ethylene inhibits growth so how come it is the most widely used plant growth hormone in agriculture?

Dear student,
The most widely used hormone in agriculture is ethylene because it regulates many physiological processes. It initiates seed germination in peanut and is widely used to hasten the fruit ripening which is commercially very beneficial for farmers.

Hope this information will clear your doubts about the ethylene.
Regards
