Uses

Labelled (2-Chloroethyl)phosphonic acid. Ethephon D4 (2-Chloroethyl-1,1,2,2 D4) is the most widely used plant growth regulator. Ethephon is often used on wheat, coffee, tobacco, cotton, and rice in order to help the plant's fruit reach maturity more quickly. The toxicity of Ethephon is actually very low, and any Ethephon used on the plant is converted very quickly to ethylene.
