-
Ethephon-[(2-chloroethyl) phosphonic acid]-which is from
the class of organophosphorus is known as ethylene generator and plant
growth regulator.
-
Ethephon is a Plant
growth regulator with systemic properties. Penetrates into the plant
tissues, and is decomposed to ethylene, which affects the growth
processes.
-
Ethephon is a plant
growth regulator. It promotes pre-harvest ripening in apples, currants,
blackberries, blueberries, cranberries, morello cherries, citrus fruit,
figs, tomatoes, sugar beet and fodder beet seed crops, coffee,
capsicum.
-
Ethephon is easily
converted into ethylene and has the same harmful effects. Though State
Food and Drugs Control Administration (FDCA) banned the use of ethephon
last year in India, fruit traders have now resorted to bethylene.
-
Ethephon is an
organophosphonate as opposed to an organophosphate. It is structurally
different from and exhibits different physical/ chemical properties than
traditional organophosphate compounds.
-
Ethylene is known to
cause damage to the neurological system, affects the eyes, skin, lungs,
memory and leads to prolonged hypoxia (lack of oxygen supply).
-
Ethephon is of extreme
to high toxicity to aquatic plants, high to
moderate toxicity to
algae and low toxicity to fish and aquatic
invertebrates,moderate
toxicity to earthworms.
-
Ethephon is of low
persistence in soil and of low mobility in soil.
-
Ethephon exhibits low
acute toxicity via the oral (Toxicity Category III), inhalation
(Toxicity Category IV), and dermal (Toxicity Category III) routes of
exposure. Ethephon is dermally corrosive and is a skin and eye irritant
(Toxicity Category I) but not a dermal sensitizer.
-
Ethephon uses in various
fields such as to increase fruit setting and yield in cucumbers;
to improve the sturdiness of onion seed crops; to hasten the yellowing
of mature tobacco leaves.
-
Several studies have
since proved the ability of ethephon
(ethrel) to alter sex expression
in several members of the Cucurbitaceae.
-
Ethephon was effective
in increasing pistillate flower number in monoecious
inbreds, but had
little effect on gynoecious inbreds.
