Product introduction

1-Methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) is a cyclopropene derivative used as a synthetic plant growth regulator. It is structurally related to the natural plant hormone ethylene and it is used commercially to slow down the ripening of fruit and to help maintain the freshness of cut flowers.

Mechanism of action

Ethylene exists as a gas and it acts at trace levels throughout the life of a plant by stimulating or regulating various processes such as the ripening of climacteric fruit, the opening of flowers, and the shedding of leaves. The mechanism of action of 1-MCP involves its tightly binding to the ethylene receptor in plants, thereby blocking the effects of ethylene.

How to use

Mix it with a specific amount of water, and then leave the solution in closed indoor sites.

It will release the effective ingredient into the air, working on the target goods. The higher the temperature is, the shorter time it works. Generally speaking, the working time should be 8~48 hours.
