This application discloses the compound 3-(2-chloropyridin-4-yl)-5-methyl-1-phenyl-1,3,5-triazin-2-one. This compound is useful in increasing the size of grapes, as a cotton defoliant, and as a herbicide.

1,3,5-Triazine-2-one derivatives and their use as plant growth regulators

The subject matter of this invention involves 2-[4-(2-pyridinyloxy)phenoxy]propionyl-2-oxazolidinones which are substituted in the pyridinyl ring by trifluoromethyl and/or chloro. The compounds are useful for increasing the recoverable sugar in sugarcane.

2-[4-(2-pyridinyloxy)phenoxy]propionyl-2-oxazolidinones

The subject matter of this invention is the use of propanoic esters of the following structural formula: ##STR1## wherein R is an alkyl group having 10 to 16 atoms to increase the recoverable sugar in sugarcane.

Method of increasing the yield of sugar from sugarcane

The subject matter of this invention is the use of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyethyl 2-[4-(3,5-dichloropyridin-2-yloxy)phenoxy]propanoate as a sugarcane ripener.

The subject matter of this invention is the new compound, pent-2-en-4-on-2-yl 2-[4-(5-trifluoromethyl-2-pyridinyloxy)phenoxy]propanoate. This compound is useful for increasing the recoverable sugar in sugarcane.

Pent-2-en-4-on-2-yl

The subject matter of this invention are the following sulfonamides: ##STR1## wherein X is chlorine or trifluoromethyl

Certain 1-(N-methylsulfonamido)-prop-2-yl

This invention relates to a propionamides of the following structural formula: ##STR1## wherein X is chlorine or trifluoromethyl and Y is hydrogen or chlorine. The compounds of this invention are useful as sugarcane ripeners.

Pyridinyloxy propoinamide derivatives useful in increasing the

The subject matter of this invention is the use of 6-amino-2-ethylthio-4-pyrimidinol and its water-soluble salts to lessen the acidity and increase the Brix/acid ratio of citrus.

6-Amino-2-ethylthio-4-pyrimidinol as a citrus ripener

The subject matter of this application is the new compound, 3-chlorobenzyl-3,6-dichloro-2-methoxybenzoate and its use as a sugarcane ripener.

3-Chlorobenzyl-3,6-dichloro-2-methoxybenzoate

The subject matter of this invention is the use of 3-chlorobenzyl-3,6-dichloro-2-methoxybenzoate to increase the recoverable sugar in citrus.

3-Chlorobenzyl-3,6-dichloro-2-methoxybenzoate as a citrus ripener

The subject matter of this invention is the use of 3-chlorobenzyl-3,6-dichloro-2-methoxybenzoate to increase the recoverable sugar in grapes.

3-Chlorobenzyl-3,6-dichloro-2-methoxybenzoate as a grape ripener

This invention discloses a method of increasing the sugar content in sugar cane with the use of the compound N,N-dimethyl-N-hexadecyl-N-2-propenylammonium bromide.

Method of increasing the yield of sugar obtained from sugar cane

Disclosed herein is a method of increasing the sugar (primarily glucose and fructose) content in grapes by applying to grape vines (primarily to the leaves) a compound which is vanillin or a carboxylic acid salt having from 3 to 5 carbon atoms. Grapes are customarily harvested when the sugar level is about 16% 'Brix', and application of the compounds of the present invention gives the grower a better means of controlling sugar level so that the fruit can be harvested in an orderly manner.

Ripening of grapes

New dicyclic thiophene compounds having the structural formula ##STR1## wherein X is an ester or cyano group and Y is a substituted amino group. The compounds are useful as agricultural chemicals and particularly as ripeners for sugarcane.

Derivatives of thiophene

Disclosed herein is a method of increasing the sugar (primarily glucose and fructose) content in grapes by applying to grape vines (primarily to the leaves) a compound which is vanillin or a carboxylic acid salt having from 3 to 5 carbon atoms. Grapes are customarily harvested when the sugar level is about 16% 'Brix' and application of the compounds of the present invention gives the grower a better means of controlling sugar level so that the fruit can be harvested in an orderly manner.
