The invention relates to compositions comprising abscisic acid, and/or salts, derivatives and analogs thereof, and methods of using the same for improving the health and survival of animal offspring.

Compositions of abscisic acid for animal health

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

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.

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

The invention relates to compositions comprising abscisic acid, and/or salts, derivatives and analogs thereof, and methods of pharmaceutical and/or nutraceutical use.

Pharmaceutical and nutraceutical compositions of abscisic acid

Provided are compositions and methods of improving a plant growth factor. The compositions and methods contain combinations of aminoethoxyvinylglycine and mepiquat chloride. The compositions provide an improvement in a plant growth factor, such as an increase in yield in cotton plant.

Aminoethoxyvinylglycine in combination with mepiquat chloride

A process of inhibiting stem elongation in ornamental bulbous plants or in cut flowers from such plants, involving treating such plants or flowers with an effective amount of ACC synthase inhibitor, such as aminoethoxyvinylglycine and aminooxyacetic acid to inhibit stem elongation, by administration of a solid, semi-solid or a solution of such ACC synthase inhibitor.

Process for inhibiting stem elongation in bulbous plants and cut flowers

Method of accelerating and prolonging flowering in plants

Liquid formulations, suitable for use in extending the vase-life of cut flowers and which resist the development of unsightly discoloration and turbidity comprise from about 55 parts by weight to about 98 parts by weight of a sugar; from about 0.05 part by weight to about 1 part by weight of an inhibitor of aminocyclopropanecarboxylate synthase selected from L-trans-2-amino-4-(2-aminoethoxy)-3-butenoic acid and carboxymethoxylamine; from about 0.1 part by weight to about 5 parts by weight of an antimicrobial agent; from about 1 part by weight to about 5 parts by weight of aluminum sulfate; and from about 0.1 part by weight to about 5 parts by weight of a dicarboxylic acid of from two to six carbon atoms. All parts by weight based upon the total weight of the dissolved solid components.
