Treatment with growth regulators such as gibberellic acid, benzyladenine or
ethephon can be used to help promote germination.
Research investigating other methods to increase seed production through self-pollination and use of
ethephon (a growth regulator) did not work consistently, which implies successful seed production to local pollinators (Krueger et al.
Ethephon improved pigmentation but had no effect on cayenne pepper fruit yield in southern New Mexico.

ethephon and nicotinic acid on mycelium and polysaccharide yield in Coprinus comatus of liquid culture.Hubei Agricultural Sciences, vol.
Effect of combination treatment with
ethephon and indole-3-butyric acid on adventitious rooting of Pinus thunbergii cuttings.
Pineapple flowering was artificially induced 13 months after planting, by applying ETHREL (240 g [L.sup.-1] of
Ethephon), a synthetic growth regulator, precursor of the synthesis of ethylene, using a 20-L backpack sprayer.
Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik) Response to plant density, sowing date, phosphorus fertilization and
Ethephon application in the absence of moisture stress.
Ethephon and prohexadione-calcium influence the flowering, early yield, and vegetative growth of young 'Northern Spy' apple trees.
al; (2009) described that plant height and growth can be increased through exogenous application of different synthetic compounds like chlormequat, benzyladenine and
ethephon. Photosynthetic pigments can be enhanced in wheat by exogenous application of plant growth regulators (Sabo et.
