Patent number: 5935909Abstract: Tree seedlings, especially pine tree nursery seedlings, are treated, for example, by a root soak with a water-soluble, polyorganic acid, having a molecular weight size of more than 1,500 Daltons. Particularly suitable for this purpose are polyamino acids such as polyaspartic acid.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 1997Date of Patent: August 10, 1999Assignee: Donlar CorporationInventor: J. Larry Sanders

Patent number: 5869424Abstract: Provided are compositions and methods of improving a plant growth factor. The compositions and methods contain combinations of plant growth regulators such as plant growth retardants and inhibitors of ethylene biosynthesis or action. The ethylene inhibitors comprise substituted oxime-ethers having the general formula: ##STR1## where R1 and R2 independently of one another are C1-C6-alkyl, n is 2 or 3 and R3 is hydrogen or C1-C6-alkyl. Specific inhibitors of ethylene biosynthesis or action include: {?(isopropylidene)-amino!oxy}-acetic acid-2-(methoxy)-2-oxoethyl ester, {?(isopropylidene)-amino!oxy}-acetic acid-2-(hexyloxy)-2-oxoethyl ester, {{cyclohexylidene)-amino!oxy}-acetic acid-2-(isopropyloxy)-2-oxyethyl ester (methoxy)-2-oxoethyl ester, ?((isopropylidene)-amino!oxy acetic acid, aminooxyacetic acid, aminoethoxyvinylglycine, rhizobitoxine, silver ions (e.g. silver thiosulfate), and 2,5-norbornadiene.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 1996Date of Patent: February 9, 1999Assignee: BASF CorporationInventors: Wihelm Rademacher, Charles W. Helpert, Charles W. Finch, Mary Callan, Hans von Amsberg, Johannes Jung, Peter Eberhard Schott

Patent number: 5846908Abstract: Methods and compositions for enhancing plant growth provide for foliar application of a substance which enhances the accumulation of formylterahydropteroyl polyglutamate (C.sub.1 -THF) in a treated plant. Treatment with substance that contribute to the structure of (C.sub.1 -THF) increase the rate and quantity of carbon fixation by the plant. Thereafter, plant growth is further improved either by exposure of the plant to elevated oxygen, illumination and heat or by foliar input of single carbon fragment sources. Opitmal results are obtained by combined treatment with a substance that can serve as a sink for C.sub.1 fragments produced in the leaf.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 1996Date of Patent: December 8, 1998Inventors: Arthur M. Nonomura, John N. Nishio, Andrew A. Benson
