Florel Brand Plant Growth Regulator

Florel Brand Plant Growth Regulator is based on the chemical Ethephon. It is widely used in agriculture as a ripening agent. Florel is registered to control nuisance fruit in ornamental trees & shrubs such as: apple, buckeye, crab-apple, carob, cottonwood, elm, flowering pear, horse chestnut, liquid amber (sweet gum), maple, oak, olive, pine, sour orange, & sycamore trees.

Florel breaks down into ethylene, a naturally occurring compound, in the plant. When a plant is under stress, it produces ethylene. If the plant is in bloom when excess ethylene is produced, the first symptom is blossom abortion. This is how Florel works; it causes the plant to abort its blossoms.
