1-Methylcyclopropene Usage
-
Post-Harvest Fruit & Vegetable Preservation :
-
Used for ripening control and preservation during the cold-chain transport of tropical or subtropical fruits, and for gas fumigation treatment in cold storage and controlled-atmosphere storage facilities; it prevents apple superficial scald, inhibits softening and browning, and extends the cold storage shelf life.
-
-
Floriculture & Cut Flowers:
-
Anti-Senescence for Cut Flowers: Prevent flower drop, yellowing leaves, and wilting in cut flowers—such as carnations and roses—caused during transportation.
