What is Ethephon Environmental Risk Assessment about?
Ethephon degrades rapidly in the environment through hydrolysis and microbial degradation. Field studies show it dissipates within 7-25 days. Toxicity studies find it is practically non-toxic to slightly toxic to birds, mammals, fish, and invertebrates. It may pose more risk to semi-aquatic plants, especially in North Carolina. To mitigate this, maximum application rates were reduced for some crops. The product label will require a statement not to apply directly to water or wetlands.
