Ethon Bethefon

Ethephon 39% SL

Product Overview:

Ethon Bethefon is a versatile plant growth regulator (PGR) with systemic properties, designed to enhance the coloration and accelerate uniform ripening of fruits like pineapple, mango, and tomato. It also plays a pivotal role in breaking alternate bearing tendencies in mango, inducing profuse flowering, and supporting other specialized agricultural applications such as defoliation in pomegranate and latex yield improvement in rubber.

Key Features:

Enhanced Fruit Quality: Improves coloration and accelerates the uniform ripening of fruits.
Alternate Bearing Breakthrough: Helps overcome alternate bearing tendencies in mango, promoting consistent flowering and fruiting.
Versatility: Effective across a range of crops, from mango and pineapple to rubber and coffee.
Systemic Action: Penetrates plant tissues and converts to ethylene, positively influencing growth processes.

Major Benefits:

Uniform Ripening: Ensures even ripening of fruits like mango, pineapple, coffee berries, and tomato.
Flower Induction: Encourages profuse flowering in mango and pomegranate.
Defoliation Aid: Facilitates better flowering and fruit yield in pomegranate through precise defoliation.
Yield Boost: Enhances latex yield in rubber plantations.
