Use of 2,4-D in Mixture with Ethephon and Calcium Carbide in Pineapple Crop

Abstract: The 2-Chloroethylphosphonic acid (ethephon) and calcium carbide are used to induce and synchronize the flowering of pineapple crop. Some farmers have used the 2,4-D herbicide in combination with these flowering inducers. This practice is based on the hypothesis that 2,4-D would act as a growth regulator, increasing fruit size and weight. The objectives of this work was to verify if the use of 2,4-D, associated to calcium carbide or ethephon, influences the productivity and quality of the pineapple fruits and, … Show more

“…In recent years, a series of studies examined the high yield and resilience to adversity of pineapple, including various studies on flowering [ 43 46 ], reduction of browning [ 47 50 ], quality and harvest [ 51 – 54 ], growth and ripening changes [ 55 ], salt tolerance [ 56 ], tissue culture and breeding [ 57 – 60 ], growth of seedlings [ 61 ], irrigation of cultivation [ 62 ], the effects of drought on growth [ 39 ], and the effects of high temperatures postharvest [ 63 ]. Despite pineapples being drought-tolerant, extreme and persistent drought exert negative impacts on yield, requiring attention to be paid to this issue.…”
