  • Patent number: 11246314
    Abstract: A trichome and pistil maturing bud finisher plant treatment formula to which plants, pollinators, and humans respond favorably but which deters insects and contagions. The formulas include a series of edible spices claimed in specific ratios. The spices comprise food grade products manufactured for human consumption and specifically comprise Garlic, Ginger, Cinnamon, Turmeric, Clove, Black Pepper, Powdered Ancho Chili, Coriander, Cayenne, Cumin, Fenugreek, Nutmeg, and Oregano. In the bud finisher formula, these spices are mixed with potassium bicarbonate in a first container in relative quantities. Meanwhile, the bud finisher formula requires mixing sesame oil with apple cider vinegar, also in a particular ratio. The bud finisher formula matures pistils and trichomes. An alternative bud shield formula excludes the potassium bicarbonate and apple cider vinegar to also mature trichomes but matures pistils at a slower rate. After dilution the plant treatment formula is applied to all surfaces of the plant.

  • Patent number: 11219216
    Abstract: Methods of increasing the tolerance of a plant to an herbicide and seeds for carrying out these methods are provided herein. The methods include treating the seeds of the plant with an insecticide prior to planting. The insecticide treatment makes the resulting plant more resistant to herbicides and in particular to post-emergence herbicides as compared to untreated seeds. The plants suitably do not have complete natural or complete engineered resistance to the herbicide. The treated seeds are then planted in a field and the herbicide is applied to the field. The resulting plants growing from the treated seeds have increased tolerance to the herbicide as compared to plants grown from seeds not treated with the insecticide.
