Ethephon 39% SL (Soluble Liquid)

Mode of Action:
Ethephon is an ethylene-releasing plant growth regulator. After being absorbed by the plant, it decomposes to release ethylene, a natural plant hormone that regulates fruit ripening, flowering, abscission, boll opening, and plant growth. It promotes synchronized crop maturity and improves harvesting efficiency.
