Application

Ethephon (2-Chloroethylphosphonic acid), a widely used plant growth regulator that induces scenescence and fruiting may be used to study its properties as a plant growth regulator, phosphorylating agent and as a butyrylcholinesterase inhibitor. Ethephon may be used as a reference compound in procedures designed to detect ethephon in biological materials.
