Abstract
Plant growth compositions include a mixture of inert compounds and an active component combination of auxin, gibberellin and cytokinin. The plant growth compositions are auxin-dominant, and the ratio of cytokinin to auxin in the active component combination ranges from about 1:10.5 to about 1:4.5. The amount of cytokinin ranges from about 0.1 to 10 wt % by weight of the active component combination in plant growth compositions formulated for in-furrow application to corn plants. Methods of improving plant growth involve in-furrow, seed and/or foliar application of one or more plant types with a plant growth composition. Improvements in plant growth include increases in the average number of bushels produced per acre.
Claims7
A plant growth composition comprising:
- a mixture of inert compounds;
- and
- an active component combination of an amount of auxin, an amount of gibberellin, and an amount of cytokinin,
- wherein the amount of auxin is dominant in the active component combination, and
- wherein a ratio of cytokinin to auxin in the active component combination is about 1:10.5 to 1:4.5.
A plant growth composition comprising:
- a mixture of inert compounds;
- and
- an active component combination of an amount of auxin, an amount of gibberellin, and an amount of cytokinin,
- wherein the amount of auxin is greater than the amount of gibberellin,
- wherein the amount of gibberellin is less than the amount of cytokinin, and
- wherein the amount of cytokinin is about 10 to about 20 wt % by weight of the active component combination.
