Abstract: A composition for coating plant seeds that can promote the initial plant growth and/or that can promote the plant growth under stress conditions is provided. The composition for coating plant seeds include glutathione, an amino acid, and an agriculturally acceptable carrier. The glutathione may be oxidized glutathione, and the amino acid may be L-tryptophan. Coated seeds include plant seeds and, on the surface of the seeds, a composition including glutathione and an amino acid.

Abstract: The present invention relates to chitinolytic enzymes, and in particular for a use thereof in plant protection. The invention also relates to a nucleic acid encoding a chitinolytic enzyme a method for producing a chitinolytic enzyme, a plant comprising a chitinolytic enzyme or a nucleic acid encoding the same, a composition of at least one chitinolytic enzyme. The invention relates in particular to the use of a chitinolytic enzyme or a composition comprising the same as a plant protection agent and to a method of protecting plants from pests.

Abstract: The present invention relates to anti-frost proteins, and in particular for a use thereof in plant protection. The invention also relates to a nucleic acid encoding a anti-frost protein a method for producing a anti-frost protein, a plant comprising a anti-frost protein or a nucleic acid encoding the same, a composition of at least one anti-frost protein. The invention relates in particular to the use of an anti-frost protein or a composition comprising the same as a plant protection agent and to a method of protecting plants from pests and/or abiotic stress.

Abstract: Methods for controlling and/or treating of phytopathogenic fungi causing soybean rust infections in plants include applying a fungicidally effective amount of a composition to the plants, and/or seeds of the plants, or soil in which the plants are growing, or soil in which the plants are desired to grow. The composition includes zoxamide, optionally in combination with one or more additional active ingredients selected from the group consisting of strobilurins and/or triazole compounds. The phytopathogenic fungi are selected from P. pachyrhizi or P. meibomiae. The zoxamide is applied in an amount of about 10 g/ha to about 2000 g/ha.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds which are of use in the field of agriculture as herbicides. The invention also relates to methods of using said compounds and compositions comprising said compounds.

Abstract: The present invention relates to benzimidazole and benzotriazole compounds which are of use in the field of agriculture as fungicides, wherein the compounds include benzimidazole and benzotriazole compounds having a structure according to formula 1, or an agronomically acceptable salt or N-oxide thereof:

Abstract: The present invention relates to the compositions comprising algae, specifically Spirulina platensis and Chlorella, and their use for the treatment of crops, such as fruits, vegetables and arable crops against heat stress, especially sunburn.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of silthiofam for the treatment of soybean rust and agricultural compositions thereof. The invention further relates to a method of controlling, preventing and/or treating of phytopathogenic fungi causing soybean rust.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of 9-tricosene as a pest control agent against Drosophila suzukii, where in 9-tricosene inhibits mating. The compound 9-tricosene can be used alone or mixed with other compounds in order to control Drosophila suzukii in a more efficient manner. In addition, this present invention provides the use of a dispenser and specific spraying methods with 9-tricosene.

Abstract: S-abscisic acid is used for promoting fruit set and/or for producing parthenocarpic fruits in useful plants. S-abscisic acid is also used as a growth inhibitor in useful plants. Methods are provided for treating useful plants with S-abscisic acid for these purposes.
