Abstract: The present invention generally relates to aqueous compositions containing salts of (S)-(+)-abscisic acid, the surfactant Atlox™ 4913, and the color stabilizers sodium citrate and sodium acetate, methods of their preparation, and methods of their agricultural use.

Abstract: This invention relates to the use of nitrogen and/or calcium containing fertilizers or salts to improve the performance of abscisic acid (ABA) analogs and ABA derivatives on tomato leaf transpiration inhibition. This invention also relates to the use of ABA analogs or derivates or their salts to reduce the phytotoxicity of foliar applied nitrogen and/or calcium-containing fertilizers or salts.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to stable S-(+)-abscisic acid liquid and soluble granule formulations and methods of making and using such formulations.

Abstract: This invention relates to the use of selected adjuvants to improve the performance of S-(+)-abscisic acid (S-ABA, ABA) or ABA salts on plants.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to the treatment of a plant at the flowering or fruiting stage with an effective amount of abscisic acid, its analogs or derivatives and salts thereof to reduce the number of fruits that the plant sets and grows to maturity.

Abstract: Treatment with N-(2-phenylethyl)succinamic acid or its salts protects against inhibition of growth by a neonicotinoid compound applied as a seed treatment or applied directly on or near the root zone of the seedling.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to the use of piperonyl butoxide, alone or with S-(+)-abscisic acid or its salts to minimize stress to plants.

Abstract: Soluble and stable liquid compositions containing a plant growth regulator selected from the group consisting of cytokinin and a gibberellin, an acid solubilizer such as citric acid, tartaric acid or glycolic acid and a solvent; as well as methods for making and using the composition are disclosed. The compositions improve solubility, handling, stability, safety, as well as activity improvements such as improved plant growth, yield, fruit thinning or sizing and quality. The compositions are soluble and stable by adding an ethoxylated alkyl alcohol wherein the growth regulator is 6-benzyladenine (6-BA) or forchlorfenuron (CPPU) and the ethoxylated alcohol surfactant is C12-15 alkyl alcohol in propylene glycol. The compositions may also contain a cytokinin such as 6-benzyladenine (6-BA) or forchlorfenuron (CPPU) that is increased in solubility and activity and by synergistically combined with GA3 or GA4A7 as well as in storage stability by adding an antioxidant.

Abstract: This invention relates to the use of nitrogen- or calcium-containing fertilizers to improve the performance of S-(+)-abscisic acid (S-ABA, ABA) or ABA salts on plants. This invention also relates to the use of ABA to reduce the phytotoxicity of foliar applied fertilizers.

Abstract: The invention generally relates to various essential oil formulations for protecting plants from nematodes and other pathogens. The invention provides specific formulations which do not require the use of chemical additives. These formulations have low phytotoxicity and low volatility. Also, methods of applying the formulations for agricultural use are disclosed.

Abstract: This invention relates to the use of N6-phenylmethyl-1H-purin-6-amine (benzyladenine) in combination with S—(+)-abscisic acid (ABA), ABA analogs or derivatives to improve the performance of germination delay seed treatments.

Abstract: This invention describes the use of S-abscisic acid (S-ABA) and ethylene producing-agents such as ethephon to synergistically improve red color in grapes and to alter the sensory characteristics of wine.

Abstract: Treatment with N-(2-phenylethyl)succinamic acid or its salts protects against inhibition of growth by a neonicotinoid compound applied as a seed treatment or applied directly on or near the root zone of the seedling.

Abstract: The present invention is generally directed to the use of gibberellin 4/7 (GA4/7) in the field of seed treatment, specifically to accelerate crop germination.

Abstract: This invention describes the use of S-(+)-abscisic acid (ABA) or ABA analogs or ABA derivatives to delay flowering of parental lines or varieties in the production of hybrid seed.

Abstract: This invention describes the use of S-(+)-abscisic acid (ABA) or ABA analogs or ABA derivatives alone or with guanylate cyclase activators as seed treatments to improve the survival of corn seeds and seedlings when low temperature occurs after planting.
