Answer to Question 1

By temporarily turning off ethylene production, the following benefits can be achieved:
 Improved harvest
 Reduced fruit drop
 A wider harvest window that may enhance fruit size and color
 Improved storage potential and better fruit condition after harvest
 Reduction in the incidence of physiological disorders associated with fruit
senescence such as water core and superficial scald

Answer to Question 2

 More uniform and compact plants.
 Better plant appearance (better color, more side shoots, and flowers).
 Plants transplant better because of improved root systems.
 Improved shelf life.
 Plants withstand drought and transport stresses better.
 In the case of turfgrasses, plant growth retardants reduce frequency of mowing, and
improve turf density, lateral shoot development, and turf color.
