Claims20
A non-aqueous solution comprising:
- a) a plant growth regulator mixture including 0.001 to 1 wt. % at least one auxin, 0.001-0.3 wt. % at least one gibberellin, and 0.001-0.3 wt. % at least one cytokinin;
- b) at least one organic solvent selected from the group consisting of ethanol, n-propanol, iso-propanol, ethyl lactate, 3-hydroxybutyrate (ethyl and propyl esters), glycols, glycerol, polyethylene glycol, polypropylene glycol, propylene carbonate and combinations thereof;
- and
- c) optionally at least one mineral, optionally at least one surfactant, optionally at least one antifoam, optionally at least one preservative, and optionally combinations thereof, and
- d) less than 5 wt. % water;
- wherein said non-aqueous solution is stable and said at least one organic solvent and said less than 5 wt. % water are the only solvents present in said non-aqueous solution.
