Abstract: Disclosed is a method for promoting the growth of a plant, comprising treating the plant with an effective amount of a compound represented by the following formula (1): wherein any one of R1, R2, R3 and R4 represents a trifluoromethyl group, the others represent a hydrogen atom, and R5 represents a methyl group or an ethyl group.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for promoting the growth of a plant, comprising treating the plant with an effective amount of a compound represented by the following formula (1):, wherein any one of R1, R2, R3 and R4 represents a trifluoromethyl group, and the others represent a hydrogen atom, or an agriculturally acceptable salt thereof.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for promoting the growth of a plant which comprises treating the plant with an effective amount of a compound represented by formula (1); and so on.

Abstract: The present invention provides a complex machine tool wherein the punching center is coincides with the cutting work position so that the range of movement of a workpiece is not subjected to any restriction even during the workpiece cutting work in the same manner as in the workpiece punching work. The composite machine tool comprises a plasma torch (16) mounted on the machine tool body near the working position and arranged to be movable freely such that it can be withdrawn from the working position when a workpiece (5) is subjected to die-punching work, and proceeded to the working position when the workpiece is subjected to cutting work. Futher, the machine tool comprises protecting means (18, 19) for protecting the lower turret (3) and other members mounted adjacent thereto from the dross and heat developed by plasma arc during the workpiece cutting work by the plasma torch.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for driving a hollow pile into the ground. By using a hollow rod having a short auger fixedly secured to a leading end portion thereof, excavated earth and sand are lifted to and around the upper portion of the auger where compressed air is spouted from nozzle orifices formed in the hollow rod thereby lifting the excavated earth and sand through the hollow pile and consequently discharging the same from the hollow pile. As earth and sand are discharged from the hollow pile, the pile is sunk or driven into the ground.
