The authors describe a gas chromatographic method for determing Ethephone residues. Studies on the residual behaviour of Ethephon on sweet cherries showed that the fruits contained 0.88, 1.45 and 1.83 p.p.m. of Ethephon after applications of 0.05, 0.075 and 0.1% Flordimex mixture, respectively. When the same doses were applied to sour cherries, the fruits contained 0.54, 1.12 and 1.44 p.p.m. of Ethephon; and the juices, 0.81, 1.36 and 1.77 p.p.m.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
