PRODUCT INFORMATION
For ground application only. Do not apply this product with aerial equipment. Apply ETHEPHON 3.9% S&O spray solution within 4 hours after mixing. Mix only the amount of spray you plan to use immediately. DO NOT save unused diluted spray solutions as they will not be as effective as fresh solutions. Plants sprayed with ETHEPHON 3.9% S&O often flower 7 to 10 days earlier than untreated. Therefore pollen source plants should be seeded prior to seed parent to insure adequate pollen availability for hybrid seed production. Temporary growth inhibition resulting from shortened internodes may be observed.

FLOWER INDUCTION OF BROMELIADS
A foliar spray of ETHEPHON 3.9% S&O initiates flowering of ornamental bromeliads such as ANANAS, AECHMEA, NEOREGELIA, VRIESIA, and BILLBERGIA.

HYBRID SEED PRODUCTION
A foliar spray of ETHEPHON 3.9% S&O Plant Growth Regulator will modify sex expression and flowering pattern of cucumbers and squash to facilitate hybrid seed production. Do not use on cucumbers or squash to be harvested for fresh or processed markets.
