Abstract
The invention relates to the use of a crushed material obtained from at least one part of Rocket plants, for example of the genera Eruca (Eruca sativa, Eruca vesicaria, etc.), Diplotaxis (Diplotaxis erucoides, Diplotaxis tenuifolia, Diplotaxis muralis, etc.), Bunias (Bunias erucago, Bunias orientalis, etc.), Erucastrum (Erucastrum nasturtiifolium, Erucastrum incanum, etc.) or Cakile, in order to stimulate plant growth or root growth. The usefulness of the product of the invention has also been proven in conditions of stress for the plant (for example water stress). The crushed material is obtained from leaves, seeds and/or flowers of plants.
Claims15
A method for stimulating plant resistance to a water stress and for limiting a loss of dry matter linked to the water stress, comprising an application on said plant of an extract obtained by liquid extraction, aqueous extraction or solvent extraction, from at least one part of a Rocket plant, thereby reducing effects of the water stress.
A method for stimulating plant resistance to a water stress and for limiting a loss of dry matter linked to the water stress, comprising an application on said plant, of an extract obtained by aqueous extraction, from at least one part of a plant selected from Eruca sativa and Diplotaxis tenuifolia, thereby reducing effects of the water stress, wherein said application on said plant is achieved by watering soil, drop-by-drop irrigation, use in hydroponics, or seed coating, said method comprising a step of grinding in water at least one part of plants from Eruca sativa and Diplotaxis tenuifolia to provide said extract, and a step of filtering solid portions of said extract to obtain a liquid, wherein said plant on which said extract is applied is a tomato, a lettuce, a cucumber, wheat, soft wheat, a vegetable, an ornamental plant, a tree, a shrub or a cereal except maize.
