Ethephon + INFUZE: Better Penetration for Effective Grape Defoliation
In grapes, Ethephon is a Plant Growth Regulator that, when used at the appropriate stage, promotes physiological processes associated with leaf senescence and abscission. For effective foliar application, proper wetting, spreading, coverage, deposition and penetration of the spray on the leaf surface are important.
How does INFUZE help?
INFUZE is a Citrus Peel Extract-based spray adjuvant powered by advanced silicon-based adjuvant technology sourced from Momentive Performance USA.
INFUZE improves the spreading, wetting, deposition and uniform coverage of the spray solution on the plant surface. It also helps support the penetration and foliar uptake of compatible products such as Ethephon into the leaf.
With better spreading and penetration, INFUZE helps achieve more uniform delivery of Ethephon across the treated canopy, supporting a more uniform defoliation response.
The Science in Simple Terms
INFUZE → Better spreading + coverage → Better Ethephon penetration and foliar uptake → Effective delivery of Ethephon → Supports uniform defoliation response.
INFUZE in Grape Defoliation
When used as a compatible tank-mix adjuvant with Ethephon, INFUZE helps improve spray performance by enhancing wetting, spreading, deposition and penetration. This can support more efficient delivery of Ethephon to the leaf surface and into the leaf.
Dose
For Plant Growth Regulators, including Ethephon: 100–150 ml INFUZE per 100 litres of spray solution.
Method of Use
Fill the spray tank with approximately 90% of the required water. Add INFUZE and mix thoroughly. Then add the remaining water and proceed with spraying. Follow the label recommendations of the Ethephon product for dose, timing and crop stage.
Important Note
INFUZE is a spray adjuvant designed to improve spreading, coverage, deposition and support foliar penetration and uptake of compatible agrochemical products. Always follow the registered product label and recommended application guidelines. Check compatibility before tank mixing.
INFUZE: Better Spreading. Better Penetration. Better Ethephon Delivery.
