The present invention relates to concentrated gibberellin formulations and methods of their use.

Concentrated gibberellin solution formulations

The present invention is directed to the treatment of crop plants with 3'-methyl-(S)-abscisic acid, 3&#x2032;-propargyl-(S)-abscisic acid, and/or salts thereof in order to improve the plants' environmental stress tolerance.

(S)-abscisic acid derivatives for improving plant stress tolerance

The invention relates to a novel class of (S)-3'-substituted-abscisic acid derivatives and (&#xb1;)-3&#x2032;-substituted-abscisic acid derivatives, and methods of synthesizing the derivatives.

3'-substituted-abscisic acid derivatives

The present invention generally relates to concentrated natamycin suspension formulations for inhibition of fungal growth. Specifically, the present invention relates to stable suspension concentrate formulations comprising from about 25% to about 48% w/w natamycin, from about 0.1% to about 10% w/w of an anionic surfactant selected from the group consisting of polyelectrolyte polymers, modified styrene acrylic polymers, dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinates, sodium salts of naphthalene sulfonates, and combinations thereof, and water. The formulations of the present invention contain natamycin as particles which are on average less than 11 microns in diameter and the formulations have a viscosity of less than 1400 centipoise at 21 degrees Celsius.

Concentrated natamycin suspension formulations

The present invention is directed to the treatment of grapes with 3'-methyl-(S)-abscisic acid, 3&#x2032;-propargyl-(S)-abscisic acid, and/or salts thereof in order to enhance the color of the grapes.

(S)-abscisic acid derivatives for enhanced grape coloration

The present invention is directed to the treatment of apple trees, peach trees, and grape vines with 3'-methyl-(S)-abscisic acid, 3&#x2032;-propargyl-(S)-abscisic acid, and/or salts thereof in order to reduce the number of fruits on the trees or vines that grow to maturity.

(S)-abscisic acid derivatives for thinning

The present invention is directed to methods of using 1-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA), or a salt thereof, alone or in combination with aminoethoxyvinylglycine (AVG), or a salt thereof, on oil palm before harvest to increase oil production.

Methods for increasing oil palm yield

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.

Synergistic combination to improve grape color and to alter sensory characteristics of wine

The invention relates to low volatile organic chemical gibberellic acid ('GA'), gibberellin('GA'), gibberellin(&#x201c;GA&#x201d;), or combinations thereof formulations and methods of their use. Specifically, formulations of the present invention are directed toward agricultural formulations including from about 1 to about 10% of at least one gibberellin selected from the group consisting of GA, GA, and GA, from about 85 to about 99% polyethylene glycol with a molecular weight from about 190 to about 420, and from about 0.1 to about 5% of a non-ionic or anionic surfactant, wherein the formulation does not include isopropyl alcohol, and wherein the percentages are percent by weight of the formulation.

Low VOC gibberellin formulations

The present invention is directed to methods of using ethylene antagonists on oil palm before harvest of the oil palm fruit to increase oil production, wherein the ethylene antagonist is not 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) or aminoethyoxyvinylglycine (AVG).

Suspension concentrate compositions are disclosed for delivering S-(+)-Abscisic acid either alone or in combination with a second plant growth regulator to crop seed prior to planting as well as for foliar, soil drench, in-furrow and sprench (foliar spray and soil drench) applications are disclosed. The compositions, when properly combined in an aqueous carrier and processed through wet milling to achieve the desired particle size, will result in stable compositions that are desirable for treating crop seeds.

Plant growth regulator compositions, methods of preparation and use thereof

The present invention is directed to methods of using 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) on oil palm before harvest of the oil palm fruit to increase oil production.

This invention describes the use of S-abscisic acid (S-ABA) to modify sensory characteristics such as aroma, bouquet, flavor, mouthfeel, astringency, balance, complexity or finish of red grapes and red wine.

Use of abscisic acid to alter sensory characteristics of red grapes and wine

The present invention is directed to methods of using aminoethoxyvinylglycine (AVG), or a salt thereof, on oil palm before harvest to increase oil production.
