SIKLODEFOL — plant growth regulator based on ethephon

SIKLODEFOL is a plant growth regulator based on ethephon, designed to manage physiological processes, accelerate ripening, and improve harvesting efficiency, especially in cotton production.

Active Ingredient

• Ethephon — 72%

Plant growth regulator that releases ethylene in plant tissues.

Mode of Action

• penetrates the plant and releases ethylene
• ethylene regulates ripening and senescence processes
• accelerates development and opening of plant organs
• promotes uniform maturation

Its action is based on ethylene as a plant hormone controlling physiological processes.

Purpose

• acceleration of ripening
• stimulation of cotton boll opening
• crop uniformity
• preparation for harvest

Benefits

• accelerates ripening
• improves crop uniformity
• increases harvesting efficiency
• reduces need for multiple pickings

Result

• faster cotton boll opening
• earlier harvest timing
• possibility of single-pass harvesting under favorable conditions
• reduced labor and harvesting costs

Application

• foliar spraying during vegetation
• at stages requiring ripening acceleration

Crops

• cotton
• other crops requiring ripening management

Compatibility

• compatibility with other products should be tested
• physical and chemical compatibility test recommended

Why SIKLODEFOL

Provides effective control over ripening processes and improves harvesting efficiency in intensive farming systems.
