Ethephon as a potential abscission agent for table grapes: effects on pre-harvest abscission, fruit quality and residue

Some plant growth regulators, including ethephon, can stimulate abscission of mature grape berries. The stimulation of grape berry abscission reduces fruit detachment force (FDF) and promotes the development of a dry stem scar, both of which could facilitate the production of high quality stemless f...
