Plant growth regulator

Flower on purpose. Harvest with timing.

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.

BENEFITS

Why farmers buy Ethephon from us.

Pineapple flowering induction

Helps trigger flowering in mature pineapple plants so the whole block can move together.

Synced flowering and harvest

Uniform blocks are easier to manage, spray and harvest with better planning and less waste.

Better market timing

Many growers apply around March and aim for September harvests when supply is lower and prices can be stronger.

Ripening support

For crops and situations allowed on the label, Ethephon can support even ripening under guidance.
