Abstract
The present invention is directed to methods of improving stress tolerance, growth and/or yield in plants by applying an effective amount of a mixture of abscisic acid and malic acid to the plant.
Claims8
A method of improving stress tolerance in dicotyledonous plants consisting of applying an effective amount of(S)-abscisic acid (ABA) and malic acid to the plant, wherein the weight ratio of ABA to malic acid is from about 3.3:1 to about 1:33.3.
A method of improving yield in dicotyledonous plant consisting of applying an effective amount of(S)-abscisic acid (ABA) and malic acid to the plant, wherein the weight ratio of ABA to malic acid is from about 3.3:1 to about 1:33.3.
A method of improving growth in dicotyledonous plants consisting of applying an effective amount of(S)-abscisic acid (ABA) and malic acid to the plant, wherein the weight ratio of ABA to malic acid is from about 3.3:1 to about 1:33.3.
