2-Chloroethyl)phosphonic acid (Ethephon) is the most widely used plant growth regulator. Ethephon is often used on wheat, coffee,

tobacco, cotton, and rice in order to help the plant’s fruit reach mat urity more quickly. The toxicity of Ethephon is actually very low,

and any Ethephon used on the plant is converted very quickly to ethylene.
