hydroxy compounds, triggering the release of ethylene gas. The released ethylene binds to specific receptor glycoproteins within the plant. This binding triggers a cascade of physiological and biochemical reactions, accelerating various processes within the plant. Ethephon’s activity specifically stimulates bleeding (gummosis), leading to increased latex flow. The enhanced latex flow directly translates into higher rubber production potential.
Benefits of Ethephon Technical
- Promising Gum Inducer: Ethephon is the leading compound among gum inducers, offering a reliable and effective solution for boosting gum production.
- Increased Latex Flow: Ethephon stimulates bleeding (gummosis) within the plant, promoting increased latex flow, a crucial component of rubber production.
- Enhanced Yield: By promoting gummosis, Ethephon directly translates to higher rubber yields, maximizing your production output.
