Ethephon is an organophosphorus plant growth regulator. It can promote all kinds of melons and fruits, such as bananas, citrus, tomatoes, watermelons, etc., can promote rubber, lacquer and other spit, can promote early opening of female flowers, open female flowers, can be used for cotton, tobacco ripening, and inhibition Plant growth, making plants shorter, breaking seed dormancy and other effects. The cotton was sprayed with 40% ethephon 15-22.5 g/100 m2 in the first half of the morning frost. The banana is treated with 0.2 to 2 g/L of ethephon solution to ripen.
Ethephon is a plant growth regulator with plant hormones that promote emulsion secretion, accelerate ripening, shedding, aging and promote the physiological effects of flowering. Under certain conditions, ethephon not only releases ethylene by itself, but also induces the production of ethylene by plants. Applied to the production of natural rubber, benzoin and raw lacquer, it has a significant increase in production. Ethylene is used to promote cotton early maturity, concentrate boll opening, increase harvesting of tidbits, improve grade, and facilitate mechanization of cotton cultivation; it can also be used for ripening of bananas and tomatoes, ripening of early rice, yellowing of tobacco leaves, regulation of pineapple, tea de-flowering, cucumber, etc. Sex transformation of melon flowers, wheat killing and coloring of apples and citrus.
