Description:

AGRIVENTURE ETHEP is a versatile systemic plant growth regulator (PGR) that penetrates plant tissues and decomposes into ethylene, a natural hormone that controls growth, flowering, and ripening. It is widely used in commercial and home farming to improve crop yields and post-harvest quality.

Technical content: Ethephon 39% SL

Key Features & Benefits:

• Accelerated, Uniform Ripening: Promotes even and rapid maturation in fruits like pineapples, mangoes, bananas, tomatoes, and coffee berries. This results in a synchronized harvest, allowing for much easier and more cost-effective picking.
• Enhanced Flowering: Induces profuse, early flowering in crops like pineapples and helps break the “alternate bearing” (irregular fruiting) cycle in mangoes, ensuring more consistent year-over-year yields.
• Improved Color & Size: Boosts the post-harvest color, flavor, and visual marketability of fruits.
• Increased Rubber Yield: Effectively stimulates and prolongs latex flow in rubber trees when applied to tapping cuts.
• Controlled Defoliation & Growth: Aids in timely leaf shedding (abscission) in deciduous trees (like pomegranates) to improve canopy management, while also restraining excessive vegetative growth in crops like cotton.
• Efficient Crop Harvesting: Speeds up boll opening in cotton for timelier and easier picking.
• Systemic Action: Formulated as a soluble liquid (SL) that is easily absorbed, deeply translocated, and long-lasting within the plant.

Crops suitability: Fruits, Vegetables and industrial plants like Rubber and Cotton.

Commonly used for:

• Fruit Ripening: Accelerates and promotes uniform ripening for crops like tomatoes, pineapples, and mangoes (can be used as a post-harvest dip or pre-harvest spray).
• Flower Induction: Stimulates profuse and uniform flowering in pineapple and mango crops.
• Breaking Alternate Bearing: Helps disrupt the alternate-year bearing cycle of mango trees, encouraging more consistent annual yields.
• Latex Stimulation: Widely used in rubber plantations to stimulate and increase the flow of latex from the tree's bark.
• Defoliation: Induces controlled leaf shedding in plants like pomegranates to synchronize growth cycles and prepare for the next harvest.

Mode of entry: Systemic

Mode of action:

• Systemic Penetration: When applied, the liquid is rapidly absorbed into the stems, leaves, or fruit tissues and translocated throughout the plant.
• Ethylene Release: Once inside the plant's cells, the ethephon progressively breaks down, releasing ethylene gas alongside phosphoric acid and chloride.
• Physiological Trigger: The released ethylene binds to cell receptors and accelerates biochemical reactions, initiating changes such as fruit ripening, flower induction, or leaf/fruit drop.

Mode of application: Foliar Spray

Dose: 15ml in 15-liter water
