EXTRA PHONETOP π¨π³
Ethephon (48%)
πΏProduct Features :
-
A plant growth regulator from the growth inhibitor group, which works by generating ethylene gas inside plant cells. This accelerates ripening, increases fruit size, improves fruit quality, and enhances color development.
-
Formulated as a water-soluble solution, easy to use, environmentally safe, and non-toxic to humans. It transforms fruit color from green to the characteristic ripening color.
-
Accelerates ripening processes by stimulating the formation of proteins and amino acids, and is effective even at low concentrations.
-
Has systemic properties, penetrating leaf tissues and moving within the plant. At pH 6.5β6.8, it begins to hydrolyze into ethylene gas, phosphorus ion, and chloride ion. The released ethylene then acts on plant cells, activating enzymatic reactions that drive the plant into the ripening stage.
-
Ethylene also inhibits auxin transport within the plant and stimulates enzymes responsible for chlorophyll degradation, leading to leaf yellowing and senescence, while promoting ripening.
-
The spray solution should be adjusted to pH 4 using an acidifier such as phosphoric acid (approx. 0.5 ml per liter of water) before adding Fontop, to prevent loss of the compound by volatilization.
-
It is recommended to spray calcium 24 hours after treatment at a rate of 2β3 ml/L, following the application of Fontop, to prevent fruit drop.
-
The product must be sprayed immediately after preparation, and should not be stored for the next day. No other products should be added to the spray tank after preparation.
