About Ethephon 39% SL

Ethephon 39% SL is a highly effective, soluble liquid plant growth regulator (PGR)not a nutrient fertilizer or pesticidethat releases ethylene to accelerate ripening, enhance fruit color, and stimulate flowering. Key benefits include uniform ripening in tomatoes and mangoes, improved color in fruits, higher latex yield in rubber, and faster boll opening in cotton.

Key Benefits of Ethephon 39% SL:

Uniform Ripening & Maturity: Accelerates uniform maturity in fruits such as bananas, mangoes, pineapples, and tomatoes, facilitating easier and faster harvesting.
Color Enhancement: Significantly improves the coloration of fruits (e.g., tomatoes, mangoes), boosting their market value.
Flowering Induction: Promotes flowering in specific crops like pineapple and helps manage the "alternate bearing" tendency in mangoes.
Crop-Specific Benefits: Increases latex flow in rubber trees and promotes better boll opening in cotton for earlier picking.
Harvest Management: Allows for targeted, pre-harvest leaf shedding in crops like pomegranates to streamline the harvest.
Stress Management: Helps crops withstand environmental stress like drought or heat, contributing to overall plant resilience.

Dosage & Application Tips:

Dosage: Typically, 150-500 ml/acre, depending on the crop. For example, 300-500 ml/acre is recommended for bananas.
Application: It can be used as a spray, but it is often recommended to use the AgriBegri Ethep PGR or Best Agrolife Sehar for direct application for specific purposes like rubber latex increase.
Compatibility: While it can be mixed with many fungicides and pesticides, always conduct a, Hifield Ethefon jar test to ensure safety.
