Higrow is a plant growth regulator containing the active ingredient ethephon, which is used to induce flowering, enlarge fruit size, increase crop yields, and induce ripening in fruits. It works by releasing ethylene, a plant hormone. Higrow can be used on crops like mango, pineapple, tomato, coffee, and rubber. For mango, Higrow dip treatments enhance ripening and quality by improving fruit pulp color. For coffee, Higrow increases harvest yields. For tomato, Higrow stimulates even ripening and decreases post-harvest losses. Higrow is also used for latex stimulation in rubber and accelerating maturity and fruit drop in pineapple.

Higrow is used for Inducing owering,
Enlarging Fruit size, Increasing the yield
out of the crop and Inducing the ripening
in the fruits of Mango, Pineapple, Tomato,
Coffee, Rubber. This is a PGR with effective
Hormone actions and defoliants; ethylene
releases. Ethrel is a plant hormone for
inducing owering. It is used for inducing
ripening. It enlarges the fruit size It
increases the yieldof the crop.

Mango has been grown in India since long and is considered to be king of fruits. Its mention has been made in Sanskrit literature as
Amra. Alexander the great found a mango garden in Indus valley in 327 B.C. Ameer Khurso saint and poet from Turkoman wrote a
poem on mango as early as 1330 A.D. Akbar the great (1556-1605) planted one lac mango trees in his bagh, which was named as Lakh
Bagh.
Mango fruits require ripening treatment after harvest to hasten ripening and develop ideal eating quality. Present HPM’s
investigations were carried out to elucidate the potential of ethephon as postharvest dip treatment for enhancement of ripening
and quality characteristics of different types of mango fruits. Higrow applications exhibited enhancement in colour attributes of
fruit pulp in terms of improved redness or yellowness and chroma. The results indicated that dipping mango fruits in higrow

Growing coffee provides employment and is
an important monetary source in rural areas.
Apart from this direct impact on livelihoods
of farming families, coffee cultivation offers
several other advantages. After drying,
coffee can be stored and effectively used as
savingsforseveralmonths.
At 15 days post-application, higrow
treatment increased the harvest from 15% of
the yearly total harvest to 33%. Fruit removal
force is reduced by 30–50% and the ratio

The tomato is botanicaly known as Lycopersicum
esculentum belongs to the family Solanacae. The fruits are
harvested as red for consumption. It has prominent place in
humen food. Tomato is one of the popular, nutritive and
important vegetable crops in India which is receiving
increased attention of the growers and consumers and
made its position within few of the highest cultivated
vegetables. Its food value is very rich because of higher
contents of vitamins A, B and C and also minerals like
calcium which promote good health. November-
February is the period when congenial atmosphere
remains for tomato cultivation in India. Although
tomato plants can grow under a wide range of climatic
conditions, they are extremely sensitive to hot and wet
growing conditions, the weather which prevails in the
summerseasoninIndia.
Higrow is an ethylene releasing compound, is known as
a plant growth regulator which stimulates ripe evenly
fruit, decreasing preservation time and minimizing
post-harvest losses of tomato. Role of Higrow is

Rubber is an important commercial agricultural
product, collected from the latex of the tree
Hevea brasiliensis. It is an indigenous tree of
tropical rainforest of Amazon basin of Brazil.
Rubber is useful because of its invaluable
qualities such as elasticity, resistance to water
andnon-conductionof electricity.
Pineapple is one of the commercially important
fruit crops of India. Total annual world
production is estimated at 14.6 million tonnes of
fruits. India is the fth largest producer of
pineapple with an annual output of about 1.2
milliontonnes.
Higrow has been increasingly
utilized in a number of important
crops, including latex stimulation
of rubber , acceleration of maturity
and abscission of pineapple
