  • Publication number: 20230363388
    Abstract: The invention relates to a liquid dispersion comprising (i) at least one growth regulator which has a solubility in vegetable oil of about 0.1 wt % or less; (ii) an organic hydrophobic carrier, preferably a vegetable oil, hydrocarbon oil or paraffin oil, or a derivative thereof; wherein the at least one growth regulator which is insoluble or unstable in water, is present in the liquid dispersion in an amount exceeding 0.1 wt %; and wherein more than 90% of the particles of said growth regulator has a particle size of between 1-7 ?m; wherein the dispersion further comprises (iii) an emulsifier which stabilizes the dispersion in the organic carrier, and which causes the concentrate to be water miscible and self-emulsifying when diluted in water in a suitable dilution, such as for example a 1:50 dilution or higher dilution; wherein the dispersion is essentially water free.

  • Publication number: 20210315211
    Abstract: The invention relates to a plant growth regulator system comprising a synergistic combination of prohexadione and ethephon. The invention further relates to a method for treating plants with at least prohexadione and ethephon, wherein a water based spraying liquid is sprayed on plants, wherein the liquid comprises water and suitable amounts of prohexadione and of ethephon, wherein the amount of prohexadione is between 20 and 400 g per hectare, and wherein the amount of ethephon is between 0 and 1000 g/ha. The plants are rape seed, flax or cereal crops. Cereal can be barley, oat, wheat, lye, triticale, grain or corn. The combination shows substantial synergistic effects on stem reduction, and therefore reduce risk of lodging and improve yield.

  • Patent number: 10485237
    Abstract: The invention relates to the use of gibberellin 7 (GA7) for thinning of stone fruit, wherein the use comprises applying the GA7 to stone fruit in a first year by foliar spray within 12 weeks after full bloom, to achieve thinning in the following year. The stone fruit can be peach, nectarine, apricot, cherry, mirabelle or plum, preferably peach or nectarine. GA7 is used or applied in the period of 4 to 12 weeks after full bloom in the first year. The GA7, if used in admixture with GA4, has relative amounts of GA7 to GA4 of 70% GA7 or more and 30% GA4 or less.
