Ethephon (2-chloroethylphosphonic acid) is the most promising compound among gum inducers. It is synthetic compound of ethylene, phosphate and chloride ions which is used to enhanced gum yield in treated plants. Ethephon formulations are offered in concentrations of 39%, 48% & 72% SL, ensuring convenience and effectiveness in promoting gummosis, which in turn leads to higher rubber production. Benefits of Ethephon 39% SL: •Promotes uniform ripening of fruits, leading to synchronized harvests. •Enhances boll opening in cotton for easier and timely picking. •Stimulates flowering in crops like pineapples for production management. •Assists in pre-harvest preparation by inducing leaf drop where necessary. •Provides flexible crop management solutions across multiple crop species.
