Precautions:
Ethephon is toxic to the human body, so wear protective equipment when using it. When used for ripening, the appropriate use time and concentration should be determined according to the degree of maturity of the fruit and the characteristics of the variety, otherwise it may lead to a decline in fruit quality, such as poor taste and poor storage resistance. Ethephon will decompose rapidly when it encounters alkaline substances and cannot be mixed with alkaline pesticides or fertilizers.
