Difference Between Ethylene and Ethephon

Ethylene is a naturally occurring plant hormone (gas) that regulates various physiological processes like fruit ripening, flower senescence, and leaf abscission. It is used in agriculture to promote ripening and improve fruit uniformity.
Ethephon, on the other hand, is a synthetic plant growth regulator that releases ethylene gas when applied to plants. Ethephon is used in crops to trigger processes such as fruit ripening, flower induction, and promoting uniform boll opening in cotton. The main difference is that ethylene is a gas, while ethephon is a liquid formulation that breaks down into ethylene when absorbed by plants.

Active Ingredient in Ethephon

The active ingredient in ethephon is 2-chloroethylphosphonic acid. This compound releases ethylene gas upon breakdown, making it effective for agricultural uses like ripening and growth regulation.
