Ethrel

Ethrel^® is a growth regulator used in major horticultural crops and cereals. It promotes ripening in tomatoes, reduces curing time and promotes colour development in flue-cured tobacco, accelerates fruit maturity in apples and blueberries and loosens mature fruit from the stem in cherries for easier harvesting. In cereals, Ethrel is used to reduce lodging.

Wheat		Apply when main stem and most of the tillers are between early flag leaf emergence to swollen-boot stage (Z 37 to Z 45). Do not apply if more than 10% of the awns have emerged (Z 49).	0.5 L/ac. (1.25 L/ha)	For optimal disease and insect control, good uniform coverage of the seed-piece is required Seed pieces should be treated immediately after cutting. Apply specified dosage as a diluted spray using equipment that ensures uniform coverage of each seed piece. Apply no more than 150 mL of slurry/100 kg of seed pieces (68 mL/cwt seed). Agitate or stir the slurry solution as needed. Best control of soil-borne and seed-borne Rhizoctonia solani is obtained if the seed piece treatment with Emesto Silver is followed by an in-furrow treatment with Velum^® Rise fungicide/nematicide at registered rates.
