The message
from "michael adams" contains these words:

Commercial growers use acetylene gas which is also given off
by ripening fruit, bananas especially.


Not enough hydrogen.

Eyhylene (heavy carburetted Hydrogen - C2H2) is used for ripening
tomatoes - by some producers. Acetylene is used for welding - (CH2)
