Abstract
The present invention relates to the use of a fructooligosaccharide (FOS) comprising from 2 to 10 monosaccharide units, as an elicitor of the mechanisms of absorption of mineral elements from the soil, and of the defense mechanisms against pathogens. It also relates to a fertilizing and biostimulating composition containing these fructooligosaccharides, and to the use thereof in a method for treating crop plants.
Claims7
A method for stimulating a production of jasmonic acid in a tobacco plant comprising
- applying to said tobacco plant or to a soil in which said tobacco plant is growing, an effective amount of a fructooligosaccharide via a leaf or via a root,
- wherein the fructooligosaccharide consists essentially of fructosylnystose (GF4), nystose (GF3) and kestose (GF2), and
- the combination of fructosylnystose (GF4), nystose (GF3) and kestose (GF2) stimulates the production of jasmonic acid in the tobacco plant.
