EthylBloc^™ Tabs and Activator Kit
The negative effects of ethylene are estimated by industry leaders to cause up to 30 percent of all floriculture crop losses, causing colors to dull, leaves and flowers to drop, and aging to accelerate.

EthylBloc^™ Tabs is an ethylene action inhibitor that works naturally with flowers and plants to keep them fresh, from the field during shipping and distribution right through to the consumer. It can be used with cut flowers and potted flowers. EthylBloc^™ technology protects flowers and plants from both internal and external sources of ethylene.

EthylBloc^™ Tabs benefit all segments of the floral and nursery industries, including growers, shippers, wholesalers, bouquet makers, mail order houses and retailers. Suppliers and retailers will be delighted to have more decision making flexibility and less product shrink. Consumers will be delighted that their flowers and plants look better and last longer.

How does it work?
When the EthylBloc^™ Tabs are dissolved in liquid, its active ingredient is released to bind to block ethylene receptors in plant cells, thereby preventing the plant from being damaged by ethylene. Flowers and foliage plants can be treated with EthylBloc technology immediately after harvest, just prior to shipment, upon shipment arrival or just prior to sale. The slow, steady dissolve and release of EthylBloc technology ensures that flowers and plants are thoroughly exposed to its effects within the treatment period. EthylBloc technology leaves no trace or residue after treatment is completed, and is safe for workers¹.
