Abstract: The present invention is directed to methods of increasing the environmental stress tolerance of a plant, to methods of improving the quality and/or yield of a plant crop, to methods of application of agrochemicals having a physiological effect on a plant in the plant irrigation water, and to crops produced using said methods.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of improving the yield or water use efficiency in crops of useful plants cultivated under deficit irrigation which comprises the application of an agrochemical compound to the plant, parts of such plant, plant propagation material, or at its locus of growth, wherein the agrochemical compound is selected from the strobilurins, the neonicotinoids, the azoles, the SAR-inducing compounds, certain plant growth regulators (PGRs) and mixtures of such compounds.

Abstract: A method of producing berry fruits having an enhanced quality, extended shelf life and/or a reduced level of fungal contamination is provided, comprising: (a) providing a first fungicidal composition comprising a mixture of cyprodinil (I) and fludioxonil (II), and a fungicidally acceptable carrier (such as in a suitable volume of water in a spray tank to form a spray composition), (b) applying said fungicidal composition at a time T0 (such as by means of a sprayer fed from the spray tank) to a soil surface in the field, to foliage and/or to flowers of berry fruit crops that have emerged above the soil surface, (c) optionally providing a second fungicidal composition comprising an alternate fungicide different form said first fungicide, and a fungicidally acceptable carrier (such as in a suitable volume of water in a spray tank to form a spray composition) and applying the second composition at a time T0 plus or minus (+/?) 5 to 20 days to a soil surface in the field, to foliage and/or to flowers of berry fr
