The shoot stimulator is preferably a synthetic plant hormone solution such as a solution of 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid. The apical shoots are then harvested and sterilized in a cleansing solution before treating with the root stimulator. The root stimulator consists of an auxin in combination with Benzylaminopurine, thiamine, chelated iron, and mono sodium glutamate. The treated shoots are then planted to produce new plants.

  • Publication number: 20110099898
    Abstract: The invention is related to a method for stimulating carbon fixation in plants by applying an aqueous solution of an oligo-carrageenan selected from the group consisting of kappa1, kappa2, lambda or iota, obtained by acid hydrolysis from commercial pure carrageenans extracted from seaweed. Particularly, a method for stimulating carbon fixation in plant by increasing the net photosynthesis and the activity of the enzyme 1,5 biphophate carboxylase/oxygenase ribluose (Rubisco) in plants. More particularly, it is disclosed a method for stimulating carbon fixation in tobacco, beet or other commercial variety. Even more particularly, a method for stimulating carbon fixation on plants applying by spraying an aqueous solution of such oligo-carrageenans on the plant or parts thereof.
