Usage

Description

2-(CHLOROETHYL) PHOSPHONIC ACID-D4, also known as Ethephon D4, is a labeled plant growth regulator that is widely used in agriculture. It is a light-yellow oil with unique chemical properties that enable it to promote the maturation of plant fruits more quickly.

Uses

Used in Agriculture:
2-(CHLOROETHYL) PHOSPHONIC ACID-D4 is used as a plant growth regulator for promoting fruit maturation in various crops such as wheat, coffee, tobacco, cotton, and rice. It helps the plant's fruit reach maturity more quickly, leading to improved harvest efficiency and quality.
Used in Ethylene Production:
2-(CHLOROETHYL) PHOSPHONIC ACID-D4 is used as a precursor for ethylene production in plants. The toxicity of Ethephon is very low, and any Ethephon used on the plant is converted very quickly to ethylene, which is a natural plant hormone that regulates various growth processes, including fruit ripening and abscission.
