Technical content
ETHREL (Ethephon 39 SL (39% w/w)
Features
Improve coloration and accelerates uniform ripening of fruits like pineapple, mango tomato.
Helps in breaking alternate bearing of mango and induces profuse flowering.
Usage
Ethrel Growth Promoter Mode of Action
Ethrel is plant growth regulator with systemic properties. It penetrates into the plant tissues, and is translocated and progressively decomposed to ethylene, which positively affects the growth process.
Crops and Stage of application:
Mango (for breaking alternate bearing tendencies): First spray in mid-October or early November total 5 spray at fortnightly interval
Mango (for flower induction): Commencing from early November total 5 sprays at weekly interval
Mango (post-harvest treatment): Dip mature fruits in the solution for uniform ripening. One treatment is required
Pineapple (for flower induction): 30-37 leaf stage or 10-12 months. One spray is required
Coffee (Arabica& Robusta): For uniform ripening of berries, one spray at fly picking stage when 10-15% of berries have ripened
Tomato (post-harvest treatment): Post-harvest treatment can be done bydipping once
Rubber: March, August, September, November (four applications) brushing once in two months on the tapping cut of the bark.
