Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a flower-thinning composition, which is safe for honeybees when sprayed at a low concentration, and a flower-thinning method using the same.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition for plant, comprising 6-benzyl aminopurine (6-BAP), a fatty acid as a solvent, and an emulsifier, to an emulsifiable concentrate formulation (EC) for producing an oil-in-water emulsifiable concentrate or an oil-in-water emulsifiable concentrate using the same, to a method for preparing the compositions, to a plant growth or development regulating method, or to a fruit thinning method.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a flower-thinning composition, which is safe for honeybees when sprayed at a low concentration, and a flower-thinning method using the same.

Abstract: A plant nutrient composition of the present invention can produce high-quality fruits or fruit vegetables which cause substantially no chemical damage, have no antagonistic action of each component in crops, synergistically increase inherent flavors of fruits through interactions of nitrogen and calcium, and improve textures, by performing foliage spray through a specific range of weight ratio of total nitrogen and water-soluble calcium, the spray concentration, and the spray amount when fruits or fruit vegetables are cultivated.

Abstract: A process and a device for the joining of fastening elements on a mask frame of picture tubes by welding using laser beams is applicable to the production of color picture tubes for television sets and computer monitors. After positioning the fastening elements, the elements are welded by laser beams from at least one laser source. The laser source is located outside the mask frame, and the laser beam is guided through a glass wall of a screen to weld the fastening elements.

Abstract: This invention provides a power delivery device (10) for delivering a fixed volume of flowable material to a specific site, the power delivery device (10) comprising pumping means (14) for forcing a predetermined volume of the flowable material through at least one flow path (38,40) of the power delivery device (10) by means of line pressure exerted on the flowable material; and valve means (12), operatively connected to the pumping means (14), for selectively opening and closing the at least one flow path (38, 40) through which the flowable material moves such that the predetermined volume of flowable material can be sprayed out of the power sprayer (10) when the at least one flow path (40) is open and can be redirected to fill the power sprayer (10) when the at least one flow path (40) is closed.

Abstract: A composition mixture for controlling axillary and terminal buds of agronomic, horticultural and forestry crops including from about 5 to about 95 percent by weight of at least one first fatty alcohol having up to about 10 carbon atoms and from about 95 to about 5 percent by weight of at least one second fatty alcohol having at least 11 carbon atoms. A method according to the present invention includes contacting the crop buds with such a composition.

Abstract: A method for inhibiting bud growth and development on plants by applying to the plants a bud growth inhibiting amount of dimethyl 2,3,5,6-tetrachloroterephthalate is disclosed.

Abstract: Novel compounds of the general formula ##STR1## as well as novel compositions thereof and methods of using same are described. These compounds have been found to be valuable for controlling, modifying and inhibiting the growth of plants.
