1-methylcyclopropene 1 MCP 3.5%

1-Methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) is a Plant Growth Regulator that has been used for decades to improve the quality and shelf life of fruits, vegetables, flowers, and other horticultural crops. It is a synthetic analog of the naturally occurring Plant Hormone ethylene, and has been used to delay ripening, reduce senescence, and improve postharvest storage life of many types of produce. 1-MCP has been found to be effective in controlling the ripening process of a variety of fruits and vegetables, including apples, bananas, strawberries and tomatoes.
