BASF

ETHEPHON 6 (EPA Reg. No. 6330-250) by BASF is a plant growth regulator widely used in agriculture to enhance ripening, facilitate uniform harvest, and improve crop quality. ETHEPHON 6 releases ethylene upon application, promoting processes such as fruit maturation, flowering, and boll opening in a variety of crops. Key Uses and Target Pests: - Cotton: Promotes boll opening and defoliation for easier harvest; aids in the control of pests such as boll weevil by facilitating timely, efficient harvest. - Tomatoes & Other Fruits: Accelerates and synchronizes ripening, reducing issues from late-season pests (e.g. tomato fruitworm, stink bugs) by allowing harvest before pest pressure peaks. - Tobacco: Enhances leaf ripening, limiting late-season damage from caterpillars and aphids. Application Timing: Apply ETHEPHON 6 at the appropriate maturity stage recommended on the label for each specific crop. Application is typically made: - When a desirable percentage of fruit or bolls have reached physiological maturity - In advance of anticipated harvest to synchronize ripening and shedding - Prior to or at early signs of pest invasion for maximum protection and quality Always follow the specific application rates, crop recommendations, and safety precautions as listed on the ETHEPHON 6 label.
