Every farmer looks for chemicals used for the ripening of fruits and high flower induction for a good, quality harvest. Bayer’s Ethrel® is one such unique plant growth regulator. Ethrel® contains ethephon, which is a versatile product that has different functions in different crops. Ethrel® promotes uniform ripening in crops like coffee, mango, and tomato, flower induction in pineapple, and defoliation in pomegranate, contributing to a successful harvest.

Acting as a systemic plant growth regulator, Ethrel® penetrates the plant tissues, undergoes translocation, and slowly decomposes into ethylene.

This ethylene production positively influences the growth process, contributing to improved fruit quality, ripening, and overall plant development.
