The present invention generally relates to aqueous compositions containing salts of (S)-(+)-abscisic acid, the surfactant Atlox&#x2122; 4913, and the color stabilizers sodium citrate and sodium acetate, methods of their preparation, and methods of their agricultural use.

Stable and non-precipitating aqueous compositions containing the potassium salt of (S)-(+)-abscisic acid, and methods of their preparation and use

The present invention generally relates to color stable formulations containing the potassium salt of (S)-(+)-abscisic acid, the color stabilizers sodium citrate and sodium acetate, the antimicrobial agent potassium sorbate, and do not contain an acrylic copolymer surfactant. The present invention is also directed to methods for using the present formulations in organic farming.

[object Object]

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 generally relates to stable S-(+)-abscisic acid liquid and soluble granule formulations and methods of making and using such formulations.

Stable S-(+)-abscisic acid liquid and soluble granule formulations

The present invention generally relates to salts of S-(+)-abscisic acid, aqueous liquid compositions containing salts of S-(+)-abscisic acid and methods of their preparation for agricultural use.

Salts, aqueous liquid compositions containing salts of S-(+)-abscisic acid and methods of their preparation

The invention relates to low VOC plant growth regulator compositions comprising less than about 25% of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The compositions comprise forchlorfenuron (CPPU). Also provided are methods of using the compositions.

Low VOC and stable plant growth regulator liquid and granule compositions

This invention relates to the use of nitrogen and/or calcium containing fertilizers or salts to improve the performance of abscisic acid (ABA) analogs and ABA derivatives on tomato leaf transpiration inhibition. This invention also relates to the use of ABA analogs or derivates or their salts to reduce the phytotoxicity of foliar applied nitrogen and/or calcium-containing fertilizers or salts.

Enhanced abscisic acid analog and fertilizer performance

Soluble and stable liquid compositions containing a plant growth regulator selected from the group consisting of cytokinin and a gibberellin, an acid solubilizer such as citric acid, tartaric acid or glycolic acid and a solvent; as well as methods for making and using the composition are disclosed. The compositions improve solubility, handling, stability, safety, as well as activity improvements such as improved plant growth, yield, fruit thinning or sizing and quality. The compositions are soluble and stable by adding an ethoxylated alkyl alcohol wherein the growth regulator is 6-benzyladenine (6-BA) or forchlorfenuron (CPPU) and the ethoxylated alcohol surfactant is Calkyl alcohol in propylene glycol. The compositions may also contain a cytokinin such as 6-benzyladenine (6-BA) or forchlorfenuron (CPPU) that is increased in solubility and activity and by synergistically combined with GAor GAAas well as in storage stability by adding an antioxidant. The compositions are formulated in a ready-to-mix formulation.

Stable and water-soluble plant growth regulator liquid compositions and methods for use of same

This invention relates to the use of nitrogen- or calcium-containing fertilizers to improve the performance of S-(+)-abscisic acid (S-ABA, ABA) or ABA salts on plants. This invention also relates to the use of ABA to reduce the phytotoxicity of foliar applied fertilizers.
