Uses:
|
By metobolism degradation, ethephone is converted into ethylene which can help the plant's fruit to reach maturity more quickily. Ethephon is applied as plant growth regulator in rice, wheat, cotton, coffee, banana, and tobacco, also used as rubber and sumac accelerator. Cotton is the most important single crop use for ethephon. It initiates fruiting over a period of several weeks, promotes early concentrated boll opening, and enhances defoliation to facilitate and improve efficiency of scheduled harvesting. |
