Monterey Florel Brand Growth Regulator - 1 Gal

Contact Ethephon Growth Regulator for Ornamental Plant Management - 1 Gal

Unwanted fruit, uneven branching and poorly timed flowering create extra work in ornamental plantings. This contact growth regulator uses ethephon, which breaks down into ethylene inside the plant. Ethylene is a naturally occurring compound, and a plant in bloom that receives an excess of it may abort its blossoms. The label lists 3.9% ethephon, or 0.33 lbs per gallon.

The 1 gallon size suits growers who treat a modest number of trees, shrubs or potted ornamentals, and anyone testing the product before buying more. It is sold each, so you can order only what your planting schedule needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How does this growth regulator work?
A: Ethephon breaks down into ethylene inside the plant. A plant in bloom that receives excess ethylene may abort its blossoms. This is how the product reduces unwanted flowering and fruit.

Q: What does ethephon mean?
A: Ethephon is the active ingredient, chemically (2-chloroethyl) phosphonic acid. It releases ethylene as it breaks down in plant tissue. Ethylene is a plant hormone that plants also make when under stress.

Q: How much ethephon is in one gallon?
A: The label states 0.33 lbs of ethephon per gallon, at a 3.9% concentration. Use these figures when you plan treatment volumes.

Q: Is it a nutrient or fertilizer?
A: No. It is a growth regulator that changes how a plant flowers and fruits, and it does not supply nutrients. Use it alongside your normal feeding program.

Q: What safety steps should I follow?
A: Read and follow the label before every use. Wear the protective equipment it specifies, and avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Keep the container out of reach of children.
