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

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

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.

Use of adjuvants to improve abscisic acid performance

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.
