Abstract: Tip seal material 22 is provided on a tip seal reel 12 mounted on a reel support spindle 14. Tip seal material 22 is unwound from the reel 12 by a driven roller 26 of a tip seal material drive and metering mechanism 16. A tool tip assembly 18 with a passage 62 guides tip seal material into a scroll tip seal groove 52 of a scroll 24 inserted in a rotatable scroll assembly fixture nest 78. As the driven roller 26 feeds tip seal material 22 into the tip seal groove 52, the tip seal material rotates the scroll and moves the tool tip assembly 18 along shaft 54, which mounts in support members 56. A knife assembly 64 severs the tip seal material 22 when the proper length of tip seal material has been advanced by the driven roller 26. The driven roller 26 resumes feeding the tip seal material 22 after the severing operation. The resumed feeding results in the remaining severed piece of tip seal material being pushed and transferred from the passage 62 and into the scroll tip seal groove 52.

Abstract: The invention relates to compounds having the formula ##STR1## wherein R is equal to hydrogen, halogen or alkyl containing 1-5 carbon atoms; X is equal to oxygen, sulfur or --NH; n is equal to the integer 1 to 6; with the proviso when X is --NH, n may not equal 6. These compounds are useful in regulating the growth of leguminous plants.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds of the formula ##STR1## wherein: T is hydrogen, lower alkyl, halo, --CF.sub.3, --CN or --NO.sub.2 ; x is 1 or 2; n is 1 or 2; m is zero or 1; when m is 1, R is hydrogen, lower alkyl, halo (lower) alkyl, lower alkenyl, halo (lower) alkenyl, benzyl, phenyl, carbamoyl (lower) alkyl, cyano (lower) alkyl or agriculturally acceptable salts; when m is zero, R is ##STR2## R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 independently equal hydrogen, lower alkyl, lower alkenyl, lower alkoxy (lower) alkyl or phenyl; R.sub.3 is hydrogen or lower alkyl; a is 4, 5 or 6.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of compounds of the formula ##STR1## wherein R is C.sub.1-5 alkyl, C.sub.2-5 alkenyl, C.sub.2-5 alkynyl, haloalkyl, phenyl or phenyl substituted by one or two halogen, C.sub.1-5 alkyl, C.sub.1-5 alkoxy or haloalkyl moieties; T is equal to C.sub.1-5 alkyl, C.sub.1-5 alkoxy, halogen, or haloalkyl in a method of regulating plant growth, especially leguminous plant growth, as well as to plant growth regulant compositions.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds represented by the formula ##STR1## wherein R represents an alkyl radical having from 1 to 3 carbon atoms, and X and Y represent oxygen or sulfur, and T represents a radical selected from hydrogen and C.sub.1-3 alkoxy. Those compounds have been found useful in a method for regulating plant growth and in plant growth regulant compositions.
