Cautions:
1. Ethephon TC is stable. But its dilute solution is in a lower stablity. So it is better prepare it when need.
2. Ethephon is acid and will react with alkali. So please do not apply the Ethephon together with the alkaline pesticide or do not dilute the Ethephon by alkaline water.
3. Apply the Ethephon at the temperature above 20oC. Lower temperature will reduce the decompse effect.
4. Please spray again if it rains within 6 hours after our spraying.
5. Ethephon is low toxic. But It has the irrational for skin and eye. So please avoid to touch the ethephon directly. Especially do not splash the ethephon liquid into eyes.
