Patent number: 5597400Abstract: Plant growth stimulants containing compounds which increase intracellular carbon dioxide as the main active component and optionally supplemented with specific nutrients have been found to enhance productivity of plants. Exemplary compounds include lower alcohols, such as methanol, ethanol, propanol and butanol, and amino acids, such as glycine, glutamate, and aspartate. Such growth stimulation appears to result, in part, from inhibition of stress induced photorespiration according to a previously unrecognized photosynthetic pathway. Exposure of the plants to sunlight or other sufficient illumination following treatment with the compositions results in enhanced fixation of carbon dioxide and turgor. Stimulant compositions may comprise from 5% to 50% by volume aqueous solutions of methanol or 0.1% to 10% by weight amino acids and are preferably applied by foliar spraying of plants and plant shoots.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 1994Date of Patent: January 28, 1997Inventors: Arthur M.

Patent number: 5424271Abstract: Described are new strains of Drechslera spp., which possess herbicidal effects against all varieties of barnyard grass, i.e., Echinochloa spp. as weed but do not give any influence to crops under cultivation such as rice. Weed control agents according to the present invention, which contain one or more of the novel strains, have high safety and selectivity, thereby providing practical control effects against barnyard grass. Weed control compositions according to the present invention, which contain one or more of the new strains in combination with one or more chemical herbicides, have sufficient herbicidal effects even at dosages which are too low to permit control of weeds when they are applied singly, thereby making it possible to reduce the dosage of herbicides. The weed control compositions can therefore contribute to the prevention of environmental pollution and the occurrence of weeds with acquired pesticide resistance.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 1994Date of Patent: June 13, 1995Assignee: Mitsui Toatsu Chemicals, Inc.Inventors: Kenichi Yamaguchi, Masanobu Arita, Masatoshi Gohbara, Tatsuo Shinmi, Keiko Fukui, Emi Tohyama
