Abstract: Herein are disclosed a tillering promoter for a plant comprising an amino acid, especially proline, or inosine in addition thereto, as effective ingredient(s), and a method for tillering promotion for a plant wherein the tillering promoter is especially applied onto the leaf surfaces, in accordance with which are provided a tillering promoter for a plant which enables the reduction of the amount of fertilizer hitherto used in a large amount and the maintenance of a satisfactory green state by promoting the tillering of a plant, especially lawn grass without requiring the application of pesticides and plant hormones, also exhibits growth promotion and coloring promotion of leaves, is not a chemical fertilizer, and does not adversely affect the environment and men and beasts, and a method for applying the same.

Abstract: In this application is disclosed a growth promoter for gramineous plants such as lawns and the like, and the like, which comprises, as the active ingredient, serine alone or both serine and inosine. The growth promoter is not a chemical fertilizer and does not adversely affect the environment and humans and animals.

Abstract: The present invention discloses an inosine. L-arginine salt, compositions containing the salt, and methods of using the salt and said compositions for cell activation and/or plant growth promotion. The salt can be stored and transported as a solid and dissolves quickly and efficiently when needed.

Abstract: Herein is disclosed a withering-preventing and quick-acting nutrition supplementing agent for a gramineous or the like plant such as a lawn grass or the like which agent comprises, as the effective ingredient (s), proline alone or both proline and inosine concurrently, according to which a withering preventing and quick-acting nutrition supplementing agent which is not a chemical fertilizer and does not adversely affect environment and humans and animals, as well as a method for applying the same, can be provided.

Abstract: The present invention provides an epoxy resin composition comprising: (a) an epoxy resin having two or more epoxy groups in each molecule; (b) a phenolic resin composition comprising a condensation product of: (i) a phenol; (ii) a compound having a triazine ring; and (iii) an aldehyde, the mixture or condensation product being substantially free from any unreacted aldehydes, or methylol groups; (c) a rubber component; and (d) a curing accelerator. The epoxy resin composition has minute protrusions having a maximum height (Ry) .ltoreq.1.0 .mu.m, formed on its surface by thermosetting at or above 80.degree. C. The invention also provides a process for manufacturing a multilayer printed-wiring board of the build-up type which has a formed copper plating layer.
