Pineapple flowering induction
Helps trigger flowering in mature pineapple plants so the whole block can move together.
Flowering induction in pineapple and ripening support where the label allows.

Confirm the exact formulation, label and available pack sizes before purchase.
Ethephon is the product behind Chris Mbena Agro’s off-season pineapple strategy. It is used by growers seeking flowering induction in mature pineapple blocks and, where the product label allows, ripening support in other crops. Timing, crop stage and correct mixing matter, so first-time users should ask before spraying.
Helps trigger flowering in mature pineapple plants so the whole block can move together.
Uniform blocks are easier to manage, spray and harvest with better planning and less waste.
Many growers apply around March and aim for September harvests when supply is lower and prices can be stronger.
For crops and situations allowed on the label, Ethephon can support even ripening under guidance.
Use only on mature, healthy crops and only where the specific product label and local regulations allow. If you are not sure, Chris Mbena Agro can help review the crop stage and intended use before purchase.
