Features & Benefits

General Information

Cotton:

  • A foliar spray of Ethephon 6 will accelerate the opening of mature unopened cotton bolls and enhance defoliation which can result in an earlier harvest with an increased recoverable yield.
  • Ethephon 6 treatment allows increased efficiency from a once-over harvest.

Tobacco (Flue-cured):

  • A foliar spray of Ethephon 6 promotes early, uniform “yellowing” of mature tobacco.
  • Ethephon 6 reduces curing time, allowing more efficient use of curing bam space, and increased control over harvest schedules.
