Abstract
The present invention relates to 1-amino-1-cyclopropanecarboxylic acid (ACC) mixtures. The present invention further relates to methods of promoting or synchronizing bud break in woody perennial plants by applying ACC mixtures and nitrogen containing fertilizer at a ratio from about 1:8.5 to about 1:510 of the present invention. The present invention further relates to methods of promoting plant growth in woody perennial plants by applying ACC mixtures and nitrogen containing fertilizer at a ratio from about 1:8.5 to about 1:510 of the present invention.
Claims15
An agricultural composition for breaking bud dormancy of woody perennial plants comprising a mixture of an effective amount of 1-amino-l-cyclopropanecarboxylic acid (ACC) or salts thereof and a nitrogen containing fertilizer, wherein the ACC and nitrogen of the nitrogen containing fertilizer are present at a ratio from about 1:8.5 to about 1:510, wherein the nitrogen containing fertilizer is selected from the group consisting of 15-0-0 fertilizer and 17-0-0 fertilizer.
A method of promoting bud break in woody perennial plants comprising applying an effective amount of 1-amino-l-cyclopropanecarboxylic acid (ACC) or salts thereof and an effective amount of a nitrogen containing fertilizer, wherein the ACC and nitrogen of the nitrogen containing fertilizer are present at a ratio from about 1:8.5 to about 1:510, wherein the nitrogen containing fertilizer is selected from the group consisting of 15-0-0 fertilizer and 17-0-0 fertilizer.
A method of synchronizing bud break in woody perennial plants comprising applying an effective amount of ACC and an effective amount of a nitrogen containing fertilizer, wherein the ACC and nitrogen of the nitrogen containing fertilizer are present at a ratio from about 1:8.5 to about 1:510, wherein the nitrogen containing fertilizer is selected from the group consisting of 15-0-0 fertilizer and 17-0-0 fertilizer.
A method of promoting plant growth in woody perennial plants comprising applying an effective amount of 1-amino-l-cyclopropanecarboxylic acid (ACC) or salts thereof and an effective amount of nitrogen of a nitrogen containing fertilizer, wherein the ACC and the nitrogen containing fertilizer are present at a ratio from about 1:8.5 to about 1:510, wherein the nitrogen containing fertilizer is selected from the group consisting of 15-0-0 fertilizer and 17-0-0 fertilizer.
